Currents


Current Book:
Finishing up: The Fall (book two of The Strain Series) by Guillermo Del Toro and Chuck Hogan.  The series is super enjoyable.  I recommend it.  Though the third book does not come out until October and I have stopped short of finishing book two as I know it is going to leave me hanging and totally pissed off.  :)

On deck: Let Me In by John Ajvide Lindqvist
Current CD:
Florence + The Machine Lungs
It lives in my cd player and in mp3 form on my phone.

"There's a ghost in my lungs
And it sighs in my sleep,
Wraps itself around my tongue,
as it softly speaks
then it walks,
then it walks with my legs"

Current Link:
Sock Dreams

Current Desire:
A really real vacation.
I would like to go to Nassau and lay on the beach and drink margaritas at a steady but slow enough pace to maintain a week long state of pleasantly buzzed but still functional.

Current Drink:
Coffee, hot and lightly creamed and lightly sweetened.

Current Bane of My Existence:
Tthe tug of reality.
Justified anger.  Bane as it is justified and yet it feels impotent.  There is no outlet.

Current Wishlist:
2013.
Room to breathe.

Current Favorite Film:
There's nothing going on externally that is visually compelling enough to distract me currently from that which is happening internally.
So, there's that.

Current Color of Toenails:
Gunmetal.
You see, we do have a thing about painting that has nothing to do with sports nor is stolen from another culture... to borrow anothers word/thoughts because it has stuck with me. :)   
I think I enjoy being a girl because I enjoy the subtle art of makeup and the secret here is, the more I paint and the more it is both present yet subtle I am rocking my world though it's totally an internal rocking and while powerful and heady--nobody else would notice the ripples.
And when I paint my nails with gunmetal polish.
...well, seriously.
Gunmetal.
It is its own ritualistic thing.

Current Triumph:
Back to running.  Even now when my lungs feel achey and full.  Not running hard but I'm refusing to give it up this time dammit.  Damn my immune system, damn my anxiety. Damn the pressures of day-to-day existence.  Those things both precious and mundane.  I'm running.  Fuck you.

Current Celebrity Crush:
Noomi Rapace

Current Mood:
Achey... a not so quiet yearning.

It's amazing to me how this is an almost year old cut&paste of a current entry and how many things are still the same.  Still accurate, still present, still with me.

I am not sure if I feel this as a good thing or a bad thing.
Though perhaps it is like most everything else.  Just a thing.

Current Shame Inducing Guilty Pleasure:
Daydreaming.
All the time.
All the time.
All the time.
There's always stuff going on in there.  The quieter I am, generally the more whacked stuff tends to be just going on in there.
These gears never stop turning.
Ever.
