peaceful sights smells the woosh of sounds all blurred together as we cruised down the highway i stopped being afraid i just experienced the ride as the road wound its way to the coast i heard my friend s words in my ears and i leaned into those turns as a bike tilts towards the ground while taking a turn you ll be temped to do what you should do on a boat which is shift your weight in the other direction you have to fight that intuitive action and just trust physics to do its thing you lean into the curve it s what s right even if it feels wrong posted by christine at saturday june 19

daughter was just eating carrots without being asked or prompted or begged or bribed her sixth birthday was last week and it s as if some switch was flipped she s proud of being a big kid and she voluntarily seeks out situations where she can demonstrate her new big kidness she knew i d be thrilled and so she skipped over so i could watch watch her chomp down happily look mom chomp chomp chomp i told her how happy i was because carrots are so good for you they are good for your skin and your hair and your eyes i blathered on she nodded i decided to dial it down a notch so i said i mean bunnies like carrots right she nodded again and have you ever seen a bunny with glasses she shook her head crunching on her carrot so carrots must be good for your eyes right she nodded and bounced away oh my she nodded and bounced away she usually catches me when i try to pull a fast one over on her like that i thought she d roll her eyes and say mooooooooooooooom that s silly but she didn t she nodded and bounced away someday not tonight but someday it will be the last time she buys my goofiness i won t know it at the time but it will happen i m glad it wasn t tonight posted by christine

1176 whether it was a good idea or not etc i do know it was sponsored by assemblyman tom ammiano and that he and schwarzenegger have a rather contentious relationship check out schwartzenegger s written veto emphasis mine to the members of the california state assembly i am returning assembly bill 1176 without my signature f or some time now i have lamented the fact that major issues are overlooked while many u nnecessary bills come to me for consideration water reform prison reform and health c are are major issues my administration has brought to the table but the legislature just k icks the can down the alley y et another legislative year has come and gone without the major reforms californians o verwhelmingly deserve in light of this and after careful consideration i believe it is u nnecessary to sign this measure at this time sincerely arnold schwarzenegger posted by christine at thursday october 29 2009 no comments labels politicians suck randomness totally irrelevant nonsense 2009 10 01 the wagons are circling around roman polanski as an undergrad i had an amazing english professor he was one of those rare educators who manage to not only make the course syllabus come alive but also enlighten in ways that reach far beyond the classroom he was intense demanding insightful ruthless dramatic and above all else passionate once in a while this immortal of immortals as we called him would step out of the small upper level literature classes from which i knew him and teach to an auditorium that allowed non english majors the subject the films of roman polanski it was interesting to watch him in this different venue speaking directly into a microphone instead of with a carefully staged whisper trading the squeak of leather shoes on worn wooden floors for gestures amplified for an audience of 250 frankly it was wildly entertaining for us ever so special english majors to see him devour unsuspecting math paych bio art whatever majors who thought that this was going to be an easy a with his calculated retorts to what they thought was an adequate comment adequate didn t compute with immortal of immortals nothing set him into a tirade more than when someone tried to explain the actions of an antagonist with an offhanded he s crazy of course immortal of immortals loved this he d set up his audience with the question what do you think motivated insert antagonist s name here to insert whatever fucked up thing the character did inevitably a newbie to immortal would raise their hand and say the dreaded word crazy and off he d go why would this author spend months perhaps years of their lives crafting this work this character to have them be so readily dismissible as simply crazy do you not think the author was trying to convey a message with this creation why would they bother to conceive construct and manifest this character this situation this oeuvre if not to convey a message i highly doubt the message is that the character is quote crazy as you ve likely heard roman polanski has been in the news recently because of the aforementioned class i ve got more than a soft spot for him as an artist that being said in 1977 roman polanski age 43 had in his care a 13 year old girl her mother dropped her off at polanski s house as the the famous director was supposed to take photographs of the child for a vogue session as it happens roman polanski fed her wine and quaaludes then despite her protestations and begging him to stop he raped and sodomized her repeatedly he violated her in multiple ways polanski skipped the country to avoid sentencing he s been living in paris for the past 30 years continuing with his directing career and raising a family last week however he got nabbed by the swiss and is sitting in jail waiting to find out if he ll be extradited to the united states to face the music astonishingly there are plenty of people who are defending polanski s actions and who believe his actions shouldn t be considered criminal take whoopi goldberg for example she claimed on the view that the drugging raping and sodomizing wasn t rape rape really have you read the court transcripts of her account ms goldberg sounds like rape rape to me i thought you were a woman s rights advocate huh maybe she agrees with joan z shore s huffington post article but there is more to this story read more at http www huffingtonpost com joan z shore polanskis arrest shame on_b_301134 html the 13 year old model seduced by polanski had been thrust onto him by her mother who wanted her in the movies ummmm statutory rape isn t seduction by definition and roman admitted that the girl was begging to be let go doesn t sound like any case can be made for seduction and so freaking what if the mother wanted her daughter in the movies ms shore s bio says she is a co founder of women overseas for equality belgium i d laugh if i wasn t so disgusted by her some make the case that polanski should be granted leniency because his childhood in the krakow ghettos ended with the loss of his mother at a nazi concentration camp and years later his happy marriage to sharon tate ended with her brutally murdered while pregnant at the hands of the manson family unspeakable unbearable horrors for certain but that doesn t mean he should get a pass at abusing others john farr s defense of polanski also at the huffington post even goes so far as to say and unless there s something we don t yet know for instance that he actually wanted to be arrested to gain some sort of late life expiation of his past sins then it s clear he thought he was safe going to switzerland to accept that award so because he wasn t anticipating being arrested it s not fair that he was arrested seriously by extension that means unless he turned himself in voluntarily no arrest would ever be fair sadly according to this petition press release filmmakers actors producers and technicians everyone involved in international filmmaking want him to know that he has their support and friendship signatures include woody allen david lynch martin scorsese wim wenders and hundreds of others this press release also states roman polanski is a french citizen a renown and international artist now facing extradition this extradition if it takes place will be heavy in consequences and will take away his freedom yes it just might take away his freedom jail s like that the greater point is however the first sentence roman polanski is a renown and international artist that s the crux of the issue for each of polanski s defenders from the above mentioned to all of the others who are rallying behind roman he s famous he s talented he s one of us their hypocrisy is deafening if you ve seen rosemary s baby 1968 you remember the demonic rape scene in which rosemary played by mia farrow realizes this hallucination isn t a dream but it s really happening it s hard for me to reconcile that the director who so accurately and sensitively portrayed the horror of being drugged and raped is the same man who did just that to a 13 year old girl but maybe it shouldn t be art imitates life and vice versa no while i heard variations of this speech many times this is obviously not verbatim in fact i think i can safely say that if immortal of immortals read it he d be mortified that the quote was attributed to him he was far more succinct and erudite my best guess is he d have given me an a for content but a d for execution posted by christine at thursday october 01 2009 5 comments labels celebs roman polanski 2009 08 14 crazy girl one of the things i love most about where i live is that i can be on the coast in an hour or so the ocean is the closest thing my brain has to a reset button the last time i was fortunate to be seaside my children and i were huddled in a make shift tent of blankets and towels the wind was whipping so fiercely the next day i was wishing i could market it but there s nothing like nature s free dermabrasion anyway as we were trying to keep sand from gouging our eyeballs while still making castles a man with a huge backpack and a tiny dog settled down not far from us he pulled a large orange tarp like thing out from his backpack and flapped it open we couldn t figure out what it was a tent a raft a kite with what looked like a bike tire pump he proceeded to pump this thing up it ended up looking like a giant pair of bat wings we still didn t know what it was he threw some sand on it to weigh it down and he left with his dog at his heals a few more people came along and soon the beach was dotted with these things the things turned out in fact to be kites the people in fact were surfers surfers who used the wind as well as waves to propel them kitesurfers watching them launch from the beach into the pacific was breath taking one minute they were standing on the shore all laden with hooks and ropes attached to large swaths of fabric and the next they were dancing on water i watched and i drooled i swear my muscles were twitching just aching to experience that gliding over the water jumping into the air and diving back into waves they were both surfing and flying eventually a woman strode onto the beach and began the same ritual of pulling out the tarp pumping of the bike pump at this point however the winds had picked up even more and her tarp was whipping around making it hard for her to keep it attached to the pump i watched for a few moments and then headed towards her can i help i asked for a moment she was quiet she looked at me without expression there was enough time for me to wonder if she was silent because she hadn t heard or if my intrusion was unwelcome i explained myself by gesturing to the wind she broke out into a smile and said that would be great grab this part here i grabbed the wrong part no here sorry why did i apologize i need to work on that no problem right here she asked me have you seen us kite from here before no it looks amazing it must be incredibly physically demanding it is i am crazy i am a crazy girl this is what i ve chosen i m a crazy girl i didn t chose to stay home and crochet or cook or have kids i chose this okay honestly for a split second i felt a bit defensive yet there was nothing judgmental in her delivery she was clearly thinking out loud but for the rest of that second and for the following minutes i chatted with amazing woman as we got her gear in order she shared about kitesurfing and i talked about my life eventually she also threw some sand on her kite and went off to put on a wetsuit she asked me if i d be able to hold up the kite when it was time for her to launch i gushed that i would love to the concept of being a part of this experience however tangentially thrilled me i filled my kids in on the details they weren t able to hear and waited for her to come back i kept my eye out for her as we built more castles as i read to my little one or read my own book as my boy read to her as we shared some sandy sandwiches but then i saw her crazy girl in the water slipping her feet into her board while another wet suited person held up her kite somehow i d missed her reappearance on the beach and i d lost my chance the disappointment crept over me as i watched her take off gliding across the water i looked at my kids arguing about how best to build a moat for their sandcastle no the moat should be a circle and we make a river to the water noooooo we bring the water to the moat no no even as i started to intervene to make sure their argument didn t continue to escalate i was aware that i was so glad i chose to be the crazy girl with kids with every choice there is a loss reset button pushed posted by christine at friday august 14 2009 3 comments labels holidays me thinking parenthood vacations 2009 08 12 did i mention my calfs are full of spider bite welts earlier today i was watching a spider as it slowly slooooowly crawled up a wall i considered my options we re a no kill zone when it comes to spiders in our home we strictly capture and release my husband and i have always made a bit of a deal about it for our kids bye bye spider now you can be outside with your family and friends and not be stuck inside have fun yes we really say that honestly then since we re already outside we usually decide to barbeque generally either tri tip or ribs yummm anyway i m watching this spider painstakingly make it s way up the wall it took forever then i literally gasped as it suddenly plunged to the floor in front of my eyes at that point i started to feel guilty for the moments i considered grabbing it with a wad of tissue and flushing it down the toilet don t tell anyone but i sometimes do that when the kids are in bed in my defense i say i m sorry spider i hope you are like nemo and make your way out of this mess yes i really say that honestly but the spider...
