three dog night

90% of all conversations seem to revolve around the weather today. 

I am off to Walgreens for an electric blanket, fire wood and maybe a flu shot.

Until next time,

Agnes

 

 

Long day ahead

This crisp October air easily makes up for all the sleep I didn't have last night. And I haven't even had my coffee yet. Anyway, long day ahead, no plans for tonight... except catching up on Amanda Knox, the iPhone 4S and sleep.

 

'Like a band of gypsies we go down the highway...' thank god it's Friday

Running out the door to a western-themed dinner in South Tampa. 

Honky-tonk done right baby! 

(Who am I kidding, couldn't be more off the mark if I tried, but who cares)

Well, happy labor day ladies and gents, drive safely, buckle up and have an awesome weekend.

Until next time.

Another Monday... and how is it almost September already??

Books just read, being read and waiting to be read: 

 

 
As much as I wish it weren't so, a non-reading spell of sorts is creeping up on me and most of these books will have to wait -- I guess after a book like Shantaram you just don't want to read anything else?  

Well, be that as it may, have a great week ahead everyone, be lucky, chase those dreams, and live like you mean it.

 

Until next time.

good morning world

Thank god it's Friday -- off to meet my realtor, then shifting down into weekend gear in a last minute attempt to make up for a Summer without bonfires.  

Back in the US of A

Smokey is thrilled, I have taken a sudden and inexplicable liking to bright red lipstick, the "one or two cigarettes won't make me a smoker" plan fell through, otherwise not much else is new.

The good news is I managed to gain weight. I am officially back in the three-digit-range: 102 pounds -- god bless Thai food. Only a few more pounds to go... definitely a step in the right direction.

 

The answer my friend is blowing in the wind

Not sure if it's the moody weather or the fact that Geoff's in the hospital [I think Canadians say "in hospital" which I quite like] but there seems to be so much character to everything in life these days.

Coffee spills are the exclusive reason behind my love of dirt cheap shirts. I am a big believer in quality over quantity except when it comes to shirts.  I think it has something to do with my constantly having to maneuver beverages while driving. Especially coffee and carrot juice.

In a perfect world shirts would be disposable.

The last few days the weather's been so soothing to my soul. 

The bay here becomes quite moviesque come Fall and Winter. At least I think so.  

The largest bag I own -- it comfortably houses two laptops, a sweater, and two half gallon water bottles. It feels like I've been living out of this bag these last few weeks. 

I guess that's all. 

Geoff has longer visiting hours on weekends, so thank god it's Friday.

 

Until next time.

Movie night

 

Until next time.

Damaged goods

When not living out of a suitcase, I live for days like this. 

I love Fall in the South. Love it. With my every last chromosome.

Not chromatically picturesque leaf-tumbling wise (which I also love love love) but there's this cool air, warm but cool, no humidity, the tourists vanish and we have our beaches to ourselves.

If I were to settle down in one place for the rest of my life it would have to be some Southern beach town, maybe down in the Caribbean, or maybe in Argentina (never been), somewhere South, somewhere on a low key beach, where you always feel new, where the food is as flavorful as the locals' accent and where every bartender knows that a good reggae cures half the world's blues. 

Until next time.

Agnes

p/s: But I would still have a second home in Malaysia. And other places too...

p/p/s: Please don't make me settle down.

Riders in the storm

These photos paralyze my entire mental activity into the one singular thought of what a great photographer Geoff is. I think I love these photos even more than I loved the storm and did really love the stormy day today. Even though I had to drive home without being able to see anything at all.

Time for a hot bath.

Until next time.
