bits and pieces

Tonight we saw One Fast Move or I'm Gone: Kerouac's Big Sur  at the Alamo Ritz. We loved it, maybe I did more than Wm. Perhaps it was because I watched it while enjoying some perfectly yummy creme brulee. I thought no one made it better than Chez Nous. I was wrong. We thought the Alamo would have some cool Beat footage before the show, Pull My Daisy would have been nice... they usually do that sort of thing. I came away thinking all the writing has already been done. All those ear tingling pairings of nouns with adjectives and verbs and phrases and all the imagery...Big Sur has it all.

Sometimes, I miss sitting in school desks like this, maybe I just miss seeing them around. My Grandmother gave one to me when I was a kid. I stored my coloring books and art supplies in it. It was were I'd sit to paint and color. Wouldn't mind having an adult sized one in a corner with a lap top. Office corner. You know you don't have a very complicated life if your entire "home office" can fit into one of these. I remember they were really comfortable too. A bit of contour to the seat was all the ergonomics this eight year old needed.                                                                                                                        

Giving the whole technical writing freelancing a rest. The only piece I enjoyed writing and researching was the one I did on Texas-Ware. I dug up Dallas Morning News articles from the 50's-70's. The other assigned articles have been dullsville, I don't care how much they pay.

Wow, it's November, though it feels like we should only be embarking upon September. But, it's November, holiday time in my world.  I've been doing holiday stuff, listening to holiday tunes and feeling rather excited.  Only seven more weeks left to 2009. EEK! Did I freak you out? Sorry.
