, , , , , , , , , , ,

Saturday, February 3rd, 2018 —> -21˚C / -6˚F with an evil wind chill and clear skies @ 7:45 am in Atlantic Canada — I think today is Melanie Savka’s Birthday ( “Lay Down Candles In The Rain” “Brand New Key” “I Am Not A Poet” & More ) And I used to think it was Ian Anderson’s birthday too (Jethro Tull?) But I had that one wrong. —

— I was up early, knowing that today was the launch of the 30 day “Kindle Scout Campaign”. I thought it would launch at noon EST, but it launched at Midnight EST – and instead of finding user friendly badges on their site, I had to get creative &/or ‘problem solving’ and figured out how to get decent links that showed the book cover – and so far my feedback says I’m at 0% and the average for a Kindle Scout Campaign is 20%. Hmmmm —

— But anyway, We are on our way here. Can I scream now? Betcha I won’t be getting much sleep for the next month —

 

— This is the link to that page (Below? )—>

— Um, I’m pretty close to feeling brain dead at the moment-

— Maybe I should just finish this sentence andhit the ‘Publish” button?

— (help?)

– I really liked this WordPress theme – with Tolkein scripts – You may be able to download this –

— Archives from July 26th, 2009 – The 29th of July was my cousin Jaimie’s birthday and a friend, Kaylie’s, birthday, too – 🙂 – I was experimenting with formatting when I posted the above, and I think this might even be readable as an image here – Yay!

Mother's Day, 2009 post

– Mothers’ Day Post, from 2009 – Shows the theme’s author. I went looking for her in a StartPage search and was able to download a copy of this theme from her site after it disappeared from WordPress’ offerings. – 🙂 – If you go to http://www.aerendel.ca/wp/ “Karen Blundell aka arwen54)” is a link that might even still work – 🙂 –

— & at the bottom of the page at http://www.aerendel.ca/wp/ you can click on the author’s name and go to her site and maybe even still download a copy of this theme if you really like it.

If I was a writer for the TeeVee programme “Heroes”

— February 20, 2009 { Kathy Krafchick & Patty Hearst have birthdays today 🙂 } — 4:30 am ? —

 

— It’s tough being a writer. (of course it has its rewards, but-) I often feel let down, or think, “Hey- they missed something here-” and with a show like “Heroes” that has had way too much ‘down-time’ for my tastes, I often find myself dreaming up plot lines and twists, adding new characters with new ‘powers’, and so on.

— One plot thread that kept hopping into my head at odd moments involved Hiro from another dimension, coming to this dimension, trying to disguise himself while he checked up on things and, when he knew he could trust the people he hoped he could trust, he reveals himself and tells them what’s going on in other dimensions. “Sylar is a good guy in 7 out of 12 worlds where he’s still alive. In two worlds, he’s trying to live a normal life, avoiding anybody with powers at all. It all depends on how he discovered his first power- And what personality traits he absorbed from the first person whose power he either absorbed or took-”

— In one world Nikki/Jessica discovered herself dying from some disease and went and let Sylar find and kill her, then her twin personalities started a war inside Sylar’s mind, strengthened all the bits and pieces of all the people Sylar killed, and basically incapacitated him as they took over and fought him for control in a landscape that was so surreal many of them never knew whether it was the ‘real world’ or some interior imaginary landscape. Isaac tried to get Sylar hooked on drugs. A bunch of them managed to hand him over to Noah Bennett and Noah found a place to lock him up in a cell with padded walls and special glass and a force field that nobody’s been able to penetrate, yet-

— Um, there’s more, but that’s another time.

— I’ve been thinking that Peter, (who is now ‘taking’ one power at a time from another Hero) will be told by somebody, “Your DNA remembers everything. When your father ‘took your powers’ he damaged your nerve connections. As you heal, you will regain all of your abilities.”

— Somebody has to go back to when the senior Petrelli was killed and catch the light as it leaves him (the ‘light’ he stole from Hiro). I’m thinking somebody should take Hiro back to that moment and have the light re-enter Hiro- unless somebody else should get it.

— (( I keep thinking of these things… ))
