Funny thing is that I'm reading a 2001 biography I found in a thrift shop about a guy I have tickets to see on November 22nd, and yesterday I read the section about Carl Perkins, who wrote'Blue Suede Shoes'.
I had this book on CD and I don't remember hearing the part about Carl Perkins and his daughter.
I recently wrote a post about getting drenched on the 'Neville Bonner Bridge'when leaving the Brisbane Star Casino, while heading back to the car parked under QPACwhere the stage show 'Wicked'(about thewitches of Oz:-) was playing -
What I didn't mention in that post was I had bought two cups and a 2024Christmas ornament from the STARBUCK's store near the cinema after seeing'The Moogai'and before crossing the bridge to visit the STAR casino(which was opened on the 29th of August, 2024;-).
Luckily for me and my son I took the cups back to the car, so I wouldn't have to carry them around the casino with me, or all the spirits that scare the crap out of Knowlesmay have joined forces to drown us both in the Brisbane River that night;-)
As I sit here this morning drinking coffee from my STARBUCK's coffee cup and contemplating Knowles Laws, I realize just what a sinner I am and how lucky I am to have escaped a drowning in the Brisbane River that night:-)
Ironically, I just realized that 'The Moogai'is distributed by Umbrella Entertainment ... and we sure could have used an umbrella on Sunday ... although with all that lightning around, maybe not:-)
My STARBUCK's cup and my son's STARBUCK's cup:-)
But I guess I'll never learn, as my son has promised to take me to have a drink at the first STARBUCK's store that was opened, when we head to The United(?) States next year. He has already been there and lived to tell the tale:-)
I'll have to pick up a STARBUCK's cup in Vegas next March;-)
Even Doreen Virtue's Fundie mate at the 'Ex-Psychic Saved' podcastdoesn't seem as worried by STARBUCK's as Knowles is, although everything else including her shadow seems to scare the socks off her Fundie feet:-)
"Yuán (traditional Chinese: 緣; simplified Chinese: 缘; pinyin: yuán; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: iân) or Yuanfen (traditional Chinese: 緣分; simplified Chinese: 缘分; pinyin: yuánfèn; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: iân-hūn), "fateful coincidence," is a concept in Chinese society describing good and bad chances and potential relationships. It can also be translated as "destiny, luck as conditioned by one's past", or "natural affinity among friends." It is comparable to the concept of karma in Buddhism, but yuanfen is interactive rather than individual. The driving forces and causes behind yuánfèn are said to be actions done in previousincarnations."
""Affinity occasion" could be a good translation of yuánfèn, as yuánfèn depends on the probability, or chance, of meeting (or seeing) someone in the real world at any given time and place, and involves both persons feeling as if they have already known each other for a very long time, even though in reality, they have not."
I've had two tattoos done recently with a third one booked and with some rather yuanfen like things occurring relating to getting those tattoos being done.
And yes, that39% Rotten Tomatoes rating is about right, but it was an interesting movie all the same, and probably a movie that I was fated to see yesterday.
In the movie 'The Moogai' there are indigenous spirt children that have no eyes appearing everywhere and before the movie started a trailer was shown which was about the early life of Bob Dylan called 'A Complete Unknown'.
Now the weird thing here for me and my son is that I took him to see Bob Dylan to play Bluesfest and the curtain raiser for Dylan was a blind indigenous singer whose eyes where just white like the indigenous spirt children in the movie, and that singer has since passed away -
After the movie we had dinner at Grill'd and then decided to walk across theNeville Bonner Bridge and check out the new casino, since there were no football games in progress this time like the last time we tried checking out the casino -
We were told by security that we could go up to the "sky deck" as it was closed because of the storm, so we pretty much were confined to the gambling floor Sunday night and my son decided to play the slots asking me which machine I thought he should play.
I told him that I thought one of the '50 Lions' machines might prove lucky, since my new Brisbane Lions tattoo was tingling on my arm:-)
Turned out my hunch was right, and he won a $69 dollar jackpot, then moved onto another machine and won a$42 jackpot ... and then he blew the lot on a "lucky Leprechaun" machine called 'Mine, Mine, Mine':-(
Then we decided to leave the casino and head back over the bridge to Southbank where the car was parked, since the rain seemed to have eased.
But as we hit the bridge the rain started up again until we got back to the car drenched, as there is hardly any cover on that new bridge.
I'm trying to hurry up and finish the book and CDs, so I can pass it on to another street library patron before John Edward arrives in town -
