dear men...

flattery will get you everywhere. just sayin'.

news of the day:

- just spent hundreds of dollars on computer parts i only half understand because the dude i used to babysit when he was a kid told me to. (don't worry, he's a grownup professional now and he's going to do magic with them...but holy lesson in trust/faith/not being a control freak for a change).

- thoughts on age - all the guys my age are a mess, locked in histories in their heads (or because of their kids) with the girls they used to love. it's boring and tiring. how hard is it to be polite and/or grow a pair to just say you're not into me/it/this? musicians are the worst, the lot of them.

- older men, on the other hand, will buy you dinner and tell you you're pretty and send you funny stories and pictures of camels from their travels.

- (where is my middle?)

- wondering whether it would be more fun to go to sedona with a lawyer or a lighting designer...

- my cats really like potatoes and bathtubs and falling asleep in my arms (but only in the morning).

- feminist jungian psychology will save my sanity. everything can be explained, all you have to do is walk into the used book store and look on the right shelf on the right day. thank you fate and curiosity...i'm off to talk to my dreams.
