Yesterday was fun. Lee, Alissa and I went to the park, climbed rocks, found our own personal tour guide. I took a few pictures. It was way too humid for me, but I enjoyed the wilderness anyhow. I haven't done anything outdoorsy in awhile, and I guess that will have to satisfy me for another while, because I can't stand the heat. We were all contemplating sliding off the rocks into the water, which would have been fine had Alissa and I brought extra clothes. And we had the walk home ahead of us, and from where we were sitting the water didn't smell very pleasant. So that idea slipped away from us easily.

We watched Dodgeball (sort of) when we returned; we missed most of it because we were in the kitchen coloring phone cords with Sharpies and eating chips with stinky bean salsa. (Mmm... stinky beans...) Later, we watched Donnie Darko as well, which I fell asleep during. I managed to draw a pretty picture somewhere in there, with a harp and noodles and little black jelly creatures with multiple eyes and toast with legs and a spool of thread and many other amusing creatures/items. Lee painted the moon with sparkly blue nail polish to add the finishing touch, and I gave it to Alissa this morning. When we woke up, the television was still alive; some old-time movie or show was on. It was actually quite awesome; there were tap dancers and singers and piano players and other musicians. There was a wide variety of talents. This began a discussion about talent and how it is lost in the media these days because beauty is often the deciding factor in the achievement of fame. It is so disappointing that this is so today, for there are many people who are considered beautiful but far less who actually posess talent. If only things were as they used to be: talent first, looks second. It makes so much more sense.

Leeanna is making pancakes currently, as I sit in this computer chair, spinning in the mundane Monday air that moves through this house. I am thinking about the movies: Adam and I are possibly going to go see Charlie and the Chocolate Factory later, which would be fantastic. I am hopeful.

So, things are calming down. They were teetering for a day or two there, and I was afraid of becoming too bitter and caustic. But now, I can breathe. For a moment.

Pancake time!

weee! last night went quite well. nothing ever goes as planned, but it was entertaining nonetheless. i look forward to more of this bonding, hopefully with walks during the early hours before the sky becomes light. ^_^
