Shifting tides of creativity and inspiration

I just got done taking the dogs for a walk, and I wasn't going to post a blog today (I wasn't feeling like it all that much). And now I'm attempting to write and play all at the same time. It may take awhile go get this blog typed, but it will happen.

I haven't researched anything regarding current events to critique (not that I'd have to look hard). But I will add my opinion to the Healthcare thing. All I will say is that the road of change is long and fraught with perils. Not the least of which is/are those who benefit from the current status quo.

In reference to the title of this post, I'm currently still reading And the Band Played On, and I think I've been making some interesting connections in my head. Now, as I said before, I've been thinking a lot, and have had a lot of creativity. But most of it isn't blog worthy (or it is blog worthy, but the subject matter is sensitive or some other reason) ergo, not going to be blogged.

*big sigh* Sorry. Once you start thinking and have a couple of profound thoughts (or subjectively profound) it ends up like an inferno that sweeps across your synapses and all you can do is wait for rain. So I'm waiting.

New information

Alright, now I had thought that there were some bigger changes in my life, but then I started writing and realized that there really weren't all that many HUGE changes. Just a couple.

First off, new job. I love it. I'm good at it. It's full time and I finally have a permanent schedule. I have Saturdays and Wednesdays off, which means that blogging will probably happen on those lazy summer afternoons on Wednesdays. Go me!

Also, in keeping with my time honored tradition of reviewing movies that I've seen in recent weeks (or not so recent) I saw Alice on opening day. I thought it was good, although the beginning of the movie lagged quite a bit (but what can you expect from a stuffy Victorian beginning?) It also had the darkness I expected it would from a Tim Burton film. Although I did think it was a little clunky overall. But that's to be expected considering the content. Although, I also recognized some actors from other things. The actor who plays Alice's mom is this woman, who I recognized by the end of the movie as the wacky lady from Under the Tuscan Sun (great movie!). And the fellow who plays Alice's dad is this guy, who played Borias in Xena. Also, as I was looking I noticed that he was also Celeborn from LOTR. Which I didn't know. Shocking, isn't it.

While we're on the topic of movies, I am rather excited to note that there are a bunch of movies coming out in the rapidly approaching months that I am probably going to see. Because I can. They include (but are not limited too) The Sorcerer's Apprentice, Prince of Persia, and last but not least (at least for me anyway, since I loved the original and just have been too lazy to pick it up on DVD) Clash of the Titans! I'm sure there are some other ones coming out that I'll want to see, but this is the three that I can think of as I'm writing this and watching House from Monday. By the way WOW what a twist, and a little disturbing...

So while I haven't had any news articles or huge opinions to share with you, and no rant this time, I can say with a fair degree of certainty that more is on the way, and soon. Since I have hump day off from here on out, until something really horrible happens. (I can't let you off the hook thinking that I'm totally an optimist, now can I?)

EDIT: I totally forgot (and I can't believe that I did) that I'm also going to see The Last Airbender when it comes out. I've been waiting for this since last year when I heard about it!
