bearshortyUnpacking most morning; it is a pretty unremarkable day, just a bit cranky from missing my Bear – I usually get ‘Bear withdrawal’ after spending uninterrupted days with him. The cold weather isn’t helping.
On Christmas, when we went to visit Bear’s grandmother, there was a piano in a lounge where we gathered. While we were waiting for everyone to show up, I went up to it to play a bit. I learned to read music in fourth grade but I took piano in high school for a few years, not that I remember much at all. There are only two melodies that I could play without any notes “Greensleeves” and “Fur Elise.” But apparently now even muscle memory is fading, I could barely get through the first part. So when I got home I took out my keyboard piano and my old notes to try to remember it. It has been to long since I touched a keyboard, I always mean to learn again but then I never do.
Otherwise this was a pretty unremarkable day
“Battlestar Galactica: The Plan” finally came after a long wait and Papa and I watched it. I really liked it. It was from the point of view of John Cavit really and his “plan” to destroy the humans and teach his five creators a lesson. But really he was just watching it his plan disintegrate because of love and cylons loving humans and not having his determination. One model of Cavit who was stuck on Caprica with Sam actually did learn love but, of course, that model was just one voice on that model. The movie is looking at the same events from cylon perspective, which is actually pretty interesting even if there is lots of stock footage. Dean Stockwell is awesome in it and the whole movie is like a meditation on love and existence and it is wonderful. Next up “Caprica.”
