Simple pleasures for today

[thrihyrne]

~ a massage at the East/West college. $25. High-caliber students. Today's student had looked at my history and I may, when I once again have health care (next month), find a primary care physician and ask her/him to check out my spine. I've always had a sticky-outy spine, but there's one knob at the bottom of my ribs that may be somehow out of whack. It could possibly explain the odd pain in my sitbones that I've had since last fall. Hmmmm.
~ the fact that my birthday card to matildabishop got to her not only on time, but on the day. My guessing of the post from Oregon to Birmingham, U.K. was actually right!
~ continuing to love my driving time because I'm listening to Lord John and the Private Matter by Diana Gabaldon. elfscribe5 told me of it because (squee!!!) she's writing fanfic for it. I must admit I'm not a huge fan of Outlander, but this book I adore. The protagonist's inner monologues are funny, and the author's turns of phrase and witticisms are often literally laugh out loud. I really enjoy experiencing books as books on tape. I know I've waxed poetic about how the version on Recorded Books narrated by Aviva Skell is the way I've experienced that novel, twice now.
~ watching the pilot for Caprica, the prequel to BSG, featuring Eric Stoltz. I'd enjoy it anyway, as it's a quasi-BSG fix, but… Eric Stoltz. Eric Stoltz. Yes, I'm happy. :)

Writing's going well; will probably indulge in a lot of that tomorrow morning before going to work. And be on the heating pad tonight— my therapist, per request, did some very deep tissue work. Happy Wednesday to you all!

Ah, another BSG enthusiast. I have noticed a "Caprica" DVD on the store shelves and am wondering -- is that just the pilot? Is there more coming?

Eric Stoltz -- MASK, right? I recently saw him in a little-known and underrated indie feature called THE LATHER EFFECT, kind of a BIG CHILL for the 00's (starts with an 80's nostalgia party). If you're way into Stoltz, check it out.

Yes, that's the pilot that's out on DVD (or via other means, wink wink). I do believe that they're committing to at least one season, maybe two... not entirely sure. I've not heard of The Lather Effect, so thanks for mentioning it! I'll add it to my to-see list. :D
