on the road.

 i'm not sure why it took so long for me to see this movie, but i finally did and i am only going to say one thing about it: perfect. 

so watch it. love it. then watch it again. and love it even more.

the only people for me are the mad ones,

the ones who are mad to live.

mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of

everything at the same time,

the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but

burn, burn, burn,

like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding

like spiders across the stars...

cottage days & cottage nights.

without a doubt, my favourite week of each year for the last 7 years, has been our cottage week away. last year i chatted about a lot of the reasons why, and all of them still hold firm and true -- i guess it's the consistency of it all that makes me yearn for this perfectly simple week away. maybe it's the fact that it has started to feel a little more like home each time we make the trip and share it with one another...a home away from home, and that's the best kind if you ask me.

brb.
