touching down (again)

Randomly tossed:

• This writer - who has written that there is no such thing as writers block - has been feeling uninspired (duh, last post was nearly 3 weeks ago ...).  Is this writer's block?  (oh, the cockiness ... oh the folly...)

• I finally saw the BBC's Pride & Prejudice; I totally get the Colin Firth/Darcy thing now.

• Daylight Saving starts Saturday ... not that I have been counting (for the last month and a half ... or maybe since we changed the clocks back in november ...).  Joisey (and almost the entire east coast) got hit with a big snow on Monday; it's been under 30 degrees for the last couple of days ... but on Sunday, it will be light until about 7; I've almost made it through another winter.  There is reason to celebrate.

• In a recent conversation with a friend about men/women and the curiousness of relationship, I wound up sharing two thoughts that she said every man and woman should know.  Far be it for me to withhold such potentially powerful information, so ...

A note for girls: It's panties, not underwear. (and don't just say it, wear 'em.  a little more "porn star" and a little less "granny comfort" will go over BIG.) (and just cause they're called panties, doesn't mean they have to be uncomfortable ...)  Trust me, he'll be grateful.

A note for the boys: You're right and you're not right.  Where you're right: a massage IS foreplay.  But where you're wrong: it might not be immediate foreplay.  (that may seem like an oxymoron ...)  If you give a good massage and she gets so syrupy that she falls asleep, you'll be thinking it was for naught.  It's not. Trust me, she'll be grateful.

(note to self: single now how long? what do you know?)

Fun sites:

• The creative process: art, music, theater all rolled into one at Sketch Theatre.  It is what it sounds like: artists are filmed (or at least their hands and their sketch pads are) while they create ... all set to music: Sketch Theatre.  (why theatRE as opposed to theatER?  are we fronch?)

• I'm lovin' this site: Fifty People/One Question.  Again, it's pretty much what it sounds like: filmed interviews of fifty different people being asked the same question on the same day in a random city.  I love how they explain what they do: ... just trying to capture a little slice of humanity.  Yum.

• With my sporadic postings, and current unfocused nature of the blog-beast, I may just need to do a little blog-visioning.  Great article on how to do that here.

And for those of you still here, thanks for still checking in with me; I enjoy your company here in my little slice of blog-land.

-I don't think that feeling uninspired is writer's block. Maybe it's like taking a breath or something. A momentary pause in between the writing. I love that article on writer's block by the way. Lovely delicious advice. "Choose, write, get inspired. And then write some more." No folly there my friend!!!!

-I too am excited about DST. I just went outside in the sunshine with no coat on and almost fainted from the delight of it. Come on spring.

-I am so glad you've discovered the Firth/Darcy phenomenon. I was so disappointed when I watched the movie of P&P that came out a couple of years ago. That Darcy was not Firth and therefore not Darcy. I frankly don't see how anyone can ever play Darcy when he is alive in the form of Mr. Firth.

-I completely agree with the panties/not underwear philosophy. I'm frustrated that so many of us girls discount the power of the pantie! The boys truly are grateful - and that can only be good for a relationship.

-Love the Fifty People/One Question site. Us humans are so fascinating.

OK, I'm done. You may not post as frequently as you would like, but when you do dahling you make it good :)

much love
