It's been awhile! And this post doesn't have a picture. There are times when I wanted to write about something, but didn't have an image that matched, so those posts went unwritten. I'm still doing picture posts! Because I like pictures. But I'm going to try more posts without pictures as well. Thoughts. Ideas. Whatevers. Wanderous Whatnots.
Not going to talk much about the situation at large. We all have a myriad of experiences. Some similar. Some very different. Luckily where I live we didn't go into complete lock down, so random walks and drives were allowed. Even so I still feel claustrophobic and struggling with motivation. We're all fighting our way through, and it's good to keep fighting so we don't lose ourselves.
I am getting stir crazy! Several days ago I dreamed I was in Japan and dropped off two suitcases to be held in two different locations. When I went to get them, I couldn't. Translation barrier. When I woke up I thought it meant I wanted to start traveling again. Then I decided to look up dream meanings out of curiosity.
One website said: "To dream of lost luggage represents feelings about having lost
your ability to “keep it together” during or after a transitional
moment. Feeling unprepared or not ready for something you expected to be
ready for." That feels pretty spot on. Another website said: "Losing your luggage or items from your luggage is actually a good
symbol in a dream. It is a request to let go of baggage or past issues
that you are carrying around. It doesn’t matter in the dream what is in
the bags. The bags represent issues that are holding you back." Heh, so it's hard to know which meaning is more fitting. Maybe both are applicable! Honestly, yeah, I think both meanings work, and I did have two suitcases that were lost.
I'm trying to figure out if I should keep doing movie reviews, as the theaters are closed. I've seen Emma and Onward, so those will get reviewed. Maybe I can talk about classics, or movies that have meant something to me. I'm still not quite sure how I feel about the digital releases taking place. I understand the need for studios to make immediate money, but are theaters going to have movies to show when they do open? And after all this time will they be able to open? Hopefully.
There is a locally own theater that created an impromptu drive-in several weeks ago, and that seems to be doing well. But there's just something so nice about going to the movies and getting a bucket of popcorn. Hopefully the industry can pull through. But also, these movies getting early digital releases are going for around $20 for 48 hr. access. There are movies I want to see that my family doesn't, and in the past when that happened I would go to $5 Tuesdays. Tuesdays are what made it possible for me to see so many movies. We'll see. There are so many unknowns.
And that has me now thinking about Disneyland. So many thoughts on this matter. I think Disney World will open, most likely partially, before Disneyland. The situation between Florida and California, plus the different ways the Governors are approaching the situation, means one might open before the other. Honestly, I think Universal will probably open first in Florida, and Disney World will watch. It will be interesting to see how this all happens. I wonder how different things would be if Disney didn't buy Fox.
One thing I don't want is virtual queues, which is something I've been reading is a probability for managing crowds and social distancing. Not saying this will happen, as I haven't a clue, but this speculation is popping up. I didn't want to deal with Rise of the Resistance when I went last February. The thought of crowding into the park before opening, trying to get a spot for a ride that has limited availability, and then having all the spots filled within minutes, possibly missing out, was something I didn't want to deal with, especially since my two nieces and Mom were with me, and all of us would have needed to be in the park at the same time to get the boarding passes.
Can you imagine doing virtual queues for all the rides? All of the spots filled up within the first few minutes of park opening, people desperate just to ride a ride. Can you imagine going to the parks early, paying all that money, and not being able to get on any ride? And people are going to crowd around waiting for their boarding group to open. It would be a mess. It's a tricky situation.
I have other thoughts, but I think I'll bring this post to an end. Oh, I really wish I had a Nintendo Switch or lite. Both are impossible to buy as they're all sold out, and I really don't have the money, but that Animal Crossing New Beginnings game does look like fun. Heh, so maybe it's a good thing I don't have one, as it would suck me in and I'd really lose all sense of time. I have a Nintendo 3DS that hasn't been turned on in the last few years, and I have games I got on sale that haven't been played, so priorities. I should see if I can even charge the 3DS up. Hopefully it still works. Heh. :/
Until next time.
It really is weird not attaching a photo to this blog post.
