best line from an anne sexton poem EVER
from "You, Doctor Martin"
"Once I was beautiful. Now I am myself"
"Once I was beautiful. Now I am myself"
more from anne sexton
Noon Walk on the Asylum Lawn
The summer sun ray
shifts through a suspicious tree.
though I walk through the valley of the shadow
It sucks the air
and looks around for me.
The grass speaks.
I hear green chanting all day.
I will fear no evil, fear no evil
The blades extend
and reach my way.
The sky breaks.
It sags and breathes upon my face.
In the presence of mine enemies, mine enemies
The world is full of enemies.
There is no safe place.

the movie of the day:
holy crap.
i've not quite processed this movie yet. however it is safe to say that for as gory as it was, i expected it to be worse. maybe no gory movie will be as gory or as disturbing as i imagine it to be.
review forthcoming.
warning: cleavage discussion
just watched woody allen's "melinda and melinda" and i'll tell you what -- none too shabby. will ferrell is always a favorite of mine. i'm never crazy about amanada peet, but she was good for her role.
and i have heartburn from tonight's dinner. ugh. i'm old.
so there is a problem with the wedding dress. i mean, the dress is fine and in one piece and everything, but i'll tell you what, i think i take issue with the amount of cleavage that is going to happen with it.
it's not as though people will see it and say "hey! i never knew kari had breasts before!"
but there is something weird about sort of putting myself out there...like that.
so does this mean that it's three weeks away and i have to find something to wear?
it might.
who's up for shopping?

my kid...
...she likes improv!
"willy wonka" was on tv and after "whose line is it anyway" began.
"i like 'whose line is it anyway.' i'll go to bed when it's done."
watching her giggle incessantly as adults act like fools is FANTASTIC. must take her to an improv show sometime.
we had spaghetti for dinner. nothing fancy, just some angel hair pasta with some jar sauce. i love italian food. i bring this up because i just saw a commercial for olive garden. and i'm fully aware that olive garden is like the mcdonald's of italian food, but compared to the "italian" that i make, the olive garden may as well be italy.

more journal entry fun!
(now playing: left of center by suzanne vega)
let's jump ahead in time, shall we, to the spring of 2000:
"... it's quite difficult to function without medication. i hope this doesn't pass onto abbey. is that even possible? i'm so tired, and, at the same time, my mind is fully alert. i want to feel something else for a while. not pain, not numb, just something..nice. i really want to just feel something. no, it's not that i'm numb. i just want to feel whole again. i'm so segmented. so in little pieces, scared of losing those pieces, scared of holding on too tightly. need middle ground. can't find it
need meds soon..."
so i've got my outfit ready for tomorrow. i'm showered, listening to music (now playing: bizarre love triangle by new order) and reclined in my bed. there is a cat next to me, and he goes by the name of "little brother." but he's larger now. so just "brother." "big brother" is way too creepy.
watched "the exorcism of emily rose" this evening. not horrible but not what i was hoping for.
hoped for:
scary movie
actually saw:
courtroom drama
feh.

my third birthday, from Mattell (TM)
so below you will see my third birthday party. seated at the table it is julie clark me, and my darling lovely friend amycita of leingirlz3.
below that, you will see the same three girls on the couch, however i am holding ellermee of leingirlz3 in my lap.
god, i love these pictures, and i thought for sure i had lost them. yay for teensy levels of organization!
me: hmm...maybe this bin? maybe this box? or is it....the closet!
(i even recall the present i received from the lovely leingirlz -- the soundtrack album to the movie "pete's dragon." [he has, the head of a camel, the neck of a crocodile...])

a stroll down memory lane at a frantic pace
since i did my friend t. the honor of sharing our 10th grade homecoming photo with, well, the world, i thought it only right to show the rest of my high school formal events.
behold: sophomore homecoming, junior prom and senior prom.
behold: sophomore homecoming, junior prom and senior prom.
like the renaissance festival, with cheaper food
so the riverview theater is showing the lord of the rings trilogy today. abbey has been nagging me to see the first one, so we ventured out this morning. well....
upon arrival to the theater we saw cars lining the streets and i thought, "huh, that's a lotta cars for just a movie." then upon parking we see someone emerge from an SUV who appeared to be robin hood.
"holy crap. there are cosutmes involved."
we plod through the slush a block and a half to be greeted by, you guessed it, MORE COSTUMED PEOPLE... handing us ballot to vote for the best costume. "don't make eye contact, don't put out your hand," i warn abbey.
they ask us if we want to buy an ALL DAY ticket.
i should tell you this -- i love movies. LOVE 'EM. and i probably could spend all day in a theater. however i don't know if i could say that about the LOTR trilogy, much less making my child do the same. we opted not to buy the day pass and go with the one ticket for one show deal.
abbey loves getting nachos and cheese at a movie, so we did that and felt good about the amount of salt we were taking in.
we walk into the theater. PACKED. totally packed. 500 plus people. many of them in full garb. children, even... oh, the humanity.
the movie starts. abbey is enthralled by the cinematography, the costumes, the nacho chips.
then the movie got kicked in and i think i forgot that the movie was really just one battle scene after another, b/c DAMN, did abs get nervous. holy crap! so right after the scary horse-riding, black cape wearing, screeching things stormed the Prancing Pony, we fled.
poor kid! i tried to talk to her in the theater foyer about how she knows so much about movies, there are ways to avoid being scared, but she would not be swayed.
so in the car home we talked about how music and sound effects did a good job of making a scene scary. her words:"it did a good job...of kicking me out of the theater!"
i love the movies.

one down, 364 to go
it is the first day of the new year and i have played with kids, eaten kick-ass cereal (count chocula!) and napped for a couple of hours. not a bad way to spend the first day of 2006.
of course, when i was my kiddo's age, i thought by the year 2006 i'd be flying around in a hovercraft or a space car, so maybe i should consider 2006 a let-down? nah. 2006 has been pretty good to me thus far. and i hope it has started out nice for all of you, too.
