this wasn't posed at all. srsly

thankfully photoshopped. she wouldn't wear this...unless it was gaultier.

yep, Sarah Brightman. this and every sarah brightman post ever is dedicated to Scott. cuz he hates her. she looks great, at least.

the Legendary Eartha Kitt died today of colon cancer at the age of 81.
Rest in peace, Eartha. you will be missed.

Happy Holidays to you and yours - whatever it is you may celebrate.
I'm at my parents' house in Iowa and it's a balmy 7 degrees - watching TV with my dad - who is a huge sucker for schmaltzy weepy Christmas movies. the wool hat? Barf.
my brother Thom and his family will be here shortly for Christmas dinner.
I know I should feel all warm and fuzzy and family-like but instead I feel out of place and discombobulated. I don't like being away from my real home and life and friends for this long - and as an added torment, being away from Jeff - who I have seen almost every day for the last month - is really getting to me.
I'm back to Seattle Monday afternoon - I hope the mess of unwelcome snow and ice has cleared by then.

so, yeah - merry Christmas and all that.

there's this guy that I've had a crush on for most of 2008 and for the last few weeks we have been spending a lot of time together and so if I seem a little nicer, happier, giddier or something like that - he is the reason. his name is Jeff - he's awesome and he makes me smile.
Like all the time.


...and stop looking up my nose.

it was a better year for singles and remixes, really. coldplay, cyndi lauper, lady gaga had some great ones.

john denver and themuppets chrsitmas - found on vinyl at UM's.
Some queen wearing Mel's gurl glasses.

I have had a couple of really vivid dreams since arriving in MN. The first involved my trying not to freeze to death - it was kinda like the last scene from the shining as I was trapped outside in a snowing forest. I could "feel" snowflakes landing on my face and my fingers and toes starting to ache.
the second involved a very upsetting and not terribly far fetched situation and featured many of my friends - all dressed in black, as if attending a goth funeral - and it was so upsetting that I woke up in tears. very strange. it's a little close to home to share here, though.

see what happens when I'm off work and my brain starts to wander? what the hell?
