MindHunter Adventures

Today we did some housing until it was time to see a friend. Luna had a blast with her buddy, playing with all sorts of toys. I successfully got them to clean up (and not trip over) those plastic balls put type balls by making a game of seeing how much they could get into their buckets. Of course, the clean floor didn't last but at least none of us were tripping over balls, just stepping on fish, heh. My husband had a grand old time previewing the PlayStation 5 his friend had gotten. They played from the late afternoon and well into the night, only stopping for dinner. While all this was going on the wife showcased the Netflix show she was currently watching: Mindhunters. It's a fictional version of real-life FBI serial killer crime interviews and the physiological behaviors of why and how to figure out who, where, and what. As the first season in the 1970s and the second into the 1980s, I guess it also showcases they created Such a unit (as they didn't have anything like it beforehand). The show is based on the book and the 2 main FBI agents are based on the same 2 main characters in the book (so says Wikipedia). The author is a retired actual FBI agent John E. Douglas and along with his co-author, Mark Olshaker, they have written several crime thrillers to their name. I almost couldn't handle the show, because while I find delving into minds interesting, serial killers and thriller/horror suspense is, well to suspenseful and nerve racking for me, but I would recommend it to all those who like that stuff! 

I also made a blanket skirt!

Building a metaphor

Image
The woman stares at the photo album of her kid’s block builds. Should she post them anywhere to share? She and her daughter are so proud of them. They had so much fun doing it, too. However... However, they are all fairly similar. The foundation and framework, as well as the appearance are similar enough that, while she names them differently (sometimes), one would or could think all the photos being viewed are just one build multiplied by however many photos there are. Are there people out there wanting to see them? Does it really matter? Her and her daughter are so proud of them… I find myself metaphorically using building blocks as verbage for a lot of things in life. While the scene above was a concern for showing off literal building blocks photos, it also showcases the vulnerability the woman has for letting the world into her home.  The first line of building blocks are usually the foundation. Consider her image of vulnerability but also her want of showing off her child’s bui

Maids, Wives, and Widows

So this a book a week thing is harder then I was thinking it would be. Finding books that aren't my normal and slowing down to be able to think and write about it...it takes some effort and time I didn't realize was needed. Also spending all day on a book makes my husband (who gets frustrated with my book reading anyway) a bit grumpy, lol. So This book was based on English women in history between the 1570s and the 1770s. Maids (the young unmarried women) seemed to have the most freedom in terms of how they were thought of. Wives seemed to have most of the work, and widows seemed to be kind of stuck, to be honest (they paid their dues as a wife but couldn't do much with them). The book kept referring to this time as the early modern-day, which I can see, sort of. This time frame had a lot of modern-day thinking, they relied on the medical/science (of the day) and church for all their new and improved, from the home and its housewifely and chide rearing, to the health and

Crafting: Weaving

Image
So I want to produce one craft a week (I feel like I am biting off more then I can chew, here, actually). I figured this way my stop and go love/hate relationship and half-finished and just started projects that I am famous for in my house, can all be increased! haha, well, hopefully, the projects will be completed (especially since it will give me something to write about). Today's post: weaving! So I got a weaving kit at some point at the beginning of our stay in NC and realized while i enjoyed the act of weaving and  (I really like using them as inner layers for stuff), the lap loom I had, was, well, lap-sized, so it was small with slits for the warp (the vertical material along with the frame) the were evenly spaced but a good 24 of them notched together. I had trouble keeping my warp on the notches, to begin with but it all felt so...claustrophobic-ly small! Once I found ways to use existing furniture that the shape I wanted to weave (it was usually bigger), I quickly ditched
