A little bit of escapism

Sometimes we just need to bubble along and partake of a little escapism. With the mounting horrors on the Gulf Coast, I’m feeling guilty that I want to escape from the news for a while and just enjoy the Rockstar:INXS show (www.rockstar.msn.com ). I’m adding everyone on the Gulf Coast and in the communities that receive our refugees to the white flag in the center of my March journal quilt. I’m not allowed to post a jpeg until Festival (the big quilt show in Houston, where it will be displayed along with zillions of others), but it is of a Tibetan prayer wheel, with prayer flags strung across it. I’ve added names as folks in my life…here in Maine, on my e-lists, wherever, as they may need extra prayers. It helps me to remember them, even when I seek solace and escape……

I was really surprised that Ty was in the bottom 3, again. JD belonged there this week, and like my friend Deborah (www.deborahsjournal.blogspot.com ) think it is time to let go. He’s amazingly talented, but every time there is a brouhaha, he’s at the center of it. Too much drama. I guess the band just didn’t want to boot him out on his first time in the bottom 3?

Suzie’s performance of Bohemian Rapsody was totally amazing……I taped the Weds. elimination show to share with my son (whose bedtime is 9), and I could play it again and again. She has shot to the top of my “final two” list with MiG. Marty did really well, and if he could stop the scream-singing and do that, I’d like his work a lot more. But I’m still plugging for Suzie and MiG, and wish there were some way (and of course there isn’t) for BOTH of them to make it. May they both end up with awesome recording deals, one way or the other.

Promise the next post will be quilty…..think I’m gonna write about fusibles…..or maybe tomorrow. And my prayers to all those in need……
