the state of me

My new song on constant repeat is "Chariot's Rise" by Lizzie West. I heard the song in the movie Secretary (strange, very strange) and was so happy to find it at the Apple Music Store. (I LOVE the Apple Music Store!) Listen to the song, download it for a mere 99 cents, it's so so good!

from the movie Frida~
Frida: I want you to burn this Judas of a body. I don’t want to be buried. I’ve spent enough time lying down. Burn it.

Diego: Frida.

Frida: No, I don’t think I’m Frida anymore. I think all of the Frida in me has disappeared. Look at what’s left.

"Feet, what do I need you for if I have wings to fly?"--Frida Kahlo, 1953

I watched the movie Frida today and it is truly a beautiful movie. I urge you to go out and rent it. I knew nothing about Frida Kahlo's life and I am so happy that this movie was made so that I could understand her more, her life, her art, the time in which she lived. I just had no idea.

I have a stress fracture in my left tibia. What causes a stress fracture you ask? Activities like walking. How do you recover from a stress fracture? By not walking. I love when a doctor tells you to stay off your feet. Because that is just soooo easy.
