out of africa

listing--in the sense of making a list, not falling to one side

1. i watched out of africa last night
2. i may be in love with robert redford in that movie
3. his name in the film is dennis...not a good name.
4. just as i was beginning to bitch about tidy, happy endings, i watch a movie without one.
5. that's about right.
6. while wanting to shake meryl streep and ask her what the eff, i understand.
7. sometimes it's all about possession.
8. currently listening to: the bob dylan + johnny cash version of "big river".
9. that equals awesomeness.
10. sex and the city is on.
11. carrie. what a weakling.
12. i know. i have had my mr. big.
13. his name did not turn out to be named john, but maybe that was his middle name.
14. why did the show (and i assume the movie) end with them getting together?
15. doesn't that undermine the whole premise of the show?
16. john miller gave me the music (see #8) and i am elated to have been able to visit with him on my porch.
17. i love my/our (maggie's + ben's) porch.
18. 5 hours of tea yesterday with diane = just what i needed.
19. it only felt like 35 minutes.
20. joel zumaya is coming back.
21. the tigers have won four straight.
22. i received a credit as a MIRS writer in the book we're putting out.
23. evie comes back to me monday.
24. i can't wait to snuggle her.
25. i forgot how much i loved making lists.
26. i forgot how much i loved a lot of things.
27. i'm like a bird now. how lame. how true.
28. amanda taught me about lists.
29. it's nice to be excited again.
30. it's just as nice to have people around who have faith in you.
31. george cushingberry is still my favorite.
32. who says writing doesn't change anything?
33. song stuck in my head: that 'africa' song.
34. someone told me today 'toto' sings it.
35. must have been rita. she has the best iTunes.
36. i'm going to finish my book tonight--'last night at the lobster'.
37. bob dylan + johnny cash(singing 'you are my sunshine') = i can feel little evie against my chest, and i miss her so much/ am so exaltant just thinking of her, i could explode.
38. mirriam-webester, and google spell check, say exaltant isn't a word.
39. words are like math. see # 37.
40. my coach gave me the game ball from monday. i think my parents are proud.
41. this is a good place to stop.
