this side of the blue

i can't believe May is nearly over! but you know what that means--it's almost my birthday again! but, UGH, 25, man. a quarter of a century. alright, i can deal with wrinkles, discovering hair in scary places, i can even deal with spider veins. BUT GREY HAIR. shudder. maybe i'll get really lucky and inherit the never-got-a-grey-hair-in-her-life-even-when-she-was-in-her-coffin from my paternal grandmother. here's to hoping.

went to St. Augustine today! it's the first time i've ever went alone, and it definitely felt different. but still, it beats sitting on my ass with Clementine on my lap. i bought a couple cute things--a nightlight for my room, some chocolate, a handmade bracelet for Eva, a sterling silver handmade bracelet for me, and a little miniature cat thing which opens on top to put things in for my desk at work. i also walked around the fort, something i've never done before since it isn't wheelchair accessible.




watched Imitation of Life last night. it's an older movie with Sandra Dee. i rented it off Netflix sort of by mistake. i had meant to put Harold and Maude on top of my queue and forgotten, and it was the next one on my list. Netflix predicted i would love it though, and i do love me some Sandra Dee so i watched it. but eh. it was waaay too dramatic for my taste. and that sounds weird, because i absolutely LOVE some older movies that happen to be really dramatic. [Whose Afraid of Virginia Woolf, Suddenly Last Summer, Gone With the Wind, etc]. so maybe it wasn't the dramatics i didn't like, just the acting which was second-rate. yes sirree. but i found it interesting nonetheless. it obviously held my attention. butterscotch out of ten.
