… yesterday. Did some online shopping for parts. (Come back on Friday for the story on the object these parts are for) OK I’ll admit that was more of “intent to fix” move… but hey, you gotta start somewhere. Though, in the afternoon… I DID fix my lighting board in the Turtle Dove Theater. It has been laying around unusable (don’t ask… it was a sore point for a while) since March and I finally …
… that recent “pirate movie” craze wasn’t such a good idea. Mind you there has been some sort of pirate culture as long as there have been seafaring vessels. At times even legitimate governments gave them a pass by calling them “profiteers” – with the provision that a tax could be levied on their “acquisitions”. In the region of the world from which I hail there has existed an active culture of pirates for centuries. …
… you can watch a movie the first time and like it. Then subsequent viewings make you love it. The opposite is true as well… liking or loving it the first time then it falls victim to the laws of diminishing returns at later viewings. Last night I watched “Topsy Turvy” again after a long time. This was after juggling some choices including “Taste The Blood Of Dracula” and “Chariots Of Fire“… yeah, bizairre, I …
Most of the time real life will do it for me. (Shocking, I know.) Just living everyday life and observing the going-on’s of others will provide enough stimulus to get my juices flowing. I still do the former (the alternative is a mite limiting to the creative process) but the latter element is somewhat limited with the sequestered life I currently live. Music has been used in the past too. OK, I still do but …
Today and part of tomorrow I will devour news sites for election returns. Usually I watch enough of the news to be informed but I become a political junkie once every 4 years. So, from Wednesday on it’s going to be cold turkey. “Hey buddy… come on… just give me some political dirt!” Someone should really start some kind of 12 step program for us poor nerds. Heck, I may actually have to do something …
… last night, my rabid (but admittedly wine soaked) mind sauntered toward thoughts on collaboration. I like collaborating. It’s been a while since I have shared the experience with another or others. I miss it. Present circumstance does not allow for much of it… especially on creative projects. I’ll admit that being an only child my natural bent veered more toward DIY than collaboration. These were a set of skills that I had to learn …
… over the next few days so there is going to be a lot of laundry that absolutely MUST be done today. So it’s batten down the hatches time around the homestead. PLANS FOR TOMORROW? Whip up a big mess of comfort food and hold up with some movies. I really don’t do holidays anymore. (What? Lecram, you are not doing Halloween?) I sort of stopped a few years ago. (How weird… especially for a …
… and awoke at 3 AM. Figured there was nothing else to do but write a post. It also afforded me the opportunity to catch up chatting with some friends across the pond. (NOTE TO SELF: Factor in a nap this afternoon.) I MISSED OUT ON EVENTS THIS WEEKEND… … that I was hoping to make. There was the Wicked Burlesque, Rogue Fundraiser and the Fresno Filmmakers Forum… but I’m glad I stayed home. Yes, …
… and this gives me the space where I can get onto more accomplishments for this new day. BTW… yesterday was one long clean-up… but it was good. Especially because there were project bounces to other areas (in the house) and lots of fun breaks that made the whole day… well, sort of fun. Plus, I finally fixed the “relaxor full body massage pad” that I picked up some months ago at a block sale …
