Cold and then..

After a few hours to think about the videos I got done yesterday the one with Pixel Pirates as the name of the song got me thinking while I was in the executive chair last night, that I want that to be more of a concept video.. When I talked about messing with pictures, erasing pixels and then combining the pictures with others, that is where the concept will come in.. So a lot of my pictures will be used in the second idea, plan B as it were, to sow what the song is more about in my mind.. I rather like instrumental music because this way the title can mean one thing and the song another but in this case the title will be the main topic for the video..  A second true concept video on this run through or phase 2.. How many phases could there be??  Truth is I don't know, and with this it may not even be phase two but rather just videos. Feeling that the original run of videos were related visually with those that were on entry one last week... More fractals and mandelbrots were acquired for this second run of videos and yet I am doing or am more interested in concept videos..  Try to get it right.. in my mind anyway..

So here it is three days after having the little guy for a few hours.. Mom was extremely happy to have him although he wears her out pretty much completely.. The events of the weekend are still being told to me even as late as today, some of his screwy Ianisms... I don't think they (his parents) know what it means to her to see him at least a few times a month.. She had said she wants to try and stop by every week for a little while but after this past Friday when we went to pick him up she thinks maybe she will wait until after the first of the year to try..

On Donald's FB he was writing about the way the band was being reborn with the new lead vocalist they (finally) got, a female which I had talked about for years about them getting but both Donald and Lucy both didn't like female vocalists (at that time) but if you were to ask them now they would say they like female vocalists.. I've been into bands with female lead vocalists for a long time now with Nightwish, Within Temptation and lately Lacuna Coil being the prominent three and all three from Europe.. I will admit there is no American band or vacalist that is very good in my books and that might be why they don't like female vocals, but you have to look outside your home country to see how great things can be..

Anyway with the band starting to work (practice) again I'm sure there is at least one more night he is not home.. What I wish is that he could see what this is doing to mom.. The band isn't the issue, it's his being blind to how things really are between him and us or more to the point  us and them.. But the last call mom had or one of the last calls they talked and he was trying to make it sound like it is a them against the whole family thing and the truth is I blame myself for the situation we are currently in.. I still wish I would have just sent the heads up thing, where I said my back was hurt bad and I wasn't sure I would be able to make it the next day, then just left it...  Why I felt like explaining the unexplainable to her was beyond me.. To me unexplainable in my ability to know exactly when she reacted the way she did that I knew that was how she would react.. I knew from observing her actions from as far back as the immigration and then again the wedding this past summer.. I join the ranks of Freda as most unliked by Lucy... I think I like the company I'm in..


When Bob and everyone came down Sunday afternoon,  that made moms day.. And every time she gets to see those little girls it just does make her day, her week.. She can be so down and then seeing those two just perks her up.. I keep thinking how dad would feel and he would be the same I think.. Extremely proud no doubt in my mind..  

The door was being knocked on yesterday as mom was trying to call the doctors office in Scottsbluff and I thought, better answer it.. Then I thought better of it figuring the J of W were there.. Turns out it was UPS delivering something we ordered, but when I opened the door it was a bigger box than what I thought we were expecting.. Turns out it was a plant and not just any plant but a small shrub like tree..  Mom found out it was sent by uncle Bob.. She called him up and thanked him for it.. Checked it out and along with the tree it has a small string of Christmas lights and some little ornaments.. Quite the little tree and when she opened the first flap of the box I could smell the pine aroma.. I thought perfect, to add a pine tree smell to the house..
