Typical jam packed weekend including going to a vodka freezer and wearing a big fake fur coat and trying Korean vodka, Polish vodka, Black Cherry infused vodka (highly recommended!!) and a dark chocolate orange vodka from CA that was like a tiny sip of desert. I had a martini first. The hangover was inevitable.

Sunday morning I drove out to Ventura to volunteer at a Triathlon which mostly involved me directly traffic for lost cars:) But we got to cheer on the last handful of racers and I have to admit to being inspired. The final competitor to cross the finish line had been paralized 6 years earlier, worked his way back up to competing. He did the full Olympic course, too. Made me want to start training for at least the swimming portion (although they swim in the ocean, all slicked up like seals and that terrifies me). I'm also thinking of training to run a 5K, but currently, I can barely run a mile. I'm not sure I'll ever work up to running 3!!

When I told [livejournal.com profile] crankygrrl that I was volunteering for this, she burst out laughing. Kath, I believe, imagines me sitting around all sparkly and glittery eating bonbons and ordering around my cabana boys. Oh that this were true.

It has, however, given rise to a lot of thought about how we were raised to perceive ourselves, how we categorize ourselves and others, and how we take those categorizations and translate them into the texts we take in and the texts we create.

More thoughts on Input and Output )

Oh, and I continue to watch Hex, and yet...each episode could be about 20 minutes shorter. There are vast scenes of Cassie looking longing and morose where NOTHING AT ALL happens. Oy.
