Today the only thing on my schedule was the bi-weekly writing group, so I stayed home in the morning listening to gospel music and watching Tweeter listen to it and chirp sometimes. He is especially curious when I sing or clap my hands and move to the music. I saw a video of a parrot who bobbed his head in time to music and even picked up his feet like he was dancing. I think a parakeet could do that too, but Tweeter hasn’t made such efforts yet. He also does not respond to me calling his voice yet either, even though I almost always call he name when I hear him tweet, or chirp. I shared the poem I wrote about him with the group today. They all liked it.
While I was at the Cultural Center, I saw on their sign that a dance video program was going to be a 6:00 PM, so after I got something to eat I decided to come back and stay for that. I did not know that the movie actually would not start until 7:00 PM or I may have changed my mind. At 6:00 they were having a reception. There was cheese and crackers, snack mix,cookies, grapes, apple cider and bottled water. I ate cheese and crackers and cookies and had the cider. That woke me up, because as I was sitting in the Publishers Gallery trying to read while I waited for the time to pass, I was beginning to fall asleep. The videos were interesting. I am glad there was a description of them in the programs because they were telling stories, but I would not have been able to understand the stories without the descriptions. They were rather strange with special camera effects and some were done to new age music. I say that what is being called dance today is more acrobatics and this was definately like that.
