Not To Harp On It, But...

 

"If you ever looked at me once with what I know is in you , I would be your slave."

~Emily Bronte
Wuthering Heights


Seriously. Natalie Harp needs help. How do I know? Because she displays the exact same obsession I witnessed one day, by a girl, who also had a lot of problems. Her name was Talia. She came for a visit and was staying at my mother-in-laws house. She wasn't visiting our family, she was an acquaintance of the minister of our church, yes, the man I briefly dated. At least he called those dates. It's debatable. Anyway, Talia became obsessed with the minister, and suddenly she announced that they were engaged, a fact he denied. Slowly she began to display odd behavior. Like that ne day, I think I have shared this story,  when my brother-in-law called me on the phone, and very sweetly demanded that we pick Talia up together, from the local "mental health clinic" where she had just been taken by ambulance. Something had set her off, we never found out what exactly what the problem had been, but there it was. 

Neither dear brother, nor or I, had any idea what to say to her on the car ride home. She sat in the backseat very quietly, with very dark eyes, staring off into space. Daryl and I were on the brink of nervous giggles, which was so bad under the circumstances, but what could we do, who knows if she was going to randomly freak-out? Fortunately, she didn't seem to notice our nerves! After we arrived home she went to her room, where she spent about an hour. When she emerged she was holding a large poster board with the words... "God became man as man became Gumby's." Yeah, I didn't get it either. Still don't. But I don't think about it that much either. Talia made her way back to Oregon in late August of that year, and after that, who needed to dwell. But that's not the same as forgetting all together!

Fast forward to Natalie Harp. Natalie is not Talia. She's worse. Both in her own behavior, and in her blind devotion to a serial abuser, misogynist, cheater, a man convicted by a jury of his peers of sexual misconduct and at the end of the day, he is a suspected pedophile. And that doesn't begin to cover the other characteristics of his personality, personal beliefs and decision making skills that have proven dangerous to this country! Does America need one more reason to be worried? Natalie is about one heartbeat away from turning into, Alex Deforest, from Fatal Attraction! Does America need to be wondering when Natalie will end up boiling Barron's bunny? She works in highest post of the United States government, she's more important than the president, she's Trump's Binky. And in that she's already moved culture, and probably military policy with her inane posts, such as the one depicting Trump as Jesus, she's already made some deeply negative impressions.



None of this was ever on my bingo card... and I don't know why?

Ellipsis Christmas Movie Countdown #14

 


(After telling Klara that they have been pen pals all along...)

Alfred Krelik: Are you disappointed?
Klara Novak: Psychologically I am very confused... but personally I don't feel bad at all.


I bet you thought the AOL voice that announced that, You've Got Mail, was all about the movie, You've Got Mail. Nope. Before that was, The Shop Around The Corner. I love these gentle old black and white movies. No mentions of the internet, I mean was that even a gleam in anyone's eyes in 1940? No cynical look at life. Just two people falling in love in an old fashioned way, during the holidays. Getting to know someone's heart, deeply, is the way to do it. My husband and I knew each other forever, before we realized in wasn't that we were best friends, we were in love. It was that prior friendship that lead to the deepest of love. That's why I love this film so much. Don't get me wrong, I love the movie, You've Got Mail, and I will be featuring it between now and Christmas, but this one is special to me. If you can find it, watch it! Check Turner Classic Movies, they have it often during Christmastime. Watch, The Shop Around The Corner, first, then watch, You've Got Mail!

Autumn Amas Veritas



"I didn't ask for it to be over, but then again, I never asked for it to begin. For that's the way it is with life, as some of the most beautiful days come completely by chance. But even the most beautiful days eventually have their sunsets."

Alan and I were driving down Grizzly Peak Blvd this evening, on our way to do some Christmas errands, but I couldn't think about the things on the to do list, because there was the most amazing sunset happening over the bay, so vibrant, so striking that I kept expecting it to make some kind of noise! Music I think.

Yes...

Music!

Amas Veritas











I wish the photos were sharper. I wish I could have held each and every turn. I wish I was looking at that amazing sunset right now, because I know I will never see it the same way again. I wish autumn would never leave. Sigh.

"I didn't ask for it to be over, but then again, I never asked for it to begin. For that's the way it is with life, as some of the most beautiful days come completely by chance. But even the most beautiful days eventually have their sunsets."

That's the way it is with love and autumn I suppose.

Happiness.

I Want A Monkee And A Monkey



"Without music life would be a mistake."

-Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche

I have researched all kinds of music quotes to go with my entries about my great love of music, but somehow I keep coming back to this one. It sums up how I feel about music completely. It is also how I still feel about Micky Dolenz. If you have been reading me for long, you know I have been hopelessly in love with Micky Dolenz for about... oh... 43 years or so. LOL. Some of you probably remember my great excitement a few years ago, when I got to go to one of his concerts on the beach in Santa Cruz in 2005. It made my year, and fulfilled my lifelong fantasy of finally getting to see him preform in person. He came into town, broke my curse with Santa Cruz, and hasn't been back since. And I just checked, and he is not on the list of scheduled performers for the summer concert series. So, is there a new curse? Will he ever comeback? Or is it actually that the curse wasn't broken, and that is why he hasn't been back since? LOL. Micky... I miss you!

Give me your opinion. Will Micky ever comeback to Santa Cruz? Do you have a favorite Monkee? And what type of animal monkey is your favorite. Personally, I love chimpanzees. I would own one if I could. How about you? Would you prefer a monkee or a monkey?

The Monkees
