I need some kind of a knee-destroying accident that's interesting and believable. Something that would allow her to walk again, but not to dance. Right knee, since she's a right-handed person, and possibly requiring surgery, etc.
This happened to my niece Marisa. She got off a city bus and was hit head on by a bicyclist. Slammed into her right side, sent her flying - she's tiny, never topped 5'1" - and wrecked her right knee and right ankle.
Luckily Marisa had the fallback of being a brilliant violinist, but she'd been planning on dance. She was eleven at the time.
Hey, Allyson.
I found that guy's drawing...I knew I kept it. One of my few crazy stories with...evidence.
What I'd like to do today is play all my Miyazaki, at least the ones that have wonderful sky and cloud scenes: Totoro, Kiki, Spirited Away, Howl, copy them into one long sky and clouds dvd and set it to some nice image-evoking, low-emotion-demandy instrumental music. I've been looking for a way to the other side of the looking glass for the last little while. A door in the hedge to slip through, out of real life and the need to interact, cope, deal. Just a place to hide and recharge, with no demands and no expectations, for just a little while.
That sounds absolutely splendid. Maybe Kitaro's *Silk Road*?
That is a fantastic idea. I would pay you money to do that.
Heh. Too late. Afternoon over.
...Aaaand I have neither the hardware, the software, or really, the expertise to actually do it. But I'd buy it if somebody else would do it!
Hee. Yeah, I know. That's why I would rather pony up the cash. But surely it's an art form that someone is obsessive over. I mean, this is the internet, right? People do fan vids, surely someone is doing arty cloud vids.
I'd want a whole panel of screens on one wall, so I could look at clouds all day long. Someone make it so, please?
Binary Numbers
They say there are two sides to every story. There is black and white, good and evil. Like computers, humans try to put everything into a binary format; strings of ones and zeros that add up to something meaningful to us, even if not to the uninitiated. Unlike computers, though, we put moral values on our ones and zeros. A one in one person’s math may be good, but to someone else a one is bad. Yet, they are both ones. It’s hard to see the other side of the story when everyone thinks they have-- the one true story.
I like, Sail. Okay, all caught up. I'm going to go watch tv/dvds now and get all behind again.
