Olaf

Edith found an Olaf animated Christmas Decoration at Home Depot Friday.

We spent quite a bit of time pressing the button and watching him move and soak.

When we went to leave Edith grabbed the sides of his face and told him she loved him and would see her next year.

It was cute and enduring.

I was watching a Mission Impossible movie the other day and Tom Cruises character punched someone and the screen went back for a split second and

was the only thing on the screen.

It took me a second or two before I realized it was supposed to be the sound of him punching two people, or them unconscious hitting the ground, or something similar.

We use subtitles perpetually in our house.  Really since I started dating Sam 15+ years ago we started putting subtitles on for everything. 

But occasionally it looks like an old Adam West Batman type thing.

I put off running this morning.  It is currently 9 degrees outside and our drafty garage is never much warmer than that – maybe 15 to 20 degrees warmer but that is not the temperature I want to exercise in at 5 am.  Maybe if I ran at night it might be easier to be motivated.

Don’t Worry

Years ago I did a daily drawing for a couple years in a row.  Just a simple pen drawing to go with a song or the day or a book.

I have many sketchbooks in a box downstairs and I’m kind of proud of them.  It started as a wait to fill my time in Cleveland, something new for a time when I was new in Cleveland and didn’t have much to do.

I made a set of negatives a while ago.  Flipped the colors to make mostly dark or black drawings to use as computer backgrounds.

One of my favorites… Don’t Worry I’ll Catch You.  I think it’s from a Get Up Kids song.
