Anna Karenina

I just saw Keira Knightley's portrayal of Anna Karenina, and though the reviews were terrible, I found the movie quite moving. Tolstoy was prolific with his memorable quotes:

"If you look for perfection, you'll never be content."

"Is it really possible to tell someone else what one feels?"

"Love. The reason I dislike the word is that it means too much for me, far more than you can understand."

"I've always loved you, and when you love someone, you love the whole person, just as he or she is, and not as you would like them to be."

"There can be no peace for us, only misery, and the greatest happiness."

Oh, Leo, I do believe you've found my soul...

Confessions: Summer is Over

For the first time since I began my blog, I went an entire month without a single post. I am sorry for that, and even more sorry that it's already over halfway through the next. Sigh.

I began this blogging business as a way to cope, for loss of a better descriptor, with the absence of another. For I was single in a world that is forever coupled, tripled, quadrupled. But now, well, I am still a single, but I am also a couple. And it is sheer happiness.

Since I embarked upon this journey with Lizard, he has matured greatly in his relationship savviness. He has improved leaps and bounds with his communication, and when he looks at me so intently, I know it is with nothing but love.

Yet I confess, I still think of my Caribbean boyfriend from time to time. Now, before you go and get your panties in a wad, I warned you that this was a confessions post. Perhaps it continues to only be that I never received closure, or even something that could favor an explanation, but he still haunts my dreams on occasion. Perhaps he always will. I guess that's what they mean by soulmate.

But summer is over, and my favorite season of the year is upon us...

In honor of one of my favorite artists of all time:
