So I gave in and got Netflix (because I wanna watch Arrested Development and House of Cards) and I'm giving Supernatural another shot. Watching with a friend who is also new to it, although we both know a fair bit by fannish osmosis. We're about four eps in.
I was supposed to go grocery shopping with my caseworker today but he got called in for an emergency staff meeting at literally the last moment. Grrrr. I was fretting and pacing and psyching myself up all day for that (appointment was at 3pm, cats were pestering me at 7 am and I was vertical by 9) and I have nothing to show for it. And I get to psych myself up for dealing with my caseworker and the store all over again in a week.
Fun mail at least, some Sally Hansen Salon Effects I got off eBay: Prep's Cool (black and silver argyle), Sweet Tart-An (black and hot pink argyle), Tribal It On (black and whitegeometric print), and Check It Out (black and white checkerboard) for the curious. I am loving these things. My nails are short enough that I get two manicures out of a box and I can get them for half retail on Amazon, which works out to $2.50 for a week or so of nifty print nails. It's the only makeup I wear, I don't even own a single lipstick. But I look at my hands all the time, so as a touch of vanity this meets my needs just fine.

I really, really wish I could watch Hannibal - I did see the first episode and it was good, and I've read some of Cleolinda's recaps, and it looks like I'd dig it, but it also looks like it would trigger the fuck out of me. So I'm reluctantly giving it a miss. I did give in and get Netflix so I'd have a better chance of finding something to get immersed in.

Ugh, sorry that something potentially fun is also potentially triggery, but VERY SMART CALL giving it a pass! And good luck finding a new fandom!
