Erma's Favorites

3/11/2015

My very favorites.

On Monday, March 10, my mom said to me when she heard me humming: 
"Ohma, it's too bad you can't sing no more. You used to sing good."
Thanks mom. I spent the entire next day singing Tracy Chapman's, Heaven's Here On Earth. She's right. 

A facebook friend posted the BladeRunner Trailer and I was asked about the Horses story  I watch the Walking Dead with one of my favorite people every week and I have multiple types of copies of the books. 

I'll add more as I come across 'em.

Blade Runner:
​I prefer the one with the voice over.

Heaven's Here On Earth
​by Tracy Chapman
Celestial Navigations: Storytellers Extraordinaire
​(I am still banned from telling the Horses story at outmeets.)
Love the human drama following an apocalypse. In fact, I love most apocalyptic aftermath movies. The human condition and struggle when faced with adversity is fascinating to me.

​"There is a clue here.
The seat of this higher valor, I suspect, lies in that which is female. The words themselves for courage, andreia and aphobia are female, whereas phobos and tromos, terror, are masculine. Perhaps the god we seek is not a god at all, but a goddess. I don’t know." 
~Dienekes | Gates of Fire by Steven Pressfield

"There was a scream, 
and everyone looked at the girl.
     It was not she who had screamed, but the cutler's wife beside her. But the girl was the cause of the scream. She had sunk to her knees in front of the gallows, with her arms adopted to utter a curse. The people shrank from her in fear: everyone knew that the curses of those who had suffered injustice were particularly effective, and they had all suspected that something was not quite right about this hanging. The small boys were terrified."
~Ken Follet | Pillars of the Earth

Stories matter. Many stories matter. Stories have been used to dispossess and to malign, but stories can also be used to empower and to humanize. Stories can break the dignity of a people, but stories can also repair that broken dignity.

May 18 Dinner at moms

I haven't been able to spend time with moms for a couple of weeks so I thought I'd visit her at work. She got flowers from someone. She's prettier.




June 18


Today is my mom's birthday. I asked why everyone blew out the candles and she said cos she didn't want to get out of breath.
Watching the new 'Spartacus' on Syfy with moms: He's not good looking, Ohma. His nose is too hooky. You know who's good looking? Captain America. O yeah... And you know who else? Dthawn. I think he from down and under.
Me: Who?
Moms: Dthawn... With the hammer.

(Go back and re-read 'Dthawn' so it sounds like a bell ringing.)


June 26

Me: What have you been watching, mom?
Mom: Hem-Hemi-Hemigo... I don't know, Ohma. Were-woof, I think.
Me: Hemlock Grove?
Mom: Yeah, that's it.

...later in the evening
...

Me: How come you don't like the Walking Dead? It's a good show.
Mom: I don't like zombie, Ohma. You and you brother like it but not me. You know why? It's not real, Ohma. It never happen.
Me: Mom, you watch Hemigo.
