drowning... in good stuff
it's piling up. and it's a good thing!
if i don't drown in books then maybe it will be in yarn, or maybe movie titles.
or could i drown in sound?
i've been collecting. in anticipation of my lazy days of summer. yes, i've begun counting down the days. is that how we survive? it's our secret soul-salvation on some days.
the books are piling up.
either on my desk or on slips of paper of soon to be released titles. i have to keep collecting them because i just finished another great read this week: Astrid and Veronica, a surprising find at the bookshop. today i just picked up a new non-fiction by loved Barbra Kingsolver (you know, Poisonwood Bible fame). i'm going to try to hold-off on this one, but it's going to be hard to wait to turn the pages on this one. a new book, maybe that means a tour. of all my beloved authors, her path and mine have never crossed! and have you found yourself day dreaming about whatever happened to Vianne and her little daughter in Chocolat? Well, the wait is just about over. Joanne Harris has a sequel to the famed Chocolat coming out in June! oh..that's just the beginning of my list!
plans for yarn?
i'm sooo loving working on my colorful Chevron scarf. when i get this one done....i will cast on for another. and of course the yarn is just lined up with possiblities! so..loving..it!!!
i went to the video store yesterday to pick up a flick. i could have walked away with 4-5 others that i have never heard of, you know they must be those lower rated or art movies that just don't make it to all the theaters. then last night we went with friends to a movie a they showed previews for, again, 3-4 summer release movies that look great. things are piling up!
and in my ears!
a few months ago i bought the soundtrack of the movie Devil Wears Prada. i have not tired of it yet. this week i bought: The Reminder, by Feist. it's in my car, on my Bose at home, in my ears! i'm drowning in sounds. at work on friday we had an in-service, so a bunch of us went out for a quick lunch, i drove, Feist played. a passenger mention something about the music "feeling like we were shopping at Gap in my car". I took this as a compliment!?!
Love...Love it!!!!! you will to!!!
