...cuz you never know what's coming 'round the bend" - Incubus
Online journals are peculiar in that you only get tiny snapshots of a person's entire living experience at a time. Granted, my decision to accept, and then reject, that job offer all happened relatively quickly no matter how you look at it, but in an online journal the boundary between moving/not moving, good/bad, happy/sad is separated by a few mere pushes of the [enter] button. I know I painted a sour picture with some of my entries but actually I love life and I think it's fun and obnoxiously exciting when things like that happen, even if they don't go as I wanted.
Imagine my silly little grin after I read my horoscope in Real Detroit:
"Aries: You never know what will happen, do you? The last few weeks have been nuts. You're learning that it doesn't pay to make ironclad plans. Things turn out better if you just flow... It may be appropriate for you to cut your losses and bail out of a situation..."
I hate it when horoscopes are right. ;)
Let's talk entertainment: New Beastie Boys song on the radio is great! I'm so happy they finally came out with something, it's been too long. Movies: I'm gonna spend a lot of money soon. Van Helsing I need to see, because it's got Hugh Jackman (though I only think he's hot as the hairy Wolverine but killing vampires is pretty sexy too), Harry Potter of course because I jumped on the band wagon after reading all 5 books in 3 weeks (and yes, they really are as good as all those obsessed, obnoxious addicts claimed! I've been converted!), and of course TROY, with the always-hot Brad Pitt. I didn't realize he was 40! Wouldn't it be weird to have a dad that looked that great at that age? Here's an article about him on MSN. Movies and hot guys everywhere!
Plus, I finally posted my Shenandoah/Virginia trip pictures on Trekshare. Still no narrative to go with it but oh well. ;)
The photo today is of the Grand Tetons, which I took on my big road trip last October. Go there! It's awesome!
Lisa...this photo is stunning! I stayed in Jackson Hole for a week a few years ago and it was in early March. Our hotel/cabin was near the base of the Tetons and every morning when I got up, I would go sit outside on the balcony and just stare at them. I only saw the region with snow on the ground...how beautiful is without! Thanks for helping me to remember a great trip and a breathtaking part of this country!
