weekend... end
saw Joan of Arc this weekend. a silent film with french (& english) subtitles. extraordinary what they were doing with cinematography in 1920's - i recommend. afterwards i had to brush up on my Jean d' arc history and realized that she was quite an incredible individual - her military 'career' fighting for the french against the british was impressive, and it seemed from what i read that her trial and death were incredibly political and tainted with corruption of the factions persecuting her. the movie is based on actual documentation of the trial. also saw March of the Penguins, a national geographic documentary that is amazing! i had never heard anything, especially anything of detail, about the courtship and parenting rituals of penguins. it's an impressive look and was intriguing partly because people actually accomplished filming this behavior in the natural (freezing cold, no sun, no anything) habitat.
saw Indigo Girls and their openers, Girlyman - the entire show ROCKED! the most positive vibes and great energy. the harmonies were beautiful, voices strong, presence strong and sure, it's amazing to watch 2 souls that are so perfect together and have actually found each other in this world. there's something so certain in their songs and in their singing, that i it sets the world back on course and where it should be for the moment, and whatever lost feeling you have, goes away, and you find your way again. i'm so happy that i have finally seen them perform live after all these years. truly a cathartic experience. damn they're good! Girlyman was awesome too. I was so impressed by the strength that was in their songs and their presence & voices, and they are so young yet! really talented and just plain cool people.
on another note, went to ikea and made another attempt to cheaply improve my living space :) i do love those trips and the small luxuries that make me feel more at home. went to the beach for a bit, could stay there forever. now it's the wee hours of monday morning when i should be back to sleep, but of course i'm somewhere awkwardly between wide awake and overtired. rearranged some furniture and feels good to sit on the couch by the window and hear the birds outside and feel the light breeze come in and brush my skin :) we have 2 additions to our household - Charlotte- a very pretty hanging spider plant, and Placido, a green and white caladium. hope they like it here.
well, over and out. but first, Aunt Fima you're in my prayers and I pray that you aren't suffering and that you keep a strong will and know how much you're loved by all of us. I hope you pull through this and I see your smiling face come December.
Amen.
