Mid-morning. You were up
early and read the Sunday paper while eating breakfast. You checked your email
and found where the new Cinemark Theatre is in Oakley for later this afternoon.
Carol is still reading the paper.
Later. You have been working on Brothers 21 and
have one hundred and fifty words re-carved from the original segment in Braided
Dreams. - Amorella
1016 hours. I do, but I am modifying the
focus only on the movies. I am not sure why or where it is going. Maybe I am
just toying with the words, making them clearer. Maybe it is just because I am
going to a movie later today.
Carol brought you a Klondike bar for a
Sunday treat and you just began to nap like the two cats on the other side of
the living room. You are also thinking about a relaxing bath so whatever you
decide is fine but drop in what you have of Brothers 21 and post first. - Amorella
So, I am going along a preferred
track?
It is acceptable so far as a lead in. The
girls will be coming across the street from Schneider's Bakery with doughnuts
and coffee/tea for treats, as it is mid-morning in the story also. - Amorella

The Brothers 21, draft setting for GMG
Richard
and Robert are sitting in the shade on a bench in Riverton watching traffic and
people move through the busy Uptown intersection of State and College. Richard always
liked this corner from where he could see one of his favorite boyhood places,
the old State Movie Theatre grandly lit marquee, a place of early escape. The
late forties and early fifties were great times being a kid, concluded Richard,
and movies were a significant part of those youthful days.
Robert never was a movie fan. His
boyhood took in bound textbook-like words to carve a life based on what human
reality is, the physical body. Richard liked the adventurous photographs in Life as much as words of daring and
diversion. Robert became a cardiothoracic surgeon and me a professor of
literature. We are still living in our hometown but identically twin bodies do not
identical minds make, considered Richard. - 150 w

Once home from the movie you made a
snack supper as Carol had already eaten. You watched the news and another
"Zero Hour". Everyone in the group enjoyed the film Elysium at
the new all digital Cinemark Theatre off Ridge Avenue and I-71. - Amorella
2057 hours. It was strange to think that there is no
film reel or movie projector in the building. Even the laser projecting the
light to the screen was so clean in detail that it didn't appear real to the
eye. It reminds me of those first digital sound disks that the ear had to
accept as real though the brain had never discerned the clear distinct sound
before. The film review gave the movie a B but I would give it an A-. I thought
of the films District Nine, Blade Runner and The Power of One.
In fact I thought I heard an exact line in the Afrikaner dialect from The
Power of One in Elysium. And, certainly Afrikaner was a part of the
setting in District Nine also. This was to be expected. I'm glad Carol
chose not to go; it was not her type of movie -- too much graphic violence. It
was well acted though and the set had a District Nine tone to it though there
were no aliens and the Earth setting is in Los Angeles a grim place with little
to no humor.
Tomorrow is soon enough to continue Brothers
21 though you are considering doing so. Unwind, boy. Part of the residual excitement
is just the fact you went to a movie theatre that opened this last Friday.
Post. - Amorella
