Normal [controversial]

4/30/2020

0 Comments

 
Seize the opportunities that this experience is presenting to you; don't waste this time waiting for life to start back up. This was the essence of the end of a group message that one of my colleagues sent to his athletes today. I found the idea profound. Another of my friends had a similar message in open email to his graduating seniors. I feel that it is one that we as a society should take to heart.

There has been a highly politicized push to return to "normal" as soon as possible. Even I find myself longing for things to become more "normal" again. However, if there is one thing this crisis has taught us, it's that "normal" wasn't really all that great. Look at what we have learned from a month of being shut down.

We've found that our healthcare system is filled with devoted, caring, and often overworked people, yet is clearly broken as a system. We did not have the protections in place, the equipment prepared. Many people aren't receiving or able to receive treatment due to a lack of healthcare coverage (something that many people lost due to the economic impact of this pandemic). And some of those dedicated, amazing healthcare workers are experiencing some of the most horrific scenes of their lives while others are being furloughed because the hospitals aren't doing elective surgeries, which is the main way that they receive the funding to operate at all.

We discovered that companies needed trillions of financial aid within only days after the end of a long running bull market which had their stocks at their highest levels ever. Within days they were on the brink of financial collapse. Meanwhile, that aid they received was supposed to keep them from laying off workers (spoiler alert: many started laying off workers anyway).

We watched as people in the middle classes do not have the ability to go without a paycheck without putting everything they own and due at risk, to the point that they will protest to go back to work despite possible danger to others because of the more immediate threat to their families. Meanwhile, the jobs which people had sneered at before have now been labeled "essential" (meaning that they always were), keeping lower income employees working with limited safeguards for them and their loved ones, yet no commiserate raises in pay or benefits (aside from some token gestures). And that stimulus sent out, most went to large businesses who received it in a matter of hours, but those citizens who need it the most, who don't even have the ability to have it directly deposited, are still waiting.

I'm not even going to discuss the problem of trust that we have developed for our government, scientific community, and media.

During this time, we should be examining our idea of "normal." We should use this opportunity to make a better normal, not just long for a return to the poor facade that we saw before. We need to take this time to better ourselves as a nation and to improve the lives of everyone within it.

Like a Superhero

Many comic book heroes wear masks to hide their identity. In nearly every case, they explain that wearing the mask is not so much about protecting themselves, but protecting the ones they love. In this time when people are being asked to wear masks while out in public, the idea is similar, but even more expanded. We are being asked to wear masks to protect people who we do not even know, and possibly might never even meet.

I was quite self-conscious the first time I wore a mask out in public on one of my weekly runs to the post office. When I first got there, I was the only one wearing one. I passed a former student of mine going in, and I could tell that he not only recognized me, but made a judgement call along the lines of "Of course, HE would be wearing a mask when out." Meanwhile, my glasses were fogging and the smell of my breath was already bothering me.

Only as I was headed out did I see someone else come in also wearing a mask. Our eyes met, and I think I saw the same relief I was feeling of not being the only one in her eyes as well, but I could have been imagining it. I got back to the car, took the uncomfortable thing off and felt both relief from breathing in the fresh air and shame that I was so affected by the mask for such a short period of time while there are people wearing masks for their entire workday.

It's become easier for me since then. I've felt both more comfortable and less self-conscious Sure, I still have the suppressed desire to say to those without masks, "I'm not wearing this for me; I'm wearing it for you," but I'm pretty sure that could get misinterpreted. Besides, superheroes shouldn't have to explain why they wear their masks; they just need to keep trying to save lives.

Alita: Battle Angel

4/28/2020

Okay, her eyes are weird; once that fact is accepted, this movie is a joy to behold. At the recommendation of a friend of Janelle's, we picked up this movie a little while ago, and it has been sitting in our "to watch" pile (which we have been slowly whittling down). It immediately became one of my favorite sci-fi dystopian movies, even earning a place near our beloved The Fifth Element.

I do not know anything about the anime upon which this movie is based, but the movie does an excellent job capturing the graphic novel feel (which is not a huge surprise considering the director Robert Rodriguez's experience with movies like Sin City). The world built is both fantastic (in the sense of being like a fantasy) and believable (more so than the Maze Runner series we recently watched). I ended the movie still intrigued about the "history" of this future vision of our world. There are so many questions that I have--and hope that future installments will provide.

What I truly loved was the characters. The actors do an amazing job of making me care about their characters and their situations. I've already made a Maze Runner connection, but I should note that Rosa Salazar, who did a great job in the last two Maze Runner movies, really came into her own with this film--despite the large amount of CG enhancement her character takes. For playing a cyborg, her character's human reactions and emotions were a main selling point of the film for me. I should also mention that Mahershala Ali was not given enough screen time; his presence is undeniable even when given an otherwise cliche bad guy to play.

My regret about this movie is that I did not see it at the theater; this is a movie that certainly deserves a big screen showing. In fact, I wish I could have seen it in 3D as not only was it filmed using 3D cameras, but its producer is none other than the 3D master James Cameron himself (which also explains the believable, yet fantastic, world design). I will just have to settle for watching it again ... and perhaps again ... and so on until the sequel hopefully comes out.

Review of Final Fantasy VII Remake [mild spoilers]

4/27/2020

0 Comments

 
The short of it is this: If you liked the original Final Fantasy VII, but wished it had better graphics (along the lines of its sequel movie Advent Children) and a more fleshed out story, go get this game right now. While I have seen online a few complaints about some of the changes (most of which are in gameplay and additional story elements), I do not give them any credence. This game was exactly what I wanted it to be (with the exception of it being doled out in episodes that will be spread years apart).

Honestly, after its lengthy (about an hour) install, I booted up the game and just sat there listening to the opening music. Waves of peaceful nostalgia rolled over me, but I was almost afraid to hit start up the game itself. I need not have worried. Right from the reworked opening scene, it was clear that the team in charge of this had a deep reverence for the game, and better yet, a devotion to the spirit behind the game.

There are some parts that some people might not like. I should note that, as realistic as the new graphics are, this game is still a Japanese RPG at its heart. That means it holds true to some of those anime-style elements that are part of its DNA including provocatively dressed women and some rather effeminate men. To be blunt, people offended by crossdressing should probably not touch this game.

Even though the main characters and even many of the "extras" are developed in a much more realistic way, the villains are still almost cartoonish. Also, this remake doubles down on some of the stranger, metaphysical aspects of the first game, broadening on them to the point that I am not entirely sure what to expect from the future episodes. This game left me with a number of questions.

The game is also mostly "on rails." There are puzzles and a few spots where there are optional quests, but this follows the original in being a fairly linear game. In fact, it even reduces some of the party options that I remember the original having (including making one favorite character of mine completely under computer control), but it does so for the sake of a better story.

All that aside, this game affected me emotionally, beyond just the nostalgia aspect. In the original, you start as in an eco terrorist group who sets off a bomb, but it's done in a light-hearted "Luke blows up the Death Star" sort of way. World events in the past 23 years would have made a direct recreation difficult to swallow. This game shows the devastating effects of your opening actions (actions that are amplified by a diabolical plot) not only on the civilians you encounter, but on the characters themselves. It is tastefully and powerfully well done.

This game takes what was a few hours of content in the main game and fleshes out the story and details to give a solid 35-40 hours of content. Every side mission is worth exploring, not just for the in-game rewards, but for the character and world development that they bring. I found myself caring about side characters and even extras in ways that I did not expect.

The game itself holds true to elements of the original, but with modern, more action-based gameplay (although there is an option--which I did not explore--to play in "classic" mode). While I had a few issues with a few of the battles (and almost every battle is a challenge)--especially with targeting, I preferred this style to the original. I really felt like I was part of the action and like I accomplished something with each success.

It will be hard to wait another couple (or more) years for the next installment. Although the game is over, I have already started through it again on hard difficulty so that my characters and their weapons and materia are completely in preparation for the next game (assuming that there will be some sort of data transfer). I also am going to start a playthrough of the original again as it has been about two decades since I last played it and I would like to refresh in my mind what happens (especially since this one ends just as the characters leave Midgar).

I can only hope that the next episode is at least as good as this one.

The Third Sunday of Easter

4/26/2020

0 Comments

 
We might not recognize Jesus when we see Him. In today's Gospel, two of His disciples fail to recognize Him when He joins them on the road to Emmaus. Only when He shares with them the Eucharist do they recognize who He was, and in that moment, He disappears.

Our own encounters with Jesus can be mysterious and fleeting. We might not realize that He is present at any given moment. Yet surely, our hearts burn within us when we have the chance to do as He asks and recognize Christ in those around us. We need to look for Christ in those we encounter every day and learn to serve Him through serving them.

Our mass is going to be unrecognizable for a while too. We've now had seven Sundays where we have not been able to celebrate mass in the church and receive the Eucharist. Our pastor told us today that, even when we do return, the experience will be quite different. We still do not know what that will look like, but it will likely involve social distancing, fewer people allowed at any one service, changes in our actions during the service, and other unknowns that will make the mass different than before.

Still, it will be wonderful to be back together as a family in Christ even if the form of it looks a bit different.

Maze Runner Trilogy [spoilers]

4/25/2020

The boys and I just finished watching The Death Cure today. I have not read the books, but I heard that the movies deviated from them quite a bit, so that probably didn't matter. Of the three movies in the Maze Runner trilogy, I felt that the third was the most action-packed. The opening section (which, unfortunately, seriously injured the main lead and delayed filming of the movie) is my favorite sequence from all three of the movies. The second movie is the best at establishing the world, but it is the most forgettable of the three--even if it has a cameo with Alan Tudyk. However, it is the first movie that I (and the boys) like the most.

As a post-apocalyptic teen-centered story, this series falls short of the Hunger Games. There are certain similarities; however, in this case, when the kids are thrown in an "arena," they work together rather than try to kill each other. The added element of amnesia allows for more suspense and a few interesting twists in the first film (one of the reasons I think I like it better), but this idea is then mostly dropped from second two movies, missing the chance to explore the theme of building identity and self. Overall, theme development and in depth characterization is often dropped for the sake of dramatic moments.

I was also surprised to see this series devolve into another zombie story. It was almost as though the story decided to mash together as many horrific things as it could: An unstoppable disease that turns people into zombies, a series of solar flares that destroy the environment and billions of people (oh, and that somehow caused the zombie disease), losing one's memory (for no fully disclosed reason), mad scientists who torture children for the benefit of the wealthy, and mutant spider-robots (because, why not?). It also seemed to kill off characters just for the sake of killing them off like it was a George R.R. Martin rip-off but with less reasoning behind it.

I did notice a resonating image from the last movie where two of the main characters are walking through a city in which everyone is wearing masks (except them, of course). Considering the movie came out about two years ago, it seemed eerily prescient (although the boys pointed out that the people weren't social distancing). It was also interesting that the bad guys were the ones continually walling out the less fortunate, but were spreading the disease amongst themselves anyway.

I still appreciate the production and performances in the movies. While there are plot holes large enough to fly one of their massive helicopters through, if you can suspend your disbelief long enough, these are still popcorn-worthy films. However, unlike the Hunger Games, I don't have a strong desire to see these again.

That’s No Moon

Today, the Death Star’s main dish arrived in the mail. Janelle has given me over half of the Hot Wheels Star Wars Commemorative Starship collection as birthday and Christmas presents. She liked their silver look, but did not realize that each vehicle also included one of nine pieces of a silver Death Star. My collecting gene activated.

I found two more at Freddy’s for discount prices, but that was all that materialized. Up until the pandemic, I checked the toy department during every shopping trip for the two that I was missing (which included the top of the Death Star with the Millennium Falcon and the main dish with a speeder bike). Once we decided to isolate, I caved and bought those last two pieces on Amazon.

Unfortunately, that not only meant they were more expensive (being full price rather than marked down), but because they are not emergency supplies, their shipping was slowed. The top piece arrived almost two weeks before the last one arrived. However, today the wait was finally over, and I was at last able to feel that satisfactory click of all of the pieces fitting perfectly together.

Now, witness the power of this fully armed and operational battle station!

Eerie

Now, I'm used to Google, Amazon, and Facebook picking up on my general thought patterns as a way to display ads when I go surfing the interwebs, but this was a step beyond. Three days ago, when we were watching 1917, I remarked to Janelle about how I was really in the mood for movie popcorn. She wondered (and I just realized that I still haven't checked) if we still had some microwave popcorn sitting in our cupboard. However, I commented that microwave popcorn was not good enough to scratch that itch. A similar conversation came up again briefly yesterday with Rowen as he found some of our old (oh, so old) Boy Scout popcorn and was happily snacking on it.

So, what pops up on my Facebook feed this morning? The Orca Theater (which has been otherwise shuttered) will be selling buckets of movie popcorn this Saturday for a limited time. The timing is not universe-bending in it's coincidence, but it does make me wonder how directly I'm connected to the Matrix. Now, I'm not certain that I'm going to head over there on Saturday and satisfy my urge, but this has made me wonder one question:

What should I wish for next?

Screen Time

In general, I like working with computers. From time to time, I will get the itch to put in time on a long term project on them, such as creating digital badges last school year (back when I thought they would be the focus of my doctoral study) or making a comprehensive spreadsheet that accounted for all bonuses and negatives in a Dungeons and Dragons 3.5 (and 3.6) edition character. This does not even count the hours that I can spend losing myself in a video game.

So, why then is this online teaching draining me so much by the end of the day?

I read an article recently (perhaps today, it all blends together) about why video conferencing can be more exhausting than normal face to face meetings, so that could be part of it. I had five such meetings ranging from 25 minutes to over an hour today. I'm also spending a lot of time recording and then editing my readings of the literature I'm using for my English classes. However, I also have had the help of my student teacher who has taken about half of that responsibility for me.

Perhaps it's because it takes more time to respond to student work in writing rather than just conferring with them in class. Grading online is also quite different than grading on paper. I don't feel this is quite the reason as--sadly--fewer and fewer students are submitting assignments now that our district's "no harm" grading policy was made public (it is a bit sad that grades are some students' only motivation to learn). Again, my student teacher has been helping out here as well (Wow! I'd really be having trouble this quarter if I didn't have her help.).

I know that it's actually a combination of all of the above. Especially considering that I'm not driving to and from school, I'm putting in significantly more time each school day to stay caught up in my various tasks. As much as I like my computer and office area, I feel like we're spending a bit too much time together lately.

More Septic Concerns

4/21/2020

0 Comments

 
We've already had our septic tank pumped twice this year, but it's starting to look like we are going to need the hat trick to get us to this summer. It's only been over a month since the last pumping, but we are already hearing the telltale gurgling when washing laundry. The snow that has stayed around longer than it has in previous years is starting to rapidly melt, overloading our leach field's already overstrained drainage area.

The boys and I went out yesterday to shovel the lawn in a hope that we could delay the pumping a bit longer. Unfortunately, drizzle and rain has hampered our efforts and kept the lawn quite soggy. We just have to keep being cautious with our water usage and pray for the best.

I know that it will be expensive, but I'm looking forward to getting this problem fixed.

1917 [mild spoilers]

4/20/2020

Quite simply, this movie astounded me. The continuous camera perspective that continues throughout the movie is a kind of film magic that I have never seen on this sort of scale before. Certainly, there are mini breaks from time to time where segments could be spliced together, but even that meticulous editing leave me in awe.

The story moves just as smoothly with the character development building from the very first shot and leading to a point where I was deeply invested in what was going to happen. The dialogue was well-crafted and the events that occur throughout were tremendously believable (well, one part pushed my boundaries of disbelief a bit). I even found myself caring about some of the few characters seen only briefly and wondering what would have happened in their continuing stories.

World War I is not a common topic of modern forms of entertainment. Aside from portions of Downton Abbey and the video game Battlefield 1, I can't remember seeing recent depictions of "The Great War." I suppose the fact that the villains aren't as clear--historically speaking--and the much of the action was limited so much in mobility (although not in devastation) that it probably does not lend itself to the type of visual media to which we currently are accustomed. I found that the conceit of following a specific mission from start to conclusion an excellent way for the film to explore the various facets of the Western Front.

This is a movie that, not only do I want to see again, but I want to spend some time combing through the extras to see how they managed to accomplish something so phenomenal.

The Second Sunday of Easter [more controversial than I expected]

4/19/2020

0 Comments

 
Due to our situation regarding the coronavirus, I've been giving a good deal of thought to the concept of faith. Today's Gospel has Thomas not willing to believe in Jesus' resurrection until he could touch the risen Lord. There are many people who attained their faith in similar ways; people whose direct contact with God was undeniable, not something that could be dismissed as fancy or imagination. In some ways I envy them, but in many, I don't. My doubts allow me leeway in my thoughts and actions. With hard, incontrovertible truth facing me, I would be overwhelmed by my lack of worthiness and the sinfulness of my nature.

In connection to the coronavirus, we see people dealing with the challenges of belief. Most people (fortunately, at this point) have no connection at all to the disease, some to the point that they do not even believe it exists at all, or that it exists in a way other than the experts tell them (the atheists and agnostics of the coronavirus, if you will). To some degree, everyone without direct experience has those questions of faith, questions of the virus' existence, questions of the virus' power, questions about the motives behind those who proclaim the virus' effects on us, questions about the restrictions placed on us because of this virus, etc.

There are those who know of someone within their realms of work, friends, or family whom the disease has infected. For them, the disease is simultaneously real and unreal. They still hold the suspicions shared by those who are completely untouched by the disease, but out of respect for their coworkers, friends, or family infected, they are more inclined to believe in the disease and heed the warnings given.

Then there are those whose lives have been touched directly by the disease. Perhaps they lost a loved one to it; perhaps they suffered themselves. For them, there is no doubt that the disease is real. However, there are those among them who were touched in very different ways, those who were tested positive, but with little or no impact on their health or daily life. Some of these give prayers of thankfulness; others find themselves in one of the above categories.

This is a clumsy analogy--comparing faith in a disease to faith in God based on experience with one or the other. Still, I cannot help but notice similar patterns. Those who do not believe in the disease are protesting laws based on it. God's laws are often treated in a similar fashion. Similarly, experts in both fields are doubted, their motivations are questioned. Interestingly, both divides tend to run along political lines.

I suppose that I'm saying this: Those who believe in one but not the other should recognize that they share more in common with those who believe the opposite of them than they would like to admit. Why do we expect more understanding from people who do not share our faith than we do from ourselves?

Future Shock

4/18/2020

0 Comments

 
Rapid changes in a society often lead to responses that are based in fear. Any disruption to the comfortable, or at least predictable, flow of our daily lives often leads to anxiety. Anxiety directly slows the processing of the higher order functions of our brains. When an entire society encounters a rapid change, this fear of the unknown future magnifies in intensity, often leading large groups of people to make extreme decisions in what they believe and even how they express themselves.

Historically, hardcore fundamentalist movements often arise when religions come into contact with other belief systems. Extreme hoarding and and crime increases in times of economic distress. Hate groups often arise in opposition to changes in civil rights. The word "sabotage" literally comes from when the Dutch threw their wooden shoes into factory machines out of an effort to break them in a response to the changing technology (I first learned this from Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country). Basically, people push back against any kind of change, and sometimes in violent ways.

Thus, I have been impressed that the protests against various states' measures to limit social distancing have been nonviolent. Certainly, I have many personal reservations about the protests and some the antics of some of the protestors. However, this sort of push-back is a very natural expression of uneasiness, fear, and anxiety, so I am happy that the protests has been mostly in rhetoric and that the actions have not been destructive.

May that continue to be the case.

In the Zone [post-dated for 4-17-20]

4/18/2020

So, I ended up not writing a post yesterday because I got completely caught up in the game I was playing (the Final Fantasy 7 Remake) and only realized how late it was when it was nearly midnight. I then played for another hour. It has been a while since I have been so swept away by a game, probably not since Breath of the Wild.

I'm a little over halfway through with the game and loving it. I forgot how much the story pulls me along; each event makes me want to see the next one. Basically, I keep telling myself "just a little longer." I have so much nostalgia for the original game that playing this remastered version gives me a feeling of comfort while still having enough differences to keep its novelty.

I will write a review once I finish the game. Right now, I just want to keep playing it. However, I need to make certain that I'm still fulfilling my other obligations (and probably sleep a bit too).
