Sunday Slowdown
Sun is missing on this side of the earth. No, I am not saying it is lonely or sad. It is not just a sunny Sunday. Everything is grey out, yeah. But I will try to will myself to "shoot around" before burying myself with my homework. Thinking about the homework makes me wish there is another Saturday and Sunday tomorrow. Do not get me wrong. I am cool with Monday. Nah. Half-half.
Umbrella day it is. Rain poured with so much gusto around 1 in the morning. it started with a pitter patter and then relentless drumming building up on crescendo as I went and folded in on the battle against sleepiness. While the cold breeze that went with it is welcome, I am not a fan for the wet pavement. I hate after rain walks where you end up with splatters of street dirt behind your legs or your pants. Although wet pavements mean good reflection pools and puddles that I can use for good street pics.
Not moving from where I am sitting, of course, will not make that happen. Haha. I am so happy my brain is super active in the day dreaming area I can go places without spending a penny.
Daydreams do come from some other experiences -direct and indirect -so I need to put in or add more to that experience bucket. And unless I move from where I am, I will not discover other possibilities. I battle with my homebody self and my hunger for discovery and capturing things that I may only see for right that very moment. So sometimes it takes a whole day convincing myself I need to go out. And I always end up not regretting the choice - wether going out or not.
As I start typing this part, it starts to drizzle again. So I am taking that as "no going out". Unless, that glimmer of sunlight will start to push through the grey clouds. This drizzle and after rain can make me interested with shooting raindrops. Like this picture below I took some long time ago.
Yes, that is one bright idea. I might just walk around the yard and see what my grandmother's or my aunt's garden can show and surprise me with. They had a jolly trimming time clearing out debris and trunks I might just got lucky to put Groot on one of the stumps.
Switching to Netflix while planning the rest of my afternoon. I just happened to play this new series. I thought it was a movie but three episodes down now so the story keeps getting interesting. Spy stuff. So yes no going out. I got myself stuck now. This title is new on my queue. I did not see it last night after the anime I was watching ( i was using it for ear training). This one is titled In From the Cold.
Letting myself get drowned into the stories I get to watch makes me appreciate filmmaking and screenplay writing. I am amused at how all these gets incorporated into one work of art.
Old folks I got to talk to say photography is basic in film as well. That got my eyes searching for rule of thirds in each clips in the film. They plan this too, right? How much of the frame a character's face will fill in? At what angle their portraits will not look flat? How close should the camera zoom in to show the brow and the eye expressions? Amazing.
Well, I am amusing myself with that thought while trying to absorb the story. Multi tasking on a sunday slowdown because why not? It is, after all, in English. Not korean, not Japanese. I do not need to read the subtitles to get the story.
Down to the last word and I am running out of thoughts.
How are you spending your Sunday afternoon?
I ran out of words... And the series is getting heated. So excuse me...

A-ha! You're checking out the technical and creative side of what you're watching! Cool... been doing that, too. Sometimes, that preoccupies me more than the series or film itself. Har har har! It rained just now. Darn. I. DO.NOT. LIKE.HUMID.DAYS. And that's what the rain did. It turned my surroundings humid.
