You've gotta make the time.
With Adored Wife, it's talking while playing Farkle in the kitchen, or watching funny videos together, or reading quietly in bed and occasionally reading something back and forth. It's quick emails and texts and Facebook messages back and forth. It's soda and asking how the day went or what's up for tomorrow or anything going on with any of your creative projects or can you believe that latest "Agents of Shield?"
With Basement Artist, it's milkshakes and walks around the store and long conversations about the future and writing and philosophical concepts and jobs and church and movies and friends.
With Social Hurricane, it's easy. Let's do something, let's watch something, let's play a game, let's go somewhere. Buy her a piece of pizza and let her mix up some ghastly soft drink concoction at the fountain and she's good. SH isn't tough to get along with; she just likes to be active. Talking tends to happen in the middle of doing, and revolves around work and friends and future hopes.
With Graphics Magician, it's "come on, buddy, let's get out of the house." It's walks around the neighborhood and long explores along the creek and through the woods and going up to play basketball with the neighbors and going to the grocery store for a doughnut. We talk about school and Rubik's Cubes and aliens and sports and hopes and fears and dreams.
You've gotta make the time.
Hope all's well out there, friends, and God bless.
The only TV show I actively watch….if you’ve seen the season finale then read on….otherwise, don’t read more!
ReplyDeleteBets on if “Hive” is really dead? Or rather, the actor who played that character? I mean…each season he just keeps coming back….wonder if he truly is gone from the show.
Sorry, I saw Agents of SHIELD and just had to comment [been a surreal day today, and not in a good way, as 2 people i knew passed away]. Oh, how I wish a new episode was on tonight to distract my mind...
Sorry about the losses in your personal life, Vince. Praying for you. I expect Brett Dalton won't be back, even though the show was renewed. They didn't know when they made the episode whether they'd get another season, and Hive's character arc was pretty well wrapped up. He got a dignified and meaningful ending (even as a villain) and bringing either the actor or the character back would feel pretty forced. It's ALSO a bummer that Hunter and Bobbi left the show to get their own spin-off, and that got cancelled before it ever left the ground. (But it's still the best thing on television.)
ReplyDeleteI’m hoping they find some way to bring Bobbi and Hunter back….even though they kept saying they could never be in the spy industry again with Colson and company. And yeah, I think Hive/Grant Ward is “dead, dead” but with this show, ya never know. I just hope it gets the attention it deserves. With the move to the new time next season, I think the new head of the network doesn’t like the show. :( And that’s a shame. I’m really not a TV person [remember the writer’s strike years ago? when they just ran re-runs and stuff; i stopped watching tv then and when the strike was over, i never came back; filled my old tv time with other stuff and didn’t feel the need to come back]. But I started watching the show on Netflix as I like the actor who plays Colson and really got attached to the show; ended up catching up to the series “live” and having to wait a week for a new episode [i was watching a new episode every other day on netflix].
ReplyDeleteIt will be interesting to see where things head next season, since we got a little preview of the scene with Skye…Daisy, as she is now on the run and causing earthquakes.
And thank you - cancer really sucks.
