Rain snow rain snow snow snow snow rain rain snow ice ice ICE snow rain.
Welcome to Chicago!
I’m not going to lie and pretend that yesterday didn’t give me some hope that maybe, just maybe some day, we’re going to be okay.
This weekend was nice; lots to do it seemed, but nice. I stayed in Friday, went to a fine get-together on Saturday and Saturday night stayed in with my handsome man. Sunday, Sabrina and I made the mistake of going to see Vantage Point, almost offensive how bad that movie was.
I also found out this weekend John has never seen Carrie. NEVER SEEN CARRIE? Only one of the finest horror movies ever made! So that was quickly downloaded, but we haven’t checked it out yet. I know I love it, but I wonder, is it dated? Of course it is, its totally 70’s, but Piper Laurie is scary as poop no matter how you shake it, so, I think we’re still good to go.
I have my Eckhart Tolle “web event” tonight, I’m kind of excited! If you don’t know about this, Oprah is doing a free “class” with Tolle tonight, I had to download some media something or other, but I think it’s a great idea and honestly, I’m looking forward to going into my comfy bedroom -- leaving John free to play Assassin’s Creed on the big TV – and maybe learning something. And the great thing is, if I hate it, I can just turn it right off!
I was thinking last night of things I do that keep me “present”, and I could only think of two things: reading and exercising. If my mind starts to wander during either one of those things, starts to focus on something that has nothing to do with what I’m doing, I’m lost, I get confused and I lose my place. Those two things keep me grounded in the present and make it literally impossible for me to think about the past or the future. Just something to think about.
Oh, please to read our “he said/she said” on Chicagoist today. I like it.

not seeing Carrie is like not seeing the Shining. Don't stop at go just do the Shining (after The Wire of course).

dude. when it was all nicey-nice in january, i was able to totally enjoy, but not get all caught up in it, because it was totally JANUARY. but yeah, yesterday. i was a little taken with some hope. because the calendar DID say march, didn't it?
and it's so ridiculous, because starting in february people were trying to tell me that spring was coming, that it was almost over, and i was all "what crack world do you live in? it snows on my birthday! it snows in april! it is shitty in may!" but there i was, just like i always am, getting lost again with the first sign of melt.
(and ignoring how fucking ugly it all is at first.)
