Stars Struck

“Cheer up, love. All right, so you tripped during the audition. Listen, starring in a nature documentary isn’t all its cracked up to be. You have to go to premieres and luncheons and pretend to be happy and people stick cameras in your faces. We’re better off, really.”

    I feel pretty much like these penguins right now, the Government has just announced a new lockdown, no more gym, theatre or visiting friends and family. Restaurants have to completely close their dining room starting tomorrow at 5 pm and there’s a curfew from 10 pm to 5 am starting tomorrow New Year’s Eve with a $1000 fine for anyone caught outside between those hours.

      Oh my!! I’m so sorry to hear that. What a way to start the new year. Where do you live, Georgiana?

        How wonderful you live in a country where they actually care about keeping you safe… trade with you?

      Sorry, Georgiana. It seems as though governments can’t find the middle ground between total lockdown and total denial. Unfortunately, the denial places will still affect the lockdown places.

    I agree…I’d rather just watch the movie from my couch.

    The pair will probably happier not being on camera. I wonder why they really aren’t with the rest of the colony ( if that’s what you call a large group of penguins)?

    I tried to find the fabulous “translated” of the penguins going over the rope and I found a companion video too:

    Folks, my fellow Coloradans could use your good wishes. There’s a big fire raging and it’s already displaced people in two towns. It’s a few miles away from work, so I’m extra worried.

      My husband was just telling me about that. Was wondering if it was near you. Sending good wishes to you and all who are affected.

      Fingers crossed it stays away..

    • Georgiana December 30, 2021 / 11:22 pm

      I hope you’re safe and that the fire doesn’t get worse.

    • Dubravkamcvmd December 31, 2021 / 7:27 am

      I cannot believe these videos!

        OMG put this comment in the wrong place! Here I meant to say I hope you’re safe from this disaster

    Awwww! It’s so sweet how they are standing!♥️

  7. Carlotta December 31, 2021 / 1:18 pm

    Stay safe Deb!
    As for penguins, watching those two hesitating at a little water and thinking of all those videos of penguins hurtling themselves off rocks into pounding, icy surf. The mind boggles!

    Oops, wrong penguin post!
