I'm sad about Natasha Richardson. I liked her as an actress, I've always had a soft spot for those traditional brit styles of drama and theater, plus she was married to Liam Neeson for a dozen years and that is enviable to me. I mean, lessons about the fragility of life are all around, at all times, and this is the one that's getting me today. ( Read more... ) -
I can't go for being twice as nice.
I'm sitting on anjiyama's couch, wrapped in quilts made by her mom. Its overcast this morning and I'm cold, but that's also because I'm not really wearing any clothes, short of boxers and an a-frame. After a warm shower and getting dressed, I will be fine, the sun will come out, I'm going for a walk. I'm on the third trip in two months: first was Miami ( Read more... ) -
Hold a little soul

From the shelter of my mind, through the window of my eyes

I couldn't even finish listening to it, I ( Read more... ) -

These people's passion for "begging the question" supercedes mine for educating the world on the use/misuse of factoid. I am in love! -
You will sing his song, you'll carry on.
I'm sitting on the same couch in the same condo in South Beach as I did almost exactly a year ago. I'm enjoying the familiarity of the once-a-year novelty. Its not quite as warm this year, but I think its getting there -- yesterday it was around 70, today should get up to about 75 and tomorrow its 80. Mostly sunny, of course. (Sorry, Chicago ( Read more... ) -
Its a long way to heaven, but I gotta get there.
Today is too lovely to be denied. I slept in (though that's relative given that I went to bed at 2 am, so I still got the usual 6.5 hours of rest), then spent the morning taking care of some lagging Unemployment To-Do list items I'd been avoiding. I washed dishes for awhile, then, inspired by a chat with crafting_change, I gave my bike a sponge bath. I had ( Read more... )
