This weekend was deceptively calm, taking the granddaughter and grandson out to see the Grinch on Thursday, then taking the granddaughter and two girl friends to the Metreon on Friday to see 102 Dalmations. They say Friday is the busy shopping day of the year. Based on my smallish survey, I believe it.
On Saturday, I managed to convince the granddaughter to let me take her to Arnold's new epic, The Sixth Day, which both of us really enjoyed. me, especially because of it having a similar theme as Total Recall, which is one of my favs. Of course, what I mean my similar theme is that sense of someone else living your life, that sense of disquiet about the very fabric of reality, which was the special gift of the late, great, Phillip K. Dick.
22 November 2000
Thirty seven years ago, today, I was twelve years old and on my way off the field from my seventh grade physical education activity when we received the news about JFK.
With that event and the two assassinations that came five years later, it's no wonder that the words from A Day In The Life have had such resonance for me...
Though I have been a total web slacker of late, I have been busying myself in other realms. One, I've been attentive to developing a therapuetic alliance with my new therapist. I go once a week and it's a complete change from the once every four or five weeks that Kaiser allows. Mind you, I don't want to sound too critical of Kaiser in this regard, as I've had excellent experience with Kaiser's therapists, and, after all, my Kaiser therapist referred me to my current one.
What I'm reading now:
Terrors and Experts by Adam Phillips
Written on the Body by Jeanette Winterson
And....I'm still trying to finish Death of the Good Doctor by Kate Scannell.
Okay. Enough with the updates. Time to go buy some new earrings!
