Friday

Yes, its finally here. We can all rejoice.

Today better go by quickly. I'm off for a whole week after this!

LOTR was really pretty. I'm a bit disappointed because this one seemed to stray further from the book than the first one. But DAMN is Aragon sexy! Legolas got some Rock-Star points too in his nifty 'running up the side of a horse to jump on' and 'surfing down a staircase while shooting mucho arrows at people'.

Off to clean out my oatmeal bowl and then start cranking out the work, I'd like to be really productive today. Tonight B and I will be stopping briefly at a friend's Xmas party in Waltham and then most likely heading over to the December Birthday shindig. And tomorrow, the santa sluts :)

Have a great day everyone (lets hope its a fast one)!

Beauty

It gets really hot in my office, being an old building and all (I think it used to be housing for traveling nurses at the hospital years ago). So I end up with my windows open.

Today I heard music from the church down the street for the first time. I think it must be the Catholic one on Rt. 60. BELLS! There was music this morning, and they just chimed out the one that goes "Sing a new song onto the Lord, Let your song be sung to Mountains High". That's just really odd, I don't think I've ever heard random church bells at noon on a Friday.

For all the bigotry, patriarchy and anti-gay sentiments/practices in the organization of the Catholic Church, I really miss being *in* church sometimes (especially around Christmas or Easter). I've had so many conflicting thoughts about it this holiday season (and the whole Boston Archdiocese scandal just makes it even more confusing).

Dance

For anyone interested in dance (particulary Middle-Eastern), Yoga, fitness or women's spirituality check out http://www.worlddancer.com . I just finished reading her book "A Woman's Book of Power" and got a lot of good information out of it. I'm thinking of picking up the other two in the set at some point.

I really need to make an effort next week in my time off to find some classes (or, schedule time to do workouts/dancing at home) to engage in during winter break. I think of some past experiences I've had like this and feel like I'm not really the person that did those things (seeing what I've been doing with my time lately): http://dancer.livejournal.com/day/2001/12/08
