This week seems to be more about existing than living. Single parenting while sick makes any achievement seem like a minor miracle. Getting the kid clothed and fed and to school on time with his homework done, and the recycling and trash hauled to the curb, I pat myself on the back for those little victories. But actual survival is, hopefully, not at stake. Unlike in The Hunger Games. Which I just got drawn down into. Read the first book cover to cover last night. And now I can’t wait to get my hot little hands on the second and third books. I know what I’m doing this weekend! But I don’t want to get sucked into all the speculation about which actors will be cast as which characters in the upcoming movie adaptation. Though I’m curious how that will all play out.
Today’s five good things:
- Banksy was an anarchist footballer playing in Mexico?
- How to Tour in a Band or Whatever - hilarious.
- Firefly’s 15 Best Chinese Curses (and How to Say Them)
- My son is gay - one of the best blog posts I’ve read in a while. Favorite line: “I am not worried that your son will grow up to be an actual ninja so back off.”
- These amazing Audrey Hepburn photos simply must be seen. So gorgeous!
Oh, and hey, if you’re in the St. Paul area stop by Jerabek’s Coffeehouse sometime. My photos and the boyfriend’s art will be on display there throughout November and December. We hung our work there today. And now I am wiped out. Aside from resting/recuperating/reading this weekend I do plan to swing by the Northrup King Building for Art Attack 2010.
