Random Thoughts

In the Memorial portion of the Screen Actors Guild this year, the footage ended with Patrick Swayze ascending to heaven, and I thought wouldn't it be odd if Patrick Swayze was now haunting Demi Moore.

Has anyone ever pulled the "What you talkin' about, Willis?" line with Bruce Willis?

It's my birthday

Another birthday is here. I've celebrated in my traditional ways--making a cake, seeing a movie, going to OPH for breakfast. Daniel and I are going out to dinner later, although the where is a surprise (the gift may or may not be!).

My age is one of those let down ages. I'd had high hopes for 42, but they didn't really pan out. I learned some Important stuff, as well as having a bit of a crisis of faith that I'm still sorting out. Now, I am feeling more like a grown up, but that might just be my first pair of reading glasses. Or the car accident. I was actually coming from ordering the glasses when I got in the car accident.

I also have done some recentering that feels like it is working. Over the weekend, I bought myself a hard-cover copy of 'The Tao of Pooh' and reread that, along with some of the Vedic sutras and this Deepak Chopra book I have. I also started re-reading 'The Te of Piglet,' which is even more preachy than I remembered it.

I'm starting the year feeling there is work to be done, but I can do it. If, of course, I can decide the best way to work--hard or tao-ish or something else.
