Salutations.

It is now 10:39PM EST for me.

It is now 11:34PM EST for me.

In case you want to know, I have within a few minutes ago decided to change my supermarket shopping to Thursday morning. Let’s see if that improves my ability to type ideas in this blog.

The 1st ‘Slow’ idea will involve at least 3 crossover references simultaneously used in a story. Hopefully, I will be able to finish this idea before 3:00AM tomorrow morning. Even if I explain it in a ‘sloppy’ way, those 3 references would still have to be a part of the idea.

I’m going to look for a music video and trailer to recommend to you now. That should take about an hour and a half. So, if you are there, I’ll see you then.

It is now 12:28AM EST for me.

Not bad. Less than an hour to find and prepare them.

The music video that I watched for the 1st time earlier and recommend for this advice is called ‘One By One’ by Robin Schulz & Topic ft. Oaks. I wasn’t able to find any reviews about this music video. I do have an age verification for Winona Oak, the woman in the music video, from wikipedia.org:

Born 8 October 1994 (age 29)
Sollerön, Sweden

—

Here is a quote from the lyrics:

[Verse 1: Winona Oak]
You hide in the shadow
Closest fever dream
Neon lights are lining down the street

—

And here is a short quote from /www.pmstudio.com about the song, but still not much is said about it:

German DJ Robin Schulz and Croatian-German DJ Topic teamed up to release a new song “One By One” on January 19, 2024.
Both DJs recruited Swedish singer-songwriter Winona Oak for the song.

I found it by selecting from www.youtube.com publisher ‘InMusic Official’, select ‘Videos’, then select category ‘New Songs Of The Week (January 19, 2024) | New Music Friday’, which was published 3 days ago. A video clip from music video ‘One By One’ starts about 1 minute and 55 seconds into that video clip collection.

To watch music video ‘One By One’, search in www.youtube.com for phrase ‘one by one’, and it should be one of the 1st selections offered, with 109K views. It was published 3 days ago by publisher ‘Robin Schulz’.

In my opinion, the lyrics are clean, and the music video is abstract and surreal. I recommend watching it for this advice.

—

The movie trailer that I watched for the 1st time earlier and recommend for this advice is called ‘Float (2024) Official Trailer’. Here is a storyline quote from wikipedia.org:

‘ Float is a 2023 Canadian drama film, directed by Sherren Lee. The film stars Andrea Bang as Waverly, a young woman with a tense relationship with her parents who decides to spend the summer before starting university staying with her aunt in the coastal beach town of Tofino, where she is drawn into a romance with lifeguard Blake (Robbie Amell) when he gives her swimming lessons. ‘

—

At the end of the movie trailer, it says ‘IN SELECT THEATERS FEBRUARY 9’.

I found it by selecting publisher ‘KinoCheck.com’ from www.youtube.com, select ‘Videos’, then select ‘NEW MOVIE TRAILERS 2024’. That was published 7 days ago. The movie trailer ‘Float (2024)’ starts about 21 minutes and 43 seconds into that movie trailer collection.

To watch the movie trailer, search in www.youtube.com for phrase ‘float movie’, and it should be one of the 1st selections offered, with 1.7M views. It was published 13 days ago by publisher ‘Lionsgate Movies’.

In my opinion, the language use is acceptable. A man is teaching a woman how to swim, and they have relationship feelings for each other, which is understandable because it’s a romance movie. Here’s another storyline quote from www.imdb.com:

‘ Waverly (Andrea Bang) thought she had her future figured out. She’d start her medical residency in Toronto after a summer visit to her parents in Taipei. When her plans are suddenly changed, she makes an impulsive detour to a small Canadian town, where she meets local lifeguard Blake (Robbie Amell). After he saves her from nearly drowning at a beach party, Blake offers to teach Waverly to swim, and as the lessons continue, the two unexpectedly find themselves falling in love. But will Blake’s ties to his past and Waverly’s plans to begin a new job keep them apart once summer ends? Based on the novel by Kate Marchant. ‘

It is now 12:55AM EST for me.

I am going to try to find the illustration references for this idea, maybe within 10 minutes. I’ll start typing again soon.

—

It is now 1:26AM EST for me.

Hopefully, I’ll finish explaining this idea before 3:00AM EST. I’m going to take a short break. I’ll start typing again soon.

—

It is now 1:47AM EST for me.

I think I can finish this idea before 3:00AM. I have over an hour, but I’ll try to finish explaining it before then.

Slow:

This is just one of the ‘Slow’ stories. I plan to explain the next one next Monday/early Tuesday, on 1/29/2024.

I chose the main character for idea ‘Slow’, Neeyala(Victoria Longley), based on her a scene in episode 3.3 ‘Self Inflicted Wounds: Part 1 – Could’a, Would’a, Should’a’ from sci-fi tv series ‘Farscape(2001)’. Even though she portrays herself, her appearance in America that she chose is tv celebrity actress Victoria Jackson, based on how she looked when she was a cast member in tv series ‘Saturday Night Live’. Here is a quote from wikipedia about that:

‘ A regular cast member from 1986 to 1992, Jackson often appeared on the show’s weekly Weekend Update segment as a correspondent who goes off topic, reciting poetry and doing backbends or handstands on the desk. She was also known for recurring skit roles where she impersonated Roseanne Barr, Sally Struthers and Zsa Zsa Gabor. ‘

—

If you want to see images of her during that time, search in www.google.com for phrase ‘victoria jackson saturday night live’, then select ‘Images’.

The farscape episode is available streaming on Amazon.com, and according to Amazon Video, that scene starts about 7 minutes and 6 seconds into that episode. I’m going to only make a partial quote, and that starts 7 minutes and 24 seconds into the episode:

Aeryn Sun(Claudia Black): ‘Do you understand any of those words?’

John Crichton(Ben Browder): ‘Yeah. I watched all kinds of Star Trek. It’s just the order that they’re in.’

Neeyala: ‘You said you studied wormholes.’

—

The point is that she’s a very intelligent alien, like Clark/Superman is, except without the super powers.

For this story, Neeyala is a genetically engineered alien, made for complex technical tasks for planetary terraforming. There are many aliens like her in the universe. She didn’t want her son to grow up under those circumstances, so she eventually chose to live on Earth.

She knows of a few aliens that tried to enter the Nexus.(Star Trek: Generations(1994). Here is a quote about the Nexus from wikipedia.org:

‘ …the “Nexus”, an extra-dimensional realm of wish fulfillment that exists outside of normal space-time. ‘

—

She hasn’t heard of anyone that has successfully entered it, even though they all know of it’s existence as it travels in space, aliens like herself trying to escape their lifestyle predicament.

On Earth, because of her and her son’s extraordinary intelligence compared to humans, she doesn’t want herself and her son to fight crime like the superheroes that are presented in tv shows, movies, and other forms of media and entertainment. She just them both to live normal lives. After they settled into America, Neeyala became a member of a woman’s committee, and her son works in Wall Street in NY.

One day, Neeyala decided to purchase a bigger house when it’s her turn to have meetings. She doesn’t want to have the biggest house compared to the othe member’s houses, but she still wants to get a bigger house than the one she has now. She decided that the way she would get that bigger house is to thwart/dismantle one of the projects created by a super criminal. She chose a super criminal that creates the use of super powers from his technology and science knowhow and related resources, not a human that actually has super powers from his body. This super criminal, refurbished from his reference, is Baltar(John Colicos) from sci-fi tv series ‘Battlestar Galactica(1978-1979)’. It will be done in a context that Neeyala and the women committee she is in will process that disbanding. It will be the 1st time that they will do such a thing, but it will be done in a way that they will all benefit from the experience. The US Government will partially compensate them for their efforts, and obvious benefits for the American community will be introduced into society. And somewhere in there, Neeyala will get the house that she wants. Her plan is on a schedule, so as soon as she thought of it, she planned to confront Baltar to get the benefits.

Baltar, in the context of this story, is a professional super criminal. He is also a businessman. For years, he has prepared for the possibility that a normal civilian would be able to thwart/stop several of his business projects, but that has never happened. So, when Neeyala did just that, as indicated in the presentation she gave to him, he was prepared for it. It’s just that it’s the 1st time that it has happened.

During their 1st and only confrontation, as Neeyala continue to explain to him what she has done, Baltar eventually decided to give to Neeyala his ‘defeat’ speech, a speech made for the possibility that a normal civilian would be able to dismantle one of his projects. As she was explaining it to him, he already verified who she was, and already has an idea what she’s going to do with it, her and her women’s committee, all this was assessed while she was explaining the situation to him.

—

The purpose of that story was to illustrate an example of someone? actually not wanting to be a superhero, but to instead have a normal American life.

—

It is now 2:28AM EST for me.

I am going to close this list now. Next week, I will explain/offer another ‘Slow’ idea, unless I change my mind. With my changed supermarket shopping schedule, the idea is to have more energy available to type in this blog. So, if you are there, I’ll see you then.
