It's been a very busy weekend. Friday=Lisa/NYC. Saturday=Dad+Minuchin. Saturday night=Fred. Sunday=Fred+gym+Deb-sleep, and I'm definitely older than I think. The picture is from the lecture hall as SCSU. Two best quotes of the Minuchin talk (for me, and it's a tough choice), "You can't tell her how to be. You can tell her what you want." and, "Repitition, it is the intensity of repitition that sings...don't make it a Russian novel." And as for Fred...well, there are some things that are better in the doing than in the telling.
I'm exhausted and I need to get myself out the door to meet Dad and spend the day with Salvatore Minuchin.
Went to the city last night and met Lisa at the Met...lots to show and tell, but until I have more time, this will have to suffice.

I recently joined the blogger support group on yahoo, as mentioned on blogger.com. I have been having problems uploading images with blogger pro for two days. This morning (if the pic does go up), blogger has been repaired. I found the yahoo board very helpful and very supportive.
I have a playday today...off to Winsted and then to NYC to see Lisa S. Really looking forward to seeing her. All kinds of other news too, but wanna wait until the caffeine takes effect.

I'm very frustrated today (about a lot of things) but I'll focus on the unfortunate posting situation. I woke up around 6:20 am to a very soft, foggy morning. I took pictures of the trees and fog, looking forward to posting them before work. Well I tried to post but got a strange error message. I tried posting to a different blog, hosted on a different server, only to encounter the same message. I sent the pics to work and tried posting the image files to each of the blogs there with no luck. Now, hours later, I've tried again. Same error message. I am hugely disappointed. I know this is not a tragedy, but as I've said, it's frustrating and I want my blog back!

This is what I was seeing this morning...which is almost not seeing anything. Only better.

I never left the house on Sunday and from where I sat, it was all just a little rainy outside. Nothing like being in my own little world. Most of the land two miles from my house looked like this and I handn't a clue. There are people who they expect to be without power for four days?! I read an interesting article about photologs. After reading the book by Rebecca Blood I felt a bit inferior because I haven't been staying up late at night trying to figure out where I stand in the cultural debate regarding blogs. I just post 'em as I see 'em.

There's no way, regardless of my youthful appearance, that I'm going to look appropriate in certain styles. This is why, women of my age frequently begin to turn their fashion attention span towards their daughters. I have never been known for my fashion sense, regardless of my age. And my daughters have it all over me on this anyway (Mom?! You're not really going to wear that to work, are you??!). So for now, I'll stick to the all black wardrobe, puctuated by acts of polar fleece, and I'll take the rest of my dressing out, a version of acting out, and throw it all over my blog. just having a little fun.

I've added blogrolling to my source code so all my links can be added by a simple mouse click (never have to edit the code to add a link!) Don't you just love those guys who have no life and write this stuff??? I do.

Went to the GW Tavern with Christa, Dee and Pamela last night. Dee had the blue martini she desired. Later, Pamela and I saw the movie Frida at Bantam Cinema. I liked the way Julie Taymor used dream-like collage sequences to evoke Frida's emotions in some situations. She used an emotional lexicon similar to the artist's paintings only translated into film. One sequence began with Frida watching King Kong. Taymor wove this theme of the beauty being tormented by the beast throughout the second half of the film with the same lyrical and dynamic poetic force of Frida's paintings. Selma Hayek and Alfred Molina did incredible work and it is a movie that will influence my thoughts for some time.

I had a conversation with Joe B. yesterday about the group I ran regarding communication at WS. He was very moved, excited, and hopeful that finally things were going to change around here. Since that group two weeks ago, I've been though a lot and I understand things a little differently. It's not going to change around here. It is what it is and it is this way because collectively, we like it this way. All of the ambiguity provides us each with copious opportunities to do our own thing. The conversation went on for a while and we spoke about 'the situation here' from many different angles. Joe would really like to make the place better. As I said to H before he left for vacation, my role in all this is to 'enhance to awareness of the perception of satisfaction'. I actually may have said, "enhance the illusion..." The end result of this exchange for me is this: asking the question is the answer. By asking the people here how they really feel about their experience and being there to listen without judgement, my observation is, that as a result of these exchanges, many people do feel better about being here. So just by asking the question, I've done my job. Or a job. Or something that may be construed as a potential future action item to be discussed and considered and then delegated to those who actually know how to procrastinate.

This was taken a while ago in the bookstore. It is my first official photo post. :)

I've added a new pop up window in which i can post from anywhere without logging into blogger. I'm truly convinced that this makes me special even though the honeys at blogger provided the code.
