faith

Grace (eventually) Thoughts on faith by Anne Lamott. a great read by a great writer. i had previously read her "how to" writing books, but here is where she demonstrates her own "how tos". a thoughtful woman of great expereince. i am also reading her operating instructions now, about her son sam and his first year of life. entertaining, and brings back memories!

among the missing

where have i been? concert concert concerts! a great choral season came to a close sat eve/sun afternoon with the newburyport choral society's performance of handel's coronation anthes and the vaughan williiams dona nobis pacem. moving performances, and a great musical experience for yours truly. i am so glad i am singing! can't wait for fall, although i am already looking forward to a nice summer off.

stuff!

Okay, so I just finished Augusten Burrough's Sellevision. The first non autobiographical book i have read by him. very funny. a little slow in places, and i kept looking for more hidden plot twists. but a good read if only for the product descriptions, sold on the shop at home channel where most of the protagonists work (or get fired from!).

ping pong

Mongolian Ping Pong (DVD) - loved it! subtitled, in tibetan? kids in rural mongolia find a ping pong ball, don't know what it is, find out it is the national ball of china, think it is THE national ball of china, and strive to return it to beijing. kinda slow moving, but i loved the blank expressions on the kids faces when they just had NO idea what they were looking at.

tomorrow, runway season 2 marathon - i have them on dvd, isn't it funny i like to watch them on tv still? season 3 is rumored to be released in june, and season 4 starts in august! yay!
