star gazing

……..today was filled with star gazing…..i spent a good deal of time on the couch….thanks to the fact that bronchitis showed up again and decided to kick me around a bit…..my voice has returned but instead of my own, it has been replaced with that of a husky (although sexy) pseudo-male come-hither growl……my most cynical explanation for this is the fact that i dared to have a good time last weekend…..

….last weekend began with a most entertaining night on the town and proceeded into a weekend away……to kelowna…..a short 5 hour drive from home……to my friend’s cabin (a.k.a. big freakin’ house on a big freakin’ lake)…….a weekend complete with late nights, moments lost, snowboarding, communal eating and beach fires…….oh, and did I mention good friends….yeah, there were some of those too……

….anyways, it was basically a recipe for bad: mix a cup of fun with a bowl of relax, blend until smooth and get kirstin on antibiotics……or thusly the goods have been baked for the last few months…..woohoo!

…so…..all this to say that today i spent an unusual amount of time on the couch where i managed to catch the first star…..jake gylenhaal….in all his glory….doing interviews on tv……later came an evening out…a second-run theatre (therefore old-school and cheap and the best movie-going experience) playing ‘walking the line’……two more of my favourite stars joaquin phoenix and johnny cash…….

all i could do was soak in their beauty………
