In semi-typical fashion, my mother has one-upped
me. I had asked her to get some Day of the Dead
stuff on Friday, which she did on Saturday. When
I woke up today, she had created an altar. I
wanted to do this, but she did it herself. She
does this a lot. However, it's a nice looking
altar, with the bread and skull sitting there, a
plate of pan dulce, a pack of lifesavers and a
plate of tamales for my grandfather. I will have
pictures up tomorrow.
Strangely enough, my mother's spirit was really
good today, and we all talked about him most of
the day. In all, it was a good thing. :)
We had a nice BBQ dinner. TASTY BBQ dinner.
They finally showed the last Big O today, and
they got me. They played the opening to episode
#20 again, and two minutes later it stopped and
said "Sorry, we just HAD to do that."
Again, let me say that Big O is one big
Mindfuck. and the ending is even one MORE on top
of the original mindfuck :) I like how they made
it deliberately muddy at the end, so you could
make up your own end to it, and it would be
valid. I have a feeing I know what happened
(what with the Director's board, the Dorothy
modeling sheets and the Big O poter in one shot),
but there could be hundreds of other
interpretations, and they're all good. Because
not only is Big O made for YOU, but the whole
world of Paradigm City is, too.
So the series is over. And as usual ends get me
thinking. My elf story has never ever finished.
i've been working on the basics for over a year
now, and it still has no real ending. Or
middle. It has points I want to reach, but
nothing in the way of...well...story. Scarily,
it mimics Big O in several ways. TES (the Elf
Story) and Big O both involve cities that lost
their memory (Big O: 40 years ago, TES: Tens of
thousands of years ago). They involve digging up
memories as an intregral part of their stories
(Big O: To use them as power sources, TES: To
learn the truth of the foundations of The
Corporation). However, I think the differences
are good enough to mark them as different
series. Big O doesn't have a protagonist forced
to fight a war he has no part in, TES has no Big
Robots that Destroy the city in every episode.
Anyone out there want to draw TES as a weekly
series? I have a feeling the story won't flesh
out till I begin to get some of the earlier story
out. Anyone need a NaNoWriMo premise? :D
It's wierd to get glimpses of things I can't
really fathom, but then, as I work on them, thye
make sense. But TES just isn't forthcoming with
much. Just recently I got glimpses what the city
looks like that everyone lives in, which is a
"Spire." Like a city that started in one point
and has had layer upon layer built upon it, while
growing, so that the center is higher above
anything else (The Hill, I'm told it's called).
I've also recently seen people digging in the
Earth underneat the spire, trying to reconstruct
life Tens of Thousands of years ago, trying to
make sense of crushed layers of the city).
It's late, i need to take a shower and get to
bed. Jenni, PLEASE call me about 2PM to wake me
up - I'll try to get together with you post
haste. :)
