Good Morning, my Baby,
Hey! That is some very nice video you shot. I love the very brief footage of the shadow hand, and the rain coming down by the lampost. The snow falling on the berries. All of it is good! But......the music, too. Is that a new piece, or something you've been working on for a while? It sounds great! Wow, Elizabeth. You are really developing a style all your own. You have got it in you, in both the music and pictures, so just keep doing it and doing it and doing it. What a nice thing to wake up to!
I was able to get almost nine hours sleep, so I feel good. This is a great day already.
I Love You!! xoxoxoxoxoxoxo :):)
(don't know if my sister is coming over or not, but I'll find out in a little while)
3:35pm : My sister did come over, but instead of shopping we went to see "Gravity" in 3D. "Wow" is all I can say. It really is an awesome film, a game changer for space films in the way "2001" was back in 1968. "Gravity" will set the standard for many years to come. You may have already seen it, but if you haven't, and if that kind of thing interests you, I would say go see it immediately, or as soon as you can, and make sure to see it in 3D. Besides being amazing visually, it is also a white-knuckle story, too. So there you have it.
Hey Elizabeth! You know how a song gets stuck in your head, or just a hook from a song? You never try to have it happen, it just happens. It's like the song picks itself to get stuck in your head. I don't always have a song stuck in my head, but very often I do, and today it started just after I woke up, while I was having my coffee. A beautiful, somewhat mysterious melody.
It was the main melody from "Across The Sea".
It's been with me all day. When a song can hook you like that, all by itself, you know that's a good sign.
Carry on having an awesome day, and I will be back in a while. Gonna tidy up around the apt., to protect against crickets.
I Love You. :):)
(back in a bit.........)
11:35pm : I saw the raccoons again on my walk. They were just outside some bushes which were near trash cans in a food court. They are so deliberate in everything they do, every move is calculated. But, I guess if you are a raccoon family living on a campus of 35,000 humans, you have to be careful. It's interesting, though, that the thousands of squirells in Northridge have no such inhibitions. They are everywhere, all day long. Not shy are the squirrels. They even cross streets with cars coming. Squirrels are all about broad daylight. Raccoons are only comfortable at night, when no one is around. And even then, they still deliberate over every single move. When I came upon them tonight, there was no one else in the vicinity. Yet they were still deliberating, emerging from the bushes one by one, then stopping, even though the trash cans were just feet away. The squirrels are all over those trash cans, all day, no matter how many people are around. But there are thousands of them.
As far as I know, there is only one raccoon family on campus, and they live in a certain storm drain. I've seen them as far back as ten years ago, so it is likely they number in several generations. I have no idea how they got there in the first place, but Northridge was once rural, as recently as 50 years ago.
At any rate, it is interesting that nature gave them bandit masks, because that is how they act; like polite, humble bandits - though they only take what has been thrown away, and they only do so when no one is around. The raccoons have a sensitivity to the way things used to be, and the way they are now. I can imagine that 100 years ago - which is not that long in generational terms - they might have moved freely in their search for food, like the squirrels do now. But as humans encroached, they adjusted and became careful - extremely careful. I can't imagine that anyone just dumped a pet raccoon at CSUN, and anyway, for a family to have developed, if pets were abandoned there, it would have had to be at least a male and female. Unlikely. So, these raccoons must have developed out of the wild, and if so, they must be remainders from our rural past. And they have that memory, of the way things used to be.
Other than the movie, it was a quiet day for me. I hope your day was good. Another sleep-in will be nice!
So, you are probably already asleep, but I wish you sweet dreams, and I will see you in the morning.
I Love You, my Darling. xoxoxoxoxoxo :):)
