my roommate and I just finished watching despicable me. oh, what a movie. it made me want:
a) my own league of minions. only they wouldn't be stealing shrink rays and building rocket ships. they would be doing mundane things I don't like to do, like straightening my hair for me, and vacuuming my apartment while I'm gone, and taking my notes in behavioral neuroscience.
b) children. to read bedtime stories to and to watch funny movies like despicable me with. and to cuddle with and love on and watch grow up. because as often as I dream about being a therapist, or owning my own photography business, I want more than anything to be a mom.
today has also been wonderful because of this. the civil wars strike again with a level of musical congruency that I could never being to dream of achieving. oh, to have a voice like Joy Williams!
