The Constant Gardener and other tricks of the mind.
First day back to work, this week. I’d say it, and my mood, were reasonably good – I didn’t get much sleep last night, and yet I didn’t bite anyone’s head off. Well, okay, I might have bit one person’s head off. :)
I saw The Constant Gardener. I have to say that I really dove in – it was exactly the right kind of movie for my mood, and my focus was scalpel-sharp through the entire movie. I was dead-silent through the credits (and you should definitely read the credits on this one).
Later at night, of course, when I’m not driving in the bright sun and reflecting on friendship, respect, love, dedication, ambition, and the soaking-up of the sun… well shit, it’s 1 in the morning, damn it, and I get moody when I can’t bury my head in something comforting. Y’know?
I’d best get to bed – if I can get up at 6:30, I may get some stretching and such in before work tomorra.
That wasn’t so bad, was it?
When to hold on and when to let go

Awful lot of big dreams
Dreams…. I’ve been thinking lately about which dreams to give up, and which to chase.
Aye…haven’t we all, sweetie. I know it’s something I think an aweful lot about. Some days more than others. There are some dreams that feel like they still need more time in the oven, or they’ll collapse like fine souffle.
I’m a terrier, I don’t give up on dreams very easily.
Yip Yip Yip yap yip yip…
Translate that, terrier man.
You said, ” Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!” And maybe ended on, “Oooh! gotta pee!”
oh and neither do I dear. Of course, that probably wouldn’t surprise you. Much to CJ’s annoyance I tend to do whatever I get in my pretty little head to do – whether anyone else likes it or not.
But I’ve gotten a couple serious “you should reconsider this whole wanting to go to med school thing” talks. It begins to make one think. Not that it may change my mind, but at least I’m thinking.
Talk to. She knows about exactly that sort of thing, and in your sort of field, as well.
tarrier, even. :)
yeah.
