packed bags

we're ready to go now. one week until due date (!!!) though even the doc thinks baby girl is a-comin' early ... so, i decided to get the overnight bag ready just in case we get the call, say, tonight or tomorrow. i just packed up the diaper bag, too. my god the newborn diapers are tiny. i know, iknow. newborns are tiny.

my "neighbor" with the gargantuan telly is at it again. looks like it may be Lost or American Idol (i know, they look nothing alike from afar - but there are just alot of cuts and dramatic close-ups), neither of which i've been able to get into. still addicted to Seconds from Disaster on Natl Geo Channel and of course the Daily Show. and counting the days until the next Project Runway (july 12th from what i heard).

saw a charming documentary on louise brooks today. the madonna (or maybe angelina) of the 1920s. such a fascinating life - bratty, talented, beautiful - seemed to live life on the edge but somehow made it to her 78th year and, by that time, found world-wide recognition as a true legend. lived her last years in peace ... in rochester, of all places. actually, rochester sounds like a peaceful place. interesting that, at one time, she lived at 59th street and 1st avenue. not too far from our window on the world.

wondering if we'll have a chance to catch one more movie (in the theatre) before baby arrives. if i don't, i think i'll be ok. not much out right now that excites me.
