although today is actually rather nice and this summer isn’t as hot as some in the past few years, it is still my worst time. i just despise that greasy sweat between my shoulder blades that refuses to evaporate, especially when even the office is stuffy. and my studio is the hottest place in the house. yesterday i was a witch. also about other things, besides heat, that i just won’t go into right now. it has all been rehashed many times. no changes in sight. still plodding in circles.
but i *was* cheered up last night. we went to liberty hall to see Once. omigod. it was the best film i have seen in a long time. betsy played some of the music on our roadtrip and although i liked it, sometimes it takes more than one time for music to sink in with me. she warned that the film would probably not come to our town, as it was *so* indie. but it did, and it was 2-for-1 night, so we walked down after dinner. i was rather afraid my poet would not like it, because he sometimes does not like things that i do, but it was impossible to NOT like. it was just so fresh and GOOD. sometimes i have anxieties when watching films, waiting for something sad/bad/awful to happen, and i despise the way many films manipulate emotion and response with big dramatic scenarios, but none of this here. it was gentle and authentic. and the music was FINE.
i used to fuss a little about the girls gobbing up my laptop with downloaded music, but the reality is that i miss it a LOT. i loved being introduced to new music from them. one of the best parts of hanging out with them in Texas was listening to the CD’s they burned to ride around with.
that zinnia came from my garden. they are not the big puffy ones that i love to make pictures of, but they are still pretty good. some oddish colors.
i can’t wait to wear fleece again.
