Gratitude, messages of Brothers Grimm fairy tale, Asimov and Poe short stories, The Secret of Kells, themes in Superhero movies, sign of a growing city, unexpected role of witches, Goldbach, primes and scale, Music of the Week, animal and human behavior, novelists and novels, silence and MORE!

I have to thank the days I really don’t want to be in my own head for my physical health. And random kitchen dance parties. And mountains.

Andrew Lang - Fairy Tales. The Brothers Grimm's "The House in the Woods" and it's message about caring for all living creatures, not just humans.

Sign of a growing city in the developed world? Lots of temporary license plates everywhere.

The role of witches in casting moral judgment. Like how the witch turned the prince into the beast in "Beauty and the Beast" because she thought he was shallow.

Goldbach's Conjecture: http://truthiscool.com/prime-numbers-the-271-year-old-puzzle-resolved

Not a lot for Music of the Week:

Regulation of Power in Superhero movies. Batman v. Superman, and Captain America: Civil War.

How animals pick up on your emotional state and react accordingly.

Looking at the microcosm vs. the macrocosm. Analyzing the first 100 primes or a small city vs. primes in the trillions+ and the world as a whole.

How myths adapt and change over time. And how we look at the world at different angles through them.

Naming an event that is the reason for the extensive changes in the world of a dystopian novel. Ex. The Great War, The Catastrophe, The………..

“The Mask of the Red Death” and the message that even Kings cannot hide from the powers of Nature. They cannot wall themselves up away from the horror of pestilence. Death is the great equalizer, it does not care about stature or money.

Also, the structure of a story. Complex to Simple in details. Framing. Walking around and around. Repetition.

"Insufficient data for meaningful answer."
AND
Isaac Asimov's message in "The Last Question" that the only way to reverse entropy is by God? Or light?
AND
Energy and Entropy.
AND
"A billion years still isn't forever."

It's like 80 degrees during the day, and I'm still wearing my winter coat like an adult blanky. #CantLetItGo :-P

Silence, the most beautiful thing at the right moment. The most terrifying thing at the wrong one.

The essential problem with (or purpose of) the 3 laws of robotics in Asimov’s short story, “The Runaround”. Being able to specify distance and level of danger to and for human or robot that gives Rule #1 or #3 more power. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zYgKEcVwNJg

The problems with generalized advice.

When did I become an expert on PDF security and eBook publishing royalties? Today. Thanks, Work!

The Secret of Kells and the message about the importance of books and providing hope to the masses, and facing your fears.

Revisiting this quote: "Want to know how a society perceives permanence vs. mutability of behavior? Watch how they treat a man who has done wrong." Mostly because I want to add, "But also look at the perception of the threat."

yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy - Luna's (my cat's) contribution to this post.

So thankful for having friends and family who love and care about me. That connection means so much. <3

Leave it to a novelist to tell you not to keep all your eggs in one place by baking your money into bread and also hiding it in ink jars. #Rothfuss

Happy Friday the 13th!
