Thank (G)o(od)ness, It's Friday TV!

For those who know me well, I love music, show tunes, musicals, commercial jingles, and especially, theme songs. And nothing tickles me more than a good theme song and/or theme music...

Back in the very late 80s to 90s, there was a programming started on Friday evenings called TGIF, or, Thank God/Goodness It's Friday. These shows were family-friendly sitcoms in a variety of genres and circumstances. 

But what made these TV shows stand out were their opening jingles/themes. It doesn't matter what part of the house one was in, if your TV was up high or could be heard, and one of those opening themes came on, you knew exactly which show was coming on!

Another day in self-quarantine

Been watching 90s TV shows, reading web comics, and the occasional writing. Also, working on different terms for sexual orientation and identities among four aliens species (human included) in the 49th century.

I've always been drawn to animal stories both in animation as well as in books. When I began to read mythology and saw what a huge role animals would play, and how complex their beings could be, impressed me to ancient peoples' wisdom in making the animal world as much a art of the human world (than how separate we are now). 

But when I picked up a book on Aesop's fables, that's when something 'clicked'. To use animals to bring to light humanity while revealing the innermost of that beast or creature is how I want to tell my stories.
