Rants and Raves

It's been snowing here ... just about everyday. It's finally winter and I've got the wind burn on my cheeks to show it.

Saw Volver and Babel this weekend. I very much enjoyed Volver - very much. Penelope Cruz was wonderful and beautiful. (Dan thought she was stunning.) Babel was good, but a bit of a bore. The deaf-mute Asian girl story was the most compelling part.

I scored Children of Men on bootleg and am dying to watch. Hopefully tonight ... ahh what wonderful dreams I should have.

Also, stayed up by myself Saturday night and sunk into Mysterious Skin with my favorite young actor Joseph Gordon-Leavitt. He plays a gay teenage prositute in Kansas that was molested as a child by his baseball coach. Fascinating movie.

Dan has been going to bed early and waking up early. It sucks. He's also different - I can't put my finger on it, but things are different between us. Maybe it's just me. I've been in a terrible mood lately.

I don't know if I've mentioned, but I'm done with my EMDR therapy. Almost 7 and a 1/2 months, and I've finally processed some of the trauma surrounding my mother's death. This whole process has been an unbelievable experience. It's been life saving for me.

So we spent a lot of the weekend planning our Puerto Rico visit in June/July for Emily and Rick's wedding and researching Buenos Aires for our summer vacation.

Signing off for now.

We had our first snow fall I think last Thurs or Fri - but it wasn't much of anything. Didn't even stick or stay round till the late afternoon. My first thought was of Ithaca - and how it had probably been snowing by you for a while. I just stared at it.. in a trance almost.. it was so beautiful.

Yah, this wkend I was out w/ Winston, and my whole face is like a tomato from the wind burn. Dry and tight feeling; I hear ya.

Good for you w/ the EMDR therapy. I'm very happy for you, and quite glad that it helps.
