Daily Doodle: Space Music (a doodle drawn while my Mom kicked all of our butts at playing Dominion tonight!)

Song of the Day: Space Oddity by David Bowie

Musical Pipe Dream: For about 10 years, I have had a complete vision of an animation I want to create in the Ender universe with Space Oddity being the soundtrack. It would be about the time in Battle School where they don’t tell Ender and his toons about a battle until the last minute. It would show them eating breakfast, all the other armies being ready in the Battle Room, Ender jogging towards the Battle Room and jumping up to touch a part of the ceiling, his army jogging close behind him and jumping up to touch the same part of the ceiling, the Battle Room door opening, and epic battle of skill, desperation, and deceit, and ultimately triumph as a soldier passes through the door. The animation continues with Ender in space in a ship with three seats, out of the spaceship window is a view from Earth at a distance, a flash of Ender facing two empty seats, a flash of Ender facing seats occupied by Peter and Valentine, then a flash of Ender alone again, far away. Finally, a view of an interpretive figure of Jane as she dances, hops on stars, and flows through space.

Blurb 1/365: It’s all up there in my head, all I have to do is get it down there to reality.

Musical Pipe Dream: My sister’s neighbors were having a party loud enough to wake the entire neighborhood. Across the street a party goer was on top of their dining room table in front of a bay window doing the Ham dance. I think of this fondly when I hear this song.

Daily Blurb: I was watching the Colbert Report tonight and Alan Cumming was the guest, promoting his one man show of Macbeth.

Do you remember the movie “Bernard and the Genie”? I remember watching that on VHS. My mom would pick up movies for us before coming home from work. It was a video rental place that had all the VHS covers on a wall with tokens below on a hook. This would signify how many copies were left. One night, she brought home “Bernard and the Genie”. It starred Alan Cumming and Lenny Henry. Which made me think about the show “Chef!”. Do you remember “Chef!”?
