The things you think about when you have a few spare minutes...

Couple of odd ramblings from me tonight...

First one is, did you notice the big bold moon or whatever it’s called when the moon is closer to the planet than usual? Well, I didn’t know about it. We were sitting by the Murray River last night enjoying a drink or three and I look out over the water wondering if the Murray Princess or another of the river queens was on her way in the dark with the spotlights on. It was the bloody moon! It was huge and the reflection it cast over the surface of the water was amazing. I wish now that I had taken a photo of it so you could all be mesmerised by its glow. But that isn’t the topic for this part of the blog. The huge moon got me thinking about memories and what triggers them. Suddenly I was cast back to 1993 (no I didn’t remember this year off the top of my head and yes, I am guessing a little but since that was the year of the last humongous moon, I’m going with it) I was about eleven years old and having a sleep over at my best friend’s house with her and her brother. Anyway, we emerge from the tent on the hill to pee (wtmi) and there was the moon. It was a clear, cool night and there I was, tired but running on the adrenaline truth or dare brings about, and the moon seemed so close I could have reached out and touched it.

Years on, when I realised it was the moon I looked at and not the Murray Princess, that was the memory to jump into my head. So what does the moon do for you? And please no werewolf stories.

I just finished reading Red Riding Hood—the version the newest movie is based on—and I have to say, not the best book I’ve read this year. Not enough about werewolves for starters. I guessed who it was about half way through the book but the story line doesn’t follow any of the usual werewolf tropes, not much anyway.  Don’t even get me started on the ending. I think this is going to be one of those very rare cases where the movie far outshines the book. At least I hope so since I want to see the movie. Another thing that put me off was in the introduction where they tell you that it’s Leonardo Di Caprio’s film company who started the barrel rolling on this project.  Not. A. Fan. The beach was alright in a very strange, drug related, should have done a few lines before seeing the movie, kind of way. (Not that I’m that way inclined, there are just some movies you should only see drunk or off your face.)


For those of you wondering...

“What big eyes you have.”

“The better to see you with, my dear.”

“What big ears you have.”

“The better to hear you with.”

“What big teeth you have.”

“The better to eat you with.” Followed by a growl...

If you read it or watch it, let me know what you think.

Nighty night!

About time you blogged again, I have missed my favourite romance interaction! My only thought about a full moon is that it makes the Garfish dive deeper and they are harder to catch. Oh...and it does bring out the crazies. Not very romantic I know.

haha, Rob, I'm trying to swing back into it. For once in my life, I had nothing to say =)

I didn't know that about Garfish but then I'm not allowed to go fishing... And speaking of crazies, usually the full moon makes your beautiful grandchildren go nuts but they were surprisingly well behaved. All in all a good effort and a fun time was had by all! Thanks for coming back and for commenting.

    I'm a published author but I'm still mostly stumbling about in the dark looking for the right paths so this blog is about that, though sometimes something will give the me the shits and I'll have a bit of a rant. I'll try not to be offensive but occasionally my mouth opens without asking my brain's permission so I'll apologise in advance.
