Last night I went to bed kind of late and this morning I woke up kind
of early. Somehow I managed to avoid taking a nap. I spent a large
chunk of my day scanning my grandma's old photographs. I need to get
back into that because it is going to take me a really long time just
to scan them. Then I'll have to edit them, which will take even
longer. And then I'll have to organize them. While researching
stuff for my website I got a lot of ideas for organizing the pictures
on a website, so that is what I'm leaning toward right now. That's
still a long way off though so we'll see what happens.
Today I watched two movies. The first was The Judge. It was
an emotional movie but it was also a really good movie. Robert
Downey Jr. is always good and his quick talking witty dialogue fit
perfectly in the role of a lawyer. My only real gripe with the movie
was him unknowingly making out with his niece. That didn't really
seem like it was necessary.
The second movie I watched was John Wick. When it was in
theaters I think I saw all of the action scenes several times, and I
knew the basic plot of the movie. This was the first time I got a
chance to see the whole thing all the way through and it is one of my
new favorite movies. Everyone loves a good revenge movie, and John
Wick is definitely that. I would like to have the reputation of
Wick without having to do all the horrible things to earn it. It
would just be nice to have people fear/respect me because they knew I
meant business and I wasn't someone to mess with. I don't actually
get messed with now but it would still be cool to have that persona.
The last few days I've been trying to imagine how the world would
change if we were to discover the remains of another civilization on
another planet. Like a passing satellite snaps a couple pictures and
one of them shows the unmistakable ruins of buildings and monuments.
There would be non-believers but screw them. I can only believe that
that our world would change instantly. Plans would obviously be
drawn up to send more probes and eventually humans to wherever this
planet was but in the meantime, the world would be entirely
different. Scientists have always been searching for life outside
our planet, and I think a lot of people kind of believe that it is
maybe a possibility, but how many people actually expect it? I'd say
not a lot. It would be incredible and it is kind of hard to wrap my
head around. It would be a paradigm-shifting, fundamental change in
our existence. Not only in how we view our universe but also our
place in it. Fingers crossed I get to experience this in my lifetime
because I am really curious how things would play out.
Tomorrow, I will hopefully be able to scan more photographs, keep
that ball rolling. I will also probably check and see what reading I
have for this week. And maybe look into the grant project so I can
get a better idea of what's going on with that. Today I sent out an
email to my website group to see if they have ideas for a website
that we can work on. So far I've gotten one response, and the
website suggestion has a lot of potential, which is good. So
tomorrow I might start looking into that more as well. If I can
accomplish just one of those things I will be happy. It doesn't take
much.
