Haiti. So horrible, I can’t even look at it. I’m a little ashamed of that. There it is.
I say, wait to give money. Everyone is giving now; and that is righteous. I have never given money to the people of a disaster-impacted area (unless you include the US political system). I plan to this time.
But I’m going to wait a few weeks. I’ve only got so much, and creating our own business, as you might understand, has a deep impact on that. But I will give as the donations start to fall off. They need someone on that other side of the wave of giving to keep the momentum going. I will do my small part.
Just saw the Golden Globes. Avatar won for best film. I’m just not feeling it. Don’t get me wrong – it is an amazing film, and film tech at its best. I saw it in 3D IMAX, and thoroughly enjoyed it. And who the hell knows? Maybe it will have some actual impact on world opinion and action regarding earth-death. But it wasn’t a great film, in my estimation.
I do know that virtual reality is (and has been for some time) the wave of the now. That scares me. And I make my living by it. All the spectral imaginations creating…a world that is not our world, which becomes our world, which is our world because it’s part of the one with which we were created. It’s all the world.
Maybe I’m scared because…that puts the power in my hands?
BTW – Helen Mirren, Kate Hudson, Christina Hendricks – best dresses, in that order. Go Monique and Drew!
