when are the aliens coming for lunch?

Time for a bedtime story which may or may not be better that Karen O singing you to sleep. This one is set on a space station which is located on the Camelia star (which I purchased for a small fortune online). This star is barely visible to the naked human eye (I try to add "naked" as many times as I can when I email you) and I discovered it while on our houseboat (see a previous email). It has its own twin suns and triplet moons and the landscape is not unlike the Sahara desert, except we cannot walk outside. Our actual space home is divided into 3 main "pods" which are for sleeping, eating and entertaining. It is in the sleeping pod that I find you sitting on the floor cross-legged and gripping your telescope (http://www.meade.com/maxmount/index.html) and staring through the eyepiece into deepest space. You look at me as I enter the pod and ask me when the aliens are coming for lunch. It would seem a weird question to most people but you are not "most people". I come around the side of the bed (which stays unmade) and crouch down next to you. You climb between my legs and we both share the looking into space. I say something that makes you laugh and you turn around and our lips touch lightly. You smile and I smile.

really listen

THIS is the kind of music that makes me want to smile, or scream, or weep, or just throw myself from a mountain top because life is SO unbearably beautiful and SO unbearably sad AT THE SAME TIME.

Obviously that is E X A C T L Y what this song is trying to tell you, if only you'd listen. You MUST close your eyes. You might see something that you will make you feel something, but isn't that the point of music?

Maybe the rain is getting to my head, or maybe I'm starting my period next week, but that is neither here nor there..

THIS SONG IS TO BE WORSHIPPED.

Is there A N Y O N E out there in St. Louis who does NOT want to crawl in a hole deep under ground and insist on staying there until the fucking sun returns???

If there is anybody out there who feels GOOD today, I want to know your secret!

I am giving myself a huuuge pat on the back for doing a light log and kettle bells this morning, but the second part of the day did not turn out to be as productive.

I wanna watch movies.
I wanna eat chocolate.
I wanna nap all day long.

I want Karen O to sing me lullabies while I roll around in bed and wiggle dance laying down.

This darkness sucks.

Oh.

And I miss South Africa.

A LOT.

Today I did flash cards with my mama :)

This might be the best part about nights off work.

The best part about days is obviously going on walks.

but to feel strong."
