wheeee. my back was hurting so much today that I had to take a vicodin when I got home. I made coconut curry and now I am blissfully relaxed.

I'm currently reading Hayden Herrera's biography of Frida Kahlo, and it is just amazing. She was such a fascinating woman, I cannot put the book down. The portions dealing with her accident were painful to read, not just because it was such a horrible event, but because I identified so much with her. I too had a medical trauma at about the same age, also dealing with the spine. The long-term pain and repurcussions are nowhere NEAR what Frida's were, but I could still identify with the pain and loneliness and helplessness at that age. Her suffering was so immense, yet she was so vivacious and generous and beautiful. I aspire to be such a warm and giving person.

I think that we are going to a burlesque show tomorrow called apocalipstick or something like that? I have no idea, but the name is great.
