“What Happened to Monday”, a movie on Netflix.

You can see “What Happened to Monday” on Netflix.

Wow.

Plot from Wikipedia
Around the year 2043, overpopulation causes a worldwide crisis, resulting in a strict one-child policy enforced by the Child Allocation Bureau. When multiple children are born to one mother, all but the eldest are put into cryosleep. Karen Settman dies when she gives birth to identical septuplet sisters. Their grandfather Terrence names them after the days of the week and trains them to pose as a single individual named after their mother, and to leave the house only on the day of their name. To safeguard their secret, Terrence ensures they share information on a daily basis and replicates any accident that affects one of the sisters’ physical appearance. The sisters develop a system of wigs and makeup to cover any identifying features.

I’m honestly not sure which sibling was my favorite, but
Noomi Rapace did an amazing job in making each sister distinct.

It was a good movie. Solid acting, sci-fi with plenty of drama, and a lot of Noomi Rapace being an amazing action star. Seriously, wow.

Camp was dry and dusty, but the people were nice.

I was absolutely terrified of the port-a-potty, though I saw little tiny children going in and out. No problem.

We lived on cheese burgers, bagged chips, Nature Bars, beignets, grilled cheese sandwiches, and snow cones.

The first day we were there was a hellish blast storm that was shaking everyone’s tents. Dust swirled thick until you could barely see in front of you. We stayed in our tent all night while music blasted at us from the stage.

The second day was better. That’s when we discovered the Louisiana food truck and the Chi-Thai Fusion stand.

I’d never heard of a beignet before, but I was looking up a recipe earlier. I’m just saying–the food was good.

And the solar eclipse…

It was beautiful.

The sun began to be covered by the moon, and transformed from a Sailor Moon moon symbol to a burning crescent. And gradually that crescent was chipped away from the top down until the glasses went dark.

And when I took off the glasses and looked up, it was a black circle surrounded by what looked like silver-white flames.

It was absolutely amazing.

So… I messed up my Amazon pre-order and there’s nothing I can do to fix things right now. The book has to be released, then I can upload the real file. Otherwise it’s locked to me.

Anyways, if you’ve pre-ordered Paradigm Shift, I will be updating the file as soon as I can on the 14th. Please disregard what’s there. Most of that stuff’s defunct.

book cover: Paradigm Shift, by Harper Kingsley

As an apology for the confusion, I’ll use this time to add a few extras to my manuscript file.
