The boilerplate capsule from the Big Joe mission on the deck of the USS STRONG (DD-758) following its recovery in the Atlantic Ocean.

"At local sunrise, the Big Joe capsule was spotted by a Navy P2V Neptune patrol plane allowing it to vector the nearest destroyer, the USS STRONG over 160 kilometers away, towards the wayward capsule for recovery. By about 10:00 AM EST, the Big Joe capsule was recovered and brought aboard STRONG. It was subsequently transferred to a cargo plane and flown to Cape Canaveral. The capsule arrived by 10 PM on launch day and was moved to Hangar S by midnight. Close inspection of the capsule showed that only 30% of the heat shield had ablated away and that the capsule was perfectly protected despite the punishing flight. While there was some buckling of the outer skin of the capsule where heating was especially intense and a couple of recovery hooks on Mercury’s cylindrical forward section were heavily eroded, there were few signs of thermal damage to the capsule."

"look longer"

On stands at the same time, appearing with the same cover date -- always curious when that happens as though the line sprung from an office brainstorm session. If one blanches a bit at the length of the "short skirt", I can point to Veronica's fashion in the lower panel. I am not sure Jughead makes sense as the relayer of the line. The line sooner or later moves to Archie Comics's bread and butter -- the beach.

We have "taller", "better" and "longer". I don't what properly fits, or if we have quickly exhausted what can constitute an adjective ending in "er" for set up.

"What happened during my trance?"

"Nothing. Something as ancient as mankind itself. Science's senseless struggle to break the barriers that separate us from God."

“Oh, Merlin, tell me, does THE PRINCESS get what she deserves?” She is in THE DEATH EATERS & CLOSED to finding out.“

— she walks through the world as ;

name → narcissa black pronouns → she/her identification → cis female year of birth → september 1958 - september 1959 face claim → sydney sweeny blood status → pure-blood  sexual orientation → up to applicant occupation → socialite amongst high society in wizarding london future information → wife of lucius malfoy, mother of draco malfoy

— she is best described as ;

The sweet scent of freshly important MACAROONS eaten at afternoon tea & PINK CHAMPAGNE poured into a crystal glass. She is the echoing LAUGH in a GIRLS BATHROOM after a WICKED joke is told & a SECRET whispered behind a SATIN GLOVE when no one is looking. She is MANIPULATION & STEEL dressed up as BEAUTY & GRACE . Anything but the innocent FLOWER, she is the SERPENT underneath.

— her story starts with ;

tw: death

The glimmering jewel in the crown of the Black family, Narcissa Black is as feared as she is loved. Beautiful like her mother, yet intelligent like her father, Narcissa believes she is entitled to the best that life has to offer and with her family’s social standing she stands head and shoulders above all. The youngest daughter of CYGNUS BLACK [father] and DRUELLA BLACK [mother], Narcissa was in many ways their easiest child, she was a beautiful girl who liked beautiful things and her mother in particular was happy to give her them. Narcissa completed her family perfectly, giving her mother an outlet for someone to talk make-up and clothing with which bored her more politically minded sisters. Despite their clear differences in personality, Narcissa grew up close to her sisters BELLATRIX BLACK [sibling] and ANDROMEDA BLACK [sibling], though she at times found their behaviour quite tiresome. Like their father Bellatrix was opinionated, though Narcissa noticed she was often forthcoming with her opinion when no one had asked, whilst Andromeda hid her beauty in the pages of a book rather than make connections with other members of their society.

It became clear quite early in Narcissa’s life that it was she that would bear the weight of making an advantageous marriage and to further her family line, with her eldest sister destined for a career in politics and Andromeda presumably for one in academia. Hogwarts school was her first real taste of how to not only command a room but a social group. The moment she was seated at the Slytherin table, Narcissa took note of all of the eligible people who were sorted into her house, careful to ensure that ELEANOR YAXLEY [best friend], KLAUDIE BURKE [close friend], ROSALINE DAVIS [close friend] ZARINA ZABINI [close frriend] and VALERIA BULSTRODE [close friend] had a seat beside her. Making friends from The Sacred Twenty-Eight was of Narcissa’s top priority and like minded witches who were easy to manage were her preferred sort of people. Other names had crossed her list, but the likes of GENEVIEVE AVERY [friend/adversary] seemed more content with making themselves look better and eclipsing Narcissa’s spotlight in the process, which meant girls like ANASTASIA SIMINOVA [friend/adversary] EVORA CROUCH [friend/adversary] and PRIMROSE POMFREY [friend/adversary] stayed out of her inner circle and firmly in Genevieve's. 

By the time Narcissa had arrived at school, her sisters had already set a precedent for her arrival. Bellatrix and their cousin EVAN ROSIER [cousin] were merciless bullies who targeted muggle-borns, whilst Andromeda was a well liked model student and prefect, meaning Narcissa was unlikely to be bothered. A model student also and a prefect whilst at Hogwarts, Narcissa was somewhat of a combination of her two sisters, unwilling to back down from a challenge but preferred to conduct her attacks secretly. A persuasive witch, Narcissa was able to convince others to do her dirty work for her. People like RABASTAN LESTRANGE [close friend] took care of her cousin SIRIUS BLACK [cousin/adversary] and the disgraceful group he chose to surround himself with, whilst the occasional bit of gossip and a quiet word to her teachers here and there from herself and REGULUS BLACK [cousin/close friend] or VICTOR YAXLEY [close friend] put to bed any threats to her power within school and helping her secure her spot in The Slug Club, as well as her positions of prefect and later Head Girl. 

Finally into the world, the idea of working before she ran her own household did not appeal to Narcissa and she quickly got to work establishing herself in Wizarding London’s social scene. Looking good was a full time job for Narcissa, but she was not your average Sacred Twenty-Eight witch with marriage on her mind. From an intelligent family with important political connections, Narcissa had a sharp mind and was careful not only about what she was saying but what she was hearing and who was her ideal match. LUCIUS MALFOY [friend/potential love interest] had been on Narcissa’s mind for some time. A friend of her eldest sister’s, she had watched him rise in the political world, just like his father had done before him and fancied him as someone she maybe could consider her intellectual and social equal. The two had been getting closer before her world had changed and despite having their best interests at heart, Narcissa is still wounded by the attack on her reputation that followed the untimely death of The Minister’s son BOOKER BAGNOLD [person of interest].

Before his death, her family was established, now they were questioned. In an unfortunate string of events that saw Narcissa accidently holding Booker’s wand that evening due to a plot by her sister gone wrong, Narcissa was forced to endure an embarrassing trip to The Ministry’s integration room, her face on The Daily Prophet and worst of all, her marriage prospect suddenly in a relationship with a Witch Weekly model. Narcissa was outraged. Then her family let her in on their dirty secret. The Dark Lord was a mysterious wizard who had seemingly chosen her family to further his word, a powerful man, unlike any they had seen before, her father and Bellatrix believed he was the key to making their world a better and less tolerant place, leaving people like them at the top without having to endure the likes of squibs and muggle-borns. Narcissa was reluctant to join the ranks of The Dark Lord, until she discovered he had another important follower that wished to rise in his ranks, Lucius. 

Narcissa is as content as she can muster being an associate of The Dark Lord’s and listening out in high society for anything that may threaten their plans. Instead she chooses to focus on her image and achieve her ultimate goal. Complete control of London’s high society and the man of her dreams by her side. Calculated, Narcissa has began to insert herself into the life of ANDRESSA PARKINSON [person of interest] to find out her secrets and shortcomings in the hopes of driving a wedge between her and Lucius, though Andressa may end up being the least of her problems. As the most sought after witch in Wizarding London, the target on Narcissa’s back is a large one, with multiple people begging to see her reign at the top come to an end, including those within her own friendship group. There are many who would do whatever it takes to topple her, including using dirt gathered on her more unassuming sister Andromeda in order to do it.

A Canticle for Leibowitz

by Walter M. Miller Jr.

This book was originally published in 1959. It is post-apocalypse science fiction. Phrases among the English appear in Latin and Hebrew. I looked them up as I went, but eventually just read past them for the most part. The world is reduced to post nuclear rubble. Artifacts of the past are looked upon with wonder and veneration. You realize how very easily a doodad we take for granted today might become a mysterious holy relic in the future. Miller foresaw the mutation of science dominated by religion.

The book is divided into three sections, each separated by about 600 years, with new characters, either accepting their ancestor’s historical assessments, or wondering if their fathers might have been ignorant of reality. The setting feels medieval.

In Fiat homo (Let there be Man), Brother Francis seems to be led by the Divine to find a holy place: Fallout Survival Shelter, thanks to an old man. It is a place not seen or touched by any person in centuries. And there he finds the holiest of holy documents: a blueprint. The consequences of his find are not to be fully explored in Brother Francis’ lifetime. At the end of Part One, we get some sense of time as it is said to be the Year of Our Lord 3174.

Fiat Eux (Let them be) follows a skeptic who has some sense of what a blueprint might really represent. It is over six hundred years later and yet the old man from the first section shows up. Has the fallout caused this? Or is there some error in their calendar? They are still in rubble, but finally, after generations of darkness, came the generations of The Light.

Fiat Voluntas Tua (Thy will be done) jarringly jumps into a space-age, with humans evolved to their environment. And there he is again, that impossibly old man. The religious hierarchy remains in place even after thousands of years. The question is, have they evolved beyond their petty desires of control, domination, and war?

I wasn’t sure at first, but I liked this book. I was compelled to finish it, even though it took thousands of years. It doesn’t have the action and good guy versus bad guy that we are accustomed to in science fiction these days. But it certainly makes you think. The Latin phrases give it an authentic feel of generational connection and misunderstanding. In 2000 years, our progeny will laugh at our language and the funny way we look. They may wonder why we fought huge wars and killed so many people – or they may wonder why we didn’t kill a lot more people. Either way, they will still be us.

You might enjoy this book if you like apocalypse stories that cover multiple generations. You will enjoy it if you like to read books that make you think. This classic book is still provocative, 65 years after it was published.

WALTER M. WILLER A Canticle for Leibowitz

The world weighed heavily upon him. What did the world weigh? It weighs, but is not weighed. Sometimes its scales are crooked. It weighs life and labor in the balance against silver and gold. That’ll never balance. But fast and ruthless, it keeps on weighing. It spills a lot of life that way, and sometimes a little gold.

Tarzan, the Ape Man (1959) dir. Joseph M. Newman. 7/10

I wouldn't recommend this movie to my friends. I wouldn't rewatch this movie.

Tarzan's hair is so styled here lol.

Tarzan is all smiles. No wonder she fell for him. I do like all the animals just doing their thing. Aw at the cub romping around. Underwater scenes are fun but the graphics are I guess graphics for back in the day. I love our chimp friend. I love the way the elephant rolled up from its side.

I don't love how it seems like white people are the right race here. It's like white man versus beast. and everything not a civilized white man is a beast here. I'm not loving the treatment of animals either (unless it's kind), like we came to their territory. omg dad noooo. Holt letting her go makes no sense. That final kiss made no sense.

The elephant crawling is something I've never thought about. But, not the elephant having to crawl to its grave.
