 |   A terminal for all blogs coming in or going out. A view into my life. |
Started July 1st 2019 for contests, etc. as other blogs are filling up and have other purposes.  I'm starting a new blog because
I'll be linking to
I've started an appendix (I no longer have one personally) to keep track of my Space Cadet journals for Space Blog. It's a work constantly under construction. Mind the mess.
I needed to start a folder for contests as there are so many deadlines and details to remember.

| The song that won't win Eurovision '21: The Norwegian teeny-boppers instead chose what imho is a very bland song. Tix will present "Fallen Angel". International reaction is that Norway will be shut out of the final this year by choosing the wrong song. One comment was interesting. It suggested the Tix won because of social media presence. Could be. This has been lamented by authors trying to get published. No proven media presence? Don't bother us. Marketing has always been an issue in the arts, along with racism and classism. Gatekeepers, as it were, jealously guard their domain. 36 degrees at 10:40 p.m. Other sad news. I knew it was the 21st but I wasn't sure which day of the week it was. Everything got thrown out of whack this past year and for me it's not back to normal in any way, shape or form. I'm going to join the class on Steampunk. Blimprider suggests I have no clue... and maybe I don't, but I hope I learn something beyond my comfort zone. One reason why I signed up was because I still have no travel plans. 38 pale grey degrees of gloom. Almost noon. Finished my first coffee. That does count?  The bball saga continues. The women's games of Jane Doe versus Betty White is so predictable. I love Betty but poor plain Jane has no chance. It's as if she were purposely invited so the sorority girls could make fun of her. Maybe if women's basketball were played more seriously on the high-school level it would help with depth. Regardless, the really talented women could play on the best men's teams. Spoke too soon. BYU (11) won in the first upset. And Wright State (13) in a thriller! Now Belmont (12). In men's bball: Oregon (7) with the upset. USC (6) over Kansas [I called this one]. 42 and a stray ray of sunshine at 1:23. Gasoline is $2.64/gallon. It's gone up a bit. I keep track in my journal because I see the sign out my window. Silly when one considers that I don't have a car; but, like the weather, it keeps me oriented to when and where I am. New weekly goals:  write at least 2 postcards (and mail them!) and make 1 phone call to family. find the photos to what I wrote in Journalistic Intentions for possible trinkets.  write in my hand-written journal every day.  enter 3 contests and not stress if I have to give up on the others. (wrote some) read! I've neglected this goal for a couple weeks. |
  PROMPT March 22nd Write about your earliest memory. Try to describe it in as much detail as possible. Maybe if I could remember I'd be triggered. The real answer? Nothing. My first head injury apparently was around age 3. In some ways I have no childhood. Everything I remember is an echo of a memory. And now as my memory fades it's even worse. I know we had a green '53 Oldsmobile until I was 4 or 5. I think I remember seeing a cow once. My kindergarten teacher wanted to keep me back; but, that's my mother's memory not mine. I used to know her name. Can't remember my second or third grade teacher's name either at the moment and I know I used to know! 1st grade was Miss Mancuso; I got all C's. I have a school photo somewhere. When I look at that I mostly remember names. I'm the short kid at the front with the big smile and buck teeth. I know I had a blue-green security blanket. Our quilt used when we were sick, and my sister and I were always sick, was red and patchwork strips. I know I've mentioned before how I remember hearing "Ombra mai fu" and "Greensleeves" about age 3. But that didn't come to mind when I read the prompt! My mind has slipped this last year. I wonder how noticeable it is to others. It's why I really resent not being able to travel this past year. If this is onset dementia then I won't have much time left to travel. |
