laughter is the best medicine
We (Darren, Ali, Hez & I) went & saw the 40 Year Old Virgin lastnight and it was HYSTERICAL!!!! I was laughing so hard at the end, I almost was afraid I wasn't going to be able to stop, and I'd be that red faced, tears streaming down lunatic who can't stop laughing even though the movie ended 45 minutes ago. hahaa! Luckily I pulled it together just in time as we stepped out into the well lit lobby, where I made a b-line to get a napkin to sop up my tears of joy. What a funny movie!!!:::::
I'm feeling SO much better today. Yesterday plain out sucked!!! It was like 10,000 Mondays all wrapped into one. I literally shed tears at my desk, it was miserable. I wanted so bad to just crawl into a ball and sleep all day... but instead I had to work. So, my substance abuse of choice was not 1, but 2 double shot lattes. Not sure if that helped, but by the end of the day, and after successfully getting a project out the door, I was at least better off than I started earlier in the day.
Some shit went down over the weekend that I don't even feel like giving any kind of energy to, except to say that it sent me on one of those lovely emotional rollercoaster rides that went something like this (be sure to hold up your hands while you read this for the full effect): MAD!!, numb, horribly depressed, and now today - I think I am actually feeling ok. Maybe back to numb a little... but I'm not feeling the need to drink 2 lattes today - so hey! I'm making progress! hahaa.
Besides all that, I'm having a big ol sucky upheaval when it comes to my creativity. Or maybe the emotional (relationship) crap just mixed in with the good ol' fashioned tortured artist within me and made me start really questioning why the fuck I even try to do ANYTHING in my life. gah.
But we all know that's just silly. So I'm going to shelve it all for awhile & revisit when I'm not feeling so damn gloomy.

Speaking of artsy stuff, we had a big sewing/craft salon on Sunday @ Hez's! In attendance: Hez, Mai, Lucia, Jem, Lyne & me! yay! Mai worked on her sock monkey, Lucia knit, I cut out some fabric characters for Lyne to stitch on her bags and then I did a little painting. Lyne did a little sewing, Jem applied a felt flap girl to a shirt, and Hez showed off her new serger. Mid day we all went & ate tasty burrito's on Mission St. Yumm!

I have been working out, and today I finished the book I've been reading: Home Land by Sam Lipsyte. I didn't really like it.
Next up: Designing with Web Standards, by Jeffrey Zeldman. Ya, I know - I can't believe I haven't read it yet either - but now is the time!!!

In other "what willo's bought for herself lately" news, I got myself some JBL Speakers for my laptop. They're just simple little things (aka nice & cheap!), but I'm pretty stoked on em!! Now when I don't want my music screaming over my living room stereo speakers, I can have them on right here in front of me. wooohoo!
