Live from smalltown ohio
Sep. 16th, 2006 11:47 pmI've been writing the same post in my head for weeks and I just can't get it out here. It's driving me crazy.
Other than that... I'm at the ancestral homeland, helping my mother through a little foot surgery. She's been a trooper, and I've gotten a chance to read, knit, catch up with my grandmother, and wash some wool. I don't mind suburbs as much when they're not turning their backs on my favorite city. I have two more days before I have to go back to work. Things are good.
I got to see an old friend of mine tonight. She has a daughter now who is 21 months old, and she and her spouse have got a lovely house on the edge of town. Her daughter is lovely, articulate, well-behaved. She does slow down a conversation, though, and it took us almost three hours to start talking deeply. It was really worth the time, once we got there. I don't know when we'll be able to do that again.
I'm too tired now to think much; the post is getting louder, but I still can't decide where it will go. I broke down and bought "V for Vendetta" from my local video store last night. My mother doesn't want to watch it, so I'm seeing it in bits and pieces next to the computer. Most people who read the comic didn't go for the movie, but the music and the lighting do something for me to make it more real. Or maybe I just like a shaved-headed Natalie Portman.
