Trish Keenan.

of Broadcast has died from complications with pneumonia...
she might have been infected with H1N1 according to some news sources.

so so sad.
I love her voice so much.
What a talent...
I'm so glad she had the guts and conviction and drive to pursue a career in music - I'm glad I got to hear her voice.
Not enough people know about this totally underrated band.





If I could have my way...

when it comes to home decor and I didn't have to compromise and that sort of thing with the husband... I would get these items off etsy and be absolutely ridiculously in love with them.....









However,

I did just purchase the following all for under 20 US with shipping - and I'm going to make my very own hamsa wall hanging for our new house!

will she be an only child?

I'm totally on the fence about having another child.


See, there's a lot I want to do in my life.

I've always wanted to get into turntablism/scratching (djing); I've always wanted to travel (I really want to go to iceland and peru and cuba and germany and japan - list goes on) ; I want to paint, write, garden ----- not get a nervous breakdown...

From the way I have experienced the past year and a half since Mia's birth, I really can't see myself doing this ALL over again....

Mia just seems too important to me and I feel like it's taking everything out of me to give her all of myself because of the kind of person I am (sometimes lost in my head, prone to needing my own personal space etc) ... I love her with everything that I have -- I just didn't even think I was ever going to be a breeder in the FIRST place, and now that I've become one - I think one is enough.

but I'm always agonizing over whether or not that is fair to her / selfish of me...

I just feel like I won't be as good of a mother if I have another child...

I'll turn into this:




.... ok I'm exaggerating..
I wouldn't completely lose it like Mink Stole in Desperate Living, but I'd be a mess I think.

till moving day ...

AlternaTickers - Cool, free Web tickers

it occured to me recently...

after reading a ... ... a....
self help book (yeah... really!), its occurred to me that I do not see myself as my own best friend.

In the past, this would sound really hokey to me, but I'm really starting to see the true importance of seeing myself as my own best friend, of being THERE for myself, not just shutting down and giving up on myself.. I've actually always been my own worst enemy.

this part in the above mentioned self help book, really got me :

"I believe that my higher self is my pure essence and highest potential, without all the layers of fear and ego that make up my outward personality. I think of her as my best friend, who's always there for me and never lets me down. It's this essence that can see situations from all sides with absolute clarity and without judgment."

so, I'm going to be going through this book, discriminately, because not all advice is good advice - but whatever feels right to me/works for me/is positive to me - I will try to internalize and hopefully radically change my pretty terrible point of view as it stands right now.

oh and I haven't started smoking again...

zombie dream I just woke up from...

I was in some asian country - possibly Japan, maybe China...
me and this other girl, a friend I had met while on stay in the country - were holed up in this tiny apartment...
the zombies were everywhere and we could hear several gunshots constantly going off outdoors as people attempted to fight them off..
I told the girl to go lock the window and put the blind down - we had nothing to actually seal the window up with so our best bet was to cover it and be extremely quiet..
I was pushing the door with my body weight...

and we just came to the realization that there was no way out and we'd be better off killing ourselves than getting our brains eaten by the zombies which were bound to realize where we were and burst in the small apartment...

Arizona shooting...

People are such moronic cowards.
I hate guns.
I hate anyone who possesses a gun.
I don't buy any pro gun argument.

So you have a beef with the government...
what the hell is getting out your gun and shooting a bunch of people going to ultimately achieve?
