Updates:

2008- a year in review

still workin for the man
still workin on getting an MA in Media Lit
still want a dog that poops money
still want to travel.. all over
still reading silly books
still don't know if we are going to England for a year or where we will live in 6 months
still in love
still a sinner
still a saint

I was listening to my I-pod on random at work while I opened files for people that don't deserve a red cent for being slightly bruised in an accident but will get a pretty penny because they work the system the way Blagojevich worked the governorship.. ANYWHOO It landed on Bjork.. that wood nymph who sings sweet jams and I really liked the following lyrics of "It's Not Up to you" because well it never is up to us really and I like being reminded that everyone has a hard time mastering the 'perfect day' Enjoy. Talk back to you in a few (days months or years)

Björk It's not up to you Lyrics:
I wake up
And the day feels
Broken
I tilt my head
I'm trying to
get an angle
'Cause the evening
I've always longed for
It could still happen

How do I master
The perfect day
Six glasses of water
Seven phonecalls

If you leave it alone
It might just happen
Anyway

It's not up to you
Oh it never really was
It's not up to you
Oh it never really was
It's not up to you
Well it never really was
It's not up to you

If you wake up
And the day feels
Ah broken
Just lean into the crack
[ Find more Lyrics at www.mp3lyrics.org/vpY ]
(Just lean into
the crack)
And it will tremble
Ever so nicely
Notice
How it sparkles
Down there

I can decide
What I give
But it's not up to me
What I get given
Unthinkable surprises
About to happen
But what they are

It's not up to you
Well it never really was
It's not up to you
Oh it never really was
It's not up to you
Oh it never really was
It's not up to you
Oh, me, share
It's not up to you
It's not up to you
Oh, it never really was
It's not up to you
Well, it never really was
It's not up to you
It's not up to you
It's not up to you
It's not up to you

There's too much
Clinging
To peak
There's too much
Pressure

this is the best

Podcasts save my life

especially the ricky Gervais show.

A little afternoon break from the law

I'm listening to Closing Time (by Mr Waits). I have tended to do so off and on for the last 6 or so years. It always feels like I'm cuddling up in a warm blanket yet simultaneously sitting at an old pub drinking a dark stout. It's sweet and comforting.

In other news I miss my friends and family. I miss the ocean and the favorable weather. I enjoy St Louis, but only as a tourist. I want to move home when and if we can. There is no Cha Cha lounge here :(

On a more positive note Happy Advent! God is with us. How often we forget so it's good to have a season to remember that sweet and comforting truth.

The Blogging ratio increases based on my boredom level at work. At C's it disappeared, no blogging aside from Commercial You tube posts, Good times. Then there was the wedding, honeymoon, move and subsequent job search. Busy busy busy. Now I'm stuck in temporary monotony working yet again as an admin assist thus the floodgates of blogdom doth flow, for the time being that is.
Hi.
to bad that within this state of mind that is monotony it's really hard to pull the imagination or creative juices out of the old arse and since my other loverly married blog covers what I do in my fun life (outside of work)I'm a little stumped. Hmm.

Bike riding- I'm into it. D and I biked around the whole of Forest Park. It's amazing to be able to feel safe while biking. That was never the case when I fixed up the Old German Krompet bike i inherited from an old roommate. That thing was a bitch to ride in Silverlake with all it's hills and aggressive drivers. Forest Park is magical. I swear I saw a leprechaun.

My love for sparkling water has reached an all new high. It's great I would drink five bottle of Pelligrino everyday if I had the cash. A little lime and it too is magical.

I have a few video ideas. I have a lot of footage of sea animals from the Frankfurt and San Deigo zoos. I need to do something with it. What I did do I did not like.

I want to take a few classes. I want to learn all the programs in the Adobe Suite package so good I can make flyer's and web sites and well a book with pictures!

I would like to take interpretive dance.

I want to learn the pan flute.

I want a dog that magically poops money and that never gets sick and is free to own.\


Time will tell if i get everything I want. Amen.

Meet us in St Louie

A few weeks after the wedding we pack our bags and head out on a big adventure involving Greek/Hebrew, arches, cheap micro brews, chocolate martinis, cheap rent, grad school, crazy German Lutherans and love (ahh)

Good mind. I hope he found truth concretely at the end.
