this and that plus jaw pain
Dec. 5th, 2022 12:01 amSome very bad pain days lately, argh! My jaw is hurting a lot, possibly referred from my back, or it could be a sinus infection i suppose. Anyway, anyhoo, I made it to the dog park today with Abbie and Zoiks (who was here just for the day). It was sunny and we saw Marguerite, Mary P, and Jeff, dog park regulars.
Sometimes in the evenings Abbie pants and looks at me and whines like she wants something, but I can't ID what she wants. Which is slightly worrying. She is getting older and I hope she is OK.
I finished watching Sandman, which was slow and too gory, but overall I still liked it. I appreciated how there were a lot of queer characters.
I watched "Coming out Colton" on Netflix, a short "docu-soap" about a minor celebrity who, over the course of the series, comes out to his family, friends, and to the public. I'd never heard of this guy, because he was on "the Bachelor" and played football-- two things I have negative interest in. And yet I really enjoyed this show. I think I could watch a million stories about people coming out, it's so interesting. This guy has a lot of privilege but some of that is addressed in the show, and he's honest about having hurt people in the past and trying to become a better person. His family and best friends are really supportive. I guess not everyone sees "the Bachelor" as inherently exploitative and some people take it seriously? It's a wild world.
Some fun things I did this week:
We were running low on good quality SF/F books at books to prisoners, so I went to the thrift store and bought a bag for about 20 bucks.
I got together with a fannish friend who is also a neighbor, and we had a work party. She worked on a fic and I made subtitles for my festivid.
