Reading
I am not a big reader of media tie-in books but I occasionally dabble. This week I decided to try a Stargate SG-1 novel. I ran into the same problem that keeps me from reading those kinds of books more often. The main characters don’t seem to match up with who I think they are. On TV those character’s thoughts and motivations are open to interpretation by the viewer. In books, those thoughts are spelled out and in many cases make the character into a stranger. I may read more SG-1 novels as I miss seeing new episodes on TV but I have to go into it expecting a different cast.
Illness and Worry
My daughter got a vaccine on Monday and had an odd reaction to it. She was sick for the rest of the week and many calls went back and forth to the doctor’s office while we were figuring things out. In reality, this ordeal was very mild compared to those I know others go through but the bottomless fountain of worry that exists in the pit of my stomach was a scary thing to live with.
Theater Flashbacks
I went to see the high school production of The Sound of Music with my daughters last night. The show was put on in the same theater I spent four years in when I was in high school. I was an orchestra and drama geek and I knew just about every nook and cranny (if it didn’t involve heights) of that theater. Being in it again last night was a trip down memory lane. I have a craving for memorizing lines, trying on costumes, and the powdery smell of stage make-up.
How was your week?
