Sorry for being so M.I.A.Work was nuts last week and when I did have time to write, I didn't really feel like I had anything of interest to report.Which has never stopped me before, I know.So with no cool, or touching, or hysterical stories to report, I'm relying on the "random update" standby.ONE.My friend Lesli and I saw the movie Whip It last night and while it's not likely to win any major awards, it's a fun chick flick and any fan of Ellen Page will overlook weak movie-moments just to watch her own Juliet Lewis's character, Maggie Mayhem, on the roller derby track. Able to apply my basic knowledge of roller derby (thanks to Sarat and Suzy who've taken me to a few Big Easy Rollergirl bouts in New Orleans), I cheered as Bliss, Ellen's high school character, shoved and hip checked girls to earn "lead jammer" points.

I can't believe I'm going to post these photos from last night's White Trash Party.In fact, I'm betting most of my friends will likely kill me and never hang out with me again once they realize I'm really sharing these atrocities with the world.

My neighbor Pat called last weekend and invited us to Disco Coffee. When pressed for a definition, she replied:"Well, it's amazing coffee, friends and DISCO MUSIC, of course!"Of course.

Ketchn' Up.

The Wishful Writer  Nov 01 09

Oy. Has it been more than a week?!Somewhere in between work, deciding to paint our bedroom in two days (hi cathedral ceilings), planning a kick-ass cabin trip for 20 crazy women over the Halloween weekend, preparing to receive new bedroom furniture, drinking copious amounts of Diet Coke and packing to head to Atlanta (again), the week totally got away from me.
