Salutations.

It is now 8:30PM EST for me.

I have decided to type in a ‘story idea’. If I have time, I will try to type in another idea.

I don’t have anything to recommend, so I’ll just look for a music video and trailer to recommend to you. That should take about an hour and a half to find and prepare them for recommendation. I’ll start typing again in about an hour and a half from now.

It is now 10:01PM EST for me.

The music video that I watched for the 1st time earlier today and recommend for this advice is called ‘Super Shy’ by NewJeans. Here’s an article from www.escapistmagazine.com published: May 15, 2023 for age verification, so add about 10 months to their age:

Minji was born on May 7, 2004 and is 19 years old.
Hanni was born on October 6, 2004 and is 18 years old.
Danielle was born on April 11, 2005 and is 18 years old.
Haerin was born on May 15, 2006 and is 17 years old.
Hyein was born on April 21, 2008 and is 15 years old.

Here’s a review from link www.billboard.com about the music video:

‘ The video kicks off with Danielle riding a bicycle through a sun-drenched neighborhood on her way to meeting up with the rest of the groupmates. After the quintet is united, they all feel inspired to join an exercise group, who falls in line the K-pop stars’ intricate choreography as the infectious chorus rolls: “I’m super shy, super shy/ But wait a minute while I make you mine, make you mine/ I’m all nervous ’cause you’re on my mind all the time/ I wanna tell you but I’m super shy, super shy,” the girls take turns singing. ‘

I found the music video by selecting in www.youtube.com publisher ‘InMusic Official’, select ‘Videos’, select ‘iHeartRadio Music Awards 2024 Winners | SZA, Ice Spice & More!’, published 6 days ago. 4 minutes and 53 seconds into the video clip, the award for ‘BEST NEW ARTIST(K-POP)’ was given to ‘New Jeans’. It was showing a video clip from their music video ‘Super Shy’. To watch music video ‘Super Shy’, search in www.youtube.com for phrase ‘newjeans super shy’, and it should be one of the 1st selections offered, with 172M views! It was published by publisher ‘HYBE LABELS’ 9 months ago.

My favorite scene was when the group ‘New Jeans’ left the bus about 1 minute and 34 seconds into the music video, and started dancing outside of the bus, and the kids that were in the bus were entertainingly looking at them dance from inside of the bus.

Here is a quote from the lyrics of song ‘Super Shy’:

I’m super shy, super shy
But wait a minute while I make you mine, make you mine
Tteollineun jigeumdo, you’re on my mind all the time
I wanna tell you but, I’m super shy, super shy
I’m super shy, super shy

The movie trailer that I watched for the 1st time and recommend for this advice is called ‘Mother of the Bride’. Here is a quote from wikipedia.org about the movie:

‘ After a year abroad in London, Emma returns home and stuns her mother Lana with the news that she’s getting married in a month at a resort in Phuket, Thailand. Things get worse when Lana discovers that the husband-to-be is the son of the man who broke her heart years earlier.

Mother of the Bride is an upcoming American romantic comedy film directed by Mark Waters and written by Robin Bernheim. It stars Brooke Shields, Miranda Cosgrove, and Benjamin Bratt.

The film is scheduled to be released on Netflix on May 9, 2024. ‘

—

To watch the trailer, search in www.youtube.com for phrase ‘mother of the bride’, and it should be one of the 1st selections offered, with 886K views. It was published 4 days ago by publisher ‘Netflix’.

In my opinion, the trailer was relaxing and entertaining to watch. The language used was acceptable, a ‘+’ if kids choose to watch it. And it has an interesting storyline. It asks the question ‘Why did the man leave?’

It is now 10:35PM EST for me.

(My computer screen is a little too bright, so I dimmed it once.)

I’m going to look for the illustration references, prepare them. For the sake of learning the idea, I will reveal it’s bookmark name towards the middle of the explanation. I’ll start typing again in about 10 minutes.

—

It is now 10:49PM EST for me.

I’m going to refurbish and quote a scene from episode 1.15 ‘A Matter of Minutes’ from sci-fi tv series ‘The Twilight Zone(1986)’. Here’s a short explanation from www.imdb.com:

‘ A couple get knocked out of sync with time and meet the work crew that builds each minute. ‘

—

I’m going to refurbish the episode, quote it as if Supervisor(Adolph Caesar) is one of the TVA from tv series ‘Loki(2021-2023)’. Here’s a quote from www.imdb.com about ‘Loki’:

‘ How can I watch Loki without Disney plus?

At the moment, Loki is a Disney+ exclusive. This means you can only watch Loki online on Disney Plus. The same goes for most Marvel content: while some MCU movies are available on other streaming services, the best way to get access to all your favorite Loki content is on Disney Plus. ‘

—

The episode is available streaming from www.youtube.com. Otherwise, the entire 1985+ series of ‘The Twilight Zone’ is available on DVD to purchase from Amazon.com. You don’t have to do that. You can just watch the episode streaming from www.youtube.com. Just search in www.youtube.com for phrase ‘twilight zone 1985 a matter of minutes’, and one of the selections offered works, the one from publisher ‘The Haunted Manor’. The episode is short, only about 16 minutes. The scene I’m quoting starts 6 minutes and 38 seconds into the episode:

Supervisor: ‘We’re talking about time, Mr. Wright, and somehow you and your wife have, uh, stepped backstage in time while all of your friends, neighbors, are experiencing the minute…’

—

Basically, in that scene, and further, you can watch more of the episode, Michael Wright(Adam Arkin) and June Wright(Karen Austin) are listening to Supervisor’s explanation. This is how I’m going to refurbish that scene. When Supervisor is explaining to Mr. and Mrs. Wright what is happening to them, refurbished, this is what a kid thinks about his explanation:

Kid: ‘Why is he talking so stupid?’

—

The reason why Supervisor may seem to some? to be ‘talking so stupid’ is because he is giving an explanation to Mr. and Mrs. Wright in a considering context. He doesn’t want to put them in a state of shock and confusion, since they are experiencing something that is supernatural to them. That is why he may sound ‘stupid’ when talking to Mr. and Mrs. Wright.

—

The 2nd part of this idea is based on the character Marius de Romanus from The Vampire Chronicles from Anne Rice. Here is a quote from link vampirechronicles.fandom.com:

‘ Marius de Romanus is a powerful vampire as well as a Child of the Millennia, being over 2,000 years old.

Marius is an exceptionally sagacious, wise and optimistic vampire. He is one of the oldest known to still survive, a true Child of the Millennia. He has a great passion for the arts, is a master painter and great scholar. He loves to read and to write. Marius’s interests include all manner of intellectual and artistic pursuits. ‘

—

And here is a quote from the movie ‘Queen of the Damned(2002)’, available streaming from Amazon.com. According to Amazon Video, the scene starts about 22 minutes and 39 seconds into the movie:

Marius(Vincent Perez): ‘The future hastens… an age beyond my antique reason. You will help me understand these times.’

—

You can watch more about Marius, with inapproprieities removed, to know more about the character.

The next quote is from the book ‘The Tale of the Body Thief’. Here is a short quote from wikipedia.org:

‘ Lestat seeks help from other vampires but is completely ostracized. Marius is extremely angry at him for leaving such a powerful body to a thief. ‘

—

When I read that part of the book, in my opinion, I believe that Marius was like ‘Supervisor’ in the Twilight Zone episode 1.15 ‘A Matter of Minutes’. Marius realized that Lestat was in a human’s body, and was considerate of that when talking to Lestat.

—

One more quote, and then I’ll type in the story. The scene is in the movie ‘Crossworlds(1996)’ starring Rutger Hauer as A.T., and Stuart Wilson as Ferris. The movie is available streaming from Amazon.com from Freevee, or you can purchase it for about $6, the streaming version. The scene starts 54 minutes and 32 seconds into the movie:

A.T.: ‘I’ve never felt better.’

Ferris: ‘Really?’

A.T.: ‘Really.’

—

That is when Ferris placed a stone and necklace on the table. I interpreted that scene as a game that A.T. and Ferris regularly played, but based on the reaction that A.T. made, A.T. never won that game. Ferris always was able to use his powers to levitate? that stone and amulet into his hand.

OK, so here’s the imagined story: I’m submitting a proposal to Marius for a job. In that proposal, I quoted that scene from the movie ‘Crossworlds’ when A.T. lost that stone and necklace game to Ferris as an example of competition. I believe that employees should be encouraged by management to compete with them, especially if those employees are terrible at such competitions. I imagined Liam Kincaid(Robert Leeshock) from tv series ‘Earth: Final Conflict’ eventually having a collection of participations and competitions that he was bad at when interacting with management, but it was very useful to learn. He created a collection that was measured/quantified based on how bad he was at it, but he interpreted those bad evaluations of himself as ‘self improvement’ goals. Of course, such competitions and participations are allowed for non-managerial employees to learn. It’s not something that would harm people if not learned well enough.

I quoted a scene from the movie ‘Queen of the Damned(2002)’. I know it’s a paradox, since there shouldn’t be such a movie with Marius in it, but it makes it easier to explain. There was that scene when the vampires were all gathered, about 13 minutes and 44 seconds into the movie, where there was a Young Jesse(Richael Tanner), and I refurbished that scene to show Marius that there are no humans in such social situations, and that it would benefit Marius and other vampires if they were able to interact somewhat with certain humans, allow them to have the ability to participate and compete with them with certain things.

After I gave my verbal proposal to work for him, he said something that was short. I forgot exactly what he said. The 1st few words out of his mouth was criticism that caused me to open my eyes somewhat, and then the next bunch of words indicated that he accepted me as an employee that will personally work for him.

Soon after I imagined that, I imagined being in that social situation. A few months have passed, and I have talked to many of them, always with Marius present in the room. I really didn’t think of them all of the time as vampires. I thought I was getting quite used to them.

Now, here is a quote from the movie ‘Madame Web(2024)’ starring Dakota Johnson as Cassandra Webb. The movie is available streaming from Amazon.com, and according to Amazon Video, that scene starts about 1 minute and 6 minutes into the movie:

Cassandra Webb: ‘Do you guys think of anybody but yourselves? You’re so impulsive and entitled, and you don’t listen!’

—

While I was attending that social event with Marius and all of those vampires, a woman asked me a question. Marius was also there listening to the conversation. I told her something like I could not answer that question, since it may be unacceptable to do so. After that, she criticized me, saying something like what Cassandra Webb said to those 3 teenage girls. Basically, many of the vampires in that social event in the course of a few months have taught you to use a notion that would allow you to excuse yourself from participation from them, buy you always start from the beginning, or not use that notion at all! In that context, she said that I was ‘too slow’, and that’s the name of this bookmark idea, ‘Too slow’. I’ll put that in now.

Too slow:

So, based on the imagined story, I ‘obviously’ improved on the use of that notion that allowed me to be excused from certain vampire participations. I integrated that notion to be a part of my normal routine when interacting with them. I’m already using it.

So, I’m going to explain it to the adults, and adult ‘context of communication’ 1st: Has anyone said that you were ‘too slow’ for something, and the experienced bothered you a little when you would think about it? I recommend that you do this to help you feel better about such experiences, if you had such experiences: imagine while you are at work that, while you walk by anyone at work, one, several, many of them, use that ‘notion’ that allows you to excuse yourself from participating with them, as if it’s in your normal routine. There. Compared to how I used it initially, you are not ‘too slow’. You immediately used it when walking by someone, several people, or more at work. You used the notion within your routine, and in that context, you are not ‘too slow’ when using it. When that woman criticized me, Marius was right there listening to our conversation.

For the kids and teenagers, when walking by one or more people, imagine using that ‘notion’ that excuses you from certain participations as if it’s a part of your routine. There. Now, you too, are also not ‘too slow’. I hope that allows you to feel better, if being called ‘too slow’ bothered you in the past, or maybe you can use idea ‘Too slow’ just in case it may happen in the future.

It is now 12:33AM EST for me.

I am going to close this list now. That way, I will have more time to do other things before preparing my laundry for the laundromat. I’m always in such a rush preparing my clothes. Now, I have more time to prepare my clothes, and do other things that I have yet to think about.

This coming Monday/next Tuesday morning, I will type something, probably the strategy idea that I recently invented within the past week, or something else. So, if you are there, I’ll see you then.

Oh, wait. I forgot to type in something, if you choose to imagine what those vampires say to each other in the future when talking about you. To make the experience more tenable, imagine putting Batman in certain unusual participations. He’s a normal man, and his participations continue to be useful to such participants, possibly for a very long time.

There was also this touchscreen game that I played years ago called ‘Tai Play’ from Megatouch. You can search ‘tai play megatouch’ to find someone showing you what one screen was like. After you would touch a number of pairs, it would make a bonus sound. In the beginning, that sound would stop me from playing for a few seconds, but after a while, if you choose to, you can just play through that sound. The sound that distracts you, that ‘stops’ you, could be refurbished to represent how you may imagine certain vampires talking about your chosen, if you chose to, imagined participation, years into the future. I recommend that you don’t ‘stop’ too long thinking about it. Allow yourself to keep creating, to keep going, even if such distractions may be imagined by you.

It is now 12:48AM EST for me. I am going to close this list now.
