Ope. I was going to read, but The Fifth Element is airing, and with fifteen minutes left… We’re going in!

Ope. I was going to park the Airstream and see what tunes might shuffle up. But! I spotted Sunset Boulevard playing at a *drive-in* and decided to pull in and hook up the speaker. I’m not ready for my closeup just yet. For now, I’ll let it ride alongside Mr. DeMille…🤩
Canceled my Canva Pro membership. It's over, kids. Next 4 Stanchion things coming in hot. Get 1, get em all. Trying to leave a legacy of beautiful, human made books and literary magazines made for humans to love and own and hold and read and cherish. Please send me out in style.
Welp. I’m fully tuckered from the day. I went to Mass…let’s just say, one may think they see and understand the signs presented by the universe recently. *One* may also find themselves gobsmacked with just how wrong they were…🫠 Peace to my people. Tomorrow, renewed, WE RIDE!
Ope. I spent my day mired in Audrey Hepburn films and random, lovely meanderings in my neighborhood. Fell asleep for a lil bit, woke to the Blues Brothers airing. Now, I’ve entered my Cranky Toddler phase. I won’t go to sleep, because I Want My 80s is ON FIRE! Take it away, ZZ TOP… Sheesh 😒

Current mood today as I tossed to the wind: caution, goals, ambition, caring about appearances… Namaste 🪷
Ope. I HAVE gotten plenty done today. But. I’m on my third Audrey Hepburn film today (yes—B@T), and that is my story, and I’m sticking to why I made zero progress on my WIP. Be back mañana…

Today’s abundance: Eggs from the hens of one neighbor Swiss chard from the garden of another… And, Sabrina! (Love to hate Linus!) Frittata and a movie. What a lovely Saturday 😊
I should be clear that the architecture of Bluesky makes it the social media place I most like to be. I'm not on social media to be an influencer or instigator; I want to hang out with folks and have an enjoyable time. This place delivers on that. I hope it continues to do so for a long time.
Today's pleasant mid-80s weather is... prolly the last good day in this here Minnesota August, otherwise known as YOU MUST BE JOKING ME temperature-wise. Frfr, I try to escape August in MN the way some tried to escape Alcatraz. [As in, most seriously...🫠] Cue: 🧊 + ❄️ youtu.be/RlNhD0oS5pk?...

This selection of southern-gothic greats abounds in the eccentric characters and eerie atmosphere that define the genre.
Today did not go as planned, but it is going well. • Morning yoga = life • Butter beans à la Deesha wafting through the house upon my return = joy • Catching Breakfast at Tiffany’s + Wait Until Dark = bliss Let’s take this week off from submitting to litmags/journals. Enjoy your Sunday. Namaste 🪷

Today, having been reminded of Artis Leon Ivey, Jr’s passing... I am going to spin one of his most well-known tunes, which was featured in Dangerous Minds—and ME*! *Well, I was a nonunion extra, chilling in a schoolyard scene… I rolled onto set sumthin like:

I love the title! It has length (which can be a fun twist in flash or micros) and humor. It sets a stage for a story where there could be multiple meanings and layers of meaning and interpretation. Wo...

Welp. What was supposed to be a siesta, isn’t. The Muzak station is playing a song that reminded me of a Winnipeg drive-in with my family. The double bill: Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid, and Save the Tiger (methinks 🤔). The good thing about memories? They’re yours. Co-signers NOT ever needed.

Nanoraptor@nanoraptor.danamania.com · 3w agoYou suddenly get a narrator describing your life and there’s no way to turn it off - everyone can hear it. While shopping, at work, at home, with friends - the voice narrating your every move goes on. Who do you hope is the voice of this narrator?
Welp. I was not even low-key hoping that the followup to The Towering Inferno would be…yup. The Poseidon Adventure! Leslie Nielsen + Shelley! Winters! = One Okay Saturday Night…😏
Welp. Spending the day futzing around in my robe, eating Brie over the sink (sans crackers), and watching The Towering Inferno? Not the bingo card I thought I’d play today. See also: Oh to be back in time when a new Airport movie was certain, and copious doses of Shelley Winters were guaranteed…🙂↔️
Ope. Pulled the Airstream to the side of the road to take a heatwave-induced nap. This rotated on, and wow. Herb stayed fire...this video is soooooo cool. So, now up, on the Shuffle Up. See you après siesta: 🗣️ Herb Alpert 🎙️ Rise youtu.be/q7O3eYJptTc?...
