Me & My Muse – Day 4636: Wednesday Wait

Time to try some new things today, since the work drought is continuing.  With that, I will now get ready.

Today’s high is going to be 37 degrees and the silver lining is the week being halfway over.

To those of you who are waiting for Friday to come, I hope that you all have a fantastic day.

 

Muse: Just look at how small that universe is becoming!

Twin Muse: Strange dream, right?  I wonder when we’ll wake up?

 

Just look at how small that universe is becoming!

Strange dream, right?  I wonder when we’ll wake up?

What were those loud voices?  It almost made me deaf!

I have a bad feeling about this…

Me & My Muse – Day 4635: Lucky Day

Why is it lucky?  Here’s why.

It’s also lucky because I don’t have a lot to say today.  I need to get ready for for the day and look for work.

Today’s high is going to be 25 degrees and the silver lining is celebrating St. Patrick’s Day.

To those of you who are wearing green, I hope that you all have a fantastic day.

 

Muse: Wait! You’re not wearing green…I’ll let you get a shower first. I won’t pinch. I promise!

Twin Muse:  Get your shower!  I won’t pinch you either!

Me & My Muse – Day 4634: Winter’s Last Hissy Fit

While there is no new snow in my area, I am dealing with 38 mile per hour wind gusts right now.  Winter is throwing its last temper tantrum before Spring begins.

To that, I say Winter has had its time.  Grow up and make room for Spring.  We have had enough of your bone chilling temperatures in January and annoying snowfall that has impacted travel overnight.  Give me the mild and rainy days of Spring as I’ll take a downpour over a windy blizzard.

Having that said, it is now errand day.  Time to go into town and get some groceries before heading home.  That is pretty much this day in a nutshell.

Today’s high is going to be 36 degrees and the silver lining is having only three more days of cold weather.

To those of you who are sick of winter, I hope that you all have a fantastic day.

 

Muse:  I’m tired of winter!  Time to chill and stay warm inside.

Twin Muse:  Time for some coffee!  Nothing like coffee on a cold and blustery day!

Me & My Muse – Day 4632: Easy as Pi

How is today so easy?  It can be expressed in the form of pi.  With today being 3/14, I will be expressing the first 1,000 digits of pi:

And if that isn’t enough, I even have someone singing about it.  Here’s a YTMND of Kate Bush singing π.

 

Muse:  To celebrate, I’m baking a pi pie!

Twin Muse:  Same!  It should be delicious!

Have fun with that.  For me, I’ll just be observing it. Time to get ready…

Muse:  Time to bake my pi pies.  I’m baking 3.14 of them exactly…

Twin Muse:  I’m baking 3.1415926535897932384626433832795028841971693993751058209749445923 0781640628620899862803482534211706798214808651328230664709384460 9550582231725359408128481117450284102701938521105559644622948954 9303819644288109756659334461284756482337867831652712019091456485 6692346034861045432664821339360726024914127372458700660631558817 4881520920962829254091715364367892590360011330530548820466521384 1469519415116094330572703657595919530921861173819326117931051185 4807446237996274956735188575272489122793818301194912983367336244 0656643086021394946395224737190702179860943702770539217176293176 7523846748184676694051320005681271452635608277857713427577896091 7363717872146844090122495343014654958537105079227968925892354201 9956112129021960864034418159813629774771309960518707211349999998 3729780499510597317328160963185950244594553469083026425223082533 4468503526193118817101000313783875288658753320838142061717766914 7303598253490428755468731159562863882353787593751957781857780532                      1712268066130019278766111959092164201989…forget the other decimals!  It just goes on forever.  Just know that the 3.14 pi pies are going to be great!

 

Today is the day for all nerds to celebrate.  At 3:14 p.m., remember to look at your watch! Right when it turns this time, count 15 seconds and you will have pi to 5 places.  Today will consist of me having the whole day off.  Today, I will have three different pies.  The first pie will be a slice of pie at the Grand Traverse Pie Company. The second pie will be a pie.  At home, I will have a slice of Chocolate Cream Edwards pie.  The third pie will be another dessert.  Two Reese’s Big Cups.  While they’re not technically “pies“, they are pie-shaped.  The fourth and final pie will be a couple slices of pizza Pie from Jack’s Hometown Pizza for dinner.  Having that said, my Pi Day will be celebrated with food.

Today’s high is going to be 38 degrees and the silver lining is celebrating Pi Day.

To those of you who love nerdy holidays, I hope that you all have a fantastic day.

 

Muse: 3.141592653589793238462643383279502884197169399…I love Pi Day!

Twin Muse:  Is that all?  3.1415926535897932384626433832795028841971693993751058209749445923 0781640628620899862803482534211706798214…I just LOVE Pi Day!

Me & My Muse – Day 4630: TobyMac Concert…

Having finished my casing for the week, the pacing is different for this kind of weekend. Right now, I don’t have any time to waste. In cutting to the chase, I need to get ready for a TobyMac concert that I’ll be attending tonight.

So that’s the plan for today. Get ready for concert, go to concert, go home, and go to bed.

Although it’s my dad’s birthday, he is around.

There will be a birthday dinner, and I know most of the details. It will be takeout from China Palace. For the dessert it will be chocolate avocado pie and there will be ice cream.

Later on, I’ll be celebrating my dad’s birthday with the family. Besides eating out and celebrating my dad’s birthday, that’s all that’s going on for today.

Me & My Muse – Day 4626: Springing Ahead

The time has come once again to set your clocks ahead one hour.

Despite the time change, I feel rested. I made preparations the night before and feel well rested today. With my Amazon Sunday done at the post office and the evening still ahead of me, I am now going to take it easy.

Besides taking it easy and the switch to Daylight Savings Time, that’s all that’s going on for today.

Today’s high is going to be 55 degrees and the silver lining is having time to unwind.

To those of you who remembered to turn your clocks ahead, I hope that you all have a fantastic day.

Me & My Muse – Day 4625: Another Chill Day

That’s pretty much what today is. A relaxing Saturday with no work involved. Time to enjoy everything that it has to offer.

Today’s high is going to be 63 degrees and the silver lining is having this Saturday off.

To those of you who are enjoying your Saturday, I hope that you all have a fantastic day.

 

Muse: Wow.  Now I’m getting large clusters of galaxies caught in my dress!

Twin Muse: And I did I just swallow a galaxy cluster in my coffee? *sips coffee*

Me & My Muse – Day 4624: Time for another Friday…

With it being Friday at last, this is my last day to continue the search.  I want to dig deep and pursue what energizes and excites me the most.  Time to get ready.

Today’s high is going to be 56 degrees and the silver lining is the weekend being here at last.

To those of you who are glad that it’s Friday, I hope that you all have a fantastic day.

 

Muse: And the dream continues!  Those galaxies look like specs of dust!  I think I got a few of them caught in my dress!

Twin Muse: And I think I swallowed a few galaxies in my cup of coffee! *sips coffee*

Me & My Muse – Day 4623: One More Day…

Just one day remains until the weekend.  As for work, I have an Amazon Sunday and training begins on Wednesday.  More hours will be added next week.  That’s about it.  Time to get ready.

Twin Muse: Time for another galactic cup of coffee! *sips coffee*

Me & My Muse – Day 4622: Halfway There

By this, I mean halfway to another weekend.  In the meantime, I want to find something meaningful to do until the Post Office remembers that I exist.  I should have more to do once I can learn routes and volunteer at other Post Offices.  Time to get ready now.

Today’s high is going to be 52 degrees and the silver lining is having the chance to do something meaningful today.

To those of you who are waiting for Friday, I hope that you all have a fantastic day.

 

Muse: Now the entire Milky Way is on my tummy!  This is a weird dream, but I love it!

Twin Muse: What’s better is that I get to drink a cup of coffee bigger than a galaxy!  *sips coffee*

Me & My Muse – Day 4621: Another Toast

That’s pretty much it.  Just another Toastmasters meeting on another Tuesday.  Time to get ready.

Today’s high is going to be 41 degrees and the silver lining is having time to find more work.

To those of you who are looking forward to Friday, I hope that you all have a fantastic day.

 

Muse: I wonder how long it will take for Kyle to notice that the earth is lying on my tummy?  It’s the size of a marble!

Twin Muse: I know!  It’s the solar system so tiny?  This is a very strange dream!  I wonder when we’ll wake up?

*both Muse and Twin Muse continue growing exponentially, beginning to outgrow the Milky Way*

Me & My Muse – Day 4620: Marching Forward

With the anime movie marathon done, my evenings are freed up once again.

As for work, I’m still waiting for things to transpire at the post office.  Once the vehicle gets fixed, my training can continue.

Time to continue.

Today’s high is going to be 37 degrees and the silver lining is having some time to unwind.

To those of you who like breaks, I hope that you all have a fantastic day.

 

Muse: I’m enormous!  Isn’t this fun?

Twin Muse: It is, twinnie!  The best part about this is that it’s just a dream!

*both Muse and Twin Muse continue growing exponentially while the entire scenery changes around them*

Me & My Muse – Day 4619: A Bathhouse…

Our Anime movie journey ends with a bathhouse. A bathhouse to an abandoned theme park.  A theme park now overrun with spirits…

The bathhouse is important, since the spirits get cleansed here. But do know that if you get a job here, your name will be taken away from you. And if you forget your name, you may never leave the spirit realm.

One such thing happened to a girl named Chihiro. Her name was taken away and was given the name Sen. Her parents, too ended up missing as they were turned into pigs after eating the forbidden food of the spirits…

But there is hope for her to get it back. Both her name and her parents. And it is through a mysterious boy named Haku.

Muse: This movie is my most favorite of all.

Twin Muse:  Isn’t it?  This is my most favorite too!

I like it too. Right now, I want to enjoy myself before watching the movie later.

Muse: Go ahead. I still need to shower. Let me know when you watch it.  I can’t wait!

Twin Muse:  Already showered!  Just let me know when you’re ready, okay?

 

I will. Now to go enjoy myself.  Tonight,  I will be watching Spirited Away, a movie written and directed by Hayao Miyazaki.

Today’s high is going to be 27 degrees and the silver lining will be watching Spirited Away tonight.

To those who enjoy timeless classics, I hope that you all have a fantastic day.

 

Muse: Of all the movies, the music in this one is the best! Oh, I can’t wait!!

Twin Muse:  Oh hurry!  This is the best movie of them all!  I can’t WAIT until tonight!

Me & My Muse – Day 4618: A Princess…

What is your idea of a princess?  Some are like Cinderella, where they go from rags to riches.  Others are born in the royal palace, learning all of their royal duties before their gradual ascension to the throne.

But what about an orphaned girl that was raised by wild wolves?  A now feral woman has learned all the ways of her adoptive wolf mother and is now a mighty warrior of the forest.  Her speed, agility, and senses are all sharp as she is intent on defending the forest and making it a habitable place for all the animals and vegetation that live within it.  This is San.  You may also know her as Princess Mononoke, and she is ready to defend her forest kingdom from all of her enemies, including Prince Ashitaka, who she eventually befriends.  This is the premise for Princess Mononoke, a renowned classic written and directed by Hayao Miyazaki.

 

Muse:  This is another good one.  I really like the story!

Twin Muse:  I like San!  She’s a tough character that doesn’t give up.

I really like this movie as well.  But it will be later in the day before we see it.

Muse:  Let me know when you’re ready and we’ll watch another classic!

Twin Muse:  I’ll be play my video games in the meantime, so let me know.

I will.  I will now get ready for the day.

That’s the game plan.  Get ready and watch Princess Mononoke later on.

Today’s high is going to be 31 degrees and the silver lining is seeing Princess Mononoke later today.

To those of you who love warrior princesses of the forest, I hope that you all have a fantastic day.

 

Muse: Are you thinking what I’m thinking?  *puts on face paint and changes into tribal clothes*  Let’s sneak into Kyle’s room when he’s ready to watch the movie.

Twin Muse:  We’ll have to let Moro know and we’ll quietly ride her into the room.  *puts on face paint and changes into tribal clothes*  We have a forest to defend!

Me & My Muse – Day 4617: An Avatar…

Let’s face it.  The world that we live in can be quite harsh.  With the growing upheaval and unrest, wouldn’t it be great to escape to another place where these issues do not exist?

Such a place does exist.  Welcome to the virtual world of U. In U, you can begin an entirely different virtual life as an avatar.  Don’t like the way you look in the real world?  All of this can be digitally altered in this wonderful virtual landscape.  And for whatever skill that you lack in the real world, you can shine like a diamond in the world of U.

Take superstar Belle for example.  Her singing has captured the hearts of U and has very quickly become a viral sensation.  All Belle needs now is a virtual mate to fall in love with.  But when this day comes,  how does the real life person controlling Belle cope with the reality of the true identity of her virtual crush?  And how does Belle’s virtual audience cope with who Belle really is outside of U?  In the real world, where Belle is just an ordinary woman named Suzu?

This is another setup for Belle, one of the latest movies written and directed by Mamoru Hisoda.

 

Muse: I really loved this movie!  I seriously cried towards the ending.  Belle is just wonderful…That reminds me!  I’m going to enter U now!

Twin Muse:  Isn’t the movie beautiful?  You crybaby!  Just kidding.  I cried too  Now to enter U…

Who are you two going to be?   Wow!  You look wonderful, Twin Muse!

Diya: I am not Muse!  I am Diya!

Monde:  And I am not Twin Muse!  I am Monde!

Diya & Monde:  And together, we are the Diamond Twins, the most popular pop diva duo in all of U!

Whoa!  It looks like you are very famous in U!  Every one of your performances has an audience of more than 50 million, with one peaking at over 100 million!

Diya: What can I say?

Monde: No one in U can match our singing voices!

Diya: Let us know when you’re going to start the movie.

Monde: Because we’re going to give our fans another performance that they won’t forget!

 

I certainly will.

Today’s high is going to be 50 degrees and the silver lining is seeing Belle today.

To those of you who love romantic stories regarding virtual avatars, I hope that you all have a fantastic day.

 

Diya: Wow!

Monde: Almost 200 million all around U just watched us sing that last song!

Diya:  Everyone, this is for all of you.  I call this one “Dream at the Top of Your Lungs”!

Monde:  Are you ready?!  Let’s go!!!!

Me & My Muse – Day 4616: A Castle…

We have all heard of castles in fairy tales.  But of all the tales that we heard, how many actually consisted of castles that could move?  There is such a castle.  But from our understanding of castles and physics, castles would require a tremendous amount of energy to move.

But what if I told you that this castle wasn’t big at all? It isn’t.  In fact, this castle that I speak of is rather small.  Taking that into consideration, a smaller castle wouldn’t require that much energy.  I mean, I’m not talking about Neuschwanstein Castle, Versailles or even Cinderella Castle.  I’m talking about a very small castle – Howl’s Moving Castle.

And to describe that castle, we need to explain the source of that castle’s energy.  After all, I said that it could move, right?  This castle is powered by a fire demon named Calcifer bound by a curse with a wizard named Howl.  The wizard is literally heartless, because of his wanting to save him.  As a result, Calcifer consumed Howl’s heart, making Howl bound to him.

Can the curse be broken?  Fortunately, a hatter named Sophie enters the picture.  The result is an unforgettable tale of love, friendship and adventure.  This is Howl’s Moving Castle, the next movie I’ll be watching written and directed by Hayao Miyazaki.

 

Muse:  Another classic that I enjoy.

Twin Muse:  This is another good one!

Why are you two so small?

Muse:  Oops!  I forgot to change back.

Twin Muse:  I forgot too!  Maybe I’ll change back later.

I guess you two did become small after all…

Muse:  I couldn’t help myself.  I had to do it again.  It was fun exploring my gigantic house and sleeping in my pillow, using the pillowcase as a blanket.

Twin Muse:  That, and I convinced you to be small again, didn’t I?  Isn’t being small so much fun?  I loved the pillowcase blanket last night!

What did you use as a pillow?

Twin Muse:  There wasn’t one.  I just laid on the pillow….

Anyway, I need to get this show on the road.

Muse:  I’ll let you do that.  Time to get another chapter read!  Let me know when you start the movie!  Last night, I saw the movie.  Did you see me?

Twin Muse:  Time to beat another level!  Just let me know when you’re getting started!  And yeah.  Me and my twinnie were kind of spying on you.  Tee hee!

I didn’t.

Muse:  I was hiding.  I thought that it would be silly if you saw me small.  Anyway, time to read!

Twin Muse:  Silly?  It was fun!  I almost made a sound but my sister didn’t want me to.  Back to my game!

 

With me having to get ready to search for work this morning and work later in the day, I will cut this short.

Today’s high is going to be 35 degrees and the silver lining is watching Howl’s Moving Castle tonight.

To those of you who like moving castles, I hope that you all have a fantastic day.

 

Muse:  Reading small is much more fun.  I can run up and down the pages, looking at the large text.  It’s also good exercise.  Here I go!

Twin Muse:  It’s fun to play games small!  I get to step on the buttons to move my character.  I do need to stretch myself out to press everything at the same time…There!  Just did another jump!
