Snowflake Challenge Day 3

In your own space, tell us who, from one of your fandoms, would you most want to have dinner with (or tea, or a random afternoon visit), And why? This could be a creator, an actor, a costumer, a set designer, a director, a character, a composer, anybody! What would you talk about? What are you dying to know?

This is really tough but I think I am going to go with the first entity that popped into my mind and that was Gandalf the Grey from Lord of the Rings otherwise known as Mithrandir. I have always thought he was a really cool character and in our dinner party, I would want to have a very hobbit-like feast. Tons of food and a cozy place to sit in and a stoop to sit on so we could watch the sunset and Gandalf could blow his really cool smoke rings from his pipe. I imagine long interesting conversations about his adventures in the world and wanderings and much merriment. He appears in the form of Ian McLellan in the movie-verse, of course, because that is the image I have of him now. I think that just works for Gandalf and was just such a good portrayal of him. So it would be a nice long dinner and a smoke after. I would ask him about all of his adventures and have him tell me his stories. He is just such a fascinating person. So that is what I think for this one.

Peter Jackson was a close one on this too - just would love to talk to him about the LOTR films and all that - but Gandalf was first for me.

It's run off elections in GA today and I cannot even watch it on TV. It is stressing me out too much. Steve Kornacki totally stresses me out. He is great but his county by county breakdown stuff gets me agitated. I am checking the NYTimes bigger picture thing online and that is about where I am at right now. I am watching Law and Order SVU reruns on the TV. There is always SVU.

No writing done today. I better get back at it or I will be in trouble. So will try and write some tomorrow.

Tomorrow is the Congressional sh*t show from the Republicans. I hope they put that where it belongs - in the trash heap of history. Their coalition is called the Jim Crow Caucus because they are trying to invalidate the black vote essentially. That fits - hope they are proud of themselves. Look at what Trump gets people to do. Not sure how he does - but it sure is ruinous. I am not sure how they come back from this.

I took a nice long walk with my friend, J**** today and that was nice. We walked along Piedmont Avenue in Oakland. Nice day out today. We found a new shop that had beautiful plants and other things in it - kind of like a shop made for us. I found a nice pot for one of my new plants and it was very reasonably priced. So score.

Anyways. That is all I have today. Work is work. Lots to do on that tomorrow. I will be busy.

Stay safe and healthy where you are. Love to you.
