Kevin's Watch

Hey Alex! It's Brooke, we talked on the phone yesterday. I just wanted to say I was crushing on Justin Kirk too. He's also awesome in Weeds. But was completely brilliant in Angels in America, and I was so upset when he didn't win the Golden Globe for it.

This is my favorite part, when he was talking to the angels in Heaven, requesting more life...

Prior Walter: Still. Still bless me anyway. I want more life. I can't help myself. I do. I've lived through such terrible times and there are people who live through much worse. But you see them living anyway. When they're more spirit than body, more sores than skin, when they're burned and in agony, when flies lay eggs in the corners of the eyes of their children - they live. Death usually has to take life away. I don't know if that's just the animal. I don't know if it's not braver to die, but I recognize the habit; the addiction to being alive. So we live past hope. If I can find hope anywhere, that's it, that's the best I can do. It's so much not enough. It's so inadequate. But still bless me anyway. I want more life.

Breaks my heart, everytime I watch it.

Alex, you are in my prayers.

PS. Brooke - I love the song in your signature. I recently saw a solo artist called Luka Bloom and he did a stunning version of it - makes me blubber!

It's an awesome song! I have the Garth Brooks version, from the Hope Floats soundtrack.

Like Mom said, you have no idea what you are missing! You should rent it, or better yet, BUY IT!! It has so many brilliant people in it too. Meryl Streep, Al Pacino, Jeffry Wright, Emma Thompson, Mary Louis Parker, Patrick Wilson...and some like Meryl, Jeffry and Emma play several different roles. It's primarily about the early days of AIDS and how it effects two very different people..Prior Walter (Justin Kirk) and Roy Cohn (Al Pacino)...Prior is a young gay man who developes AIDS and because of this his partner leaves him. And Roy is an overbearing middle-aged hatefilled prosecuting attorney who denies he's homosexual and refuses to allow his doctor to label him with AIDS. The way their lives overlap is awesome!

Anyone who hasn't seen this, really should.

Hi Brooke! It's been great talking to you on the phone, Heidi, Jordan and Ryan too. Never had any "sisters or brothers", so this is very cool. Tell Jordan "thank you" for me, it must have been really hard for him to open up to me the way he did about his mom. I know it would have been for me, hell, it IS hard for me to talk about anything that has to do with my past. Your Mom is helping me with that tho.

*blows kisses*

Hey!! We are at 60 pages!!!

Rock on!

As usual, I'm late to the party - but what a party! 60 pages! Woo hoo!

Welcome to this wonderful corner of KW, Alex!

*flips on some REM and grabs an Orange Crush*

Party on!

thanks Matrixman! Happy to be here!

Orange Crush???

Tequilla!!

Oh ick! That stuff is nasty!

Well, something I'm doing is definately not the right thing for a couple of reasons. The first being that I'm dreaming of violent storms, which usually means, for me anyway, that things are about to get difficult again. The second being, I was rocking Meggie late last night (she's sick again. )and all of a sudden I heard Stephen literally shout in my ear. "Tracie! You are going the wrong way!" Now, I have several pots on the fire, and they are all about to boil over, so I'm not exactly sure which one is the "wrong" one. Guess I'll find out. But, must he be so cryptic??

He's worse than Fist...hehehehe

No he's not! I told him to tell you that!!

Oh! Well there ya go...that explains everything!

Maybe it's me?

It absolutely not you! Of that, I am positive!

Ok, if you are sure.

Helping a fellow human being is never the wrong path.

I'm listening to Glen Hansard of The Frames: Falling Slowly, awesome song.

I don't know you
But I want you
All the more for that
Words fall through me
And always fool me
And I can't react
And games that never amount
To more than they're meant
Will play themselves out

Take this sinking boat and point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice you have a choice
You'll make it now

Falling slowly, eyes that know me
And I can't go back
Moods that take me and erase me
And I'm painted black
You have suffered enough
And warred with yourself
It's time that you won

Take this sinking boat and point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice you had a choice
You've made it now
Falling slowly sing your melody
I'll sing along

Love that song, Alex!

Can't wait to meet you today! Myles and I (and probably a few stow-a-ways) will meet you down in Sisters and "guide" you up the mountain.
