i'm not feeling much like writing on facebook or twitter today. can't think of anything clever or interesting. whereas here,since i don't use my real name plus i can just babble,i feel more comfortable,for whatever it's worth.
i'm reading a book by one of my favorite writers named john leonard. he used to do book reviews in the new yorker. his prose is definitely adrenaline-fueling and great for the cultural obsessive. the one i'm reading right now is called "smoke and mirrors" and it's about television. makes me want to watch tv. (though i do anyhow and it's damned expensive).
my favorite show right now is 'shaq vs.' because shaq really cracks me up. i'm following him on twitter...he's so witty.
other than that,i've filed with long term disability i paid for through work. also ssi and ssdi,but the latter decision won't happen for a long time,and i'm not optimistic. i just try to take it day by day and i'm living on my retirement money. which isn't much,because if it was,i wouldn't be eligible for ssi at all. i worked full time for most of thirty years,but only once was the job a well paid one,and that one had a lot of stress,so that didn't last long.
at the very least,i try not to get depressed about being depressed,if that makes sense. trying to make the best of my days.
