OKAY...I feel my movie itch has been scratched. I rented 6 movies yesterday evening (oh yes...I had coupons! only ended up paying for like 2 of them...nice), and so far we have watched 5 of them as follows:

HAPPY FEET....good movie and so funny!
THE HOLIDAY....oh my gosh...so good and romantic...I cried..
CHILDREN OF MEN....so thought-provoking..loved it..
PURSUIT OF HAPPYNESS....cried again...
BLOOD DIAMOND....can we just say LEO?
THE GOOD SHEPHERD...haven't watched it yet....tomorrow afternoon

It's been a couple weeks since we've rented movies because our DVD player has been acting kooky. But we got through them okay. It is now 11:59....one minute officially away from Easter. Looking forward to tomorrow. Church, then our family get-together. Lots of good food! I made 48 cupcakes today with pastel frosting on the white ones, and mocha frosting on the chocolate ones.....yummmm.

Time for bed.......

The wild night sky out my window facing the city. Saturday, September 26th // 2015 The sliding of days into the past, like taking a sip of water until you find the glass empty, have overtaken my thoughts this morning. Today and tomorrow. That's all I have left here in this space, this small slice of found moments that I have put myself in the past fortnight plus seven. Urgency, though, hasn't found me here. The tranquility of this breeze hitting my face every morning, allowing me to write freely, has afforded no trace of urgency. Authors will tell you that any time the words find you that they must be written. This is truth. They have found me every day as the sun rises to its zenith and the afternoon sear settles over the land calling for a quiet rest. I move from my window at that time and sit on the bed and finish for the day until it's time for the afternoon comida. I've not found the words in the evening, or even at night. It seems I need to res...

stop. victim. blaming.

Victim-blaming. Must. Stop .  Can't we see? Do you tell a girl that was raped that it was her fault?  Do you find ways to tell a dead boy it was his fault he was killed? Short skirts don't lead to rape - rapists do . Dabbling in drugs doesn't mean you deserve to die . Why are we picking apart a dead child's 17 year old behavior? To make us feel better? Do we say, " He was a hoodlum so his death is justified ?" No one deserves to die. No one deserves to be picked apart in death. No girl "asks" to be raped. We can't say the two are not the same kind of blaming.   Victim-blaming. Must. Stop .

Shaun Cassidy, Kenny Rogers, and my worn-out speakers

Shaun Cassidy, Kenny Rogers, and my worn-out speakers This question was posed by my daughter on Twitter yesterday and I decided to take the challenge: What song must you listen to every day without fail? I have long and varied playlists that run the gamut of many different genres: techno, house, old country, pop from the 70’s and 80’s, and metal. There’s a tab on Spotify, my platform of choice, that lets you see how often and who you play the most. I was sure what the top ones would be, but was semi-surprised as it went along. Call me eclectic, or just weird, because I won’t be offended:       1)    Shaun Cassidy: I make no apologies because he has been my favorite ever since he belted out “Da Doo Ron Ron” and “Hey Deanie.” He was also Joe Hardy on The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries in the late 70’s and that sealed the deal. I was an obsessed reader of the Hardy Boys books, and he came to life for me on that show. I had every one of his albu...
