Random Thought Thursdays is back.

I haven't posted one of these in awhile, so here goes.

Picky, picky, picky: Ever have one of those days when nothing you do is right? That was yesterday. My boss had lots of complaints...some things that I should have done differently, some things that my staff should have done differently. He was right, as he usually is, but still.  Plus it came after an especially annoying commute.  I was so tired and worn out when I left the office, I wanted something relaxing in the way of music for the drive home. I selected the cast album for Light in the Piazza, which is one of the most beautiful musicals I've ever seen. It helped.

Close by: I love it now that Cary has moved from Miami Beach to Wilton Manors. He's just five minutes away. We were both looking forward to his move so that we could be a little more spontaneous in the things we do together. Like yesterday. We were texting by phone and he offered to cook dinner for us. It was so nice after my stressful day.

RIP Heath: I mentioned Heath Ledger in Tuesday's post, but I've been thinking about him today. In his blog post yesterday, Martin mentioned an early film: 10 Things I Hate About You. That was my first notice of Mr. Ledger; I really enjoyed his performance. I keep thinking how sad his death was. Obviously it was an overdose. Depression -- assuming that was the root of his demise -- is such a powerful illness. I have known a number of people who suffer from this to varying degrees. It is such an devastating disease and frustrating for friends and family, for no matter how hard we try, there's little we can do to help the person suffering.

LA-LA Land: I'm headed out to Los Angeles early Saturday morning for a conference. I'm not a big fan of LA, but so be it.  I'm going to have some time to myself on Saturday afternoon and evening, and am looking for things to do. LA is not a big theater town and there's absolutely nothing going on in that arena this weekend. I may just wander, perhaps park myself in a cafe in West Hollywood Saturday evening and people watch.  I'll take the laptop and live blog about the people who come in. That could be really cool.  I'll take pics too and post them as I blog.  If anyone has suggestions about other cool things to do, let me know.
