looking up

the snot quotient is lessening. slowly.

but the bobby darin movie last night provided a nice chance to get out and breathe (er, sniffle) fresh air again. plus, i was astounded at how well kevin spacey did in the role! the movie itself was pretty cheesy... the cheesiness somehow worked, but it was pretty ridiculous at times. kevin himself, though... man, he can really sing those songs! i was impressed.

this afternoon i had a long conversation with my brother about us living closer together. he is definitely interested in moving to north carolina again, but just can't figure out when would be a good time for his family.

i offered to move out there, but he kept saying all of these nice things about how i'd really found my own life here in durham, and that it made more sense for them to move out here.

that's probably too generous on his part (the stuff about me having found my own life, that is) but it was really sweet of him to say.

so... after our long and emotional conversation he said he wanted to go search monster.com right away to see what might be available for him here in RTP. i doubt they'll pick up and move anytime soon (personally, i give it 3 or 4 years), but it's a great consolation to know that we're on the same page and are interested in working towards getting the family closer together.

now all we have to do is figure out a way to get mom & joy out here and we'll be golden.

so, i guess i'll continue to live my life as is for the time being. i do want to visit colorado frequently --maybe every 3 or 4 months-- so i watch roxi grow up and be close to rob & lulu. i may go bankrupt, but i think it'll be worth it.
