today at the pool

 today at the pool,  I'm thinking about Plumbing. And wondering how on Earth, unless there was a horrible cataclysm, that children who grew up with plumbing would lose that skill. Unless there was an unimaginable level of death, certainly the rich people would have retained it.     With only a few With only a few examples of Plumbing in existence, and if you crafty people, who aren't fighting for their lives, the technology would have continued, no question.    Why build Versailles if you don't have Plumbing? I don't get it.

Joy to Type

What words are different when strung together verbally versus written versus typed?



He exulted when all the socks had mates upon exiting the dryer.  And once again; removing the lint from the dryer trap, thought it would be much easier to skip a step or two and just shave the clothes to remove a little layer rather than putting them and him through the whole process.  Wouldn't the result be the same?

Watching a woman who at first seemed 30, then upon another glance, seemed 18, he noticed she was wearing some kind of orange vest.  And the fact that she was carrying a stop sign went from bizarre vandalism to traffic control.

Don't do it

Can't use articulate, can't reference primates, can't use hijack, can't use exterminate or infestation; can't say illegal alien, can't say more stuff every day.

Maureen Joyce Carol

Now, text to speech  More Joyce Carol    Here I am on page 154   And grateful for this on there who doesn't have me asking but I think the writer is going to write but rather, what are the characters going to do next?

poor guy

Driving from Jacksonville to Seminole County  To start a job   Cuz the old one didn't pay him   Not enough money to pay for the gas   just just needs air conditioning  Looking for a couch  Promise the couch  Andrea's no air conditioning  For the three year old

My Life as a rat by Joyce Carol Oates

Page 9
Those weeks, months your mother spent most of each day lying down. Terrified of a miscarriage and terrified that she might die. Praying for the baby to be born healthy and praying for her own life and in this way Lula Kerrigan lost her good looks (she'd taken for granted) but also became permanently frightened and anxious, superstitious. Looking for "signs" -  that God was trying to tell her something special about herself and the baby growing in her womb.

Page 82
Even when your mother must know that Daddy won't be eating with supper she has prepared for him there is a meal in the oven which, next day, midday when no one is around, mom will devour alone in the kitchen rarely troubling to heat it in the microwave.  ( you have seen her with a fork but with a fork picking, picking, picking at the cold coagulated meat, mashed potatoes. You have seen your mother eating without appetite, Swifty picking at tasteless food.)

Auditions

Wanted to audition for Sister Act LWP and Calendar Girls at Delray Playhouse, but committed to 2 guys.

Sheppard's Afrique

↾ÒœFinally got a 100 persent on the Africa Sheppard Software map where it gives you a point on the empty map and you say what country that is.



, fifth try, I did.  I was just thinking I would probably never get a one hundred percent, but in that same sesson, 

I miss the day

when I would write blog posts, and edit them.

But now I like the voice-to-text feature, although it's inconsistent.

When we type we just come up with different writing style than when we speak.  And I wonder how I would write if I used a pencil all the time.



I think our tools change us in ways that we don't know because there are so many things we don't see.  And how would a fish describe water?  And how would an alive person describe life?  Yet, the fish does know water in a better way than I do, at another level.

which restroom

This lady, tell me where both restrooms are.

Now, I have serious male pattern baldness, and beard, there's no way she thinks I need to know where the women's bathroom is. except, she's probably been told to tell everybody where both are in case I decide to be a woman today. That's the school board.

footless stage directions to

 the the musical Footloose was different than the musical Evita when was my first and when was my fourth at Lake Worth Playhouse and my seventh overall.    For somebody's eyes, which Debbie handling very well for a blocking nightmare, I was want to be elements. And added a word to the script making it Chicago street fight, which nobody said anything about, and I think it was a great addition, and I had a few words sad so that you could get seated at his desk as the principal. For some reason Corey wanted to turn it into a real pushing match with the boys and was right up in my face for no reason that I could tell. But I made it work, by being really far away from him. Then my third appearance on stage which in the script is negligible was improve its by my facial expressions when it's time to leave the card table. First appearance on stage fourth appearance on stage, what's the best line of the play that mouth of yours when sweat made your daddy walk out in the first place. I was blocked with three people standing to in behind me, you're supposed to be trying to sneak in, I had to do something different. Obviously I don't take authority on stage, but telling me not to move hasn't fixed it no matter how many times people have told me that. Something needs to change in my behavior but I think it's mostly my arm movements. Then I'm done for the First Act, give the mic to Devin, and come in on the Town Council scene. You know, a license plate is a happy path, and then I got to ad-lib changing what I think is for words into a few more so that Colleen could actually get mad at me. How dumb is it for her to get mad if I only say four words? Then I come on stage for the church and then the prom. And then that's it. Only two costumes, which Brian suggested I be rumbled the coach shirt and the short sleeve Oxford. Show's over, everybody and their brother gave me advice as to how to do things differently and I never captured the attitude I had in the audition. Mason said I had a great face for the stage and you didn't know how to feel about me since I was mean on stage and nice in real life. I didn't capture his meanness enough and audience clapped once and I was told to sit down. And two other times people were glad audibly and that I was told to sit down. So it was learning experience, and I've got a place to grow.

Della 1964

Simple Snarky Summary

Mommy issues without a wire hanger in sight.



So good acting by Joan Crawford who doesn't overdue it.  It's a TV series really, and true to the tenor of the film, she doesn't act like she did in the 40s and she doesn't act like a crazy woman of the Baby Jane, etc.


Here she is, just putting her hand on her hip but looking as if there is a curtain rod underneath her arm.








Talk about a need for a transvestigation- maybe an orangutanvestigation.  What man has arms this long- shoulder to elbow or elbow to wrist?  Freak of nature physiology, fabulous actress.




At one point she does admit that she's a fella.  Or at least assents to it.

Yesterday I watched YouTuber Lori Blue Heron compare a mannequin with exact measurements of Marilyn to a regular mannequin.  So of course, since she lost the part in a soap opera, looked like a tranny herself--  everybody on screen is a tranny- by their looks... yet Lori says she looked like one too... classic case of findng what you're looking for, or uncovering a vast left wing conspiracy?  More like a demonic Jezebel 5000 year old conspiracy complete with statues in the moonlight.

Man, the premises are poor in this movie.  The daughter could leave the house every night and have a fabulous lfe at night- wouldn't have to be crazy, wouldn't have to be alone, wouldn't have to stay with Mom or ever be in that house if she didn't want.  She could have a sleepover every night with a different person.  This is a stupid premise... unless there is more going on in that house on the hill, and the psychiatrist brother, how convenient, is covering for them because their Dad is really Jenny's father in a sadistic devil cult and Jenny has extra personalities.
