+ My lil' sis and I try to get to the movies as much as we can coordinate it. And she always wants to step into that creepy yet cool photo-booth thing. Last night we went and saw Sweeney Todd. And it got a big, bloody, singing thumbs up. If I weren't exhausted I'd catch up on all the holiday loot, family fun and details on the big, exciting job promotion, but I'll save it for the next day off. xo ( Tickets/PicsCollapse )
+ I gave my niece Gracie a "Stinky Doodle Monster" for Christmas. Supposedly it's a toy that can be drawn on with these smelly markers. Since she's always tracing the tattoos on my arm, I thought she'd like this cute little guy. Well, right after she opened it, she stared at it for a long time, called it "Ba-bay", squeezed it, and then started examining all of his, uh, parts. Well, after discovering first the poking-out tongue, she then turned him over where his little yellow tail sticks out of his bum. She ran out of the room with him, and we chased after her because obviously something startled her into a rush-to-action. And that's where our little story takes off...

( and the most important...Collapse )
+ The rain fell for a week straight it seemed. I welcomed the grey skies and chill that required anoraks and hot tea w/ creme. I would do well in some, let's say, Scottish village mid-November, walking a dog in the park or reading a good book on a park bench beneath some hibernating fountain statues. November makes me miss Austria and the other mazes I spent most of my twenties getting lost in. Arkansas, no doubt, has enough natural beauty left for me to get squint-eyed dazzled by, but I've been yearning to get away. If life were only as easy as it was in my twenties. If only I were still so daring. Thankfully, I suppose, I'm not.
+ My phone is on the fritz b/c I dropped it in a big wet puddle Friday night. Well, Saturday it started buzzing/vibrating for over an hour straight and then suddenly the screen went fuzzy blue. Unfortunately I don't have insurance on the thing, but I guess I'll figure that out. I'm not much of a phone person anyways (not knowing where it is half the time), so I don't expect any great loss on some grande social scheme. When I get paid I guess I'll look for a replacement, until then I'm in the dark who you are who's calling or can't watch the spinning little dreidel I downloaded last week. Surely it's a sign.
+ Not much else going on. My cat is on top of the computer glaring at me to feed him. I've got laundry and dishes, dirty, to do. And I'm sorting out flashbacks from a Halloween weekend that left me in the end wading a watery field for a mile to the closest gas station just to call a taxi to get home. I should behave for the rest of the year, if I know what's best for me. I guess the fool's moon from Friday played tricks on us all.
xo.
+ My tooth/no-tooth hurts. I will now have to go to the dentist, and that could be the beginning of the end. Ouchness.
+ Spent the day w/ my niece playing w/ the tee-ball and her showing me all of her little treats and tricks. Cuteness.
+ At tattoo dilemmas, seen so many images none of them make sense anymore. I am Flickr'd out, that's for sure. Frustratedness.
+ Decided for tomorrow's appointment: ant, yiddish/hebrew "heym", random stars, an acorn, a diamond, "dum vivimus..." & ?????. ?????-ness.
+ Re-entry into the myspace world wasn't so bad. I know, I know. I swore it off, but it seems a good way to keep in touch. Feel-free-ness.
+ Finally broke down and ordered new shoes after all of mine seemed to blow out one by one. Eagerness.
+ Haven't done anything socially in over a month, so it seems I might make a slight foray w/ my little sister & co. tomorrow. Something simple-ness.
That's it. <3
+ long time, no write. / a bunch of lowdown un-eventfuls, thank g-d.
