Let The Music Do The Talking

I've been up to alot lately. I joined Parents Without Partners. Saturday was our Christmas party. Last Sunday I went and saw the Nutcraker for the first time. It was beautiful.
Work has been alot easier this year. I'm only a couple of blocks from home and so I can get there in no time.
My little one is doing well. She's in the Challenge group for math because she scores so high in that subject. That fact amazes me since math was my worst subject in Elementry school. She must have gotten those skills from her Gramps. Speaking of, my dad fell 14 feet off a ladder in Sept and broke his tailbone. He's doing better now, tells everyone he broke his butt.
I'm currently on vacation from work. Saturday I'm flying out to pick up my little one and then we are going to spend time with Granna and Gramps. I got my little one a Disney Mix Max player for Christmas. I think it's really neat, except they need to make a car charger for it. I'm thinking the ipod one might work though.
My secret santa at work gave me a $20 mall gift certificate. I used it to buy "Night in the Ruts" and "Done with Mirrors" on vinyl at Krazy Days! I love records. There's just something about them. Part of it is the amazing cover art.
Last night I went to the $1.00 theater and saw "The Illusionist". I thought it was fantastic. On Friday I'm thinking of going to see "The Prestige" which will be at the $1.00 theater then. It's supose to be really good.

Eragon

I just went to see the movie Eragon. I was really looking forward to it since I really enjoyed the book. The movie was horrible. After many years of reading books and watching the movie based on the book I expect some butchery. After all there is only so much you can do with a movie in the time aloted. This was worse. They made Arya human. They made Murtagh too jolly and all ready to go to the Varden. They made Tronjheim an outdoor camp. Don't waste your money on this, read the book instead.

...

Well apparently even when things are going on I don't sit down and write. October 1st I saw Queensrÿche. They did the entire concept albums Mindcrime 1 & 2. It was great. We had front row tickets. The only bad thing is that at the end they came out for an encore and other fans pushed their way forward, a fight started and it was not fun.
On the 6th of the month I went to the Barley Room with Tracy and her parents without partners group. We had a lot of fun. The Barley Room makes a great Jack and Coke.
Last night I went and saw Superman Returns at the dollar theater. I enjoyed it but I felt like I was missing a lot of key points. I never saw the Christopher Reeves Superman movies. Well, bits and pieces, but never the whole thing. Myroommatee says it picks up where Superman 2 left off and ignores 3 and 4. So I think I may have to watch them and see what I think. The moviedefiantlyy left the ability for asequell.
Yesterday I finally went to the doctor about my asthma being out of control. She reminded me that I really needed to be more careful as some people have dropped dead from asthma. I am now taking both Advair and Singulair. The worst thing about this is that my co-pay for these prescriptions comes out to $70 a month.
Monday my brother is going to get atattooo of our family coat of arms on his back.
Yesterday I found out that my 24 year old cousin had to have an ovary removed and her tubes tied due to cancer. They said it would be too dangerous for her to have more children.

The punishment sometimes

I'm blocked. Since May I've written six posts, mostly filled with incosequencial nonsense. Everything I've even thought of writing down has seemd trite and repeative. I've thought about scrapping this whole thing and starting over, but what's the point? Would a new format really help? I'm not just blocked here, I'm blocked everywhere. I haven't been able to think up so much as a line of poetry. My conversations have bored me to tears. I don't know how to break out of this cell. I don't know anything to do, but to keep on trying and to say I am blocked.

It's time to Crash

Where have I been? Lost in a land of broken computers and dial-up. My parents not only live in the border country they live in a whole other world. My summer has been wonderful despite this lack of writing. I went to Wyoming after I picked up my little one, to see my sister. We all went up to Yellowstone. That's just a beautiful place. My phone however didn't work in all of WY and CO. Then we brought my niece and nephew down for 4 weeks. Now I'm sitting here at Luna's computer because of a completely lack of sleep last night wondering if I'm making any sense at all. Who needs sleep? Sleep is for the weak. The funny thing about being totally out of touch in WY and CO was that it cause C. to leave his first ever voice mail message.
I have one more week until my little one goes back to NY. The summer has flown by. Tuesday I have CPR class and Thursday is my first official day back at work. I don't have much to say all things considered.

Is such a sweet place to be

I know I don't write. Something about the summer heat. I just wander around aimlessly thinking I should write, but I don't.
This weekend my little brother was here. We did a lot of drinking. Had dinner at the Chama River Brewery, Pelican's, and some little Italian bar. We went to the movies and saw "The Omen". That was an awesome move. Terrifing without being gory. I've never seen the original but little brother says it holds up.
He bought "Greenstreet Hooligans" and "Sin City". Both are amazing movies that I now must own. "Greenstreet Hooligans" is about a Yank that gets involved with the West Ham firm through his sister's brother-in-law. To me it was an inspiring story of a guy learning how to be a man. "Sin City" we watched a chapter at a time. He bought the remastered recut edition. Why no one had told me about this amazing peice of work earlier I don't know. I found it highly reminecent of my favorite author Micky Spillane and of Raymond Chandler. I must start buying these books. I need those movies.
Little brother introduced me to a few new whiskeys, I like Jameson, Manhattans, and a couple of wines (I hate wine! I'm a whiskey girl!). He had brought a friend of his along so we had a DD the whole time.
Then the little dear sprayed my apartment for bugs. Yep I had bugs in my bathroom. Yuck. I could have taken care of it myself, but he offered.
Now on Friday I'm flying to Buffalo to pick up my little one. Two months of fun in the sun! Monday we are heading to WY to visit my big sister and then after about a week of that we'll head down to Deming to hang with my parents.

sometimes the things you see they just ain't so

I'm on Summer Vacation. It started at 3:00pm May 19th and will continue until August 21st. You'd think I'd write more with all this extra time on my hands, but I haven't been inspired and so there it is. Tomarrow morning I'm going to a training class to be a poll worker for the June 6th primary elections. Last weekend I went to see the DIA versus the Ho-bots game (Duke City Roller Derby). Today I went by Free Radicals and picked up three Derby pins.
I discovered that you can read all the vanity cards from the end of Dharma and Greg episodes here.
My apartment is clean thanks to a new vaccum and a pet hair removal tool.
I have been keeping random hours since I don't have to be anywhere at any time. It's been nice. In three weeks my adorable baby brother is coming to visit and take me out drinking. In four weeks I will be flying to Buffalo to pick up my little one. The Monday after that we are accompaning my parents and the two youngest sibs to Wyoming to see my older sister. Then when we come back to NM I will most likely be spending the rest of my vacation in Deming with the family.
With all this free time on my hands I've been watching reruns of tv shows I liked back in the day. One of my favorites, Boy Meets World, explains a lot about my expectations on love. I really wanted one of those we've loved each other forever romances. I wanted to have the whole "Cory and Topanga" thing. Crazy, no? I think that's why I have a hard time truely moving on and looking for someone new in my life. It's easier to fall back on the old stand-by's that I know will break my heart over again, than to give up on that crazy wish and be open to new love. At twenty-nine I think I'm getting too old for that highschool crush wish. I need someone more mature. I need a love I've never had before. In this one aspect I think I really do need to grow up.
However, speaking of highschool, check out Silk Vault and the writings of my old chum, Dyana.
