Bounce

I'm trying to bounce back from the recent upheaval in my life, but it's not as easy as it should be.  All I can do is grin (somewhat) and bear (for the most part).  It seems she's bounced back sooner than I expected despite all that we've been through, and I'm still testing my abilities.  It feels like having to learn a basic function all over again after having taken it for granted all these years.  It's fricking hard.  Possibly the hardest thing I must endure.

On a lighter note, check out talented artist James Butterworth and his latest album entitled "Songs for Kahlan," inspired by Legend of the Seeker Cara/Kahlan ship.  This is a must for all you die-hard Cara/Kahlan shippers!

Wake me when it's all over...

Tabrett Bethell

Tabrett Bethell

Meet Tabrett Bethell.

Now do you understand why I'm absolutely enthralled by this woman?  Go ahead.  Take your time.  Zoom in.  Zoom out.  Assess the situation.  Take all the time you need, but I know it won't take long for you to come around.  Tabrett Bethell is absolutely stunning!  AND she's a brilliant actress!

If you haven't already seen it, you MUST watch Legend of the Seeker!  Tabrett plays the role of Mord'Sith Cara Mason, a fearless and loyal ally to the Seeker fighting to save humankind from evil.  Tabrett Bethell's portrayal of Cara is deathly serious balanced with the right amount of wit and humor.

Cara

Tabrett Bethell IS Cara Mason.  She was the perfect choice for that role.

Tabrett Bethell makes me swoon.  And Cara Mason makes me giggle and swoon.  LoL  I think I'll watch Seasons 1 and 2 of Legend of the Seeker again because I'm in dire need of a Tabrett Bethell/Cara/LotS fix.  My sweet addiction.  Sigh.  I'm such a dork.  LoL

P.S.  If you happen to take my advice about watching Legend of the Seeker, you'll no doubt notice the extreme subtext underlying each scene between Cara and Kahlan, the Mother Confessor (played by the beautiful and talented Bridget Regan).  These two have excellent chemistry!

Kahlan & Cara

Tabrett Bethell ROCKS!

Random and Mundane

I thought I'd post something, anything really, minus the reflective nature of my usual posts.  The past few posts were especially written in an attempt to make sense of life, to give voice to the fragmented thoughts in my head.  With this post, I simply want to share random, mundane thoughts and facts of my life.  Here goes...

I can't seem to get "Kiss with a Fist" by Florence and the Machine out of my head.  It's a brilliant song!  I feel like dancing around kicking the air and waving my fists around when I listen to it.  Is it odd that it makes me want to kiss BB with my fist and then set fire to our bed?  Of course, I have no intention of playing out that thought...I think.  At least I can think fondly of Cara and Kahlan's fight!sex scene in "Desecrated" (season 2, episode 16) of the Legend of the Seeker TV series when I hear that song.  What subtext!  But I digress!  Anyway, the song is playing on repeat as I type this post.

Can I just say how much I love Tabrett Bethell?  She's absolutely stunning and brilliant!  I wonder if she kept the red leather Mord'Sith suit when the Legend of the Seeker TV series ended?  Role-playing anyone?  *giggles*

With the external floppy disk drive I got for Christmas, I finally accessed the stories and journal I wrote during my years in New York City and my early years in Sin City.  I read a story I wrote back in 2003, and it touched my heart.  Sometimes, I surprise even myself.  I think I have a knack for this.  Hopefully, I can make something out of it.

I hate to admit that BB and I aren't compatible, but we are.  We are as different as night and day.  Her interests differ from mine.  For example, she loves action movies, and I love foreign films.  She reads magazines, and I read classic literature.  She has a GED, and I have a JD.  I could go on and on about how different we are, but I believe that's the beauty and essence of our relationship.  We complement one another.  She's the yin to my yang, completing me, making me whole.  We are one.  And I don't think I could ever scream anyone else's name except hers in the throes of ecstasy.  Where I have a way with the spoken word, she has a way with the tongue.  She satiates me completely.

I finished Wizard's First Rule by Terry Goodkind.  It was by far better than I had anticipated, and I can't wait to read the next book!  The Legend of the Seeker TV series deviates greatly from the Sword of Truth book series, and I'm excited to be discovering a whole new world.  Yay!

I hope to visit New York City in February 2011.  *fingers crossed*  I <3 NYC!

I'm debating if BB and I should ring in the new year on the Strip with her co-workers.  I've never celebrated New Year's Eve on the Strip in all the years I lived here.  It's kind of daunting, all those people in a confined space.  The traffic will be horrendous.  And what of the pressing matter of potty breaks?  The casinos will close their doors to everyone but their guests a couple of hours before midnight.  The horror!  I can't believe I'm more worried about finding a clean bathroom to use instead of the drunkenness and degradation that will no doubt surround me.  Actually, this bizarre paranoia sounds exactly like me.

Sometimes, I wish we had stuck to our initial policy of having only one four-legged child.  Harper I can handle, but Artemis and Mercutio are an entirely different story.  Sigh.  I take it back.  How could we live without Artemis and Mercutio in our lives?  They drive me crazy, but I love my boys.

Speaking of my boys, it's time I end this post before they get into some kind of mischief that will have me pulling at my hair...again. 

It feels good to let it all out.
