this annual gathering is a delight to look foward to. great dosage of laughter and enjoyable comfortable company always. today it was dinner and ice cream at holland v and watching skycaptain and the world of tomorrow at s's house. such a beautiful film, must have been breathtaking on the big screen. film noir type with the romantic sepia washes, very seductive. chemistry with this group is sealed, i dont' know why i wanted so much to keep the group going, beginning remnants but i'm glad i did. gone are the teen insecure awkwardness, here, and now, conversation flows easy, rapport sits easy on the skin, and the friendship bonds dig deeper.


i'm not really into coupland. i feel the connection at times, i celebrate his many comments. too much feels too contrived though. i think, i want more epic moral story types, tolstoy or balzac. i'm a classics kid.

carols by candlelight tomorrow. first, a complusory mid-morning run.
