Flumping

Here's a sneak peek at our new set, just a portion where the emotions sit at the control desk on stage.  It's going to start this weekend, our new series, and we spent a bit of time today doing the standard set up and preparations, like shooting videos and creating printed materials.  We start with the emotion Anger, and we were delighted to find a few Anger shorts on the Blu-Ray, which we later found on the internet elsewhere to borrow for service.  These will help illustrate the overall concept of controlling your anger a bit, especially when coupled with the trailer clips we're using from the movie, "Angry Birds."

Here was another bit of our "research:"

We were playing "Inside Out" with Disney Infinity 3.0, and having a good time with this version.  Sadness is a lot of fun to play, sort of flumping about.  I just made that word, because that's what she does to attack other people.  She just sort of flumps, that is to say, she falls forward on them, hitting the ground with a face plant.

Which, by the way, is something Madison is embracing again.  The official face plant on the couch is a favorite maneuver of hers, one she loves to demonstrate for us frequently - for no reason whatsoever.  She's very good at it.

Meanwhile, there was a trip to Goodwill for costuming.  We went there in search of various items for some of our characters this Sunday, and had a little bit of success there.  We also had a little bit of success finding a few other odds and ends too, of course.  That is the way of these thrift stores, going in for one item, and coming out with others as well.

Tonight's feature:  "The Empire Strikes Back."  Just how incredible is this movie!  How many times have we seen it?  Madison just adored it, laughing out loud at parts, and completely sucked in to the story and the adventure.  Seriously, this is a great movie.  With all the "Star Wars" stuff in the air, it's fun to go back and see the original trilogy, and watch Madison enjoy it so much that it's like Christmas morning!
