abort, retry, fail?

i'm caught between a rather upbeat set of mental chemicals at the moment (although i slept too long last night and my eyes are kinda gummy) and a couple of valid real-life causes for depression that i can't do anything about.  so the sun is out at LAST after what has been a very long week, my mind is alert and pretty calm, but i can't stop thinking about these things that distress me.  when i feel like this, they make me more frustrated than sad. 

but it's better than feeling depressed for no reason.

and also, we could really use a dust-buster.

ps: i've been reading picard/q fic again and thinking about how none of it ever manages to be totally believable. a lot of fun IMO, but never entirely convincing. why do you think that is?

hmm, i haven't tried lists much lately. maybe that would help.

thanks for that and the rec--i'll save it for when i have a chunk of time all at once. or maybe i'll start right now

as for q's attitude to picard, maybe i can buy the nice pet dog thing, but the checkers--it just doesn't make sense. because he acts like he's contemptuous and bored, but he keeps coming back and ... *engaging* with them. it's so weird for an omnipotent entity to come to care about what happens to them, or at least picard (which he seems to do). ...my point is there's plenty of grounds for a slashy hypothesis there, but nobody bothers to hang on to characterisation. i mean, you could (theoretically) strand q without his powers or his memory without also turning him into a limp noodle. or a weepy *girl*.
