So one of my fave movies right now is Marie-Antoinette – I have been listening to the Sound Track Non-Stop!  J’adore the “I Love Candy” sequence, because every now and then, i just want clothes, shoes, Jewlery and tons of fatty little cakes and champagne…  without those days we will shrivel up and die… or at least i do…

My work is insane… i have been in the office till 9 or 10pm most nights, when i am not, i am working from home till 2am… Tonight I had to go home sick from stress and fatigue at about 5:30pm (usually that is about 1/2 way through my day) I got home and slept till about 7pm – when I woke up, Moulin Rouge was on tv and i had just been dreaming about Amelie…
I put on my MA soundtrack.. pushed away the lap top and threw all my pillows on the floor, served myself flowering japanese tea on a glass tray with chocolate covered candided orange peels and then followed it up with a small bottle of Sofia Champagne and fresh mango slices with crystal sugar sprinkled all over them…
Just now I lined up my shoes in a row and organized my jewlery… discovered that i have way too much of it…  i gave Pearl (my kitten) some whip cream, she needed a break too…
then i watched The Riches (my new fave tv show- Eddie Izzard, wow… quite a change)… anyway, somedays you need a fix.. whatever your fix is.. treat yourself to it before you are sent home sick.. keep yourself happy…  no one else will do that for you…
I started a new screenplay tonight… i think my creativity is most comfortable in the throws of indulgence…  those candied orange peels were amazingbr>
One thing i know is that even Marie sought out peace and traquility away from the stress and pomp of Versaille.. when i visited Versaille, i was most impressed with her little cottage sanctuary and her music room… as a woman in a world where it really sucks to be a woman.. sometimes finding fulfillment is a moment to moment process… i have alot of friends who seem to think that getting a man is the main goal of life… from what i have seen, it seems like you shouldnt get a man unless you are ready to add even more stress to your life… not that men are all bad, they have their place in life too.. but i think unless you are totally happy and fulfilled and joyous in yourself and your own life, a man is just a complication one can do without… that being said.. a cutey patootee now and then is always a nice addition to cakes and shoes and champagne… and the daily work out (which oddly, i find i enjoy too – i DO mean exercise..)

Think of ways to pamper your brain, your soul, your body, your spirit… and be well.
