anastasia

m's in daycare full time this summer; feeling a little guilty about this, but this has been a heck of a year and i need some rejuvenating silence.   on that note, was at the library today and found the movie anastasia.  i've always wanted to see this movie - something about it pulled me towards it, and you know me, i go with the flow.

along those lines, also just watched a documentary on the lives of russian ballerinas... can you see a theme here?  so this is generational frustration - my sisters got to be ballerinas when they were little but by the time i was born - thirteen years later (can you say SURPRISE!) the ballet teacher was gone and i was left to learn how to play the piano.

um... guess i was a bit privileged growing up.



other past lives that i may have lived:

1. gay Swedish man whose career was as an interior decorator - i was fabulous.  i honestly think every black woman was a gay man in her past life and vice versa...

2. Indian royalty - had a dream when i was little.  all i could see were my feet, which had these beautiful bangles on them and the hem of my deep-purple and gold-trimmed skirt.  i remember watching my feet kicking up the dust and feeling the heat of the air around me.

3. radical protester - i have too much of a mouth on me to not have been shot and killed in another life for it.   i'm sure i went out like a g.

can you tell this is a random post?  just felt like i needed to add something, as i haven't visited here in a while.   you know how it gets - kid, life, career.   ish, however wonderfully cathartic, tends to fall to the wayside. sigh.
