the sticker says let's stop arnold for our families
arnold just keeps pissing me off.
Laurel and Levy bravely in Africa.
Jasmine plant dies.
IRA to disarm.
Vicente Fox: what are you thinking?
These are the day's headlines.
Confession: I don't even read the paper when my husband the photojournalist
writes the articles... Sometimes he asks me to... but regularly, no.
but I did write an editorial once-its a little long.
if i don't respond to all comments. I think it minimizes the embarassment factor if you don't have to worry about chit chat all the time.
Grape soda will not quench even a weak thirst
You would do better to sit still and watch a good movie to take your mind off thirst entirely.
I'm just saying, is all.
In fact, I am finding that it takes a great deal of thinking to figure out what I want when I want something. And, do you think I could be the only person who has this problem?
My students are not like this. They give names to the things they want-and right away. (They are still pretty small.)
I am getting to be a slow chooser.
Sitting still, waiting for the answers to come, I've been watching a lot of good movies.
Of course, I'm supposed to be getting my writing done. Somehow writing turned into this horrible way to poke at my problems and make fun of them. But the way poetry works--hiding things, semantics blur and syntax breaks things apart--makes me a little too reliant on taking my time.
I am reading through, um, Robert Lowell... all the while telling myself I am working.
A blog is a consolation to my inside editor, and good practice at a bad habit... did you read Harriet the Spy? You have to at least go look at it. The book is such a heartbreak. Let me know what you think of amazon's new features. I haven't yet decided if I like it, especially when my computer wouldn't allow me to link you to the sneak peak page... which is really nice.
Jr. asked me what it is like to be married. I told him it is very funny. About 24 hours later I am sitting by the pool and martin shouts out I know what we can do later, and, chest deep in the pool he begins jumping from foot to foot, imitating Steve Zissou. But damn, does he think these things through? He has been saving this photo on his computer for years and I just found it. He happens to be a very intelligent person so, I am thinking, yes. And I think its very rare to find such a carefully callibrated love like his.
