Stages of the Reader

[sperari]

I’m at #7 (#6 was “I had a couple kids”)

[fthgurdy]

This is very reaffirming. I’m at #7 too, where #6 was…i dunno, just life, I guess, but I felt very ashamed about it especially since all the previous stages were exactly like in the picture. I read SO much when I was a kid. 

It’s really nice to see it described as something that just happens, without much stigma, and as only a stage- with unbearable frustration preceding it, because, yes, that’s what loving something can do to you…

In my case, #6 is Drowning In Textbooks/School

“You might belong in Gryffindor, Where dwell the brave at heart, Their daring, nerve, and chivalry Set Gryffindors apart; You might belong in Hufflepuff, Where they are just and loyal, Those patient Hufflepuffs are true And unafraid of toil; Or yet in wise old Ravenclaw, If you’ve a ready mind, Where those of wit and learning, Will always find their kind; Or perhaps in Slytherin You’ll make your real friends, Those cunning folks use any means To achieve their ends.”

Rian Johnson, our new hope? (article)

[The burn is pretty strong in the upper part of this read.]

Star Wars: The Last Jedi, has proven to be the cinematic equivalent of Marmite. It is important, however, when considering any new Star Wars film, to keep whatever nostalgic bias you might have in check and stop saying that the original saga is faultless. Within the originals, the acting is inconsistent in quality, the story, at a base level, is formulaic and there are many questionable lapses in both tone and plot, with only the comparatively horrific prequels having allowed the original trilogy to be glorified to legendary status.

Considering the objectively poor quality of George Lucas’ original trilogy, it really does beg the question as to why the films have such a lasting impact and cultural significance. The answer to this is clear: the parts of these films that are worthy of praise are brilliant. Because of this, the more grating elements of the plot and the frankly annoying acting moments are broadly rendered inconsequential to the overall impact of the movie. Yet it is the very people who have overlooked the faults of the original trilogy who have taken a hatchet to any similar issues in The Last Jedi, and therein lies gross hypocrisy.

For such a tough task, Rian Johnson performs this balancing act pretty well, but it seems not well enough to appease all of the fans, with some even signing a petition to strike The Last Jedi from the official canon. They cite plot holes, slow plot progression and the non-answering of burning questions posed by The Force Awakens as the reasons they have taken what would be an understatement to call a bit of a disliking to the film.

Firstly, it would only be fair to complain about any plot holes after the trilogy has concluded. The examples being discussed could quite easily be part of Disney’s higher plan for the conclusion of the sequel trilogy.

June 26- July 3rd

I have certainly had an adventure this week.  Upon arrival, Angela took me to the library and showed me one of her favorite books.  I think it was called The Great Influenza.  She said that the book is the reason why she is going to study Microbiology at the U of MN.  After the library, Angela showed me around the University of Wisconsin, Platteville.  It was very small compared to other campuses but Angie said it was grown so much since she moved to Platteville sixteen years ago.  That weekend I was fortunate to meet some of Angie’s friends and go to Summerfest with them.  There were so many people.  On Saturday night I got to attend an Imagine Dragons concert on the Summerfest grounds.  The music was different from the calmer music I am used to listening to.  When everyone had recovered from the night before, Angie and her friends and I went to Lake MIchigan.  Angie said the water was quite cold and that I should enjoy the warm sand.  Later that day, Angela drove everyone back to Platteville.  I was sad to say goodbye to some new friends.  thankfully Angie had forgotten to show me cheese-curds so I was able to reconnect with a few of her friends as we drove to Cuba City for some fresh cheese-curds.  Did you know that fresh cheese-curds squeak?  They are quite yummy though.  Upon arriving back in town, we stopped at Culver’s for some fried cheese-curds and vanilla frozen custard.  They were delicious.  Apparently when in Platteville everyone is supposed to climb the “M”.  It’s this hills outside of town that some mining students in the 1930’s took white rocks and farmed the letter M on.  The M stands for mining because Platteville used to have a mining school to teach people how to mine the lead in the area.  The school eventually evolved into the UWP.  Angela sure loves to travel places and so does the rest of her family.  Did I mention that Angie has five younger energetic siblings?  There is rarely a quite moment in her house.  

I can’t wait to take a nap before I meet Alyssa in Ohio.  I don’t want to be too tired and not have any fun there.

Maternal Connection

A very special Mother’s Day edition of It’s Okay to Be Smart!

Think the physical connection between mother and child ends when they cut the umbilical cord? Think again. No matter how far apart a mother and child may be, a tiny bit of each lives inside the other. Literally. Like, ACTUALLY lives inside the other, even as we speak.

This one goes out to all the moms!
