Mr. Rochester

A while back my darling cousin who works in the entertainment industry in California obtained a WONDERFUL surprise for me.... two signed photos of MR. ROCHESTER!!!  I have a certain fondness for the story of Jane Eyre and have seen as many of the film versions as possible - the most recent being done within the last 2 years and starring Michael Fassbender (why do I always want to put more syllables in there?)   The casting of him as Mr. Rochester is really not in line with the book's version of the character because he's NOT attractive in the book and Michael IS (EXTREMELY) attractive... so I guess he had to really act ugly to play the part. :)  hehehe.

Anyway, I knew that my cousin worked on a film with Michael in Berlin and she might know him.  She did!  How cool!  That was all we really said about it... then I got a large envelope in the mail from London... sweet!  I love mail from overseas.... in it were two signed photos from HIM!  And here they are... (they have been at my desk at work and one got soaked with water, but I'm keeping it! :)

The non-soaked photo.
 As my friend Phillipa from Manchester would say..... 'I'm UP FOR IT!'  :)










The wet one.

I think this one reads..... For Beth,  Thanks for the support and hi to cousin Robyn!  Lots of Love, M Fassbender... and two kisses. :)

 I kind of felt like I was 13 again and I got a signed pictures of Joey from the New Kids on the Block! :) Or Jordan... never figured out which one I liked better.... 'I'll be loving you forever!'

What Does Your Fun Look Like?

I was listening to an interview of Allison Armstrong yesterday.. she's a woman who's studied men for 20 years and how women can better relate to them.  She had an interesting topic:  "What does your fun look like?"  And she talked about it by illustrating how different 'types' respond to this scenario: A friend comes to you and tells you 'I'm learning Mandarin Chinese.' What's your response to this?  Mine was 'COOL'! :)  Which I later came to know was the response of an 'Enjoyer'. :)  Her other types were 'Builder', 'Sharer', 'Expresser', and 'Growers and Knowers'. A Builder would respond with something like 'Why would you be learning this?  When will you use it?'  An Enjoyer (me) would respond like 'Sounds like fun!'.  A Sharer would respond with something like 'With whom are you doing that?'.  An Expresser might respond: "What do you want to say in Mandarin?&qu

What do I want to BE? What do I want to DO?

 AH HA I just remembered you today - lovely blogita.   It seems I missed 2021 in my blog posts, but here we are in 2022 - so nice and even.  This year is going to have at least one post.  So here goes: Second day post-termination thoughts:  I have so much time!  I could start a project.  I could read The Brothers Karamazov as I have been meaning to do.  I could clean (you can always clean), but that may go against my newer found philosophy of 'It's Better Than it Was'.... which is doing some to mitigate the mess, but not worrying about perfection. I had an interview yesterday.  That was weird.... just the getting up and getting dressed and leaving the house for a work appointment.  I had fun.  I like people.  I got lost.  I talked to the ceiling/heaven.  I laughed.  I used a parable in my answer.  Gees... where did that come from?  Heaven maybe? :) Tis time to shower.... I'm a bit oiled up after a 90 min massage that cost $189.  That's bloated.  I felt like the ther

Cycle of Downturns - a Poem

I'm noticing for you because I can feel it. which is kind of the point, You can't. This is where I retreat. I am not here to do your work. What is the loving response? Only you know what's there to transform. This is cycle number three. No change has disrupted the relapse. You are not present. You have receded into hiding. Here I am telling you what you need to do. It feels icky and uneven. Perspectives can be so far apart. I know I can't remain. <3 EE
