RTBTCKI The Feeling More Alive Edition
I think I might be repeating something I said a number of years ago but I still find it true. Sometimes when one has been sick for a long time, when one finally feels better one is amazed on how much better they feel since they had forgotten what well felt like. One gets use to how one body feels so when something chronic goes away it is interesting to see what the body feels like without that problem. Boy I hope that made sense.
Tonight on Doctor Who is "Blink" which is one of those episodes that doesn't have much Doctor in it like "Love and Monsters" but I swear you will never look at a certain common object the same way again after viewing this episode.
No I am not watching Flash Gordon the series. I tried. I really did try but Yuck. The writing leaves me cold and there is not one character that I can connect to. Tonight we get the Hawkmen without the wings from what I can see in the commercial so I guess they are really the Flying Squirrel men since they glide rather than fly.
Caroline has been growing again. Her legs are so long and I hope her torso catches up with them. She has been drawing more complex pictures and doing a good job of it. Currently she is experimenting with creating things with straight lines. Straight lines are harder to do than curves. She had me sit down as she observed me and drew my picture. It's not a bad one either. It is interesting what she sees as needed to make the picture look like "Mommy" for her it is my pony tail and the fact that I am taller than Daddy. She is always careful to make me taller when she draws the two of us together.
She is also interested in expanding her vocabulary and understanding what we are talking about. If we say a word that she doesn't know, she asks what the word means. I had to try to explain state to her so I got out a map of the US and we went over how the country is divided into states. I showed her where we lived and where her grandparents and aunts and uncles live. I'm pretty sure she got it from what she was telling Ariel later. She is a sponge for information and her retention is really good.
I think Belichick (Who some people are calling Belicheat) got off way too easy. My concern is that this practice is much more prevalent in the NFL than we the fans thought it was. I am getting a feeling that the Pats were not the only team using this system to steal plays. This may be the tip of the ice-burg on this scandal.
Personally I think it is too early to start the Magic Numbers game for baseball. Lets at least get another week into it before everyone tires to figure out who is in and who is out. There are some teams that we know are out and now have the role of spoilers for other teams who are on the cusp of being in.
I have one of my wacky costume ideas. It would be a bear to build but might be fun to do at a convention. I still have my big project I want to do for CostumeCon in 2009. I so want to recreate the Storyteller and his Dog from the series the Storyteller. I saw the coat once and it was made of patches of stories with what looked like game boards mixed in. The problem is that I am going from memory and haven't a clue if I will ever find the right resource pictures so I can recreate it. Although I just got an idea of someone I could ask for assistance to see if such information exists. Hmmmmm.
Julie Taymore had a new film in limited release called "Across the Universe" which I was interested in because I love just about everything she had done but now I really want to see because of some of the people involved including what looks like Bread and Puppet puppets. Those people do some amazing work. Also Bono and Eddie Izzard are involved.
Well off to get something done today. The weather is rather cool this morning but that doesn't bother me in the least. I am such a polar bear. I love fall and winter and spring is fine too. It is the dog days of Summer I am not too fond of.
I am grateful for the lovely weather we are having today.
