“All I wanted was a rent controlled apartment WITHOUT the levitating demons and vile spewing spirits,” the terrified actress whispers while contorting herself into a pretzel under the Donna Karan bedding she bought thinking this would be the place she’d have fabulous dinner parties and impromptu barbecues.

It’s a strange thing—worry. That amidst the daily glorious manifestations of stunning beauty and mystery there is an underlying longing to understand the color of the sunset and just slightly beneath that feeling is the slightest pang of unrightness, the tiniest fear of ongoing angst.

How is it that I can’t shake myself when I am so often trying to mend myself?

And all the while there is the sky. And the mountains and ocean and people scurrying here and there with, I suppose (assume?) burdens much larger or just as large as mine. It’s the stepping outside myself, just beside myself, observing myself that shines a light on the lovely circus it all amounts to. My confusion around being joined and being separate. My constant wonder at the depth of patience I have with myself, rarely. My assumption that I am the only one who is doing this all wrong.

But when I step back from my own lovingly packed drama lunch I am able to say, “Look at the majestic sky. Look at that miraculous color of orange. Look at how it all smushes together to make you go ‘Wow’” And then I know there must be hope for me.

Sometimes on Saturday, after a short bout with the runs and a tummy ache that threatened our ability to sleep as soundly as a sedated possum like we usually do, we like to celebrate our full recovery with a short cheerleading routine, wearing our favorite cheerleading hat, regardless of the fact that the team we’re cheering for has gone straight into the crapper.

Weekend Weather

A general feeling of undeserved vibrancy should last through midweek, at which time the vibrancy will feel much deserved. The way the light telegraphs holy spirits through the trees may or may not affect the jet stream, however that feeling that things are starting to go your way will continue to blow onshore, especially while you’re napping.

The Cupcake Lessons

As you may or may not know, I am a scientist that spends loooooooong nights in the lab wearing a really cute lab coat and hip glasses kind of like Meg Ryan in City of Angels and I am relieved to say that I and my team of special scientist assistants are, at last, ready to reveal our findings regarding what Kim Kardashian and Kanye West will most likely name their child:

1. KayKay
2. Karpet
3. Kapitalism (boy only)
4. Kitty Kat
4. Karshanye
5. KarolK
6. Kris Kringle
7. Kkorkky
8. Kanyeshianette
9. Kalifornia
10. Ken (girl only)

Monday Judgements and Warnings

Cupcake Murphy — Tue, 14 May 2013 01:47:33 +0000

I know it would seem like there should be some things that, no matter where you are or what you’re doing or where you live, there should be certain things that defy time. Like, if you’re 55 you can still like listening to The Bee Gees or if you’re 75 you can still cry the blues about the price of milk—-these things will not take away from your overall credibility.

HOWEVER, there are a few things that DEFY THE DEYING TIME RULE regarding sustaining credibility and these are the Top Five:

1. Wearing leg warmers
2. Playing the song Muskrat Love by Captain and Tennille at a dinner party
3. Having Jean Nate as your favorite fragrance
4. Humming, at any time of the day or night, Wake Me Up Before You Go Go by WHAM!
5. Quoting Jonathan Livingston Seagull

I would never admit this but of the many gazillion things, places, books, poems, people and trees that have assisted me in keeping my wits safely in my noggin, The Clouds and Sky are right up there on my list of almighty preciousness. The way they interact and mingle, without taking anything personally. The way the sun allows the clouds their pervasive nature, still maintaining its blinding presence.

I think they are the perfect couple. The way they just let the other be.

Forever since I can remember I’ve always made it my business to know what The Clouds and Sky are up to. What do they have on their agenda for this evening, I think, hoping for a brilliantly mysterious choreographed show.

The sun goes away and the clouds pass over. The clouds whistle and dance across the sky and my heart pumps out the lyrics of whatever it is they are saying. The two of them together raising some sort of hopeful ruckus, reminding me, pursuing me to remember, urging me beyond all reason to know that there are a thousand ways to be covered in your mother’s arms.
