Every Day I Start My Journaling With "HI BEAT!"

Wow. That was exciting. So Jamie’s back again. I mean, now he’s gone again, but for a moment... just for a moment...

We talked about Tik Tok. I talk about it a lot with Amber too. But I don’t even really understand what it is. The Tik Tok stuff I talk about with Amber (“Yep...nope...”) is actually reels on IG. So I looked up Tik Tok, and I have a slightly (extremely slightly) better idea of what it is after watching this. It seems like a good way to do... something… I’m not sure what. Lip sync?

The mention of “rabbit hole” sent me down a rabbit hole rabbit hole. I remember loving the book Watership Downas a kid, although I don’t remember much about it,  and here’s a trailer for the trippy 70’s animated film. 

 And of course, here is our old pal (especially Amber’s) the not-director of Birdman waxing rhapsodic about Watership Down, the prose of Richard Adams, and animation for adults.

 Do people really not know the story of Rip Van Winkle?

There’s some great B-roll of my gorgeous home town in this report on the militarized containment zone in the Queen City of the Sound. The report is dated March 13, 2020, so I guess it was just a couple of days before everything shut down? And look where we are now...

And finally, we can’t have a mention of Jamie’s Grandma without using it ias an excuse to replay this Frank Pulaski classic about Grandmother nicknames, from back in the day...
