Sometimes I pretend... - Page 3

"Outdoor Cinema on the Pont Neuf with movies projected onto the Seine. Tickets include foot passage over the bridge. Clement weather only, April through October. Viewing times dependent upon sunset and smoothness of the river. Well known for continuous screenings of Orpheaus. Bring your own chair.

The Pont Neuf cinema became an historical edifice when one night's screening slipped away from the projector and started to flow gently down the Seine. The audience, without hesitation, leapt up and ran along the embankment so as not to miss a moment of the movie's journey downriver.

A pillow on our visible bed. The fish looks into the dream, the pillow turns into a miniature air mattress and floats down the Seine, with a doll as passenger. It just so happens the Pont Neuf cinema is showing a midnight series, and the doll floats into one of the movies ad finds what she's looking for: a stolen watch in Les Enfants du Paradis."

Me too. I wish I was a JAP, just for a day, then, going back to normal.

All that glittery makeup, being High Maintenance. And a JAP name like, Fern or Diamond.

I'm in a strange situation at work. I had a falling out with the CEO of my ex-employer; the new company hired me as a contractor right away and is figuring out a F/T position for me. I might be an individual contributor, or might be the Software Director of the engineering managers. My case for directorship is that I have more experience with what they building than anyone else. It's an all-star company, so one has to make a strong case.

The last time I did that I got fired. Three of us dressed up as one of the other girls at work. One of the others got fired too. The Mavericks don't last at that company.

No, I need a fresh start at this new place.

Aging has never bothered me. But having had my three score & ten,(plus a couple more), I'm not so chuffed with it.
I ain't wiser. Far from it.

Sometimes I pretend that I actually have my shit together and know where I put it.

I like to pretend to be a cat. My cat always gets excited when I do this and has become friendlier as a result. Sometimes I try to block out all the signs and buildings and power lines and pretend I can see the world around me the way it was before all the people cluttered it up. I also pretend I am performing for an audience when I practice but I don't think it will help me be any less nervous when the time comes to do it for real.

I occasionally practice my witty banter to be used when I appear on The Tonight Show in conjunction with publication of my brilliant and successful novel.

Argh, yea, our 120 lb dog sometimes comes inside smelling "fragrant". We send her right outside and take her to Pet Club for a quick wash. Summertime, we just hose her down in the backyard.

There's definitely something of the Phtrethnog, of the race of Drarth that dwells upon the planet Snagell 3 in the constellation Kryngax about you, my dear....

I too think I could be an an artist. Well lots of my family can paint so I bought a chinease paint brush kit. I love making bamboo.....and more bamboo....oh and all in the same color too:P

More than a wish. I will probably take a watercolor class one day. Watercolor is vauge and you don't have to worry about lines.

I wish for alot of things:

Play an instrument too.
