Who are your favorite artists?
For the purpose of this post, I will narrow my artists to Television/Film Actors.
In her blog post on National Dog Day, Beth talked about the movie ‘Dog Day Afternoon’ starring Al Pacino.
I had not seen the movie. I made a note to do so and I did. I was not surprised by his performance. He has always been outstanding.
I have seen most of his movies… The Godfather, Scarface, Any Given Sunday, Oceans Thirteen and the lot. I think he is an amazing actor, time and age has got nothing on his talent. He is a talented artist.
I love artists that never lose their spark even after as they age.
I have a long list of favourites and I have a short list of a few worth mentioning.
Andy Garcia. Amazing from the day he got me in ‘When a man loves a woman’ and he’s still sparkling today in ‘Father of the Bride’ and ‘Book Club: The Next Chapter’.
Julianne Moore is another one worth mentioning. I love how she fits into almost any role effortlessly. One of my favorites of hers is Laws of attraction with Brosnan. She was amazing in ‘Kingsman: The Golden Circle’.
Collin Firth… what a talented actor. I never get enough of him. Whether it’s a Western film, Romcom or Thriller, Firth delivers.
From The Bridger Jones’s stories to to Mamma Mia and to Kingsman, I’ve loved every work of his.
I think I will make another list.
What is your favorite hobby or pastime?
I don’t know if this sounds weird
But the best time for me
Is when I am alone
Doing anything
Alone
Anything could be a movie
It could be writing or reading
Maybe even a good nap.
I find comfort
Or sometimes even solace
In my alone time
How are you feeling right now?
What a coincidence; finding this as the prompt of the day.
Conflicted… That’s one of the things I feel right now… Was August good to me? Or was it not?
It wasn’t so bad, but I expected better.
Thankful… It’s another way I’m feeling. I’ve been able to guard my heart and maintain joy in it in spite of a few pitfalls
Hopeful… That September will do me good.

If you could bring back one dinosaur, which one would it be?
I love period dramas and romcoms, I love country music, I love beans…
Not everyone likes or understands why I like these things…but I guess it’s different strokes…
I have never been fascinated about dinosaurs. I have never understood people’s fascination about them either.
I would never willingly pick out a dinosaur movie…but I know a number of people who would.
One of them is paleontologist Ross Geller, my second favourite character from the sitcom Friends.
If I could bring back one dinosaur, I would bring it back only because Ross wants it and I would let him pick which one he wants back… I learnt it’s the Mezesoic Mastodon.
What is your favorite genre of music?
It makes my heart smile.
Even when I am down… It finds a way to pick me up.
With most of them… The drawl and rich baritone does me in.
The touch of every guitar string.
The relatable lyrics in almost every song.
The simple things that you begin to value as you listen.
It’s all so whole and real.
I love Country music
Do you remember your favorite book from childhood?
I didn’t have a favorite book.
My sister did.
And so I found myself picking it up everytime I went to the school Library.
I think she liked it because she was friends with two other girls and together they had a thing… Just like the book.
I hit the search for an image of this book today and I found it… but I was in doubt. There was a photo of two boys and a girl. I thought it used to be three girls.
I called my sister up immediately and she was shocked too. We both remembered it differently.
I sent her some photos I had found and she replied;
This page is so vivid like yesterday.
Msugh
The mind of a child is so plain, I didn’t think much about the difference in the sex of the friends. I was just excited to read about them as I also was in a threesome friendship, some things come as we grow older
Her favorite book became mine.
Three Friends – Montgomery, Baruch And Gray. 1944
Describe one simple thing you do that brings joy to your life.
I haven’t responded to any daily prompts in a while… but this one, no I couldn’t ignore this one.
As simple as listening to music seems, it brings me so much joy.
Especially the ones with the funny lyrics… Not funny funny but weird funny. I don’t know if this makes sense. You listen and wonder how they came up with such thoughts in the first place.
I actually had been laughing at Lewis Capaldi and his Forget Me when I saw this prompt.
So, the one thing that I do that brings joy to my life is simply turning on the music.
Write a letter to your 100-year-old self.
What are you doing, staying up this late?
Shouldn’t you be asleep by now?
While I got your attention, I would like to know… Was our life all you dreamed it would be?
Tell me about every decade. What happens when I turn 70? What will I know then that I do not already know now?
Will everything be worth the wait?
What are people calling you now? Great grandma? Or are you greater?
What did you do? Will I be proud of the choices you made?
It really doesn’t matter does it? I still get to see for myself.
Are you happy? Do you still love all the things that I do?
I can’t believe you stayed up this late.
Go to sleep, it’s way past your bedtime.
With all my love… Mimi
