Oct. 19th, 2024 05:44 amBrian and I uninstalled the air conditioner up here shortly after I woke up.
-----
Dad showed a few episodes of Thomas the Tank Engine to Maris yesterday morning. I was there while waiting for my bus to work.
-----
First thing after I arrived at the store, team lead Cecilia had me fill out an investigation form for having clocked out for lunch an hour and a half late. Must've been from when I went to the break room, the first half hour into that time, spotted Robert already there, who said he had just started his hour when I asked, and decided just to stay on top of things for him.
-----
Spotted a bald eagle early in my shift. Tried to take a picture to share on Uguu Blue, but it flew too far away before I could get my phone ready.
Someone nearby asked if I saw it, and said that her son was the first to notice from inside her car.
-----
Brian and I went to someone's house an hour after I came home, to pick up a remote-powered folding armchair that I gather Marie and Emily to have chipped in for.
Before we got started, I had to use the bathroom, and then heard the owner's parrot inside a cage that she draped some kind of blanket or something over. She uncovered it to let me take a picture to share with everyone, before Brian and I began carrying the armchair to the trailer.
Having already noticed two out of what Heather would specify to be three cats she owns before we had begun, I went back into the house to find one of them (the other was outside and rather scrawny-looking), but didn't see it anywhere. Also looked through the backyard, but came right back.
I did notice a koi pond back there, but didn't have much of a look at it until Heather showed both me and Brian before we left.
-----
Brian managed to uninstall the AC in the house yesterday afternoon, and I helped him do things like remove and re-insert the insides while he was at it. However, we wound up delaying its move back into the basement until after dark, when Brian was waiting for Emily to deal with Maris (she actually never came back by the time I went to bed; Mom eventually played with Maris instead).
Upon sitting down in that chair, Dad showed Maris some more Thomas episodes, and then a few Betty Boop and Silly Symphony shorts. He also proposed showing her Popeye, but Brian said that Emily doesn't like even comical violence, specifying some western they had seen where a bar gets destroyed, so he only ended up showing us one clip.
The second of two Silly Symphonies we watched was Music Land (mentioned here in Chronicles of 7th Grade). At one point after that ended, I tried to ask my parents what such an opposite of a ball would have been called back in the 1930s, but they could only answer my question to the best of their understanding. The best Mom could answer would be how the short showcases the difference between what kind of music and other aesthetics would be hosted live in a ballroom and a nightclub. (Basically, though, an equivalent modern-day contrast is shown at one point in Nakaimo, where Mana briefly tries to turn her school ball into a rave (11:20), the latter being what nightclubs are known for today, and still doesn't bother to change into some proper attire even after being corrected.)
