Since I started blogging every day in November, someone I know had a baby. Someone else I know has been diagnosed with cancer. Another person is in severe physical pain. One person I know - no, make that two people - are emotionally depressed. Two people I know are in the process of moving to new cities, new houses, and new jobs. One person I know is taking care of her sick mother, another person is taking care of his sick father. Another person's child is recovering from surgery. A child of an acquaintance here fell off her veranda and has been in the hospital.
And I ask myself, what the hell am I doing, writing all this nonsense?
On a side note, I don't think I could ever work in a place that has mannequins. It would creep me out.
Enjoy your nonsense while you can. There has to be an upside to life, because there are plenty of times when things are hard.
Enjoying your blog has been one of the brighter spots for me, and probably this is also true of others you know.
So write, mi amiga, and let us escape temporarily into thoughts away from our problems. It is fun, and interesting, so you are doomed to continue entertaining us in a endless(at least until the end of November) samsara of creative thought.

Manniquins are the source of nightmares.
Perhaps they are behind all the evil in the the world; it is a plot they devise while we sleep.Their cold perfection is obvious. Like absolute power, absolute perfection ultimatesly corrupts. Now that they know you are on to them, beware their revenge. They will make you idolize them, starve you into submission, and destroy your self-esteem.
Only awareness of their plans can save you.

Oh, that reminds me (although I don't know how, something to do with samsaras and mannequin-plots, I suppose)... I started reading a blog by a woman who says she had a "UFO experience". She also claims to be psychic. I am fascinated by this. You have got to read it; I'll send you the link.
A few years ago I would have dismissed it as nonsense, but now I find myself wondering:
- does she really believe that she had a UFO experience? apparently she does.
- how does one make a leap of faith so grand, to adopt such an unconventional reality?
Fuck, what do I know? Maybe she really did have an Encounter. I hope she gets boring very soon, because I hate to think that I've been drawn into this drama.

We have a beautiful baby boy. Nicholas Joseph. Easiest delivery ever in history. My bad news is that my brother had a fatal heart attack on Nick's birthday. Bittersweet day.
That's all for now.
