per_soloWhat IS this feeling of doom? And why do I get it now and then?
Now there is no real answer for that...I used to just chalk it as "Weird feelings I get now and then", and maybe it's a form of...oh, crap, what is it where you feel paralyzed? Apprehenension? No, that's not quite it..almost like something is very, VERY wrong in my world, and I have no idea what it is. No matter how much I think, or debate, I can never quite put my finger on what it is.
Convention stuff is moving along..I still need to pick a night and go over to Jeff's, drink, and write a play script...but other than that, the plans for world domination are coming along.
Could it be reviews? Maybe..they've caused minor stomach flutters in the past, but really, my take on it this year is that, they are what they are. I think I've done good...I've passed half of what, for me, has been a somewhat terrifying test...so, I don't think I'm worried about that. Point, I'm actually looking FORWARD to going to training this year..and hoping that it takes place in Mishawaka again...something about going up there for a week was nice.
So, I have no real idea what it is that nags at me now and then...sometimes (like today), it's a feeling that is so deep in core, that I feel physically sick...the temptation to stay home and sleep today was great. Hell, maybe that means I need to stay home and catch up on sleep. Of course, if I stayed home, I'd likely lie on the couch, and catch up on TV that Savidya has loaned me...I've got one episode of Alias, and then about 16 episodes of Season 2 of Smallville that I've had for quite a while...
On another front...I've gotten back into Ebay..am using it to look for "Hardcover" or "Trade Paperbacks" of various comic books that I own...this serves more than just the collector side of me..I'm long done with the idea of collecting comics in order to "Have a full run" or some such like that..I've only ever really collected comics because I like the story. And, if the story starts failing, I'm usually gone. Well, I have several issues of several comics that are out in Trade now..and, the books last longer than the comics, and take up space on a bookshelf, as opposed to the 13 long boxes..or is it 14? Either way..than the oodles of individual issues I own..I think each long box holds about 300 comics. That's a SHIT LOAD of comics I own...I've already got 2 long boxes full of comics to try to get rid of. Now, finding a way to get rid of them..therein lies the problem. I'm keeping an eye on how much issues go for on Ebay, and that's REALLY pot luck. The trick is, with the majority of what I have to get rid of, selling them in sets might not work. And that's a whole other entry into LJ...the Fun that is trying to sell comics..in a WORST case, I'd take em to Half Price books, and just be done with it..scratch that..what I SHOULD do is take them to a gathering of friends, and let my friends have first crack, and see what they'd want to offer for such.
Let's see..done with that topic..what else. Oh, soundtracks. I'm absolutely despising the fact that "MI-5" has a soundtrack released in Britain (under its original name "spooks"), and there is no chance in hell of said soundtrack being released here in the states. If I wanted to spend $20 on the soundtrack, and another $10 to have it imported, I'd have no problem..but, hell, I have a hard enough time spending $15-20 on music HERE that I want, let alone..ugh. I know it's a soundtrack I'd love...I just wish there were a way to have someone HERE IN THE STATES release it.
Anyone else on my LJ friends list watching MI-5?
