about creativity

As a small child, I spent a lot of time by myself. My parents were busy working and my sisters were in school, so I was allowed to be alone a lot. I think that was actually good, preparing me for my life as a widow these days.
I just heard that children who spend a lot of time alone, tend to become more creative. I am pretty sure that is what happened to me. Now it is serving me well.
Also, I have a new goal for the rest of 2010. I want to read at least 7 books, one each about a different continent. These are to be travel book.
I got the idea from "Book Lust To Go" by Nancy Pearl. This is a lovely book, about travel books. I am excited.
I also have a idea, that is only an idea, not a carry out thing.
I can develop a game called ? whatever. It will have a board and game pieces about relationships both good and failed. It will have the pitfalls of relationships and when they need to end or renew. Anyway, it should be a great seller.
I must think of a name.

OK this is a continuation of the post I started a few minutes ago.

Writing about my travels

Well, the current sucky economy has put my traveling on a temporary hold. I do, however plan to continue as soon as it is possilbe.
In the meantime, I want to write, and I guess save for prosterity my stories about my travels.
Things I want to write about are India, Italy, Bath, England, Ireland, Bangkock and Boston.
Also, I need to up date what I have reading.
Right now, I am reading Sacred Hearts my Sarah Dunani. It is about the practice in the 16th century of family "marrying" their daughters to convents by giving the convent a dowery and sending the girls away for the rest of their lives. Sad story.
This is a list of words I have learned from reading this book.
polyphony 2 or more independent music voices
intarsia-workworking inlay from Italy. I actually have some of that from Sorinto.

Yeah, a good movie was seen by Carol: "Amelia" with Hillary Swank and Richard Geer. I think the first part of it was a little slow moving, but it really turned interesting and ended AOK.
And the new Meryl Streep movie with Steve Martin and Alec (?) looks good.

OK so I haven't written on this blog for a month so here goes. I am planning on going to Thailand and will be up dating this blog, so you can check in with this when I am gone and then you can see what I am up to, which will probably be not too much. Carol

Good news, movie fans. Looks like several new movies coming out this fall will actually be watchable. Meryl Streep and Steve Martin have one coming out, as well as a Nicholas Cage end of the world deal. Those looked OK. Sandra Bullock had one about adopting a homeless boy that might be OK. Also, Jud Law is in a new movie as Watson in "Sherlock" and Hillary Swank will play Amelia Earhart. Looking forward to seeing these.

Yeah! I went to the movies this afternoon. I saw "The Informer" with Matt Damon. Great movie. It is based on a true story of a guy who "blows the whistle" on food giant ADM, who was guilty of price fixing. But in the mean time, the individuals involved were not without fault.
But the best part of the movie, besides it being funny, was the character development of the may character, Mark Whiteker, played by Matt Damon.
Recommended for sure.
