Reading Rainbow

This is hysterical! He's more Jim Morrison than Jim Morrison was!

Angela Minnie Pelosi Iannitti: 1921-2012

Yes, my nonna apparently slipped away early this morning. She was 90. Goat Boy called me circa 11:30 am, because he had heard it on Facebook (curse social media-and my cousin Tina). So......Ti amorate, nonna. Restare nella pace.

Like Mother, Like Daughter......

The photo of my mum, above, was taken circa 1977. The one of me, below, is from 2012. I don't think there is much resemblance, really. I guess Rick has all of the dominant genes.

Easily Amused

It's depressing sometimes, to hear about other people's families. I don't have a family- I have parents. They're the only people in my family who accept me. My brother and cousins all hate me.....or rather fear me, because I'm bipolar. I'm certain the children are told to avoid me. I tried to talk to a friend about it, but she has a great family, and doesn't get it. I'm a little depressed in general today, because everything has gone wrong and no one will listen. But I am playing Sim Social, because I am easily distracted.....

And I quote....

Any intelligent woman who reads the marriage contract, and then goes into it, deserves all the consequences.

To Nonna

This is the Saturnia, the ship that brought my grandmother to the United States over 80 years ago. This is my tribute to mia nonna.....we didn't always see eye to eye, but I am forever proud of her.

Lunedi

Fairly dull afternoon here in Hamilton. Carrie and Marty do not seem to be awake yet, or, at least, responsive. Nonna is still among the living, last I checked. She isn't conscious, though, I don't think. A woman who survived a voyage from Mussolini's Italy to America, passing quietly out of this world.....she is 90 years old. Well, right now I'm just drinking a Coke and messing with the computer. When I finish the Coke, I'll have a cigarette, then maybe do some sketching in charcoals.....a lazy day, but who's counting?
