Quick blog entry!

Monday again? Oh yes it is. . .

Tomato report: YES! The yellow tomato plant is back in business and we have several yellow and red cherry tomatoes that should be ready for eating by this evening! The recovery of the yellow tomato plant amazes me, because it really REALLY looked wilted yellowing and pretty much dead. But indeed, it just needed some time to itself to perhaps re-root.

Ten days until my birthday? Craziness. Although I'm beginning to better understand all that "after 21 your birthdays get less exciting" sentiment. I kindof have to remind myself what year I'm actually celebrating, while simultaneously not doing the math of how far from 30 that actually is :)

Tonight is the shimmy intensive class. Color me a bit nervous, because mine STILL has a long way to go. When I practice, sometimes all the sudden it just hits the perfect groove of control and precision, but I can't get it to happen on cue. Probably, like every other move, I have to allow mysterious portions of my nervous system to catch up on their own. Learning what the *right* move feels like is key, though. Last night I dreamt I was in the final three on "So You Think You Can Dance" even though I kept wondering how I'd slipped past the eliminations thus far.

And finally: I saw the new batman movie last night, and have no need to ever see another interpretation of The Joker ever. I'm not saying this just because he's dead: Heath Ledger's Joker was the finest I've ever seen. Most perfect, most disturbing. Genius.

yay! the Tomato Lives!

I don't know, I really liked Jack Nicholson and I am afraid of scary movies, but I'll probably see it eventually anyway. -alice

Well, I loved Jack Nicholson's Joker too. Heath Ledger's interpretation works for me because it's a VERY different interpretation. So I can love them equally :)
