  • Time Capsule

    I was watching“it’s always sunny in Philadelphia” & in this episode they dig up a time capsule, which they buried 10 years before.

    We are so lucky with how social media has evolved, photos are all over internet & now I guess there’s no need for physical photographs.

    It puts me in a strange situation; revisiting my past life through what is on my laptop basically, how others have perceived it. .

    That is rather shameful is having scenes from my past, but how others have seen it.

    There is a good thing about how technology has evolved; I don’t know how, but this blog is kind of my therapy. It makes me more focused on my going’s on.

    So I don’t know what I’d put in my time capsule, it’s very thought provoking though. There’re things that are difficult to think…

    I couldn’t put my phone in there, even though it is central to my life. You can’t charge things in the time capsule. Probably my coffee cup, to represent my love of coffee, maybe a face mask as a memento of this Covid-19 disaster & maybe my laptop, asleep. so it wouldn’t need charge & I could leave some notes for the future Leuty.

  • Asymmetry

    What I did recently is I lost one earring, which I really regret. But I am always like to embrace being difficult, so I chose to have some asymmetrical earrings. I’ve put a couple of pictures of each ear.

    I think they’re both from the same brand (or they both look aesthetically similar).

    The only problem is I know a lot about the acetylcholine one but nothing about the other one.
    Here’s is the other , a-symmetrical one on my left tar with my ugly keloid scar (which I am definitely going to do a post about cause they’re really interesting & basically no one knows about them)

  • Writing Down

    With this brain injury, I have learned to appreciate the documenting of everything. Actually taking the time to write things down gives you time to process what is happening & consider it more.

    It’s less the end product that you admire (which I used to be so focused on) but the process of writing it down & meditating it. Let it take the time to linger in your thoughts.

    Because I’ve taken the time to think things through, I have taken longer to do things. But looking back at, the longer time I took in doing these things,

    It’s a proverb (I think, if it’s no, it should be), but it’s so true. It’s not the destination that is important. It’s the journey.

  • Shoes

    My current passion project is designing a pair of shoes. But what I’m really interested in is more then just what they look like, it’s what they do. When it’s style vs substance I’ll always choose the latter.

    The shoes I’m planning on working on. These, however, are a piece of wearable technology, that teaches you how to walk. Because I’m in the process of learning how to walk, I would really benefit from this product. I can also expend what I have learned, in the process of learning to walk, so others can benefit from my hard work.

    I’m very lucky that I have a physio who comes in most weeks who teaches me exercises which will increase my stamina, make my balance better & work on the muscles I need when I’m walking.

    I guess now I need to work out when they’ll look like.

  • Saturn’s Return

    For those who don’t know, the planet Saturn rotates the sun around 29 years. For humans (as you I presume) your 29th year will be pretty monumental.

    So Saturn is in the same position as it was when you were born every around about 29years.

    Just an example, Vincent Vangough became a painter at age 30. Before he was a minister.

    It all sounds a bit astrological to me, I don’t have any faith, & astrology seems like it’s pairing up to humans weaknesses. However researching it more, some details (which must fit to everyone in one way or another) seems like it could fit to my life.

    Saturn’s return marks a change in your life, perhaps in career. I am currently jobless but do have a great idea which is basically (I highly expand) shoes that teach you how to walk.

    Saturn’s return brings with it this passing of time, & I feel very elderly. My birthday (which Odin September if anyone wanted to celebrate) & that is my 29 birthday, so my Saturn’s return year is that coming one.

  • Ray Harryhausen

    This is just a review of what I saw at the GMA today. It was a retrospective of Ray Harryhausen’s work, & he really changed the culture of the process of how films are made. It showed a run through of how he actually did his well. For you who don’t know who he was he made the process of start-stop animation (think how Wallis & Gromit are animated). He served in WW2 but then introduced stills of pop, so got teenagers more interest in film. You could try out how they did it, where they had a bunch of layers, a background & camera so the background looked like it had a monster on it, & you were appearing in front of it.

    Just for some context his work is probably best portrayed in “jason and the argonauts”

    I went with my 2 nieces, & I know that they had a lot of fun, but some activities seemed to be very child friendly. It really did make me more aware of his work & appreciate his work. So, I can’t recommend it more, see it now at Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art (also known as Modern T).

  • Social-Media

    So I’m interested in getting to know my followers & find it difficult to find out much about them on this platform. If you like my blog you might like me, so maybe find me on social media, my name is LeutyParker. & I’m pretty sure I’m the only “Leuty” on Facebook.

  • How to Walk

    My biggest ale at the moment is that I’m stuck in a wheelchair. I’m currently learning how to walk, which is very time consuming but it’s not like there is anything else to do. My project is I’m thinking right now is a pair of shoes that teaches you how to walk.

    What these shoes could do is have 2 things (maybe more): have a pedometer so it counts your steps (the FitBit is a good benefit benchmark of how there is I current trend on how many steps you take)

    & an NFC which linkes to an app on your phone, reading your progress & it teaches you all the exercises which could link with your phone through the use of NFC.

    This app could teach you all the exercises that will build your muscles in preparation for walking.

    Being in a situation where I’m in the process of learning to walk, & i come from a wearable technology background, this seems like just what I need.

  • Parra!

    Or otherwise known as Piet Parra was another collaboration I just remember.

    The fact that the fabric with Piet Parra’s prints where signed off with a simple “Parra!”

    I really like his work now & think I probably did before I lost my memory, so because I want to share the joy, I’ll share his work with you here, & hope you like it as much as I do.

    The more I research his work, the more it seems familiar. How annoying.

  • Where are my shoes?

    So I can remember that I had some brilliant shoes in my past life , but I can’t find them. They’re there ones;

    & James Bonds curious case of “where are my shoes?” sounds like sounds something Carry Bradshaw would be interested in.
