Sunday Muse -- Not used

 


My (Our) Heading 

Seeing another time is scary 
Are we looking ahead or behind 
Or to the left or to the right 
Perhaps upwards or woefully down 

I (we) see with the eyes and with the mind 
What's with the eyes is generally real 
But with my mind I cannot trust 
There enters fear and emotions 

Flavored by the other senses 
Is it real or do I imagine 
Life is complicated we must cope 
Sleep and day dreams will give relief 

Thinking of all this and more is too much 
I'm giving in and will float with time 
Doing that is hard if one must think 
A third parameter enters in 

My body's needs must be sustained 
Here desires too play a part 
These two are life's rudders and paddles 
Stay on my pad of ice there's no brake 

When the ice melts things will fastly change 
Am I the dog who can swim to shore 
Or the cat who hasn't learned to swim 

Can there be a miracle to come 
Surely one is needed else I die
 _ _ _ 

 - This is not a finished writing and I do not intend to finish. Somewhere in the process I lost track of my ending and then I couldn't get back to it fast or efficiently.  I have its replacement here,

Some assistance (??) to a poet in need of ideas



(Click on a picture to make it a larger size.  Clicking again should make it super sized)
 
Thank you, ____, for this assignment.  Here is what comes to mind (after your explanation of where you stopped writing) and then a few follow-up thoughts:

1.  An unfinished edible, probably a drink, left on the coffee table overnight.  Who left it?  Why?  What happened to it when found?


2.  Dying but not dead yet, written in the first person.  When will death probably occur?  Why is he/she dying?  Blame?  Regrets? Pain (I just took a hydrocodone pill for a horrible toothache.  I have an appointment with my dentist in the morning.)?


Best wishes with finishing, these sound like fun writing after I saw them in print.  I might save them, I save every thing, it goes in spurts. 
..

Tomball man accused of recording teen in girl’s dressing room

A Tomball man faces charges after he allegedly left his cell phone recording in a Kohl’s Department Store dressing room, where a teen girl was changing, court records show.
Ronnie Hoyt Royston, 37, is accused of improper photograph, visual recording for the incident on June 4 at 14443 FM 2920 in Tomball, according to a charging document from the Harris County District Court.
A 16-year-old girl told police she noticed the man following her in the Kohl’s. When she was in a dressing room changing, she noticed a pair of men’s shorts lying underneath a bench, where she found a hidden cell phone recording her, the document states.
Surveillance footage showed Royston placing his cell phone inside the dressing room and a witness told police that she watched the man follow the girls through the store, the document states. Houston police were able to identify the suspect by tracing the cell phone number through the provider. Police were able to confirm that the girl was taped on the man’s phone and he had taken pictures of her, the document states.
Royston has not been arrested and his bail is set at $2,000.

Peter Faulk, a.k.a. Columbo, has died

Houson Chronicle, AP article
http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/ap/top/all/7626089.html
Peter Falk, TV's rumpled Columbo, has died
By FRAZIER MOORE AP Television Writer © 2011 The Associated Press
June 24, 2011, 7:34PM

NEW YORK — The best way to celebrate Peter Falk's life is to savor how Columbo, his signature character, fortified our lives.

Thanks to Falk's affectionately genuine portrayal, Lt. Columbo established himself for all time as a champion of any viewer who ever felt less than graceful, elegant or well-spoken.

Falk died Thursday at age 83 in his Beverly Hills, Calif., home, according to a statement released Friday by family friend Larry Larson. But Columbo lives on as the shining ideal of anyone with a smudge on his tie, whose car isn't the sportiest, who often seems clueless, who gets dissed by fancy people.

As a police detective, Columbo's interview technique was famously disjointed, with his inevitable awkward afterthought ("Ahhh, there's just one more thing...") that tried the patience of his suspect as he was halfway out the door.

Columbo was underestimated, patronized or simply overlooked by nearly everyone he met — especially the culprit.

And yet Columbo, drawing on inner pluck for which only he (and an actor as skilled as Falk) could have accounted, always prevailed. Contrary to all evidence (that is, until he nailed the bad guy), Columbo always knew what he was doing.

Even more inspiring for viewers, he was unconcerned with how other people saw him. He seemed to be perfectly happy with himself, his life, his pet basset, Dog, his wheezing Peugeot, and his never-seen wife. A squat man chewing cigars in a rumpled raincoat, he stands tall among TV's most self-assured heroes.

What viewer won't take solace forever from the lessons Columbo taught us by his enduring example?

Columbo — he never had a first name — presented a refreshing contrast to other TV detectives. "He looks like a flood victim," Falk once said. "You feel sorry for him. He appears to be seeing nothing, but he's seeing everything. Underneath his dishevelment, a good mind is at work."

On another occasion, he described Columbo as "an ass-backwards Sherlock Holmes."

"As a person, he was like Columbo. He was exactly the same way: a great sense of humor, constantly forgetting things," said Charles Engel, an NBCUniversal executive who worked with Falk on "Columbo" and was his neighbor and longtime friend.

He remembered Falk as a "brilliant" actor and "an amazingly wonderful, crazy guy," and said a script was in place for a two-hour "Columbo" special, but Falk's illness made the project impossible. In a court document filed in December 2008, Falk's daughter Catherine Falk said her father was suffering from Alzheimer's disease.

Somehow fittingly, Falk — the perfect choice to play Columbo — failed to be the first choice. Instead, the role was offered to easygoing crooner Bing Crosby. Fortunately, he turned it down.

With Falk in place, "Columbo" began its run in 1971 as part of the NBC Sunday Mystery Movie series, appearing every third week. The show became by far the most popular of the three mysteries, the others being "McCloud" and "McMillan and Wife."

Falk was reportedly paid $250,000 a movie and could have made much more if he had accepted an offer to convert "Columbo" into a weekly series. He declined, reasoning that carrying a weekly detective series would be too great a burden.

NBC canceled the three series in 1977. In 1989 ABC offered "Columbo" in a two-hour format usually appearing once or twice a season. The movies continued into the 21st century. "Columbo" appeared in 26 foreign countries and was a particular favorite in France and Iran.

Columbo's trademark: an ancient raincoat Falk had once bought for himself. After 25 years on television, the coat became so tattered it had to be replaced.

Falk was already an experienced Broadway actor and two-time Oscar nominee when he began playing Columbo. And, long before then, he had demonstrated a bit of Columbo-worthy spunk: at 3, he had one eye removed because of cancer.

Then, when he was starting as an actor in New York, an agent told him, "Of course, you won't be able to work in movies or TV because of your eye." And after failing a screen test at Columbia Pictures, he was told by studio boss Harry Cohn that "for the same price I can get an actor with two eyes."

But Falk prevailed, even before "Columbo," picking up back-to-back Oscar nominations as best supporting actor for the 1960 mob drama "Murder, Inc." and Frank Capra's last film, the 1961 comedy-drama "Pocketful of Miracles."

Paying tribute, actor-comedian Michael McKean said, "Peter Falk's assault on conventional stardom went like this: You're not conventionally handsome, you're missing an eye and you have a speech impediment. Should you become a movie star? Peter's correct answer: Absolutely.

"I got to hang with him a few times and later worked a day with him on a forgettable TV movie," McKean went on, calling Falk "a sweet, sharp and funny man with a great soul. Wim Wenders called it correctly in `Wings of Desire': He was an angel if there ever was one on Earth."

"There is literally nobody you could compare him to. He was a completely unique actor," said Rob Reiner, who directed Falk in "The Princess Bride."

"His personality was really what drew people to him. ... He had this great sense of humor and this great natural quality nobody could come close to," Reiner said. Falk's work with Alan Arkin in "The In-Laws" represents "one of the most brilliant comedy pairings we've seen on screen."

Peter Michael Falk was born in 1927, in New York City and grew up in Ossining, N.Y., where his parents ran a clothing store.

After serving as a cook in the merchant marine and receiving a master's degree in public administration from Syracuse University, Falk worked as an efficiency expert for the budget bureau of the state of Connecticut.

He also acted in amateur theater and was encouraged to become a professional by actress-teacher Eva Le Gallienne.

An appearance in "The Iceman Cometh" off-Broadway led to other parts, among them Josef Stalin in Paddy Chayefsky's 1964 "The Passion of Josef D." In 1971, Falk scored a hit in Neil Simon's "The Prisoner of Second Avenue," Tony-nominated for best play.

Falk made his film debut in 1958 with "Wind Across the Everglades" and established himself as a talented character actor with his performance as the vicious killer Abe Reles in "Murder, Inc."

Among his other movies: "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World," "Robin and the Seven Hoods," "The Great Race," "Luv," "Castle Keep," "The Cheap Detective" and "The Brinks Job."

Falk also appeared in a number of art-house favorites, including "Wings of Desire" (in which he played himself as a former angel), and the semi-improvisational films "Husbands" and "A Woman Under the Influence," directed by his friend John Cassavetes.

"Today we lost someone who is very special and dear to my heart. Not only a wonderful actor but a very great friend," said Gena Rowlands, who co-starred with Falk in the latter film, and was married to the late Cassavetes.

Falk became prominent in television movies, beginning with his first Emmy for "The Price of Tomatoes" in 1961. His four other Emmys were for "Columbo."

He was married to pianist Alyce Mayo in 1960; they had two daughters, Jackie and Catherine, and divorced in 1976. The following year he married actress Shera Danese. They filed for divorce twice and reconciled each time.

When not working, Falk spent time in the garage of his Beverly Hills home. He had converted it into a studio where he created charcoal drawings. He took up art in New York when he was in the Simon play and one day happened into the Art Students League.

He recalled: "I opened a door and there she was, a nude model, shoulders back, a light from above, buck-ass naked. The female body is awesome. Believe me, I signed up right away."

Falk is survived by his wife Shera and his two daughters.

Got this e-mail from Kathy

Got this e-mail:
.
I received an email today from "Kathy Lagoli," (Google Link) kathy@thingdiamond.com, with the subject: Jim's Little Blog/(here referencing my post about Katrin's new bed) and with the body of the post as follows:
.
Hello,
.
Hey didn’t hear back from you, are you still in business ?
.
kathy
.


It came in my e-mail as a comment notification but the blog title had gotten scrambled some. I don't know why she picked on me but I do know from Google she has been targeting the blogs.
.
What she does is to leave a phone number in the second e-mail. One fellow said he actually called her. But he didn't mention his blog name or title so she stammered around a bit and hung up. He hasn't been able to contact her since.
From another blogger: "It DID get my attention simply because amomtoday.com is one of my blogs and I had recently put up the privacy policy.. I ALMOST replied to see what I had missed but something just didn’t seem right. I did a quick google of her name and found tons of others who had gotten emails from her which make no sense. They weren’t all the same but they all followed the same pattern, mentioning their blogs in the subject line."

.
I don't see any harm in opening it or calling her. I am sure something sinister is going on here but nobody Google comes up with has any idea about that.

Got this message, now ... [at least ... (we know now)] -- LaLa Land is found

.
Ever have an e-mail just disappear? The "To" person never got it. There is nothing in your sent box. It might have gone to Lala Land.
. .

That is the Funny Farm for missing computer stuff. Like "All the Gold is in Beverley Hills," "Many Missing Messages (MMM) are in Lala Land [Yahoo here]."

. . Just when I tried to send an e-mail I got this message on my screen. I determined that my message wasn't sent:

"Scheduled Maintenance


We are undertaking some essential, but extensive maintenance to improve Yahoo! Mail. During the maintenance period, some users may experience problems accessing Yahoo! Mail.We sincerely apologize for this inconvenience.


Your account is in great shape and we are working to have it available again as quickly as possible.


Yahoo! Mail Team"

Not really a problem because: [THESE WORK GOOD WITH WRITING BLOGS TOO]
1. I always do a 'Control C' copy before I send. If the message is long I do it several times. Then if Yahoo acts up I can paste into a new shell and send again.
2. Sometimes my message 'goes away.' Welcome to Lala Land. Again not a problem:
a. I've don't the trusty old 'Control C' copy and can paste a my message in a new shell.
b. I don't put the addresses in until I am ready to send. Especially where the message is long and I might not have saved things properly. At least this way a part message won't be going out.
c. When I put the addresses in I always put my own address into the "Bcc:" position.
3. Here, this time, it was Yahoo acting up. All of the above worked good. Nothing was lost except the first cut of my message. Where did it go? Into Lala Land.

Does Sarah Palin Really Hunt? - News Story - KSBW The Central Coast

Does Sarah Palin Really Hunt? - News Story - KSBW The Central Coast

Go to the article as there is a really neat CNN video about the whole matter.

Excerpted:

It's one of Sarah Palin's claims to fame -- her reputation as a moose and caribou hunter.

But a magazine article published this week is challenging those claims.

Citing an unnamed longtime friend of the Palins, Vanity Fair's Michael Gross wrote the whole hunting thing is a big farce.

"That woman has never hunted," the friend said in the article. "The picture of her with the caribou she says she shot? She got out of the RV to pose for a picture. She never helps with the fishing either. It's all a joke."

Palin shot back on Sean Hannity's radio show.

"Impotent, limp and gutless reporters take anonymous sources and cite them," she said.

The 18-page piece also cites unnamed sources in alleging Palin is a terrible tipper and has a bad temper.

"As soon as she enters her property and the door closes, even the insects in that house cringe," one friend said. "She has a horrible temper, but she has gotten away with it because she is a pretty woman."

Sarah Palin's new book

FACT CHECK: Palin's book goes rogue on some facts

By CALVIN WOODWARD Associated Press Writer The Associated Press
Saturday, November 14, 2009 1:57 AM EST (link)


"WASHINGTON (AP) — reprises familiar claims from the 2008 presidential campaign that haven't become any truer over time.
Ignoring substantial parts of her record if not the facts, she depicts herself as a frugal traveler on the taxpayer's dime, a reformer without ties to powerful interests and a politician roguishly indifferent to high ambition.

Palin goes adrift, at times, on more contemporary issues, too. She criticizes President Barack Obama for pushing through a bailout package that actually was achieved by his Republican predecessor George W. Bush — a package she seemed to support at the time.

A look at some of her statements in 'Going Rogue,' obtained by The Associated Press in advance of its release Tuesday:"

Another meme -- Jim's Sunday Stealing, from last week's list -- 001

I pulled this post (modified it greatly) from it's original posting on Jim's Little Blog of Sunday, July 26, 2009. (link) To preserve the original meme in full I have copied it over here to this blog. After all I did work hard on the meme and it should (??) be preserved.

I ask for your indulgence my care and feeding of my blogs.


- - - - - - - - - - - - -

"We" ripped this meme off a blogger known as Arnab Chakreborty from the blog The Heretic. He does not say where he got it from. But, it was probably stolen there as well. So, of course, that will be as far as we go. Tracing back our theft's thieves might take some time. Link back to us at Sunday Stealing!

Thanks to Judd of his
Sunday Stealing blog. You can get his prompts there if you want to do it or read others from his list.

I will be using the week's before list, when I do this, because I don't have time on Sundays to be writing on this blog for the current one. My other blog takes all the spare Sunday time I have tending my little poem on my One Single Impression posting. (

Credit also to Hootin' Anni of Corpus Christi. She got me going. (
