Not what I don’t have
April 10th, 2007 by tree
I re-read my post from the other day and it seemed like the glaring hole in logic is that I wasn’t writing about what I do have.
One good thing is my Netflix subscription. Here are the movies coming to my house for the weekend. Volver, with Penelope Cruz; Marie Antoinette; Dreamland. Dreamland is about this:
Director Jason Matzner’s atmospheric drama follows the fortunes of three tattered souls living in a New Mexico mobile-home community. Just out of high school, 18-year-old Audrey (Agnes Bruckner) holds down a job while also caring for her alcoholic father (John Corbett) and infirm friend (Kelli Garner). But everything changes with the arrival of handsome new neighbor Mookie (Justin Long), forcing the altruistic Audrey to make some tough choices.
The trailer for this looked really good. I love the New Mexico terrain.
what do you do just for you?
If you want more of the New Mexico terrain, check out this movie — Off the Map (with Joan Allen).
Ms Jilly!! What an impertinent question!! (if she sends you photos, please forward them to me)
I prefer the question, what doesn’t a person do for himself?
And yes, I love you, too.
Maybe we’ll all move in together in Heaven.
bert, i’ll live with you, but i’m not sharing a bathroom. my point was tree eats, sleeps, watches tv etc like all people, but she’s been spending a lot of time over the past year being super responsible for the shelf, for her family (the teenager alone will drain you), for her business etc. we all need to sneak off and just do something for ourselves and no one else every so often. you play golf for that reason bert, i know it isn’t for fame or fortune or because your family requires it of you, although i’m sure your wife enjoys the alone time.
Hi Jilly, my trip to Hawaii in July will be the thing I’m doing for me. I guess I see the TV and movies and books as just for me, too. But I understand what you mean. I’m my own worst enemy sometimes.
