So, occasionally when I still get comments and 'associated video' links on my Carmen costume on Youtube, I like to check up on my stats, just to get an idea of who might still be viewing it. Apparently, the video was featured in May? Who knew?! I sure didn't until today!

The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald

  • Nov. 10th, 2009 at 8:33 PM


Tonight marks the anniversary of the sinking of the S.S. Edmund Fitzgerald on the Great Lakes in 1975. Those of you who know me well know a bizarre running joke of mine--asking the odd street musician, doo-wop ensemble or barbershop quartet (and once a group of Mariachis) to perform the Gordon Lightfoot song detailing the particulars of this famous shipwreck.

"The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down
Of the big lake they call Gitche Gumee
Superior, they say, never gives up her dead
When the gales of November come early."

Amazingly enough, it was two years ago on the way to Kinky Kollege 2007 that I heard a busking musician sing and play the entire song in the concourse of O'Hare Airport. No, it was NOT a request. After he was done I tipped him $5 and he suggested that from now on I ask for the "City of New Orleans" by Arlo Guthrie.

So let's take a moment of silence and ring the bell 29 times, for tonight, the Witch of November came early and 29 good men were drowned on the Edmund Fitzgerald.

FANVIDS
Victims of Love, a Doctor/Master/Human!Master video

Contact us via the comments or at whodaily@gmail.com
Obviously, in a population of millions, there must be some young people who match the "feral animal" stereotype. But the danger of that stereotype is that, when you see someone who looks and sounds like a "chav", you immediately connect them to theft, violence, breeding like rabbits, etc - when in fact you almost certainly know nothing about them at all.

Previously I pointed out that statistics don't match the idea that British mothers on welfare are popping out more kids. I'm still trying to find specific information on the victims of crime committed by young people (basically, who robs whom?) But what I have managed to find so far doesn't lend much support to an image of kids "preying" on the rest of society. Britons are more likely to be the victims of violent crime if they are young, single, unemployed, live in a deprived area, and/or live in "social-rented accommodation" (council flats, etc).

Just as a side note, one of the odder comments made about "chavs" in the GB thread was the half-joking suggestion that they'd vote for the BNP because they were "first on the ballot". May as well set this one straight too. BNP supporters are more working than middle class, but by income aren't much worse off than the average Briton - and three quarters of them are older than 34. Which said, since voting isn't compulsory in the UK, you might imagine lazy, ignorant voters of any stripe wouldn't get as far as the actual ballot anyway.

For Your Reading Pleasure...

  • Nov. 10th, 2009 at 5:21 PM
Okay, it's official, I'm launching DARON'S GUITAR CHRONICLES.

It's a serialized novel that never would have worked as a traditional print novel because it was too long.

It's a coming of age story, a coming out story, and a period piece about the 1980s.

It's sex, drugs, and rock and roll from the point of view of a neurotic 19-year-old closet case.

Daron: Hey! Watch it with the name-calling!
Me: What? Did I lie?
Daron: Well, no. But I'm not neurotic.
Me: Says who?
Daron: And I'm not in the closet, because I'm not gay.
Me: You just "like guys."
Daron: Yeah.
Me: Uh-huh.
Daron: Don't give me that look. You know it's more complicated than that.
Me: If you say so.
Daron: Hey readers, don't listen to her. Go see for yourself. You'll totally agree with me once you see what's going on.


The first few posts are up for your reading pleasure at: DARON'S GUITAR CHRONICLES.

New content will be appearing every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, starting on Monday the 16th. Please spread the word! Follow Daron on Twitter to get a little reminder each time a new post appears (@daron_moondog). Meanwhile go read what's there to get you started! Comments welcome!

they fuck you up...

  • Nov. 10th, 2009 at 4:06 PM
i saw this poem posted in childfree hardcore today, and it put a knowing smile on my face.

This Be the Verse
BY PHILIP LARKIN

They fuck you up, your mum and dad.
They may not mean to, but they do.
They fill you with the faults they had
And add some extra, just for you.

But they were fucked up in their turn
By fools in old-style hats and coats,
Who half the time were soppy-stern
And half at one another’s throats.

Man hands on misery to man.
It deepens like a coastal shelf.
Get out as early as you can,
And don’t have any kids yourself.


i, for one, know i won't be passing my misery or screwed-up-ness to any kids.

New chapter! Yay!

Goddammit so much.

Every time I like a Republican, it turns out Republicans don't like them.

It seems to me she pulled a *really* smart move by supporting the health care bill - she recognized that Democrats will do pretty much anything to call this a "bipartisan bill," and that since NO OTHER REPUBLICAN was willing to concede anything at all,* she took advantage of the situation to get concessions of her own choosing. That's savvy to me. That's someone I'd want on my side. But first I guess I'd have to get used to the idea of "compromise." As long as you're not willing to do that, I guess it makes more sense to stand and shout.


*tell me if I'm lying

clearing up a few issues

  • Nov. 10th, 2009 at 2:15 PM
1. 4 or 5 out of 6ers are welcome here and have always been. *However*, this is a bi-centric comm, and a kink-centric comm, and a gamer-centric comm, and so on. Entries are generally expected to be about at least 1 of the 6 interests, and you do not get to tell bi people "chill out" when they protest their lack of inclusion. You're expected to be an ally.

2. This community has always strongly valued civil discourse. Criticism may happen, especially of someone's ideas rather than their selves, but ad hominems and responses like "fuck you!" are not tolerated. I try to give a warning first, but repeated offenses are not tolerated.

3. [info]melssexysecret was warned and continued to behave badly, so zie was banned. After zie sent a private message consisting of nothing but 300 "Fuck you!"s to my inbox, zir sockpuppet was also banned. Please remember this is only the second user who has been banned in the history of the comm. Don't be afraid that I'm on a power-tripping rampage. I have no desire to micromanage this community and rarely even have to comment wearing my mod hat. I have no intention of banning a ton of people.

For pro-marriage folks in New York . . .

  • Nov. 10th, 2009 at 1:36 PM

Gov. Paterson is trying really hard to get the State Senate to pass a same-sex marriage bill duringt he ession that started today.

I live in Sen. Betty Little's district (the Northway, basically), and I am in favor of same-sex marriage in new York.

I think it's important for our citizens, and I think it's important to take the momentum away from the decision in Maine.

Our senator, Betty Little, who is generally and good and supportive senator, has oppsed same-sex marriage in the past, and I have express my concern about that.

 I called her office at (518) 455-2811 and talked to Kathy, who said the senator does not think the state should redefine marriage.

She also said they are keeping track of the number of calls they receive expressing an opinion.

Honestly, if you have a strong opinion on this, I urge that you call either way.

In case you are not up here, this site will tell you how your senator stands on the issue -- http://tools.advomatic.com/24/nyequality/totals

Even if your senator has declared opposition to same-sex marriage, please contact him/her so our voices can be heard.

Update: Fom the Albany Times-Union's "Capitol Confidential" blog a little while ago:

As for legislation legalizing gay marriage, the Senate Democrats engaged in heated discussion during conference earlier — a conference meeting that did not include Sen. Tom Duane, the lead Senate sponsor of the bill. But so far, there’s been no indication that it will be brought on the floor today.

Where the weekend went

  • Nov. 10th, 2009 at 10:44 AM
I was thinking about spending the weekend in DC going to birthday parties, but [info]petrona used her feminine wiles to lure me up to NJ. OK, those wiles mostly involved talking about going out for Jamaican in NYC. She knows what I like.

Anyhow, Saturday was one of those busy days. [info]petrona and I travelled from the opening of a newly opened record store (real records, made out of vinyl and everything!) opened by a friend of hers (they'd never met in realspace before. There was squeeing,) into NYC for jerked pork and oxtail, to a coffehouse out in the wilds of New Jersey, to a theater to see Grapes of Wrath, and then back to [info]petrona's where the coffee still circulating in her veins meant we watched the remake of Taking of Pelham 123. (Joe-Badmagic says it's OK, but if you have a choice, watch the original instead.)

[info]petrona pointed out how Grapes of Wrath had a body count like a slasher movie. They begin their trip to California with a truckload of Joads, but in each scene, another character disappears. Any one of these characters would have gladly swapped their place in the storyline to appear in Nightmare on Elm Street. Freddy Krueger you can fight. Environmental and economic collapse doesn't give you anyone to hit. To fight against overworking the land, you need to start before all your topsoil blows away. And if you're on the bottom of the social ladder, the way to fight a bad economy is by forming a union, which is less exciting and more dangerous than fighting dream monsters. The latter may kill you, but they won't lock you up for agitation while your wife and children starve.

Sunday, I spent the morning playing with [info]petrona's son. We took my car out for an oil change, and then went for a long walk in the woods to see the fall colors. Back at her place, we shared wine and chicken piccata before I drove back to DC and Dance Night.

Where did your weekend go?

Due to mitigating circumstances (hello not!swine flu!) we are extending the deadline for accepting newsletter editor applications until Monday, Nov. 16. We also wanted to take the opportunity to give a short primer on how we create the newsletter in case there are individuals who are interested in applying but are hesitant because they don't know the process.

As an editor, your job is to scan the newsletter watchlist - [info]whodaily- for items that qualify for inclusion in the newsletter. The watchlist is a dummy LJ that has friends list comprised of individuals and communities who participate in fandom. Each link is then dropped into its appropriate category on the newsletter. There are several ways in which to actually construct the newsletter and each editor has their own preference. Some brave souls hand-code and create an lj post, others use a template and client approach, typically a saved Semagic file. In addition, there is an Excel spreadsheet created by a former editor with macros built in so you can merely copy and paste and let Excel generate the format.

What items you link are based on criteria set forth in the editor guidelines. We are an inclusive newsletter and link fic, discussion, art, icons, etc. Our criteria for linking are broad and only call in "editorial prerogative" in rare cases, typically when a fic header does not contain enough information to create a link or if an post is not substantive. For example - an episode reaction consisting simply of "I loved it!" would probably not get linked while an episode reaction with more substance would.

As an editor you will become a member of the editorial community [info]satellite_five where we come together to discuss issues and concerns and, on occasion, effect policy. All editors, regardless of status, have full participation rights at the community.

If you have any questions about the process, please feel free to leave a comment or email me at scarlettagain@gmail.com. If you would like to apply for an editor position, leave a comment at this post.

Thank you!

Asylum

  • Nov. 10th, 2009 at 2:44 AM
I'm planning on going to Asylum in NW tomorrow night for dinner. I've never been therefore, and I need to know approximately how loud the volume is there. I have hypersensitive hearing, and since there's live entertainment, I'm a little worried. If you've been there, could you rate the volume on a weekday evening at around 6pm? On a scale of 1-10 (1 is silence, 10 is rock concert). Or any other experiences you've had there relating to noise. Will I need to wear earplugs? =/ Thank you!!!

"RT" from Pam's Facebook status

  • Nov. 9th, 2009 at 11:12 PM
Pam Ochs
Baby girl sayings: Words: Hello ("Hah-lahhhhhh"), All Done, Mama, Dadda, Uh-Oh ("Ah-Ahhhhhhhh") Signs: More, Cookie, Water, Banana, All Done Other Gestures: Give Kisses ("Muh!"), Blow kisses, Two-handed beckon, Pick-Me-Up Other Sounds: "Prrrrrrrrr" (kitty), "Urf, Urf" (doggies), "Shhhhhh" (with finger on lips, be quiet) "Ffffffff" (cooling food)


Dad's addenda: we're working on "Eat" [fingers to lips], she has some sort of word for her Brother but we haven't figured out how to reproduce it, she is close to picking up banana, and I think she made the sign for mother [palm open, fingers spread, thumb to chin twice] tonight.

N really seems to like signing and being understood--I had no idea how empowering ASL could be for hearing kids, but apparently it does a lot for them while also accelerating spoken language [because they've already started communicating with gestural language even before their vocal development catches up to form the spoken words].  So, we're learning sign language, a bit at time.

I'm terribly frustrated because everyone in my family can make the kitty "purrr" sound with their tongues...I can only blow raspberries, which just isn't the same.  [Yes, I cannot roll an "R!"  If anyone can teach me, great--Pam has tried to no avail].

Hello,

I apologize if this is not allowed here.

I have published a couple of books and my current one is going to be potentially called "Coming Out" or "Knocking the Closet Door Down". It is going to be made up of various people's coming out stories. Whether gay, lesbian, trans, poly, kinky or even funny ones like Republican (kidding!)

So I need stories. If you are interested in being in the book please email me your story to shampoo150@gmail.com and out "coming out story"

also let me know here if you're interested so I can look for you email.

thanks!

My answers were the werewolf episode and the new earth episode (with Cassandra)... apparently my answers weren't good enough so I pose the question to all of you.

Have fun :)

Shopping and Dropping--CostCo

  • Nov. 9th, 2009 at 3:41 PM
What is it...about the caffeine and meatball-fuelled one-two shopping combination of Ikea then Costco that makes it even more exhausting than flying to Europe? I mean, Ikea is not so bad if you actually know what you are buying before you walk in and know the downstairs shortcuts to get you out of the store in five minutes. But even then the process of the registers is exhausting.

In Costco the shopping experience is mostly punctuated by truly bad driving, bad in the parking lot and even worse in the store where people try to take your fingers off with their goddamned shopping carts. But the DROP happens almost when you are out of the store! It's worse than the top-drop I used to get at the club!

I find that the Costco Drop hits me right when we get to the registers with the hundreds of dollars of bulk food in your mega-cart, having threaded the needle through aggressive Brooklynites who use their carts to cut you off like they're driving SUV's....and you just ppfffffft run out of gas. At that point the hard part is getting ll your crap into the trunk of you car (I bring some giant canvas shopping bags) and humping all of it across the street, into your apartment and then into the proper cabinets and cramped fridge space. And now I'm just bloody exhausted...

But I write real purdy don't I?
