Hopefully we can get more crafters sharing here!
2) Have been watching a slew of Apple+ shows as our subscription cutoff nears. The miniseries Disclaimer was framed in an interesting way, one which I suspect had a lot more clarity in multimedia than in the book, but perhaps not. It uses multiple narrative voices and POV for the narration, including second person, first person, and some omniscient narrative. This was pretty relevant because of who was being framed (literally) and who actually got to have their voice(s) heard. ( Read more... )
3) Surface is a story told in a much more straightforward manner even though it also involves an unreliable narrator of sorts in that our central character had memory loss and is trying to piece together her past which also involves a parental mystery. ( Read more... )
4) Also saw the movie Wolfs, which is fine but largely a vehicle for us to watch Pitt and Clooney do fun stuff. ( Read more... )
5) Finished The Big Conn and Cowboy Cartel, two documentaries about big crime. I found the former much more interesting, even though I'd heard about the case before. What was probably the most striking about both was the role of the media in precipitating change. ( Read more... )
6) Careme was marketed as the story of the first celebrity chef, who served Napoleon, Tallyrand and others. It was certainly about far more than cooking. ( Read more... )

2) Saw The Flash film and found it better than expected but also so-so. The big problem to me was the lead himself. Granted his character isn't really written to have any charm but a good bit of the humor fell flat for me, and when he was on screen twice as much it made it worse. ( Read more... )

It was a great community event, with lots of people wearing beautiful yukatas and kimonos. There's a pretty large Japanese population on Kauai, and this seemed to be a popular event with the Japanese community. But there were lots of other people too, mostly families who appeared to be residents, but there were a few visitors, too. Some from very far away, like South Africa and Australia.
We found chairs near the performance ring, and we had a pretty good view. The first performance was a group of taiko drummers, who were very impressive. The beat of their drums was so powerful that we could feel it reverberating in our chests! I've always loved taiko drumming, and I went to a performances a couple of times back in Berkeley, but seeing it performed outdoors on the temple grounds under the paper lanterns was really different. It felt less remote, more like we were all part of the same community event, which of course we were.
After the taiko drumming performance, there was a transitional period, when the taiko drummers performed with flautists and a singer while dozens of people (maybe a hundred people? there were a lot) danced a dance with set steps that everyone performed simultaneously as they moved in a slow circle around the performance area. It was a beautiful dance, and it was neat to see how some people were very graceful and practiced, while other people went out there and did their best to dance along and no one judged them. During this time, though, a high percentage of the people dancing were in kimonos, yukatas, and flowing Japanese-style shirts. The sun started setting during the dance, and the sky was all pink and blue and gorgeous.
Then there was a break while they removed all the taiko drums, and a lot more people went into the circle, more of them just casually dressed in street clothing, though the people in Japanese clothes didn't leave the circle. They were just joined by a lot more people.
And then we were BLASTED by recorded music that was probably 5 times louder than the live performance had been, so loud that Shannon and I could hardly bear it. Everyone continued dancing in their slow circle, but Shannon and I pretty rapidly decided that we'd had enough. Shannon insisted that we could stay if I wanted to, but I'm prone to headaches and I knew music that loud wasn't going to do my brain any favors. So we headed out.
But it was a lovely evening, and a perfect date night. It's been a long time since we were able to go out to stuff like this together much. We've been to the theater together a few times during these past several years, but outdoor stuff like this festival and the Pride parade are a very different sort of thing. This festival would have been difficult (though not impossible) to navigate on my knee scooter, for example. And the bathrooms were port-a-potties, which would have been a nightmare when I was having my digestive problems. So it is very exciting to be well enough to be able to easily go out to this sort of community event.

FRED: She's not making any sense.
LORNE: And speaking of sense, have you gone on permanent sabbatical from yours? Tell me you did not shoot that girl full of junk, and then feed her to Angelus.
WESLEY: It was her choice. Faith knew the risks.
LORNE: Aw, she couldn't! (Fred glares at them, then quieter) Wesley, I know what that drug does to people. Especially when they super-size the doses to make sure they really get the job done. And you damn well know it too.

So I'm going to start doing physical therapy stretches at least twice a day again, along with my frequent walks (whenever I have the opportunity!) and the water exercise class twice a week. It seems like a good plan.
I talked with the physical therapist about the fact that I think we need to set our expectations for the long term, because my body just doesn't heal/adjust quickly, so it's going to take a long time to get those muscles more flexible. I'll work on it, but my effort won't be enough ... it'll take time. In the past, I've always felt that if I just worked harder, then I could make things happen faster, but with my body's recovery it definitely doesn't work that way. It's a cliche, but it's also true: some things take time. That's frustrating, but it's also reassuring. If I don't seem to be improving noticeably, it isn't my "fault" ... it's just my body taking its time, and I need to learn to be okay with that.
In an example of how small the community is here on Kauai, Mary is working with the same physical therapist that I'm working with ... and the woman I met on Wednesday at the writers' group is friends with Gary and Mary because they all go to the same church. Kauai really is like a small town spread across an island's space.
Shannon and I are heading to Hanapepe for a Bon Dance festival tonight, which should be fun!

I notice that my knee seems to be doing better since I stopped doing my physical therapy exercises a couple weeks ago. I think a problem I have is that I expect noticeable improvement from PT exercises, and so I overdo it a little bit. I think this is especially an issue when I have weekly appointments with the physical therapist, because I feel like I should be making notable improvement every week. My body just doesn't heal or change that fast. So I think I need to establish different expectations with my physical therapist. I'm seeing him tomorrow to restart treatment, so I'll talk to him then.
Currently, walking and the water exercise class seem to be serving me well, and I've even been able to go up and down the stairs a few times this week without pain, but I know I should be stretching. I just have to figure out how to do it without hurting myself.
Tomorrow Shannon and I are also going to the Bon Dance festival at a Buddhist temple in a nearby town. There will be fancy lights, taiko drum performances, dances, food, etc. These Bon Dances are held at various places on the island every year, and I've always wanted to go, but this is the first time my health has allowed it. I'm looking forward to it!

Apparently, there are sometimes 6 or 7 people, sometimes as few as 2, and today was one of the small groups, but I didn't mind. The other woman there (M.) is the person who created the group, and she's a writer who loves BTS and Eurogames, so we had tons in common! She also doesn't live too far away, just the next town over from Kalaheo. So we exchanged numbers and maybe we'll try to get together to play games or something. I'm not going to push it, though. I don't want to be the desperate person looking for friends.
Even if I am kind of the desperate person looking for friends. lol
This writers' group only meets once a month, and it's aimed primarily at writers who are in the process of working on projects. Apparently there are a couple of novelists, a couple of poets, an essayist, etc. The woman who created the group is one of the poets, and she created the group partly to encourage Kauai writers to finish pieces and submit for publication. Talking with her was very inspiring, and I'm going to try to start morning pages again (a practice of writing three pages long-hand first thing every morning). I've done it for various periods in the past, but last time I gave up right about a year ago, because I found that creative juices weren't flowing, and every morning I was just writing about my plans for the day. But now I'm feeling more inspired to write again, so I'm going to give it another try.
I also discussed with M. my idea of rewriting one of my Korean short stories in English as a children's story. She said it might be interesting to write it in English, then later translate the Korean to see the differences. I think I might actually avoid re-reading the Korean version before writing it in English, because I remember the gist but not the details. My goal right now is to write this story before the next meeting of the writers' group in a month.

It was actually a pretty exciting day, because I also met with my old grammar class for the first time in 2 years. Our old teacher always seemed unimaginably far above my level, but today after 2 years I actually knew more about some grammar points than she did. It was shocking. She still knows a lot more than I do about Middle Korean, but in a lot of other ways we're on a more similar level now. I'm blown away.
The class was really fun: reading aloud together, translating, and discussing grammar. My reading aloud still needs a lot of work. My pronunciation seems to be okay, but I read very haltingly, just a few words at a time without good intonation.
