My friend Melissa is writing a screenplay. The movie kind of takes off of ideas in Waking Life. What if our two realities, dream and consciousness, merged? I said to her...The Matrix? But her vision for it is so much different and i'm excited for her. If I can get her to give me some of the script I'll post it. I thought I should tell you this because this morning I woke up. Well, there's more. This morning I woke up and when I looked up from brushing my teeth I realized I had a scratch that stretched from the corner of my right eye to my hairline. Very simliar to what I imagine Cleopatra's eyeliner to look like, but red instead of black. How very odd I thought.

Today I had to turn the airconditioning on in my car. Today I had to turn the airconditioning on in my car>???!!!!! March 8th....shouldn't it be snowing or something? Oh but i'm so thankful to be wearing sandals and a skirt and not be worrying about wet hair turning to icicles when i walk out the door.

Today I walked into a coffee shop and my eyes began to throb as they adjusted to the dim lighting from the sunny sun they were recently bathing in. And I thought to myself, while drinking iced tea, about "adjusting to the dark". And I wondered if we, if I, do something so a similar in my own life. There are times I am so emerged in the light, when I step away it's painful, so painful I have to shut my eyes. But if I stay out of the light long enough, I can live in the dark, I can still see and function and do everything I was doing in the light, but it all looks different. All the colors change and I get so comfortable with these colors that when it occurs to me that I need to get out in the light again, I fear going blind and consider never going out again.

Lacey has been so kind to share with me Waterdeep. I reccomend it with all of me.

off to a potluck!
