a million moderate march

[threeplusfire]

Sometimes, you make dinner and it turns out so tasty that you wind up eating right over the stove or standing at the kitchen counter. That's completely what I just did. Whole Foods had their Coho salmon on sale and I bought a little piece exactly the right size for me. Dust it with garlic salt and ginger, then broil until your preferred state of done. (Mine is somewhere just this side of Gollum's raw and wriggling.) To finish and make perfect, splash on some really nice raspberry vinaigrette. Eat standing beside the stove because it is so good all thoughts about carrying that plate anywhere leave you. Thankfully I was just cooking for myself, already had raspberry vinaigrette and so this was a cheap, easy meal. (Mike doesn't really like the oilier fish like salmon.)

Today I came out to my primary care doctor. It was nerve wracking, because he's a good doctor and having someone you trust dealing with your medicine and your body is such a thing. All my anxiety was for naught, as he's the same awesome dude he has always been and wants to keep being my doctor. He's going to help me find a good endocrinologist to handle the testosterone because he admits he's not very knowledgeable about how everything should happen for a gender transition.

Just finished reading Gender Outlaws: The Next Generation which has thoughtful and various stories. There were things that I knew and things that were unknown. It is good reading and well worth your time to pick up.

All the rain came down at once, right as Mike was leaving work. Oops. But the rain is nice. Except for the part where the backyard is a morass of creeping plants and our rosemary bush is out of control like some plant based Godzilla.

Dear John Stewart - I love you so much and wish I could come to your epic rally. I really do. I will have to be content to just see John Oliver at the Paramount in November. I will rally to restore sanity in spirit though.

I rarely have the urge to eat dinner right out of the oven, but when I do, it is invariably some salmon dish.

That and little roasted red potatoes. My friend Tyler had the ability to make the most perfect roasted potatoes with rosemary.

...you know, if there was a way to give you all the extra testosterone I have, I totally would.

I'm so glad it went well with your doctor. So incredibly glad.

ETA: Ooooooh, we could switch! Testosterone for estrogen!

[tsarina.livejournal.com]

Hahaha, we need a hormone exchange program. It would be awesome.

[halfacork.livejournal.com]

It would be!

I don't suppose you want to write me Eames/Arthur? Because I've wanted some desperately and I know yours would rock.

I'm actually working on some Inception fic RIGHT NOW...

Is there anything I can do to be encouraging, because I would totally do it (so long as it doesn't involve peanuts or actually cleaning my house!)

Tell my brain to stop writing things out of order! I started writing a story about one thing but of course it is really another thing and I'm tyring to sort it all back together.

I also crave tacos. I almost went chasing after a Korean taco truck the other day.

We have some excellent tacos! Though huh, I don't think they would still be very excellent if I mailed them to you.

Dear Anton's Brain:

Please let him write pretty words into pretty stories in the right order. Thank you!

That rally looks so awesome, doesn't it? If I lived on the East Coast I'd probably go!

[tsarina.livejournal.com]

I know, it kills me that we don't have the vacation time to go!

Forgive me if this is none of my business, but how does Mike feel about his wife becoming (for lack of a better term) a dude?
I'm not trying to be nosy or inappropriate, I'm just curious. If it's a difficult situation and you don't want to talk about it, that's fine.

[tsarina.livejournal.com]

Mike is completely supportive. We talk a lot about everything.
