Semper Fidelis

I am in bliss. Tired, fed to the gills, favorite-blue-pajamaed and comforte(re)d. This is the life.

Rewind and what have you? A pleasant morning :cleaning up, pottering abt the house and some errands. Then I set off for my performance. As usual, my slot was almost towards the end of the show. So I amused myself taking my time with costume/makeup, thinking abt this and that, fascinating the heck out of this 5 year old sitting one row ahead of me, and occasionally watching the other performances. Anyways, point being, I arrived home late in the evening and hungry as hell. (This always happens when I have dance recitals but I will never learn.) I then proceeded to plough (take that Spellcheck! I like my English the English way) my way through a la-aa-arge eggplant parmesan sandwich and fries. Hence the bliss. Hence the inability to breathe in a prone position. Hence the blog.

You never know what a day will teach you. Today, for instance, around 1.30 pm, I learned how to pick a lock. Well, not a fancy lock but some lock. I managed to lock myself out of my bathroom. As you can imagine, this presented a problem. Thankfully, there was hole in the door knob on my side (put there precisely for Einsteins like me) and resourcefully, I figured out how to unlock the door using that hole. It was pretty cool.

And so, with no further delay, to bed.

Metronome

I'm chasing after you in the gathering dusk, you're racing far ahead, fading into the sunset. Can't catch up to you, can't hold on to you, always looking back, wondering when I first lost you. And this sand in the hour glass, it's rushing fast. This river of continuum, it gushes past. The clock unwinds, the moon tugs the tides, while I'm caught in between what was and will be. So I'm letting go, I'm tired of the chase I'll find some peace in this moment's embrace. Just take my hand in yours, let's run to the daybreak and burst into this life, finally awake. Finis

fractious

It's been a good set of days. The week itself was fun, what with hanging out with folks on Wed - and before I forget, here's a shout out to "S" and "Y" for reading/pretending to read by blog and requesting to star in it ;-) - and watching "Up" the next day with the usual gang (awesome movie!). P was flying in on Friday and a few hours before his departure from O, it was decided that we would attempt to hike up Mt.Washington. As usual it was a slightly imbalanced plan. Late Friday night, I set out to pick him up from the hour-away airport. Somehow this turned into a road trip for 3 of my concerned friends. Suffice to say that there were bad jokes a plenty and some rather interesting conversation. Randomness abounds in my life. Anyways, it was around 2 am by the time we crashed and I actually managed to be up by 6.30 am the next morning. By 8.30 we were showered, breakfasted and packed and P was armed with enough stuff to survive a hurricane and live

lynchpin

It happened! The first celebrity sighting in a long long time. Obama and his daughters. They were at my place and I was figuring out their sleeping arrangements along with my brother and sis-in-law. OK, so you must know that this was in my dream. I must say it's one of the wackiest dreams I've ever had. I was stressing out last night on the whole iPhone vs Blackberry Storm before I went to bed and so it follows that early this morning I dreamt that Mr.O and his daughters were visiting me, my bro and my s-i-l. It was funny. There we were, 3 hosts and 3 guests and we had this one room where I was trying to arrange all the beds and sleeping bags so everyone could sleep comfortably. My sister in law was fretting about making sure every one was comfortered and my bro was a little sleepy and grumpy and I just wanted them all to settle down and go to sleep. The biggest problem somehow was where Aliana (that was his younger daughter's name in the dream) would sleep - not sure why.
