Random Updates

1. One year ago today:

I was just getting over a sickitude, was finishing up my MA essay, and was still getting used to the weird dreams my headache drugs give me. I watched Milk recently, and when he turns around and sees the gun pointed at him, I kind of knew how he felt--because of that crazy dream where I died! (Great movie, by the way.)

2. Here's the facebook moods I was in a year ago. Hey... I stopped updating moods when facebook changed. Doh! I liked Moods. It was fun to look back on. I'll have to start again.



3. Just caught up on the blog I often read, of that woman who lives half in San Fran, and half in London. I used to call her That Woman Who's Living My Life! (because of the whole London thing) ... except for the fact that she doesn't have cats. Well now it seems she and her husband have separated and are divorcing. Sadness! She seemed very attached to him, but who knows what the reasons are. I think they were together a long time, so that's gotta be tough--though she seems to be doing well. She's learned how to pump her own gas for the first time in her life! Yay! It's almost an Anne Murray video.

So I really can't be jealous anymore. I don't mean her life is Terrible Because She Is Husbandless... I just mean, I'm glad I've got my cats and my particular husband. The Fernando, the Nombly, the Bones, the Halzebub: They all have to stay, I'm afraid. I couldn't even give them up for London, going out to restaurants and the theatre every night, and a fabulous house on the side of a gorgeous mountain outside San Fran.

4. Speaking of San Fran: I've decided not to go this summer. At the earliest Stepmommy & I will go in the fall, when the weather is supposed to be at its best. But we might go next year. Thing is, I haven't gotten back to plotting my San Fran novel and I don't want to go too early, then miss researching something I needed to know. So... no rush. My savings aren't going anywhere. Er um hopefully.

5. Watched Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist tonight--great little romance. I'm glad I married a man who loves romance movies. (Unfortunately for him he didn't marry someone who wants to watch endless episodes of Star Trek and Stargate. Better set him up with the newly single blog woman.)

Off to bed now. I've been trying to keep proper bedtime hours, even on my days off, but this weekend I failed. FAIL!

Sleep that knits up the raveled sleave of care,
The death of each day's life,
sore labor's bath,
Balm of hurt minds,
great nature's second course,
Chief nourisher in life's feast.

-- I've always loved this quote from Macbeth

Nick and Norah! Loved it! Even though they didn't let Michael Cera be his funniest self. He was kind of more the straight guy. But it was still such a sweet flick, and I liked it more the second time I watched it. I liked the whole looking for fluffy plotline and the fact that it took place over the course of one night in NYC. It kind of gave me a the-world-is-full-of-possibilities feeling.

Fave lines:
"Is that a turkey sandwich?"
"...you fistful of assholes!"
"Bye Norah, I have to go follow Jesus now."
"I could floss with that girl."

hahaha! I'm laughing as I remember them!
