Celeste and Jesse Forever

I know I am a year late with this but I finally saw the movie Celeste and Jesse Forever.

I absolutely LOVED this movie.  It was at times quirky but really smart in the way they handled a relationship breaking up.  Rashida Jones is EXCELLENT!! And I loved that she is a flawed human being in this movie.  Instead of a barbie cut-out who says all the right things and makes all the right moves.  There are these wonderful quiet moments that just break your heart. Anyway, if you haven't seen it...you have to check it out.
Sweet!  Enuf said.

Crazy Week

This past week has been challenging but for a change I've been able to keep sight of the silver lining. Monday I was told that my temp gig was going to end the next day, Tuesday.  Then Tuesday came and they asked me to stay for another month. Then this week Pandora was really sick.  Lots of vet visits, trying different meds to get her stabilized and sheer panic at seeing her so sick. At one point I thought I would have to put her down and then a total reversal. New meds, some steroids, stronger anti-nauseus pills and Pandora is almost back to her old self.  Stressful but relieved that she's doing better. There is more on the personal side but taking some time to sort it out.  Writing is non-existent since the week has been so crazed. Need some time to recharge.

Resolved.

It's Sunday. Summer has barely begun and the days are so hot, I barely move.  I woke up writing lines of poetry in my head this morning. Now, I am sitting in front of a fan willing some synapses to fire to work on my novel. Pandora is curled up next to my computer.  She keeps me company when she thinks I'm getting ready for a long writing jag. I'm not sure that's really going to happen.  I am restless. I can hear the washing machine going in the back room. And the woman that I'm seeing is coming back into town later today and she's going to want to talk. Perhaps. The bravado I felt last night has abandoned me. Oh dear. So I need to keep busy. At the very least, work on something to get my mind from turning traitor. She gave me a catalog of new music to listen to and I haven't touch them yet. I didn't want the music to influence my resolve.
Peace,
