Just a short little post before I crash into bed... which will be bullet pointed for brevity.
1 - Happy Birthday, CB!... it's 12:18 am and I know you're still working, (art directors always go home last!), but I wanted to let the world know that today is the birthday of a great woman. Good work this week. I hope you make it to Puerto Rico. You deserve a "calgon moment" after the last 2 days!
2- Casey found my comment link. Yay Casey! I love you too and I'm very glad you are reading. I think you are right about the mole. Big hugs...
3- J. Lin wrote in to tell me that a) there are too many Lin's in NY to be worried about anonymity and b) he doesn't actually know ALL the names of the Star Trek episodes, only a "select few." Still, if there was a standardized test for Trekkies, I bet he'd score pretty high,even if he isn't one himself.
So, consider yourself updated. I'm going to bed now. Sweet dreams!

Happy Year of the Pig!
Happy (Chinese) New Year, everybody...
This is the Year of the Pig and, from what I've read on my various web jaunts, a year for happiness, honesty, and good fortune. Luckily for me, that fits right in with my theme for the year.
I have been away for a while for 2 reasons:
1 - I am working on a great job for that involves a famous little red puppet, lots of fun graphics to produce, and hours of staring at the computer screen which makes one less inclined to boot up for personal endeavors later in the evening.
2- I have had a cold. Due to the cold, I have been taking drugs. I don't know about you, but I don't trust myself not to say/write/post strange things while on drugs, even if it is just cold medicine!
So - I took a little break. Did you miss me?
Anyway, I am here now. I will tell you that I am generally happy on this 2nd day of the year of the Pig. I celebrated the New Year with one of my favorite families in NY. If you are ever in the New York area, I highly recommend requesting an audience with the Lin's. (If you have been reading you will see that I have edited this post because I got one of my "yes,-you-can-write-about-me-on-my-blog" forms signed.) Mrs. Lin is just a gift to the planet. She is a lucious recipe of love, generosity, and joy packed into a tiny body with just enough room left over for a pinch of humor. Her husband, Mr Lin, is equally as generous and is also a very talented artist. Their son, J. Lin is one of my favorite people, (not the least reason being that he's married to a very dear friend of mine) incredibly intelligent, as big of a geek as I am, (he knows all of the Star Trek: Next Generation episodes by name! I can only recite most of the races,) and who will hopefully let me move into his old room if I go bust in my career and can't afford to get back to my own wonderful family down south!
Can you tell I love them?
Who knows, maybe you'll have the very good fortune of meeting them someday. Your life will be the better for it.
Anyway, we had a wonderful dinner. I got to try some new foods that I had never had before: a bread that is steamed instead of baked, sticky rice that you must eat so that money will stick to you in the upcoming year, and a rice cake with fruit in it that looked suspiciously like the Taiwanese version of a Fruit Cake. It was all delicious and I went home very full of good food and well-hugged by Mrs. Lin.
Thank you, dear Lin's for a delightful evening!
Of course, today, it was back to the grind. I'll be on set for the rest of the week, so I'll post if I can. I love hearing from all of you. Getting a comment is like discovering treasure in those old Sierra adventure games, (King's Quest... remember?)
Happy Tuesday!

Sheesh.
Yikes. Time goes by so quickly! I can't believe it's been a whole week since my last post. A lot happens in a week.
I have to be honest and say that I have been very sad over the past few days. I am closing a chapter on a part of my life that I know needs to end, but requires a grieving period.
I had a great moment once where I was crying in an office, (don't ask... long story), and a woman walked by and said "Oh, Sarah, you're leaking." Just like she was talking about the kitchen sink. That always makes me smile.
So, I have leaked a lot lately. But, life is still pretty good. I have really great friends. We'll just call them Les Femmes for now since I haven't checked to see if they require code names on a blog. Tonight, two of them proved they will dance jigs with me in public places. One of them was Cecelia to my Rosalind on a short jaunt in a dark wood. All four of us had Sex on the Table. (A chocolate dessert, silly). And we wrote the first paragraph of the first page of the next chapter in my life.
And I just want to say a semi-public thank you to my sister and my dad. Without you, this next chapter wouldn't be available right now. And to my mom for mentally tucking me in at night and sometimes in the morning.
Sadness is a wonder I have found. Sometimes it comes from lost hopes. Sometimes it comes from broken expectations. Sometimes it comes from cheesy solos in a broadway musical.
Sometimes it is just a gauge for how much you love someone.
Apparently I love someone an awful lot.
