Tomorrow the temperature will be <80 and cloudy and there will be no rain. But it will feel swampy thanks to her ladyship humidity. Maybe I can walk to get beenie weenie from school for the first time in 3 week?? It has been >90 or raining or both and neither are good marching conditions.

Christopher Nolan's film adaptation of the Odyssey it out and of course like all things in modern day culture there's controversy. I have not seen it yet so I can't judge but one argument I don't always go for when it comes to mythological type fantasy stories is that the adaptation is not historically accurate or authentic. To me this isn't really a fair criticism because as a piece of the human storytelling experience. Homer who first wrote the Iliad and the Odyssey lived 400 years after the events of the epics supposedly took place. Odds are even his retelling isn't a historically accurate telling of the events that occurred in the late bronze age. Over the centuries Homer's epics have been told and retold so many times, with each adding their own spin on the story, culture, or artistic vision. This isn't just a modern thing. Here's a 14th century French depiction of the sack of Troy
Notice how the Mycenaean Greeks and Trojons look like medieval knights in a medieval siege? So really it doesn't bother me if in Christopher Nolan's version the armor isn't right or the ship isn't right if he did it as part of some artistic vision. Because after all, these stories aren't necessarily real history, they are folklore told for entertainment first and foremost, as a form of art second, and as a historical telling last. This is a common feature through history. For example, Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet is a story going back to ancient Mesopotamia and has been told countless times in countless settings. Julius Caesar and Shakespeare's plays on the kings of England were not historically accurate tellings of those events, but were entertainment for the masses.
So what is my point in saying all this. Well believe it or not it is not to defend or dismiss Christopher Nolan's Odyssey as like I said I have not seen it yet.
Rather it's a shameless plug in for my absolute favorite retelling of Homer's Odyssey of all time. The Great Depression Era American Folklore version by the Cohen Brothers --- Oh Brother Where Art Thou (2001)

Today I made a meal for the first time in several weeks that wasn't blended beans and veg and lightly heated in a pan with high fiber pasta which my husband affectionately calls "slurry". two things. One it was good. Two my husband called it "provençal"

Today the baby got very excited while playing. When she's very excited, she sings songs and I usually have no idea where she learned them because I have certainly never listened to the song with her.
She was playing with her trains, then got up suddenly and started singing "high hopes! Gotta high hopes! High hopes!" And I thought she was singing high hopes by Brendon urie (yuck). So, I played the song for her. She wailed and said no mama no! YouTube recommendations at the end of the video showed High Hopes by Frank Sinatra, and I thought, hmm well it can't hurt.
As soon as the song began, she squealed and clapped and sang along (to the best of her beenie weenie-bilities). At her preschool, the kids listen to Disney songs while waiting for pickup at the end of the day. I guess this is where she learned the song! This song is in A Goofy Movie (1995).
In 1999, on the 30th anniversary of the first moonwalk, the members of rec.crafts.textiles.needlework shared their memories of the historic event. Transcripts in alt text.

On this day in 1969, the Apollo 11 mission landed on the Moon. 🌙 And back on Earth, an estimated 600 million people watched this historic moment live on television—roughly one-fifth of the world’s population at that time! The mission had three crew members: Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins. Collins piloted the craft that would return them to Earth, while Armstrong and Aldrin became the first two people ever to walk the Moon’s surface.

Hey. Why isn’t the moon landing a national holiday in the US. Isn’t that fucked up? Does anyone else think that’s absurd?
It was a huge milestone of scientific and technological advancement. (Plus, at the time, politically significant). Humanity went to space! We set foot on a celestial body that was not earth for the first time in human history! That’s a big deal! I’ve never thought about it before but now that I have, it’s ridiculous to me that that’s not part of our everyday lives and the public consciousness anymore. Why don’t we have a public holiday and a family barbecue about it. Why have I never seen the original broadcast of the moon landing? It should be all over the news every year!
It’s July 20th. That’s the day of the moon landing. Next year is going to be the 54th anniversary. I’m ordering astronaut shaped cookie cutters on Etsy and I’m going to have a goddamn potluck. You’re all invited.
Hey. Hey. Tumblr. Ides of March ppl. We can do this
Hell yeah moon holiday
Ooh coming up we should celebrate
PITCH: We call it Moon Day, and then every 7 years when it falls on a Monday, that's an even BIGGER deal and we call that Moon Day Monday and go absolutely apeshit about it (the next Moon Day Monday is in 2026 so we have a couple trial runs first)
On This Day in Planetary Geology!
The first humans set foot on the Moon: July 20, 1969
Neil Armstrong's first photo after setting foot on the Moon, digitally scanned by JSC in 2004 from original film roll. Rocks returned by Apollo astronauts have revolutionized our understanding of planetary formation.
The first fully successful landing on Mars: July 20, 1976
This is the first photograph ever taken on the surface of Mars, by the Viking 1 Lander.
July 16th, 1969- The Apollo 11 mission launched, carrying astronauts Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin, and Michael Collins and Neil Armstrong. After a journey of approximately 240,000 miles, Armstrong and Aldrin separated from the command module to descend to the lunar surface in the lunar module named Eagle.

A long time ago I heard a photographer say they tell people to say "money!" Instead of "cheese!" because "money" uses facial muscles that are also used during a real smile, and "cheese" doesn't. I don't know if that's true, but money is funnier than cheese. My toddler doesn't really respond to "say cheese!" but she goes wild when she hears "say money!" and it results in very silly photos.
