Consider
a girl who keeps slipping off,
arms limp as old carrots,
into the hypnotist's trance,
into a spirit world
speaking with the gift of tongues.

What I am in love with lately...

* the book "Eat, Pray, Love" -- I am so utterly in love with this book and the way the writers words and experiences seep right into my skin. I can feel. literally feel everything that she describes right down to the core of me. I fear turning to the last page and having to say goodbye to such a beautiful memoir of life, love, tragedy and soul searching. this book will be one that I keep in my heart (and quite possibly on my night stand) for a long time to come.

* the movie "Vicky Cristina Barcelona" -- I just got back from seeing this movie today and already I want to go back to watch it again. I have been pretty much hopelessly in love with Scarlett Johansson for as long as I can remember and if her starring in it wasn't good enough, there is a lovely makeout scene between her and the goorgeous Penelope Cruz, which in my opinion was definitely not long enough but the little bit that it showed was obscenely hot, of course. I also found Javier Bardem to be strangely sexy. I was a little bit shocked at how close Scarlett's character (Cristina) in the film is to me. I found myself looking over at my mom during the film with an expression on my face of "does that sound like me, or what?" she agreed later that we are very very similar. I wish I were as beautiful and courageous as her character in the film though.




In other news....

I am off to the market to buy a bunch of Kale and attempt to make Kale Chips that everyone seems to constantly rave about. I hope they taste some-what like regular potato chips because I have been craving them soooo badly! I need something to give me that sensation.

we'll see!!!
