All is well in the world today. My suspicions earlier in the week that perhaps I was becomig bipolar, are unfounded. Just a rather unfortunate melding of timing, hormones, deadlines, housework (or the lack thereof), and not enough exercise paired with excessive caffeine & its buddy alcohol. L.A. will do that to ya.
Add to all that my work deadlines and the mourning dove drama on my balcony and next thing you know I am weepy over fairly random things (simultanouesly heartsick yet at the same time kinda laughing at myself because this is all so silly & funny) and headed to Costco for the self-medications of choice: cheesecake & heineken. (but certainly not at the same time).
We rented Sexo Y Lucia, a very well-reviewed Spanish movie, and basically got kinda wierded out. I do recommend the movie, I am in love with Paz Vega the lead actress. But it sort of leaves one with the impression that Spanish people are kinky as all get out, that you should not own a large dog or have a porn star mom, that life begins and heals and perhaps ends on an Isla Bonita, and that writers are prone to driving themselves insane. Hmm. Can’t comment on the truthfullness of all that but hey, it’s food for thought. So if I ever get off my duff and write all these books in my head will it send me into a psychotic break?
Oh, and it was a reminder that foreign films are quite comfy with full frontal nudity, equal opportunity for actors y actresses alike.
As for the avian drama, I was aghast when the nest/plant blew down again the next day. I arrived home to find a fretful dove pacing in front my the garage, letting me ocme way too close, and giving me looks as I drove in. This time I placed the lavendar geraniums, teeny nest, and egg onto a more stable table on our balcony. I cupped that little chick in my hands & huffed warm air onto its chilly little body and laid it next to its sibling egg. Mom/Dad dove is back now and all appears well although I wonder if that other egg shall ever hatch given all this trauma.
I also made my 10 miles run in 5 days goal for this week…have a new blister to show for it.
We’re off to Lalime’s tonight, (dear reader you should try this place!) on Gilman in Berkeley-I’ve liked it more than Chez Panisse.
Hasta luego
