Zippity is not my name. Do? Duh... is not my game

I would love to have tea with Elycia someday in Malaysia. I've done it with other WdC members: Mavis Moog and Scarlett immediately come to mind. However, Zippity is not my name. I am slowed down or blocked at times by anxiety and depression.

Sharon's "Easy" is mournful... I relate to mourning, to the blues, nordic-noir, the bittersweetness so often found in French art. A note just a bit off, like in bossanova or "I think it's going to rain today", the plaintive moan that sunshine cannot assuage. I must ask her what it would take to revive her contest: "Poetry Song Contest"

To Beyond the Cloud9 (Sharon West) on (fb): "You are totally mould-less or is that moldless ... apparently neither word exists but you certainly do! What it isn't is zippity-do-da Doris Day (loved her by-the-way) but maybe it's a croon... a very dark moaning croon? I dunno. I don't understand genres in general (too restrictive imho) and molds don't suit me well. Choice of black/white works well."

I'm naturally neurotic. Let me count the ways... some other day. It could be a multi-chapter book in and of itself. Organization is tricky for me. I keep track of my daily objectives in my blah-blah blog "Porthole"  to remind me that I need to accomplish something that day. This helps on days like this past week when I'm concerned (a polite word for what I'm experiencing) over my impending trip out of Thailand (1 day, 3 days, 10 days; Laos, Malaysia, Cambodia...). I'm torn between choices. Some of my objectives: work-out, watch BLs, walk, actually help distract me. At the end of the day if I have a that makes me feel like I've done something, even if the "Elephant in the Room" is still crowding me.

To Elycia Lee ☮ (Elycia) "My Ideal Day " : "It seems like a peaceful flow... do you manage this?

I'm more of a rabbit... running from task to task, but like a turtle... slow, slow... slower.

I make lists in my "garbage can a.k.a. dumpster" blog to keep track and remind me. It works most days. I do tend to start with a brief workout, mostly because it's too hot after 10! I wear sweat pants and a long shirt (Thai flies are pesky and mosquitoes are mean). Speaking/listening/learning Thai is another daily check-off. Walking is crucial but swimming has been more sporadic as I won't go in alone (don't like water). Reading? I try to read 3 blogs/day. Writing? Depends...

I have to make a visa-run and considered Malaysia. Flight or train to Hat Yai... cross to Padang Besar... easy peasy; but, I'm too stressed to do it at the last minute. Train is 33 hours from Udon! Perhaps in August.

I do imagine using an asteroid as a space ship. The trick is structural integrity. If one could mine it properly without that potentially disastrous side effect there's great promise in inhabiting a rock that's self propelled. Oxygen? Not an issue in a closed system with oxygen generators (plants under interior solar lamps powered by external solar power?). Same with a cloud-ship over Venus. The surface may be too hot, although we have life around thermal vents on Earth, but the atmosphere at a certain distance may be just right, or already ripe, with life. As for the Goddess... I don't mess with Her. English demands humanoid pronouns so "The Holy It" doesn't fit and frankly, I don't think gender should be an issue. Only certain religious groups have this obsession over God's gender.

To Harlow Flick, Right Fielder (David) "Invalid Entry"  "Are you saying I can see-or-skip "Asteroid City"? May I assume one lives inside the asteroid? Imagine a hundred asteroid cities with inter-asteroid connections. Sounds interesting to me. "Islands in the Sky?" Or is that applicable to cloud-ships sailing the mists of Venus?

The Goddess needs to have a one-on-one chat with Charles and Cindy. I sometimes challenge comments, but try not to belittle the commenter. Hopefully the God of Sodom-and-Gomorrah isn't filling-in for Her that day."
