Just got back from the movies. I went to see the Triplets of Bellville. It's french animation. Very cool. The movie itself is a bit long and there is next to no dialog -- I guess you'd say it's more of an "art" flick. But I enjoyed it. I'm into that kind of stuff. The other cool thing is that before the movie started there...

I am finally home and happy to have the funeral over with. I also some how picked up a nasty cold too while I was visiting my family to top off a wonderful week. I think tonight I'll be cuddling up to a beer (or two or three) and watching movies on the couch. Seems to be how my weekends are ending up these days.

I hear beer can cure colds, and even it it doesn't who cares.

Pyrate makes an excellent point. You just can't argue with facts like that.
I hope the funeral helped you feel better. Being surrounded by other people who also feel what you're feeling really helps. That time to just cry, feel sad, acknowledge the love you feel, and feel the love from the people who are there with you ... it's all really beautiful when you think about it. And then there's the party afterwards ... I like those better than wedding receptions!
I almost went to see Triplets of Belleville last weekend, and now I wish I had. It's gone.
Instead I went to see The Butterfly Effect so I could do a movie review for the hometown paper. That's one of the fun things I get to do out here.

ick...more snow and more shoveling for me. you know, i wouldn't mind so much if i didn't live in the city, but i'm starting to run out of places to throw the stuff and can barely get in my garage because they seem to have stopped plowing the alleys.
i will probably be spending another day with my parents and venturing home tomorrow morning. i'm...

they havent plowed my neighborhood in at least 2 weeks...lame...forget shoveling, go get tattoed!
The funeral is over. It was good to see my family but extremely difficult. My mom is really broken up for obvious reasons. She woke me up this morning, standing by my bed in tears with her hand stretched out. I took the box in her hand and it was my grandfather's mother's wedding ring. She said "he always asked me when he would see...

Well, I hope you take Friday off. If I was there, I'd take you someplace kinda quiet, buy you a beer, and another, and another.
Try to spend tomorrow with people who love you and will treat you like the Goddess that you are.

sorry to hear about your grandpa. All grandparents love to see their grandchildren do well for them selves. All you got to is keep on keeping on, and if there is an after life I'm sure he smiles.
On a lighter note, inresponce to your question. I do, do stained glass I kind of just started, but I'm doing well. I've allways dabbled alittle in the arts. Now I'm working on some thisels, blue bells, and berries. take care, later

Drawn across the plainland
To the place that is higher
Drawn into the circle
That dances round the fire
We spit into our hands
And breathe across the palms
Raising them up high
Help open to the sun

I adore Calexico...Feast of Wire. It'll get me through the day nicely.
It's like a heat wave here. I'm sitting in my office overlooking Lake Michigan with my window open. I think it's a combination of slightly warmer temps and the fact that my heat is cranked up to the max and I'm wearing a wool sweater. It's nice to enjoy the fresh air either...

No, saturday won't be our first show, but it's pretty close. Should be interesting.
Sucks about the funeral... stuff like that is always hard. It also seems like western cultures tend to have far darker funeral traditions than their eastern counterparts.
You're right, though; living in the present is the truly hard thing to achieve in this lifetime. Hope tomorrow goes well for you.

i never knew one of my grandfathers...he died years before i was born. the second died when he was in his late 70s and i was in my early 20s. he was sick and hospitalized for a couple weeks and i never went and visited. complete denial that grandpa could possiby be leaving. i still wasn't accepting days later at the funeral.
sometime later i hit a rough spot in my own life, and turned to memories of grandpa. i realized then how much he had taught me, and the values he gave me. it was then that i missed him the most.
when people at the services sob, or when you do, remind them or yourself of the contributions he made to you and the family. say them out loud.
those things--the values and memories and things taught--live forever. it's not an abstract concept like grandpa in heaven--grandpa lives on in you and all he touched.
best to you...

I see a good applied kineseologist. He adjusts whatever is wrong with me. Last year for the first time in 20 years I had no seasonal allergies. He is also good with my neck and jaw issues.
I spent most of the day goofing around with my digital camera and ended up shooting some pretty cool photos of myself. So, I'm doing a crazy thing and sending 'em in for Missy to have a look-see. Dispite what happens, I had a blast acting silly for the camera and I like how the pictures turned out. If anything, I can look at the...

I did end up dragging my arse out into the cold last night to see Monster and it was well worth the effort. All I'm going to say is SEE IT.

Lavender is good ... the color is nice and the aroma is sooooo relaxing.
This sounds like a good week for you to wear some lavender oil.
Enjoy the game ... if you get too hammered and don't know who wins, then you'll be with the majority.

So the high here must have been like 1 degree today. I was hoping to go to a movie tonight (Monster) but I just know I'm going to get home and want to just curl up on the couch under my blankie.

Just got off work and finished shoveling out for the third time thiis week. This is getting old.

Hello stranger! I am sick of the snow too. LOL You are not alone in THAT.
So whats new?

snow shoveling is good honest work. why back in my day, we'd shovel extra driveways to make enough money to buy bags of pot and other necessities we needed to get through the winter. half the pot we smoked helped make the snow shoveling more bearable. that mean we could shovel more snow so we could buy more pot. it was a vicious cycle that didn't end until spring.
i don't think sex ruins relationships, unless people decide it's more than just a way to exchange fluids and gross out the family pet. but, i also follow the old rule ... lovers and cars come and go, friends are forever.
