Bury Me Monday

This morning I woke up to a paw smack to my face, I have a slight scratch over my lip as evidence. My cat Pandora was impatient for me to wake up. She made it a point to wake me up. And after her vet visit on Saturday morning, she was still “getting me back.” After I fed her at some ungodly hour, I went back to bed. I was in the in-between state of sleeping and waking and I just really didn’t want to get up to go to work. The shades were drawn and my bed was warm and I just wanted to bury myself under my duvet.

On Saturday, I managed to meet my sister to see the movie, Stoker. It was intense but really well done. Mia Wasikowska is amazing in it. This young woman is captivating. I loved her as Helen in Albert Nobbs, she was haunting in Jane Eyre, and now as India Stoker…well she gave me creepy chills. There is something unsettling about her steady gaze. I have yet to see her in Alice in Wonderland with Johnny Depp. Nicole Kidman and Matthew Goode are both eerily disturbing as well and you can’t help watch the story unfold. Stoker is definitely worth seeing.

I’ve also finished reading Jonathan Carroll’s Sleeping in Flames this morning. Oh man, his writing is delicious. He has this passage on love that I want to share but I’ve been having a hell of time finding it again. I keep looking for the passage and I must skim right by them over and over again because I've come up empty. When I do, I’ll copy it line by line and put it up on this blog as a separate entry. Reading his work, makes me want to write more stories. His work inspires me to better at my craft. I’ve only just begun. Must read more by him.
Peace,
