out of sorts
I didn't do anything at all with the garden. Rainy skies and general malaise kept me indoors all weekend. I was lazy. I slept. I watched tv on the couch while huddled underneath a blanket. I wondered about might-have-beens that are usually best left unexamined.
I'm noticing numbness in my hands this weekend, similar to what's been in my feet for years. Left hand is more affected. I rub fingertips together and feel... pressure and tingling, I guess, but no texture at all except some in the pinky finger.
I downloaded the entire broadcast season for The Fantastic Journey (1977). It's never been released in any format (beta, vhs, cd, dvd), but some kind people have uploaded every single episode (in 10-minute parts) to YouTube. I downloaded them all from there and watched them at my pc. As with Ark II, I remember it mostly for the group's leader as another example of what I think is the ideal man.
The man named Varian showed up in the first episode in a way that was out of character for the rest of the series. The disguise immediately drew my interest, but the character still lived up to my standards later on.
Varian was supposed to appear as an Arawak Indian. Sure, it's a truly awful disguise (picture here, could the hair be any more fake?), but it showed the man sporting long hair and little clothing, which is how I'd prefer living my life too if I could stay in warm weather away from mosquitoes and people. Varian doesn't speak at all at this point in the show, and mute wins bonus points from me too.
Varian uses futuristic technology to heal the broken arm of a shipwrecked old man. Later, we learn that Varian is from the year 2230 (I think), a healer (in the mystic sense), and a pacifist (usually). Ideal man, someone trying to heal the world no matter what tough circumstances that life forces us all to confront. I think I could live in a world of people like that.
Might-have-beens again. Snap out of it.
