Holy Links in Post, Batman!

Did y'all have a good weekend? Mine was social--thank the sweet stars--and good. Thursday was just as I had planned--I spent the day in my pajamas and an apron. I got to watch one of my favorite films on the planet, It's a Wonderful Life, with Graham, who had never seen it. OMG, I love that movie and I love my man! He cried at the end! Friday, we rode the Fung Wah bus to Boston and had another post-Thanksgiving feast hosted by my friends Nathan and Coppelia. The next day was spent having coffee with an old friend and her family--which was a total pleasure. So inspiring and fun.

Yesterday I had dinner with my friend Nate and we went out and saw Walk the Line. I cannot stop thinking about this movie. It's not the most amazing movie ever, but it filled me up, and touched me in an unexpected way. The best parts were watching Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon sing together. Their voices--OH! THEIR VOICES--were so great and inspiring. That was really at the heart of June and Johnny Cash's relationship and so it seems apt that these scenes are also the heart of the movie. I was awake most of last night thinking about it.

Unemployed AGAIN today--though, GOOD NEWS! I have an interview at last! On the way into town among thoughts of Johnny Cash, Joaquin Pheonix, and grumbly thoughts about my temp agency, I began assembling ideas for an unemployment survival kit. Mine today consists of taking care of business, reading beautiful poetry, listening to music, and doing at least one thing that makes me enjoy life. I recently listened to David Sedaris' SantaLand Diaries, which made me laugh outloud and feel better about searching for work in New York.

Oh, the pleasure--it's always the answer to everything isn't it?
