Spring break is at hand and I feel like it's simultaneously going slow and fast at the same time. If I'm completely honest, I'm restless, bored, and un-motivated. Why didn't I plan to travel somewhere? I wish I could just pack my suitcase, right now, and go somewhere far, far away from here. I mean far. I've been playing Over the Rhine's "Suitcase." The lyrics don't really match what I'm feeling, but they make me think about leaving nonetheless...."What'cha doin' with a suitcase? Trying to hit the ground with both feet running...? Stealing away on a sunny day." Hmmmmmm. Anywhere but here.
It's been a year since I've watched the Beatrix Potter movie and I'm fighting a big urge to buy it and watch it again.
I watched Changeling last night with a new friend from work and I liked it. It was about three hours long and I wanted to scream out of frustration the whole time, but it was powerful and had a lot to say about women's rights and struggles in the twenty's and the corruption of the law enforcement system at the time.
I met with the jail book club tonight. One woman broke down right there in the room. :( Everytime I leave those grey walls and locked doors I breathe a little deeper remembering what it means to be free to choose what I eat, where I go, when I wake up every morning. There are some major inequality issues between men and women in some prisons/jails. I'm thinking of ways I can help to change it.
Nana sliced three of my fingers today. jerk.
