part of my cultural DNA :-)

just watched the 'Ally McBeal' pilot — wow, that brings me back a million years!  (well, maybe fourteen.)  for the time, it was a hell of a show; even now, it's a lot better than most of what's new on TV.  who cares if i'm just a sucker for Calista Flockhart (and the rest); it's part of my cultural DNA now.

so be it.  on to the next episode.

:-)

shell-shocked

feeling a little shell-shocked.  watched 'Field of Dreams' just now.  haven't seen it in more than twenty years.  probably didn't think much of it then; guess i was more concerned with the woman i went to see it with.  these days my perspective on hearing "the voice" makes the movie seem very sad.  i wish it didn't hurt so much sometimes, life.  feels like i'll be in mourning forever.

mmm . . . massage for a new year

have taken refuge in Savoury Lane (since Sweet Bites is now verboten for me), and the atmosphere here is SO much more peaceful and calm.  the only thing i have to remember is to bring a chair-pad next time.  (and the music is so much better here, too.)

and being at Savoury Lane gets me in the mood to give a good massage to someone.

feels great to be putting out joyful energy into the universe again!

new year

wondering what to resolve for the new year . . .

to be more mindful of choosing to do things which help people and also help the planet.

to spend less time worrying about life and more time living.

to find love again.  (you know what i mean.  :-)

what are you thinking about for the new year?

Snowing, s-n-o-w-i-n-g, s-n--o---w----i-----n------g

wow, a wintery blast out there.  went out for a walk and was glad i hadn't waited till later — it was already pretty bad.  looks a lot better from behind my front windows.  (and some wine and a Star Trek Voyager episode help, too.)

came across a treasure-trove of ebooks today — four thousand seven hundred twelve, to be exact — but had more difficulty finding a way to read them.  (they're in a .mobi format, and Macs aren't the best for free readers.)  but i found some freeware called calibre that did the trick.

heh, just what i need — more books.  :-)

bravo Congress! DADT repealed!

Whoo Hoo!  the U.S. Senate has voted to end the 'Don't Ask; Don't Tell' policy in the military!  (the House has already approved such a measure.)

hooray progress!

rainy sun day

tears are still drying from watching 'Leap Year'; better than yesterday after 'Kissing Jessica Stein' since by it i'm not driven towards being a lesbian (which you *know* i'd have trouble with).  makes me want to go to Ireland, though, and that has its own level of sadness.  at least i still feel alive, crying or no.


much love to all the mates.


happy days,
