i love watching joan crawford films while i'm eating my captain crunch cereal. i love listening to mandy moore pop songs. i love my raspberry scented candle. i love sarah brightman singing in the evening after work. i love that my students feel like they can open up to me. i love eating buttermilk pancakes with butter and syrup on sunday morning. i love cracker jack. i love. i love. i love thinking about t.d. and then seeing him today in that beautiful blue striped shirt made me swoon. mandy sings: "i've got a crush on you .. i hope you feel, the way that i do . ."
i saw the french film "amelie" on saturday and my whole world tilted. what an utterly brilliant piece of cinema. truly, it is the story of courage and innovation in the faceof being erased. once again i see, everything in life matters. i love the idea of living life with whimsy and making connections happen between people . .i adored the way the filmmakers portrayed amelie's vulnerability. i loved how she lived inside her imagination. i understood her desire to connect and yet remain untouched. i understood her hunger for what was unconventional, overlooked, misunderstood. oh amelie . .are you like me? bravo to the filmmakers!
it's unlikely that i'll ever see jorge again. alright universe, why are you sending me these self-obsessed guys who can only talk about the most superficial topics. alright, the tango in the sheets was bliss, but if i can't hold a conversation with the guy, or my mind begins to wander, that's all the sign i need.
i need to connect with mary p. on a massage therapist. i need to think about what i'm going to do for my spring projects (stories, stories!) i need to get through this mercury retrograde without feeling like i'm going to implode. oh thoth . .deliver me!
