The second play of the summer start tonight! I hope some of you will have a chance to head out and see it while they perform. The cast spend a lot of time preparing, and each show is a little unique. Since I'm posting this reminder before seeing the show, I am going in blind as to the theme of the play. (I mean, why spoil it right?)

Just Visiting : Shakespeare in Delaware Park : The Winter's Tale
There are only a few more showings left of The Winter's Tale before they are on break until the second show starts. While it isn't one of the plays I had seen before, It has similarities to some of the others making it very enjoyable. If you have a chance to head out to see it you definitely ought to. We saw the show this past Sunday.
Being close to the water made it cooler temperature wise than some may have expected.
Shakespeare in Delaware Park
Tuesday through Sunday evenings at 7:30 pm you can enjoy a free evening of professional theatre. Bring a blanket or chair to sit on, your own refreshments and someone to enjoy the show with, unless you prefer to sit alone. They do accept donations.
Losing Media : Disney Movie Club
I am posting this, more as a thought on the current trend I have been witnessing. Where online streaming is replacing hard copy media. People seem to be enjoying the convenience of online movie rentals, as well as audio streaming. But what does that mean for people in the long term?
This is where I finally got an official copy of Mr. Boogedy, and The Bride of Boogedy. Previously I had only been able to get a copy that someone transferred from a TV tape of the original airing of the films on the Disney Night Movies. The quality of the official DVD is much better (even though the slight clipping of commercials takes me back to the copy my parents had for us that we watched foreverrrrrr)
Anyway, I just wanted to save a screenshot of their goodbye page, as well as the 3 panel image they sent in their goodbye email. Mostly because I am sorry to see it go, even if I only used it minimally. Some things will still be remembered while they are gone.
My worry now though, is what do we do when physical copies are being made obsolete? They're not making DVDs as readily available at stores anymore, so how are we going to get copies of the movies we love and want to collect for places and times there are no streaming services available? It's definitely something to keep in mind.

What's on Screen : Playground
OK. There is a lot to unpack here. But let's just.... go with the fact... this is what the inside of my brain has been like lately. And having a way to actually show it in a way someone else might understand actually has me in tears.

Lindars' Stories Revisited : Mermaids Lament
Mermaids Lament
my heart is yearning for the sea
the place where once I roamed
among the green and ferny fronds
beside my hidden home
but foolishly I desired to roam the world above
believing 'tween the forest and sands
perhaps i'd fall in love
but people are not quite the same
they're burnt and hardened by the sun
not like those gentle souls that live
in mere moonlight strands of gold
but too late it is I've realized
that there is no return
for dreaming and wishing is all that's left
for a lost oceans soul
