#haikuhive #haikuaday

Had an attack of vertigo today, so I've been lying low. Lowly lying? Lying about being low? Feeling better now. To all who suffer from this, I feel your pain! 🩵

dabbe @CBee @ShelleyBooksie @JenlovesJT47 @LiseWorks @Amiable @AlaMich @AnnCrystal @Susanita Thanks for all the thoughts and for the link, @TheBookHippie. This is just another thing that one lives with. I still forget sometimes to rise slowly because that's usually what triggers it--rising too quickly. I'm doing better this evening. You Littens rock my world. 🩵☃️🩶 4w

Amiable @dabbe Do you have low blood pressure? That can trigger dizziness if you get up too quickly. 4w

JenlovesJT47 What @Amiable said! I have orthostatic hypotension and sometimes get so dizzy when I stand up and I‘ve occasionally passed out. Worth looking into to see if you have low blood pressure ♥️ 4w

Ruthiella Hope you feel better soon. ❤️ 4w

willaful My daughter started having this problem - her doctor recommended more hydration.

Bookwomble @dabbe Could you please remove me from the haiku tag list. This is nothing to do with yours or anybody else's poems, just me managing information load 😊 4w

dabbe @Amiable @JenlovesJT47 I actually tend to have higher blood pressure. I take medication, so that might cause it to dip too low. I'll check with my doc. Thanks, lovelies. 🩵☃️🩶 4w

dabbe @Ruthiella TY. I feel much better today. 🩵☃️🩶 4w

Brian | Jeremy Cooper

pick

The story of an Irish man living on his own in London whose life takes on new purpose when he discovers a passion for cinema by visiting the compulsively the BFI where me meets similar obsessives. Brian is a character whose life seems inconsequential, but to the reader, the depiction of his thoughts + feelings are compelling + span nearly 40 yrs. Even as a lover of cinema, the film references sometimes overwhelmed me, but I still loved this book.

Vertigo: The Making of a Hitchcock Classic | Dan Auiler

#haikuaday
#haikuhive

Had a major vertigo episode this morning, which prompted me to think of this movie.

Dizziness grips him––
fear and longing twist his heart ...
past the ledge, she falls.

JenlovesJT47 Such a great freaking movie!! Love Jimmy Stewart. Hope you‘re feeling better! ♥️♥️♥️ 5mo

lil1inblue Ooooh! 🤩 This is excellent! Love the mood it evokes. P.S. Hope the vertigo episode has cleared. Those are no fun! 5mo

dabbe @JenlovesJT47 TY! I'm almost normal again. 🥴😅😊 5mo

dabbe @lil1inblue No, they aren't. Reminds me of a college bender ... or two. TY! 🥴😅😊 5mo

TheBookHippie Blech I hate those. 🫣😵‍💫 5mo

Mollyanna Oh no! Hope you are feeling better. Great movie 🎥 Kim Novak was phenomenal in it. 5mo

Butterfinger On one hand, I hate that you had a spell. On the other hand, shout-out to Jimmy Stewart. Funny story @JenlovesJT47 I couldn't think of a password this morning, got really frustrated, and someone yelled out, "It has to deal with Jimmy Stewart." Even Butterfinger, my username. His favorite candy bar. 5mo

JenlovesJT47 @Butterfinger oh that‘s awesome!! I‘ve been a huge Old Hollywood fan since I was 18 and he‘s always been one of my favorites. It‘s A Wonderful Life is my favorite Christmas movie by far. I haven‘t actually watched Vertigo in years but Denise has inspired me! Have you read his book of poetry? It‘s so sweet and so Jimmy lol.

Jimmy Stewart and His Poems

CBee We all know you just had too many beverages for your birthday yesterday, Denise 😂😂😂 @dabbe (all joking aside, vertigo can kiss my grits) 5mo

Susanita I hope you‘re feeling better. 5mo

Mimi28 Happy belated birthday!! I hope you feel better soon!! I will be sending you something in a week or so I promise. If you want to write me first that would be awesome 😎 without the list I have to find all my letters. Please don‘t be mad or upset with me 🥲 5mo

Butterfinger Oh yes. It was a Christmas present one year. @JenlovesJT47 5mo

JenlovesJT47 @Butterfinger of course! Sounds like my slight obsession with William Holden and Cary Grant 😍🤓😬 5mo

Amiable Ugh! I feel your pain. Literally. I‘ve had vertigo episodes so severe I ended up in the ER. I will go to great lengths to avoid triggering an episode. Hope you are on solid ground ASAP! 5mo

AnnCrystal 🙏🏼🐝 Hope you're all better now 🙏🏼💝. 5mo

MemoirsForMe Great haiku and movie! Hope you‘re feeling better ❤️ 5mo

dabbe @Mimi28 TY! I just emailed you the last list I had. 🩵💙🩵 5mo

dabbe @TheBookHippie Vertigo or college benders? 😂 5mo

dabbe @Mollyanna TY; I am. She was phenomenal, wasn't she? 😍 5mo

dabbe @Butterfinger I had no idea that's why you had your handle! How cool is that? I adore Jimmy Stewart. And @JenlovesJT47, I saw him live on the Johnny Carson show reciting some of his poems from that very book! I must have been 7-8 years old! My favorite movie of his is ANOTHER THIN MAN; he was so good in that one! 😍 5mo

dabbe @CBee Who, me? 😌 Yeah, vertigo totally sucks. I'm doing better now, though. 😍 5mo

dabbe @Susanita TY; I am. 😍 5mo

dabbe @Amiable OMG, I can't imagine. I think we talked about this once before. It totally sucks. I just forget sometimes to move slowly. I whipped my head down to scruff it up with some hair goo, and boy, did I pay for that! I'm doing better now, though. 😍 5mo

dabbe @AnnCrystal TY; I'm doing better. 😍 5mo

dabbe @MemoirsForMe TY; I am. 😍 5mo

JenlovesJT47 Ooh yes I love the Thin Man movies! Nick & Nora are the best! And it was great seeing Jimmy go against type in that one. He‘s such an adorable yet sexy boy next door in his younger years. If you haven‘t seen it you have to watch The Shop Around The Corner around Christmastime. Such a great movie! ♥️ 5mo

Cuilin Oh vertigo sucks!! Both my parents and myself have it. Hope today is a better day. 5mo

TheBookHippie @dabbe vertigo… I loathe it. I didn‘t drink alcohol until my later grownup years. 5mo

julieclair I‘m amazed that, while suffering vertigo, you were still able to haiku about it. How??? Glad you‘re feeling more stable now. 💙 5mo

dabbe @JenlovesJT47 LOVE that one! Way better than YOU'VE GOT MAIL IMHO. That and IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE = #jimmyfortheholidays 🎄 5mo

dabbe @Cuilin TY; I am doing better today. Have to remind myself to move head slowly! 😍 5mo

dabbe @TheBookHippie Boy, wish I could say the same. My college years were quite something. 🥴 5mo

dabbe @julieclair Oh, I wrote the haiku hours later, after the vertigo had settled down. 💙 5mo

TheBookHippie @dabbe helps to be poor & on your own & working three jobs and protesting & funerals 😭 I was at the clubs -I was just generally the driver 🤣🤷🏻‍♀️ let‘s be real I‘m stubborn and I‘ll be damned if anything controls me. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫 5mo

dabbe @TheBookHippie I could have used your resolve back then. 😂 I didn't have much $$ either. That's why we usually went to a place called Dirtbags (still in business) where you could get 50-cent kamikaze shots. Need I say more? 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫 5mo

JenlovesJT47 Yes I agree!! IAWL is my favorite Christmas movie! You must track down the colorized version, it is so well done. ♥️ 5mo

dabbe @JenlovesJT47 Will do! 💙 5mo

Mimi28 Thanks!! Glad you are feeling better 🩷I am sending you something Tuesday 😊🫶🏽🩷😎 5mo

dabbe @Mimi28 😘😍😘 5mo

A Pictorial History of Horror Movies | Denis Gifford

I check the charity book table at my local shop more in hope than expectation of finding anything I'd be interested in amongst the old cook books, mountains of Jeremy Clarkson drivel and biographies of disgraced celebrities, but today I was rewarded for my perseverance with these two schlocky '70s tomes! 🖤🧌💚💀❤️🧛🏻‍♀️💚🧟‍♀️🖤 😱😁

LeahBergen Cool! 7mo

The_Book_Ninja Still got my Gifford 🙂 7mo

Bookwomble @LeahBergen Cool, but not as cool as @The_Book_Ninja who has his copy from back in the day! 😎 7mo
