I can't sleep!

Trust in me, just in me
Shut your eyes and trust in me
You can sleep safe and sound
Knowing I am around

Slip into silent slumber
Sail on a silver mist
Slowly and surely your senses
Will cease to resist

Trust in me, just in me
Shut your eyes and trust in me

- Won't Go Out

We are painting the first floor walls and ceilings. They are going from Salsa and Fried Banana to Eurolinen and Wild Porcini. It's all about the food colouring.

Christmas always comes so late here. It doesn't feel like Christmas until the last possible minute, maybe even right before you open presents. This holiday season will be definitely separated. A & A are off to Nicaville where Christmas just doesn't exist. My mum is going to Orlando. I'll be headed to Pennsylvania. Alkers will  be somewhere en route. It's all conflammeled.

Happy Channukah!

I voted yesterday at the library près de chez moi. The library also had a very nice book sale. For a dollar I bought Astrid Lindgren's Kalle Blomquist which is in German because it is the next language I will conquer. She's the author of the Pippi Longstocking series.

checked out from library:
The Collected Dorothy Parker
Three Plays - Lorca
La Femme Rompue - Simone de Beauvoir (french)
Ahi Paloma - Rosetta Loy (italian)
The LeRoi Jones/Amiri Baraka Reader

rented dvds:
The Human Stain
Shark Skin Man and Peach Hip Girl
Young Adam

I'm off to find a distressed sort white frame of provençal mirror to hang on my bedroom wall at perhaps an antique store or a flea market. Then to get some tomatoes at a farmer's market if they aren't all gone by now.

- My baby just cares for me

I saw this movie called All the Real Girls and it was perfect and beautiful and honest and almost everything I've ever wanted in watching a movie alone at night. I think if you tolerated Lost in Translation you'll like this because even though that's a sweet movie, things actually happen in this one.
