defining moments: The birth of his son, Ewan

· His parents are native to South Korea. As soon as they were married, they moved to America to give their first and only son a better life. It was a typical life, too. He was happy and content. His was smart, loved to explore different things and often delved into music. That wasn't ideal for his parents, but they allowed him to take guitar lessons regardless if they wanted him to learn the skill or not. In high school he met his first love, Jun Park, another Korean in the small town of Astoria, Oregon. They grew close relatively quickly and she got the approval by his parents quickly, too.

· The two of them managed to go to college together, graduate and simply live a good life. They were happy, but they did not get married. A part of Jude wasn't sure if the married life was in the near future for them, though he had the desire to marry. As they started to grow together, he was becoming more and more okay with the idea of marrying Jun. Their life did change drastically when she became pregnant and had their son, Ewan. Jude fell completely in love. He was a good father, happy to do anything they his son and girlfriend needed. Yet, he still did not ask her to marry him. He wondered if that's why she did what she did - Jun cheated on him. It completely devastated him.

· It was a messy break-up. Their son caught in the middle of it all. Luckily, it was a dual-custody agreement between Jun and Jude but there's been an agreement where Ewan spends more time with his father as it has started to become a drag for Jun to take care of her son. At least, that's what it seemed like. The visits became less and less and contacting Jun became harder. The situation was rough for Jude, but he prevailed nonetheless. He decided a move was more than needed.

· Dauntridge, Oregon became a haven that Jude and Ewan didn't know they needed. He found a place within the small, quaint town. He bought a townhouse. He got a job at the local pub which tips help him get by. Jude even joined a local band and they often play at the pub or other small venues in town of presence and being a single dad but he genuinely gets by the best he can with what he currently has.

The same but different

Title: “Captain Marvel”

Release date: March 8, 2019

Starring: Brie Larson, Samuel L. Jackson, Ben Mendelsohn, Jude Law, Annette Bening, Djimon Hounsou, Lee Pace, Lashana Lynch, Gemma Chan, Clark Gregg

Directed by: Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck

Run time: 2 hours, 8 minutes

Rated: PG-13

What it’s about: The story of Carol Danvers, a 1990s military pilot who gets caught up in a war between two alien races.

How I saw it: Let’s start with some disclaimers. I am not the target audience of “Captain Marvel” or any Marvel Cinematic Universe film. My money spends the same as other moviegoers’, and I’ve paid to see (and paid for my now 20-year-old son to see) each of the 40 or so (an exaggeration) MCU movies.

But I’m older (58) and (this matters, apparently to many, with “Captain Marvel”) male. And, perhaps to the chagrin of star Brie Larson, a white male writing movie reviews. (Larson has decried the lack of diversity among film critics, especially when they have been critical of her movies.) If that were not enough, I have trouble following most any fantasy movie, whether its superhero movies, or the 40 or so “Star Wars” movies (Sequel? Prequel?) or even “The Lord of the Rings” trilogy. Trying to remember the weird names and understanding what side of warring factions each character is on and what deep concept they are fighting over gets exhausting and confusing, especially over the course of many movies. To make matters worse, the MCU movies became a blur about a half-dozen films ago. Sure, lesser-known Marvel characters have been introduced, and each brings a slightly fresh set perspective. But the Marvel movies stick to a strict, bankable formula. Only the names of the characters, the planets, the alien races and the prized jewel/cube/orb change.

“Captain Marvel” is an MCU movie, and all the defining traits are there – planets in peril, a conflicted but charismatic hero, threatening villain, in-jokes, Stan Lee cameo, CGI everything. But it is different and arguably more significant because – in case you had not heard -- it is the first MCU movie to focus on a female superhero. Or is it superheroine?

That makes viewing “Captain Marvel” objectively a difficult exercise. Even if you could ignore the pre-release hype/controversy (much of the audience was going to like it sight unseen just because its strikes a blow for feminism; and much of the audience was going to hate it sight unseen just because it strikes a blow for feminism), there’s no doubting directors Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck (who co-wrote the script with Geneva Robertson-Dworet) knew what they had was groundbreaking and knew what they wanted to do with the opportunity.

Larson plays Carol Danvers, a 1990s military pilot who, when we meet her, is a warrior (known just as Vers) for the extraterrestrial Krees, who are at war with the Skrulls, green shapeshifters with pointy ears who presumably are the bad guys. Vers is captured by the Skrulls, who probe her memory. She escapes and flies a pod to Earth, where she crashes into a Blockbuster store (remember those?) and right into mid-1990s culture.

The movie, after its origin story intro, takes a turn for the better when it reaches Earth. The story gets complicated here (just know that nothing is as it seems), but it probably matters little anyway. Vers eventually figures out who she was, what got her into the middle of an intergalactic battle and what she must do to end it.

Larson might seem an odd choice for the part, but she didn’t win a Best Actress Oscar for nothing. She seems to grow more comfortable in the role as it moves along and holds her own in the action scenes. She benefits, also, from great chemistry with Samuel L. Jackson, who has been de-aged (he’s 70 in real life) with seamless computer imagery. He plays S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Nick Fury, just as he has in other MCU movies, and this also serves as his origin story. Ben Mendelsohn has carved out a pretty good living as a movie bad guy (“Dark Knight Rises,” “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story” and “Ready Player One” among them), and he has a fun time here as Talos, the misunderstood leader of the Skrulls. And let’s not forget scene-stealing Goose the Cat, who already is the subject of a popular meme.

But this is Captain Marvel’s show, and girl power is the focus. Vers/Carol Danvers frequently is told to keep her emotions in check by, of course, men. Yon-Rogg (Jude Law), her supposed mentor with the Krees, reminds her that he (a man) has made her the best possible person she could be. A montage shows a young Danvers being mocked by boys and men as she participates in traditionally male activities. Danvers becomes a role model for the young daughter of a friend. And the film is filled with (mostly) female-centric music from the ‘90s, including the too-obvious “Just a Girl” by No Doubt.

Look (if you can) past that theme, though, and “Captain Marvel” is a slightly above-average Marvel Cinematic Universe release. Beyond its leading character, it doesn’t break new ground or noticeably raise the MCU bar. It moves the series along nicely without damaging or reinventing it. And, groundbreaking aspects aside, it’s fun (and often funny) and entertaining -- even if you find yourself outside the target audience.

My score: 77 out of 100

Should you see it? If you are familiar with the Marvel movies (and who isn’t at this point?), you’ll know whether this is your thing. Even if it is not, this is two hours of above-average, popcorn-munching movie entertainment that happens to be socially significant.

Social Distancing Self-Care: Links

Being chronically ill, I am used to being at home for days and even weeks on end. But I know most of my listeners are not. The only change for me right now is that my doctors’ appointments and physical therapy appointments are being canceled, which does also mean not writing at Starbucks or Barnes and Noble. My anxiety, of course, is heightened by everything that is going on, but the actual social distancing aspect is normal life for me. I know most of you are feeling cabin fever (which is a great movie, by the way, and about a virus–more about using horror to safely experience real-life fears in the next episode), coming right up. My love goes out to you guys. As I wrote on the Facebook page, in the Facebook group, and in the Goodreads group:

I have such empathy and love for all of you. Being forced to stay home and act like the world might make you sick…I know how scary and uncomfortable it is. Please take a moment and sit in empathy, as you struggle with your new reality of social distancing. This is how I have been living for the last six years. Not as strictly. But still the same. Some weeks I only go out of the house for my therapy appointment and a coffee afterwards. Know that when I say this, I am remembering my first days and weeks home from work, and the first days and weeks after each new diagnosis, and how very difficult they were. I am so sorry; I don’t want anyone else to feel this way. I promise the cabin fever goes away. Take very good care of yourself and each other, see this as an opportunity. That’s the lesson it has taken me years to learn.

So I am working on the above-mentioned episode, and other future episodes, and also working on intense self-care. This self-care includes distracting myself with creativity and fascinating media I have been meaning to consume. I thought I’d share some of that media with you, in order to inspire and encourage you. Share some of your own in the comments, or wherever you post your own thoughts. Feel free to promote those links in the comments as well for my listeners.

Letterboxd: Carol Kane’s movies

A horror movie I’ve never heard of! And it looks terrifying. The Mafu Cage (1978), directed by Karen Arthur. It stars Carol Kane and Lee Grant (The Omen), and I can’t wait to watch it. It looks like true 1970’s horror grittiness mixed with the likes of Whatever Happened to Baby Jane and The Bad Seed: psychological horror movies where it really comes down to the interpersonal relationship between two people who may not be sane. And a la Clive Barker’s Lord of Illusions, horror of horrors, there’s a simian involved. Those Illusions scenes, short as they are, nearly do me in.

A terrifying love story.

Two strange sisters live in a crumbling mansion, where they keep a pet ape, which belonged to their late father, locked in a cage. While one of the sisters seems to be keeping her head on straight, as it were, the other appears to be sinking further and further into barbarism and insanity.

For lighter fare, and a good laugh, here’s a horror spoof I found: Pandemonium (1982):

Tom Smothers (of the Smothers Brothers) stars as the brave mountie, who along with his trusty horse and bitter deputy Paul Reubens (Pee Wee Herman!) must track down a killer who is stalking coeds at a nearby cheerleader camp.

Also stars Carol Kane, Edie McClurg (Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, Carrie), Judge Reinhold (Fast Times at Ridgemont High), Phil Hartman (Kiki’s Delivery’s Service, How I Got Into College), Eileen Brennan (Clue), Donald O’Connor (Singing in the Rain), and Tab Hunter (Damn Yankees, Grease 2). I am definitely going to seek this out, and will report back. I’m not normally a fan of horror comedy, but this looks so cute and funny. And Carol Kane! Letterboxd, Amazon (not currently available, but you can add it to your watchlist to let Amazon know you want to watch it). Just knowing this exists makes me feel better.

A spoof of camp horror movies with Canadian mounties thrown in. Yes.

Then there’s Trees Lounge: Steve Buscemi, Carol Kane, Chloe Sevigny, Samuel L. Jackson, Debi Mazar, Io Tillet Wright. Directed by Steve Buscemi. What the what. How did this get past me?!

Tommy has lost his job, his love and his life. He lives in a small apartment above the Trees Lounge, a bar which he frequents along with a few other regulars without lives. He gets a job driving an ice cream truck and ends up getting involved with the seventeen-year-old niece of his ex-girlfriend. This gets him into serious trouble with her father.

One of my Letterboxd friends called this “Cheers without the happy”. I cannot wait to see this./> Letterboxd, Amazon

These are the movies written by my friend Eric Garcia–I met Eric at Yale Summer School 1989, between our junior and senior years of high school–he was taking Drama, I was taking Psychology, and Gender and Political Science; we initially bonded over our similar sense of humors and Goodbye Yellow Brick Road (oh oh whoa whoa whoa whoa): Letterboxd:

Matchstick Men (2003): Nicholas Cage, Sam Rockwell, Jenny O’Hara:

A phobic con artist and his protege are on the verge of pulling off a lucrative swindle when the con artist’s teenage daughter arrives unexpectedly.

(the novel: Matchstick Men: A Novel About Grifters with Issues)

Repo Men (2010): Jude Law, Forest Whitaker:

In the future, medical technology has advanced to the point where people can buy artificial organs to extend their lives. But if they default on payments, an organization known as the Union sends agents to repossess the organs.

(the novel)

Strange But True (2019): Greg Kinnear, Blythe Danner:

A woman surprises the family of her deceased boyfriend by telling them she’s pregnant with his child.

Yes, “Matchstick Men”, if you are my age, that should induce a half-remembered earmworm…

…inspired by the Camper Van Beethoven song, since we’re entertaining ourselves here. And guess what, o happy of happies? Ozzy Ozbourne covered it, with Type O Negative. Have fun!

As always, to follow what I am watching, here’s my Letterboxd diary. Feel free to follow me on there, and I will follow you back.

As for books…I just finished Ronan Farrow’s Catch and Kill: Lies, Spies, and a Conspiracy to Protect Predators. I will never give NBC any of my time nor money again. Also, excuse some brief vulgarity and anger, which is rare for me: fuck Matt Lauer, fuck Lester Holt for being an enabler and minimizer for Matt Lauer, fuck the legal team and highest management at NBC and MSNBC, and fuck Harvey Weinstein and everyone that helped, enabled and ignored him. I say all this as an aghast survivor and an aghast human. About Matt Lauer: that softpedal they gave us, with Savannah Guthrie crying that morning of his firing, reading a statement about “harassment” and “inappropriate work environment”, it was farthest from the truth. Matt Lauer is a violent rapist, and know that going into reading this book. It’s explicit, and much more that you will ever expect. Also, Weinstein is much, much worse than you even knew.

In better news, I posted about this book and how it helped me, and Rose McGowan posted a comment of solidarity on my Instagram post. I cried, and I cry every time I think about it, tears of happiness and healing.

So, while we’re at it: Letterboxd: Rose McGowan’s movies

Rose McGowan: Instagram

Rose McGowan Arts: Instagram: her photography and videography art

Her book Brave is next on my list. According to Letterboxd, there’s an accompanying documentary in the works, about which I am very excited.

If you are into true crime, and i know many of you are, here’s the list of recent 5-stars I finished, including those by my talented friend Caitlin Rother:

Lost Girls * Caitlin Rother

I’ll Take Care of You * Caitlin Rother

My Daddy Is a Hero: How Chris Watts Went From Family Man to Family Killer * Lena Derhally (deep dive into this case by a therapist–the whole second half of the book is a thoughtful, intellectual examination of what might be wrong with Chris Watts)

Scarred: The True Story of How I escaped NXIVM, the Cult That Bound My Life * Sarah Edmondson with Kristine Gasbarre (narrated by Sarah, and the audiobook was directed by Kate Winslet)

The Five: The Untold Lives of the Women Killed by Jack the Ripper * Hallie Rubenhold (more history than true crime, incredibly moving and marvelous detective work)

My long-suffering library hold for Madeline Miller‘s Circe finally came through, and I am beyond excited. I loved her gorgeous Song of Achilles so very much. It was so luscious in its imagery and relationship, and its retelling of myth.

I am also reading, on my Kindle, His Garden, Conversations with a Serial Killer, by Anne K. Howard, about William Devin Howell. I’m listening to The Wild Heart of Stevie Nicks written and narrated by Rob Sheffield, the author of the thought-full and moving journal of essays Love Is a Mix Tape: Life and Loss, One Song At a Time. It’s only two hours long but it’s taking me forever because I keep having to pause it to listen to her music.

I’m also knitting a blanket for Wil Wheaton. It all came about from an Instagram conversation about coziness and Muppets last year. There’s been a reboot of this blanket; I won’t bore you with the details and carnage…suffice it to say I won’t be using chenille yarn ever again. I’ll follow up here and on Instagram with new photos. The concept is a warm Muppet hug, and the base pattern is the Elm Avenue Throw Blanket by Lauren Scungio. (Feel free to follow me at Ravelry, my user name is CarlaYarn.)

View this post on Instagram

Rebooting @itswilwheaton’s Muppet hug blanket. Why? It’s a long story involving many struggles, ending with the strong resolution that I will never knit with chenille again. Stitches kept gapping and stretching; it was a crime scene. Anyway! Revamped, and the end result is going to be much more joyous and colorful, and durable. I chose colors of @knitpicks Brava that corresponded to 19079’s old-school Muppets, including overlooked intrepid reported Prairie Dawn. The Muppets are Big Bird, Bert, Ernie, Cookie, Prairie, Kermit and Herry. The original yarn retained from the original plan is the fuzzy one—the Caron Latte Cakes—it adds the furry aspect as a carry-along. The pattern is the same: the Elm Avenue Throw Blanket by #laurenscungio and #loopsandthreads. I’ve making it on larger needles than called-for for extra squish. Wil, I hope this brings you and @annewheaton much coziness and comfort. Now that I have worked out the frustration (and my health is cooperating), this blanket should be “Movin’ Right Along”. If anyone wants to follow along or check it out.

I shall return with, of course, the aforementioned podcast episode, and more links, more suggestions, and more photos, especially photos of the knitting. I hope this long collection has helped–I spent all afternoon aggregating it. As always, any of the books mentioned can be collected for free with a trial membership from Audible, which helps me out, through this link: http://audibletrial.com/mightbecupcakes. As well, using any of the links in this or any post on the site helps me out. Our family budget is on lockdown. You know I still do not receive disability, and now my husband cannot go out to work. So your clicks and purchases really help, thank you so much. I will also be uploading more scripts to the show’s Patreon, and updating the Patreon levels. Please consider joining, and thank you. If you are not a fan of Patreon, you can also leave me a tip at Flattr. Episode 59 is on its way. I love you, and I hope you find something in this post fun.

To leave this on the most possible fun note, puppies must be involved, right? Well, my parents have three dogs (to my two), and the youngest, still a puppy, is Olivia Benson, and she is a very rare full hermaphrodite. She is cute as as a button as well as fascinating (her vet is going to publish a paper on her). We (meaning me, prompted by my parents via text message as they send over pictures as well) have been chronicling her journey on Instagram at @oliviathespecialpug. Give her a follow. She’s cute and sassy and ridiculously smart. Her older brothers Spencer Reid the pug and Preston the long-haired dachshund show up occasionally as well, and they’re all just stinkin’ adorable. I’ll leave you with her most recent shots. This first one was from Sunday, I was watching 48 Meters Down: Unchanged (I know, I know, here’s my review), and she was falling asleep with her arm on my shoulder, like a human, then there were birdies! She pointed at the tv then looked at me with great confusion then pointed again. The next one was from her spaying + neutering–yes, she had to have both, in a compound, complicated surgery, and she is stoned out of her gourd. I laugh every time I look at these. To me, she looks like a furry toad. I hope they make you laugh, too.

I am recovering from my complicated neutering/spaying surgery nicely, but my first experience with pain meds has me very confused and doing a really good Baby Yoda impression. @carlahaunted was dogsitting me, and I kept standing up stiff legged suddenly, like I had forgotten something (Carla said it was like I had remembered I had locked my keys in my car) and then standing up on my back legs like a meerkat. I finally slept with a good, juicy pain meds + pug flatnose snore. I figured out how to untie my stuffed cone of shame. I am one clever puppy, even on pain medication. My big brothers are worried about me, but being very gentle and very well behaved. I can’t wait to play with them again. #Pugstagram #puglife #puglifechoseme #hermaphrodite #olivia #oliviabenson #detoliviabenson #svu #lawandordersvu #oliviathepug #oliviabensonthepug #oliviathehermaphroditepug #puppiesofinstagram #pugsofinstagram #pugpuppies #pugpuppiesofinstagram #pugs #pugchronicles #flatnosesociety

FCB Inferno debuts stirring rallying cry for Sport England’s This Girl Can

Creative agency FCB Inferno and Sport England have launched a rallying cry that encapsulates many of the challenges and judgments that women still face – and flies in the face of them with a message of strength, confidence, and empowerment. The rallying cry can be seen in this week’s Stylist Magazine, alongside some of the stories of the women starring in the campaign. It was first released on This Girl Can’s social channels to commemorate International Women’s Day, and was supported and reshared by the likes of the UN Women’s UK account and Olympian Lizzie Simmonds. The work is part of a push in 2020 to confront the ways society must change to ensure all women feel like they too can be active, and follows on from a triumphant return to TV and out of home in January. This Girl Can hit its five-year mark in January 2020. The world has shifted dramatically in the last half a decade, as has the way that women are marketed to. But many of the original emotional, practical, and societal barriers the campaign sought to help women overcome in 2015 persist. Simultaneously, there are many women – including the women of the campaign – who can bust past their barriers to exercise time and time again and, through the simple act of getting moving, encourage others to do the same. For the first time, This Girl Can has created something that reflects the women of our campaign without showing them visually. Instead, we have created a rallying cry that draws from and is inspired by the women in our campaign and in our community.

Sharon Jiggins, EVP, FCB Inferno said: “This Girl Can has become known for showing women as they indeed are through our authentic and honest imagery and mantras. In 2020, we wanted to articulate women’s shared experiences in a new way, using our community as the inspiration for a rallying cry for all. “This piece of prose touches upon unspoken truths and shared experiences that many women have in common, and embrace every ability, experience, and way of moving.

It wants everyone in England, regardless of age, background, or level of ability, to feel able to engage in sport and physical activity. That’s why a lot of its work is specifically focused on helping people who do no, or very little, physical activity and groups who are typically less active - like women, disabled people and people on lower incomes. About This Girl Can Since 2015, Sport England has been working to address the significant gender gap found in sports and exercise, to build women’s confidence around being active, and help them meet the Chief Medical Officers’ guidance. The campaign was based on the insight that 75% of women say they want to do more sporting activities or exercise, but one of the unifying barriers found to be holding them back is a fear of judgement. This Girl Can’s objective is to encourage women to engage in physical activity regardless of shape, size, age or ability.
