Down for the count....

So Hubby was sick earlier this week, now it is my turn....I am feeling less then at full speed so I have been watching a bunch of movies!
Being sick on the weekends seem to be how I roll, which really sucks because it is also when I am suppose to be working in the studio. It requires all my focus and energies and being sick drains all those elements and simply has me sitting her trying not to beat myself up over not working!
it is a no win situation.....

In the last 24hours I have
I watched the whole first season of Downton Abbey last night (thanks to movie streaming)
Today I watched the first episode of Mad Men wanting to get into that, but all I got was incredibly frustrated at how sexist it was...I blame it on the cold...zero patience.

Then two documentaries


and then
and Note by Note about making Steinway pianos

I have also napped a bit and ate some veggie sushi thanks to hubby

Ugh colds suck...

Thankful Thursday

Thank you so very much for the birthday wishes!

It made me feel warm and remembered and loved, oh so loved!

My birthday was spent with family Monday night, we shared a meal and some laughs and mostly talked about this and that.
The following night I went to a concert with my hubby, to see this fantastic band:
Chris Robinson Brotherhood



We stood right at the stage and made eye contact with them, it kind of freaked me out a little.
It was like entering such and intimate environment and not really knowing these people. Everyone seemed to be really enjoying themselves and the music was great.
Amazing people watching too....
My hubby and his friend have gotten tickets to all the performances that they are going to do in our town. So this was their third concert at this venue.
The first person that caught my eye was a lady that had parked herself in front of Chris Robinson's microphone, well before the concert was due to start. Hubby said she had been at all the other concerts too, and liked to dance in front of Chris Robinson all concert long...some call her a groupie, some an exhibitionist but I would like to think that she really likes the music and wants that intimate experience all to herself.
Once the concert started she did kick right into gear and the sexual energy off that woman was CRAZY no wonder my hubby and everyone on stage remembered her.
I had secured my spot right next to hubby, with some space to spare..but that didn't last long, as there was some subtle nudges from the tall pretty lady behind me, who wanted my spot..but I didn't bow and stood my ground, much to her disappointment.
As I have mentioned before,I am obsessive with not loosing my hearing so I wear earplugs,
one of the many benefits to this allows me to hear all the lower conversations that others can't without the plugs.
It fed me well at this concert; I could here the flirting conversations coming from a couple on the other side of us, I could hear our friend singing along to the music, I could hear the guy behind telling his friend that he wants to learn how to play guitar like that!...and after the concert I could hear and not have to scream my conversations.

Not only did I love watching all the beautiful people, but I also saw a real live movie person there...
I turned into a little giddy girl and nudged my hubby on spying him. I was giggling and trying to act cool...but I have no poker face for these things.
In fact when I saw this person, while working at a local bookstore I went pale, stuttered my "can I help you find anything" and backed away. Like I had seen a snake or something...he found it quite amusing.
At the time it made me want to die, oh my gosh

I watched Mr. tall dark and handsome for as long as he was in my sights and then went back to watching the band, you know the reason we were actually there....

Hashing out my plans



handmade cinnamon rolls

Inspired by my sister-in-laws month long blog about baking, I made the Pioneer Woman's cinnamon rolls, well two batches...I am pretty sure I killed the yeast in both cases, but they still came out really goood.
And we made enough to share with multiple people.

I am currently lying low and trying to make my personal plans, goals and hopes for 2011.
I am watching a copious amount of films, napping and eating what I choose.
movies to date:
Blood into wine
Kick Ass
The Runaways
Exit thru the Gift Shop
A piece of work: Joan Rivers
Valhalla Rising
Ongbak 2
Battlestar Galactica season one
An Education
Date Night
Good Hair
    Plus whatever is on the Science channel or the occasional talkshow or nightime comedy.
    I am doing my best to stay away from the news, or anything that might shift my mood suddenly.
    Think of it as a sort of chrysalis phase...

    Take it easy


    bathroom door at the local record shop,
    reminds me of my mind right now

    Against my better judgement I have been doing things slowly...
    I figured the harder I tried to fight towards my next goal thru the haze of exhaustion,
    I would not make wise choices.
    I took a reality check pill or something.
    So yesterday I made a new plate in the Autumn sun, and looked up some competitions. While today I organized images for future projects, ignored the pile of laundry and watched movie after movie.
    I have so many ideas I am swirling, and trying to decide which direction to go first.

    So I I have been feeding my internal image file...
    what amazing films; colorful and inventive and dark and moody...I ate them up!
    Now I just wait for the dreams to come and bring me the rest.

    Maybe it is ok to simply "take it easy", mental health time...very important

    The Bicycle a film by James Richards

    James Richards has made an amazing film with an unique view. 
    He is super close to finishing the film, but like many creative projects, he is short on funds.
    This was brought to my attention from a friend I studied in Paris with many years ago  
    (who is also a film maker)  
    and 
    the male lead in the film!
    If you have a few extra dollars please consider sharing (buy a shirt or donate cash)
    You can help him complete the film!
     
    Here is a link to the movie site where you can donate

    See the trailer here:
