Too tired to think of a title

[cleolinda]

Depression: Can't tell if I would just feel bad no matter what--I think there was a legitimate, cyclical hormone dip late last week, which is partly why I felt so horrible--and (whichever topic) is the one I have chosen to gnaw on, or if (whichever topic) is making me feel bad, and if that's the case, if a strong attempt to redirect my thoughts would help. I mean, it probably couldn't hurt anyway, but I guess I'm curious as to whether redirecting my thoughts would make the situation better, or if I'd just settle into some new fixation. Because it's a hopeless topic. It's not something I can fix, it's not something I can do anything to improve, and it's doing a number on my self-esteem, which is leaking out all over everything else.

(Sometimes I think that it might be too late for so many of the things I wanted to accomplish, even though I'm only thirty. To late to catch a trend, too late to be a child prodigy, too late for young love. Well, if that's the case--fuck it, I might as well just have fun, right?)

So. If the sun comes out tomorrow, I'm going to go outside on that photo safari I meant to take a few weeks ago. Take some more pictures of flowers and foliage, basically--I can get some camera practice in, now that I've started thinking of photography as a minor hobby. I've just got to stop angsting and get on with living.

I thought you might be interested in this cocktail (http://theeatenpath.com/2009/03/07/dr-manhattan-the-cocktail/) I saw on TasteSpotting- it's a Dr. Manhattan.

And as for being too late for things: well, fuck that jive. You're thirty, you're still young, and even if you can't be a child prodigy, as long as you're having fun and being happy, then what does that matter?

Thirty and very much feeling the same over here.

I feel lied to!!

My favorite Firefly companion was Alan Tudyk.

[etod.livejournal.com]

Boo. I have been dying to see Phillip Morris. :(

[diddakoi.livejournal.com]

What do they mean Morena Baccarin is *now* an evil alien? She was the big bad in the final Stargate season.

[tristantrakand.livejournal.com]

Cliche and all, but like this totally hot guy once told me: "It's never too late for anything."

[orca-girl.livejournal.com]

Wow! First, am ecstatic about "Sita Sings theBlues"! Second: okay, the Shakespeare portrait kind of blows me away. That is an incredibly big deal... in those circles, I mean.

[smirkdoctor.livejournal.com]

George Lucas must be stopped. Really, TV? Really?

Also, I'm going to have a nightmare about a kangaroo tonight, I'm pretty sure.

I know what you mean: I think everyone occasionally wonders about the "too late" kind of thing as they get older. But I try to remember that good things can happen at any time and sometimes when you're not expecting them. Like my sister winning that poetry contest recently. I mean, she's been writing for years, and it would have been great if it happened earlier; but maybe now was the right time for it to happen. Or my getting involved in the Discworld Convention - it's a great experience that I certainly never thought about before it happened. You know? Not that reminding myself of that helps all the time, but it does sometimes.

...

Replace Christian Bale as Batman? Chyah! Riiight.

Re: I feel lied to!!

[foresthouse.livejournal.com]

What about Jayne?? ;)

[rhoda-rants.livejournal.com]

Star Wars the TV series, huh? Uncle! UNCLE!

As for being 'too late' for things - didn't you write a book? I'm 25, and I'm aiming for that goal still. Seriously, I envy you.

Sometimes I think that it might be too late for so many of the things I wanted to accomplish, even though I'm only thirty.

I turn thirty this summer and I'm starting to feel that coming on, like "Dear God, where did that decade go?"

Before They Were ‘Watchmen’: The Characters That Inspired Nite Owl & Rorschach

I actually had a dream last night where Rorschach showed up the DCU (in a Nightwing comic, of all things) and found his way into the Batcave. While he was going through Batman's files he found out what happened to Ted Kord and got tremendously upset, even though he couldn't explain why.

I may have seen Watchmen too many times this weekend.:)

[viorica8957.livejournal.com]

Is it just me, or does that Shakespeare portrait look more like Marlowe than Bill?

[corinnethewise.livejournal.com]

I think almost everyone I know has been super stressed and depressed and low self-esteemy the last two weeks/week and a half. I'm blaming the winter that won't go away personally and treating it with excessive amounts of chocolate. I'm not sure it's really helping, but it's good for a moment at least.

I hope you feel better anyway. ::sends chocolate::

[reiko18.livejournal.com]

I just inserted "nude" into "First Photo of Radcliffe on Deathly Hallows Set," and had to do a double take. And decided I had to tell you about it.

[worldforawhile.livejournal.com]

Of all those things, the only one I truly am sad and feel less full for missing is young love. I always romanticized the idea of being young lovers (not love itself or being loved, but the idea of two foolish young people who'd giddily fallen for each other). And now I'm just too old, by definition, for that--I've lived too much. Some people have lived too much by the time they're 19 for young love--for me it was really right around 29. I feel like all the other things can happen (when I start to pass JKR's age after Sorcer's Stone was published, I may feel differently--feel free not to remind me of exactly how old she was, augh, great)--but the young love one I'm sorry I missed, and I feel like it would have enriched my life, even though it surely would have ended badly.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Yeah--there are a few experiences that, by definition, I feel I've missed out on. There are some things it'll just always be "too late" for.

[bumblebee-1983.livejournal.com]

Perhaps your depression phase will fade when the weather gets better and you're able to get out and do something different.

At any rate, I hope it's nothing serious. ::hugs and e-chocolate::

And Fantastic Four being rebooted...ALREADY?!? Oy.

[kijikun.livejournal.com]

He'd have some issues with the current Question being a woman as well.

[bumblebee-1983.livejournal.com]

HAHA! Perhaps yeah.

[kijikun.livejournal.com]

While I loved that Jessica Alba was fan of the books and was pushing for Franklin -- I think it might be for the best.

[bumblebee-1983.livejournal.com]

This is true.

But I mean the movie(s) aren't even five years old. At least they should give it another five years where people can kind of forget about the current ones.

But then again, this is just a rumor. ::shrug::

[misachan.livejournal.com]

He'd have a whole bucketful of issues with Renee.:)

[kijikun.livejournal.com]

I want to see this now.

[dragonzair.livejournal.com]

TFOTC video isn't working for me :< And it's depressing me because I keep reading comments of a Bowie-esque thing D: BAH.

LOL @ the Twitard

I would much prefer Russel Brand to Zac Efron. The latter's too baby-faced for the movie >.>

And I'd really like it if they released an image of Deadpool in costume. I already know how Reynolds looks XD I also wanna see him with a dorky face. Kinda like how I imagine Wade would look underneath the mask XD
