This evening I ran into Cerra by chance at the mall. I had been headed to the grocery store, and invited her along to share in the cheesecake I would get. It was quite nice to sit down and enjoy some cheesecake (in the cookie dough variety, no less) with one of my friends rather than eating it alone. Company always makes any activity more enjoyable for me.
Diarist . net has some interesting suggestions that may inspire you in your journals. One that I discovered was titled “Heart Vitals.” It says to write a resumé for your heart and ask, “What kind of ‘job’ is it looking for? Seasonal training? Long-term development? What are its skills? Crisis management? Endurance? Outreach?” It seems like a worthy endevour, and I believe I may alter it to refer to soul and give it a try. I know I’m sick of looking at my physical resume.
Lenny Kravitz’s new album, Baptism, is quite enjoyable, and quite possibly his finest release to date. It’s filled with the sort of songs you should expect from Mr. Kravitz, but it’s the most consistant and pleasing collection of songs. “Minister of Rock ‘n Roll” opens the disc with an anthemic yell, while “I Don’t Want To Be A Star” comes in with the contrast of melody and theme that makes Lenny Kravitz such an interesting artist. “Where Are We Running,” the first single from the album, is as radio-worthy as Krazitz’s numerous other hits, and would be on my summer party mix if I planned to make such a thing or attend any parties. The title track kicks off the second half of the album with another superb ballad, which is followed up with a horn-blaring anthem in “Flash.” “Destiny” closes the disc with a longing song of affirmed self that provides a proper end to an album that explores the range of Kravitz’s musical talent. If you enjoy any of Lenny’s singles, this is an album you’ll want to pick up.

There should be some books listed in Farnborough, Hampshire, UK. Those were ones my friend and I did. You could do it in the station, you might like to have a word with them first, though, so they don’t run after you telling you you’ve forgotten your book.
Cheesecake was good, as well, we should do it again sometime.
And you will find a job soon, Halifax is a horrible place to try and find a job in. Try not to hate your physical resume too much.
I was thinking of leaving the book discretely so that no one would notice it right away. That would stop the being chased down.
Cheesecake is always good, and I’m certainly up for sharing some any time you’d like.
I certainly hope you are right about finding a job. It’s been extremely frustrating.
I guess it would stop the chasing. I might try and get some books together and leave them on the train. It would be interesting to see if they would go very far.
I’ll make a cheesecake sometime.
I can understand your frustration.
I think I’ll try to find some more books myself to leave. Anything I can’t sell on ebay will be fair game.
Thanks. It’s just an old photo bluescaled.
🙂 I’m quite glad as well. Company’s a nice thing to have,
I would enjoy that very much. Someday you really must visit here.
Excellent 🙂
You know, i always enjoy your posts so much! There is often cool links to fun sites, pics, well written ideas and thoughts, and so much realness and feeling in the more personal entries. Thanks again for sharing all that!
On a different note…i adore Lenny Kravitz…i might just have to actually purchase it. I like the way he rocks, yet his lyrics are always so heartfelt.
oh oh, and i do book crossing too! except i also had trouble trying to figure out where to leave the books! i was gonna leave one at the coffee house once, when i noticed on the end table were 3 other books with the bookcrossing labels on them…lol. I guess everyone in my neighborhood had the same idea! I think the train station is a good idea! Think about it…it could get on a train with someone and end up who knows where!! :))
I’m thankful you enjoy my posts. I can’t tell you how good it feels to know someone appreciates what I share here.
I’ve enjoyed Lenny since back in the day. I think “Rock And Roll Is Dead” was the song that got me hooked permanently, though.
Yeah, I think the train station will be a good place to leave a book. The one I’m intending to leave is a bit of a mind-fuck, so to speak, so it’d be interesting to see how someone might react to it.
I thought you might get a kick out of this…
My daughter was watching MTV’s brand spanking new videos this morning…i heard a familiar voice and catchy tune…i went and saw who i assumed was Andre 3000 of Outkast pretending to be a cross between Lenny Kravitz and Prince. I’m thinking, you know, what’s up with me, how come I’m digging Outkast? Then I see the arm tattoos…it’s the end, credits roll…it’s Lenny! Wow, he looks different!! But the tune was awesome!
(and yep, i enjoy your posts very much!)
that’s funny too about the book being a mind fuck! The one i left was also, called “posession” lol.
Yeah, Lenny looks quite different in that video. I think it was intentionsl.
