I had no idea this was possible. It checks out as true on Snopes. I am AMAZED. Speechless really. I'm pretty sure you can say you saw it here first. LOL Watch...

Wow, the weight of Heath Ledger's death sometimes still sneaks up on me. It is really odd that a celebrity's death would have much, if any, practical effect on me.

I suspect the weight I really feel is his character in Brokeback Mountain moving me again. His incredible work on that film alone... is profound enough to be worth my pause.

I can't do it in person, so consider this my thanks.

Ohhhhh wow... I am tired and ugh beyond belief today. I now question my decision to drink several ounces of tequila on a Thursday night.

(The last several Thursdays to come around have felt like Fridays to me. Am I the only one experiencing this?)

I did have a good time though. Guess I must still have that reckless gene in me somewhere.

Sitting, listening to Leslie Feist croonin', air-conditioning off in my apartment, cooked some dinner a bit ago, still kind of hot, waiting on some cool air to come in tonight...

Last night I finished this for mí madré. (I know it's out of season.) She wanted something with the American flag, and her favorite thing in the whole wide world: a cute snowman.



Snowman for Mom

I graduated from college in 2002, and thus have had 5 years since the last time I was in school. So why do I still feel that familiar push (without fail) at the beginning of this month? It's known for being a time of year I begin a lot of projects, or so I've noticed.

At the beginning of last month I started going for morning walks with my gal pal Sally on Tuesdays, Thursdays and now Fridays. I am to the point where I look forward to them as days I know I will feel great. When I walk in the morning it makes the whole rest of the day easier and I feel way more centered. They make me feel great.

I am also going to be bowling every Wednesday evening, starting this week. I joined a very casual league with my friend Kim and I am really excited to start! It will be good to play and a good time.

I am looking forward to fall and it feels all the closer now that it's September.

I took a cat nap the other day and up popped the idea for a self portrait... so I went for it. I've been saying a lot that this year seems very "purple" to me. I don't know what that means, but I think purple is a beautiful color.

So, I come back to LJ again after a year(?) away.  No lyin', I do miss reading some friends' journals.  I figure, what do I have to lose?

Lots has changed with me, how about you?  I hope everybody is well and I look forward to writing more soon. 

Have a nice day!
