Notes - work-a-wotenstag / arriving / theatre



       Mid-morning. The day is gray and overcast with typically tropical weather. You are waiting for Jill K. to arrive for housecleaning chores. Larry has yet to call about working on the master bath, so you wait. – Amorella

       1002 hours. I was wrong to assume it would only take two weeks. He is at his leisure until we return from Colorado when I assume he and the crew will work in earnest to complete the project. It hardly makes much difference as long as it gets done and looks good when completed.

       You said hello to Jill and found she, her husband and Tim and Amy were up at Marblehead (Sandusky area, Lake Erie) for the weekend and took their ski boat out to Kelly’s Island in beautiful weather. - Amorella

       1100 hours. We’ve done the same (with someone with a boat) several times; Aunt Ruthie and Tony as well as Bob Pringle and his parents way back). We never took the old Ford Tri Motor flight to Kelly’s but I wanted to just for the adventure.

The Ford Trimotor (also called the "Tri-Motor", and nicknamed "The Tin Goose") was an American three-engined transport aircraft. Production started in 1925 by the companies of Henry Ford and ended June 7, 1933. A total of 199 Ford Trimotors were made. It was designed for the civil aviation market, but also saw service with military units. The Ford Trimotor was sold around the world. - Wikipedia

       You are in Barnes and Noble at Fields-Ertel Road. Carol is shopping for a book or two. – Amorella

       1159 hours. I am ready to continue the machinery conversation.

       Let’s go to it. – Amorella

       You have about 586 words to work with. Let’s fill them out and continue this in Pouch 13. We want the set up for Pouch 14 and Pouch 1.b.3. – Amorella

       1225 hours. I’m not sure what this set up is?

       To get the Homo sapiens home for the Greater Good of Marsupial humanoids and Machinery. (Accident prevention – safety first)  rather than we run we run them back to Earth. (so to speak)

       You choose Egg McMuffins and Cokes for lunch and a Graeter’s dessert. You also drove around behind P and G to see other businesses and connecting streets you have not been on before, a whole raft of new houses going up off Irwin Simpson and the new bridge over I-71 is five to six lanes. Presently you are sitting directly across from the Whitaker family mausoleum, facing a dark and stormy west, but you doubt rain will arrive. – Amorella

       1424 hours. The sunroof is back and windows are down; muggy with sounds of thunder from distant cloud tops. Carol’s looking at an L. L. Bean catalogue that arrived today. The ants are dropping from the tree limbs – we probably have half dozen or so in the car along with a couple of stray drops plummeting in.

       When you begin Pouch Twelve work read over all the recent material you have to draw out connections. Post when home.  – Amorella


       1523 hours. A new sci fi film is on the horizon. I’m excited and hope for the best of a good film.

Sneak peek: First photos of alien 'Arrival' with Amy Adams, Jeremy Renner

 Brian Truitt, USA TODAY      8 August 16

Aliens come to Earth again in the new sci-fi film Arrival, this time with an intimate, thoughtful tale rather than a destructive invasion.

Directed by Denis Villeneuve (Sicario) and based on Ted Chiang’s 1998 novella Story of Your Life, the intellectual drama with a genre twist (in theaters Nov. 11) stars Amy Adams as Louise Banks, a linguist hired by the government to decipher an extraterrestrial language when a dozen alien pods pop into the atmosphere and hover mysteriously near the ground.

“This isn’t a graphic-novel universe or creating a new universe. This happens in our world today, as it exists,” says Adams, who is in London filming Justice League, in which she reprises her role as Lois Lane. “Not having to transport myself to a universe where superheroes exist, which is also fun, really helped me ground the character and the experience.”

When the vessels arrive, Louise is a damaged woman going through some turmoil in her personal life, Adams says. “She felt real, like somebody I would know and somebody I would like to have a conversation with. Emotionally, the journey she takes in this was devastating to me.”

Plus, she’s very untrusting of the policies and protocol of her new gig: “You can tell she’s been down this road before in helping out the government and it’s turned out poorly.”

That said, Adams adds, “she absolutely needs this, probably more than she knows.”

Brought in to help from a mathematical point of view is physicist Ian Donnelly, played by Jeremy Renner. “I haven’t played a smart nerdy guy,” says the Avengers star. “I thought there was a great challenge in that.”

The communication gap between people and extraterrestrials is reflected in the global community depicted in the movie, as countries share information while harboring different fears, agendas and political climates. “You see the divide in the unity with people across the world and what that does as well,” Renner says.

In terms of the aliens' verbal and written language, "Denis and the team have done a great job with the visuals and getting to something that looks familiar and not completely abstract,” says Adams, who gets a close encounter when Louise insists on face time with the world’s new out-of-town guests.

Filming scenes with the aliens, the actress recalls working with “a very brightly lit white screen with these awesome puppeteers who ran around holding very long poles with big orbs on the end.”

Renner promises that they’re “not goofy creatures with guns who are going to kill us.” In fact, Adams adds, their look is “different than what you would have thought.”

Arrival feels like “if you blended a (Stanley) Kubrick and a (Steven) Spielberg movie,” Renner says, and instead of a “big Michael Bay alien movie,” the new film is more along the lines of Close Encounters of the Third Kind and Contact.

“If you’re a parent, it’s going to wreck you," he adds. "It’s big and there are thriller elements and tension, but it’s going to lean much more into a thinking person’s film.”

       You have enjoyed many a science fiction book and flick. You now have something to look forward to in November. Post. - Amorella

       Carol cooked turkey, cheese and spinach burgers from Kroger’s meat department one of your favorite dinners and made potato salad also – excellent meal. Larry wrote and said they would return from the Alabama coast next Monday so you will then set up the preliminaries for master bathroom reconstruction. In the meanwhile you have been reconfigurating Pouch Twelve and can now see this is going to take longer than one segment. Progress. – Amorella

       2106 hours. This writing business is interesting. It appears I am many times out on the cusp of the writing not taking in the undertows of thought evolving in their own ebb and flow. I do not consciously see what is being nurtured and why, mostly it is the overall dynamics of process into deliberate content. Essentially, you, Amorella are in part helpful machinery as well as spiritual guide – angelic-like still. Machinery with empathy and kindness is what we (marsupial humanoids} are to Onesixanzero and Ship. We emulate and evolve and so does machinery. In some ways it reminds me of the romance of an exchange of souls between lovers and/or friends. It seems reasonable that Homo sapiens need to evolve and grow to be more spiritual and angelic-like rather than see ourselves as forever less than angelic-like spirits (an individual soul holding a unique heartanmind) – genuine spirit evolving, copying what we know and understand best in our hearts – kindness, empathy with music accompanying the individual as well as the greater whole of a higher consciousness in cousins of similar species. We learn from ourselves and we learn from each other what it is to be a more evolving human music. (2125)

       All for tonight young man. Post. – Amorella

       2126 hours. I gather a sense of present consciousness, oddly, my own presence within myself.

       Always theatre, boy, you cannot seem to help yourself from it. - Amorella
