“Twenty-four carat love. I think it’s easy to find the ingredients for love, but then it depends on how you mix them. There’s so much work involved…First you have to understand and accept. Then, you have to be best friends, always. Work on overcoming what they don’t like in you. Be bighearted when it’s so much easier to be small… Sometimes the spark for real love is there from the beginning. But too many people mistake that spark for a flame they think will last a long time. That’s why so many human fires go out. You have to work so hard at real love.”
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 was looking around for some new music and came across this artist – Emily King. OMG! Love, love, love her sound. I’ve uploaded a song from a live set at Rockwood Music Hall. I can’t stop listening to it.
Enjoy!

I write and I paint. Then I try to articulate some coherent thoughts about the creative process on this blog. In between those moments of producing work, I take photos, listen to groovy music, watch indie movies, read (a lot), go hear live music (preferably someone that rocks), go to the theater to see a new play from time to time, watch sci-fi movies, and continue to cultivate my curiosity. Then I write about that too.
