RTBCKI Drawing a Blank
Posted By Kathleen David on April 15, 2016
I have been staring at the cursor for longer than I should so stream of contentiousness it is.
When I hit these blanks, I tend to poke around the Internet to see if I can find something at jumpstarts my mind. Not much today that I am inspired by.
I had something yesterday that I thought, ‘Yes! That’s it!’ but the though didn’t stick around apparently because I can’t remember what it was.
This morning there is a lot going on around the house. Caroline is studying for a test. The cats are working through the pecking order. I have dishes in the sink and on the counter. Laundry is piling up a little faster than I expected. Next Friday is the first night of Passover so there are things that need to be done within the week.
I think a couple of lists are in order to sort some stuff out in my head which may be part of why I can’t grasp a topic for this entry. That and I am trying to avoid certain topics.
My village survived Trump’s appearance. There were only a few incidences through out the day including one jáçkášš in a truck with flags flying in the back including a confederate flag that was going around slowly behind Hispanic children walking home from school honking his air horn. The police had some words with the guy who is not a local but from New Jersey and a big Trump fan.
We bugged out to the movies and saw The Jungle Book. It is superior to the animated film in so many ways and Neel Sethi is just amazing as Mowgli. I will caution that of you have a tendency to motion sickness that the 3-D can get to you. But it does need to be seen on the big screen just for the scope of it. And amazingly they worked some of the songs in that don’t feel intrusive.
Today is leg day for me at the gym. I hope I can complete my routine since arm day didn’t go too well between the shakes and tossing my cookies into a garbage can. Stomach feels better today so it shouldn’t be a problem.
Larder stocking, laundry, and kitchen will be the adult part of my day. Exercise will be my time of the day. Puppet making will be the creative part of the day.
Let’s see how much I can get done.
I am grateful that everything last night went well for the local constabulary.
I saw the Jungle book with the family last Saturday. I liked how they included the bear necessities song, it felt organic to the film. It was just two friends singing for fun The Christopher Walker song on the other hand I did not enjoy. Suddenly the movie was a musical and it was sort of distracting. He basically re-iterated everything he said before in song form so I did not see the need for it. The scene when the boy is singing on the bear while they are floating and singing looked so great. The special effects were great in a non-intrusive way.
