Full circle

You ever find yourself just kind of sitting in a funk and not really sure why? I did this morning. I had a few little reasons that would normally make me fret for a little bit but not even strung together could I figure out why I was feeling so weird about things, aside from maybe the fight of trying not to feel weird making things worse but still.
In any case, I went to the bookcase of It Came From The 80's, grabbed a random book that I don't think I've read before (whoo!) and some ice-cream and flopped on my bed where the cat moseyed on over. I felt better than I have in awhile, actually. My headache disappeared, my stress levels went poof, and I didn't want to cry over the stupidest things. It was pretty nice. And then I fell asleep and that helped, too.

This means I can focus on the stuff I'm actually excited about. Well, some of it anyway. Like the fact that there's a a lot of interesting TV coming down the pike, and I hope none of it pulls a Fearless TV show and disappears, never to be seen again.

I teared up watching the Supergirl trailer. Legitimately got that same feeling I used to get when I was little and it was movie time and I got to pick the movie. I'm really hopeful for this show. Probably because I watched the movie a thousand and one times as a kid. I suspect that sometimes my mother would call ahead and have them hide the video so that I'd have to choose something else. (Joke's on you, Mom, because then I'd go with Rainbow Brite!) If not, she probably should have for her own sanity. :p

Then there's Angel From Hell which is unfortunately named, but I dig Jane Lynch being funny and I will follow Maggie Lawson just about anywhere.

Scream Queens is basically Cass and me bait, only it's on Fox. But it's Ryan Murphy so it should be good for a season and then just go off the rails so I don't need to worry about the Fox curse.

And I feel like I've been waiting FOREVER for The Astronaut Wives Club, which is coming in June. I'd link any of the promos (all two?) I've found but they aren't exactly selling it and I suspect I'll like the show but not the promos. Which is better than loving the promos and hating the show. I read the book and JoAnna Garcia is another actress I follow, but not as blindly as say, Maggie Lawson.

I haven't looked much beyond these (some shows just don't interest me) but there's always later. It's weird, I don't really remember past upfronts having their promos online other than stuff that was leaked, but maybe I just didn't care enough in the last few years? ABC's How To Get A Win With ABC is both fantastic and awfully cheesy at the same time. It's no WB Upfront (I love that every year people lament the loss of those) but actually ABC Family managed one that's closer to that kind of feel.


Went back and watched a few. Ha, Chuck and Nate from Gossip Girl both have ABC shows coming. Wicked City and Oil respectively. They both look like things I'll pass on, but could be good, maybe. Quantico looks interesting, though.


Yesterday was Widget's birthday. I'd originally planned on taking him down to the pool after school before he went to the Riverdogs game with his father but a) the cat scratched the hell out of my leg so walking is an adventure and b) he chose to head on down to Walmart and look at stuff. So we did that instead. Turns out we would have had time to do both, but if I'd just assumed that, we wouldn't have. I'm pretty sure everyone has at least one person who is forever late to everything? If not, you might BE that person.

While there, we swung by the toys to see if they had the exclusives from EAH or MH for z. No dice. :( But Widget found a fishing rod that he wanted, so I bought that only to find out later that he's got about eight. :P But considering how many lip glosses I own, I really can't say much.

He ran in to the McDonalds to order his own food because he is so totally old enough to do that, sheesh, don't you know? And promptly forgot to ask them to leave the onions off. Been there, kid. Been there.
Gifts were given, he packed for his camping trip, and then went off to see the game. Came home, was unhappy that the evening had ended, we had cake, I passed out only to wake up at 4am and in a funk that was not helped by the checking of FB, where I found my brother had left a glowing comment to Widget's other aunt about how much the Widge loves her and how awesome she is and... yeah. She is and he does and I can admit my jealousy that she is pretty awesome and my jealousy over the fact that for frick's sake, I get the joys of helping to raise the kid with less than zero input into anything but do I get any love? No. Sigh.

Which probably added to the funk and the dog will likely back this up as I vented on our walk at o'dark thirty.

And now we're full circle because then it was kill some more time, sink more into a funk, and then reading time.
