How Peculiar?

When people tell you that you’ll get used to waking up early if you have to do it every day – they’re lying! I will NEVER be a morning person. Ever. NE-VER EV-ER. So I tend to do stupid/lazy things in the morning (like spill coffee grinds on the counter!) My thumb is now sporting a Garfield band aid because this morning I broke a nail. There was blood involved. Any more details and someone (mom) is liable to heave. Suffice to say it hurt like hell! Thankfully Chris (a knight in a fuzzy bathrobe) took ALL the garbage & stuff out this morning; otherwise I may have broken more then a nail!

Brotherly love blossoms in the bible…(or this week’s Torah reading)

“Jacob, returning homeward, prepares for his encounter with brother Esau. The night before his encounter with Esau, Jacob, alone, is confronted by a mysterious assailant, who wrestles with him until dawn. The long-feared reunion is remarkably amicable and peaceful. Esau runs to great Jacob and embraces him. Up to this time, he hated Jacob, but the reunion stirs within him feelings of love, making his kiss a sincere gesture.”

Last night I attempted to watch the live action Grinch movie, (while knitting so I was only half watching it) and it was so boring (and slightly disturbing) that I had to turn it off. I can’t deal with actual tv anymore. I only watch tv on DVD or PVR’d stuff. No commercials, no waiting, no getting distracted. All though last night I gave up on tv entirely and started reading What’s Eating Gilbert Grape. Since this is one of my favourite movies and I’ve never read the book before, it’s taking some great concentration to push all the images from the movie out of my head. It’s tough because the book is quite different, but most of the dialogue in the movie has been taken directly out of the book. And how do you get the image of Johnny Depp out of your head? Ever.
