Yay, this week my tired old ass is still awake! 🙂
of the last time you pushed another human being out of body thing in the last cafe, I thought you were talking about how I have to shave every morning now!
Thank you. It’s been a long time since I did that sort of writing with any kind of regularity (since before I got sick) but I’m hoping to pick it up again as often as I can. I really enjoy it.
That makes the essay even more impressive (as well as your desire to look up SN’s skirt).
I was half-way in the middle of making a comment on the essay when firefox crashed — something it never does — which I decided was the cosmic muffin’s way of letting me know it wasn’t worth much.
The cosmic muffin is wrong. I get a lot of insight from your commentary no matter what you’re talking about. Which is just one of the many reasons why you’re my role model. 🙂
not sure if it’s enough to get me to go back and try to recreate it because it’s Friday night and the brain is in weekend shutdown mode but I might get inspired.
I think it a wonderful essay Indy. Although I will have to read it a couple of time to digest everything. Past two sentences my comprehension goes down. 🙂
I have a blog. It’s not something that I originally wanted to cross over with my political blogging/commenting, since it’s more of a journal-style/personal blog, but it’s the internet, you know, and it turns out that there’s no such thing as surreptitious. 🙂 It’s here, if you’d like to see it.
Very interesting, Indy. It makes me think that some year you should really try to make it to WisCon. Not only is it the only feminist SciFi convention, but it’s also about 70 percent female and probably 40 percent GLBT. You’re post is exactly the sort of thing that gets talked about in great detail by a whole host of people who are really interested in ideas. I think you’d really enjoy it. And, on the it’s-all-about-me front, I’d get a chance to meet you in person. On that note, if you are interested, make sure you come in a year I’m there. I try never to miss one, but I might be in Scotland in 08.
Thank you, Kelly, that’s so flattering. It sounds like a heavenly sort of thing to do, unfortunately, I don’t travel well since I became disabled. On the up side, I have access to new doctors here and hopefully will be able to get better treatment, so if my health allows, I would love to do something like that. And of course, meet you!
I’ll keep my fingers crossed for your new doctors then, not that I wouldn’t have just for your sake, and hope that you can make it some time. I’ve also bookmarked your blog and will make a point of stopping by from time to time.
Ha ha. You mean my little wool plaid schoolgirl skirt, with the white anklets and saddle shoes? That would be the last time I had something on that you could peek under.
Now, that’s just wrong. Of course I meant the grownup you. Heh, I was barely attracted to schoolgirls even when I was one; I’ve always liked a mature woman. And no, “mature” does not mean “old”, so stop it before you even start.

Hmm, none of my 15th-century Franco-Flemish composers showed up. Yes, I’m an early music nerd, don’t pretend to be surprised.
That’s what I was thinking, except I was letting myself tease out another point for knowing Vivaldi & Bach even though I don’t know The Monteverdi Choir or The English Consort.
I saw the Cranberries back in the spring of ’93, just as they hit the alt-rock scene here. The local (now-defunct) indie-rock station, WHFS, sponsored a free show with the Cranberries, at a tiny amphitheater here in the District on NPS land. It’s rated for 500 people. 5,000 showed up. Bedlam ensued, people were getting on stage, and someone stole Dolores O’Riordan’s guitar. They didn’t finish their second song and quit the stage. Don’t think they ever returned to DC. And HFS had the devil’s own time getting NPS permits from then on.
Well it was bedlam, as I said! I could barely see anything, and didn’t learn of the theft ’til later. And alcohol at the event and the passage of time since have dulled my memory. But Dolores had some pretty sharp words for the crowd just before they quit the stage. In retrospect, I’m a little surprised a riot didn’t break out. Or a stampede. Way, way too many people crammed into that little space.
My little Joshuaman loves the Cranberries. He’s like I am, just in general can’t get a good grasp of this whole music subculture stuff. He knows what he likes though. I had the Cranberries in the car among many other CD’s. I might change the car CD once every two weeks or something like that, well at least up until a few months ago. Now we have to Cranberry every where we go. Really starting to hate the Cranberries but my son just cracks me up. I look in the rearview and his head is gently nodding back and forth to the music. His favorite song is Free to Decide. We were giving one of his classmates a ride home from school and the guitar solo came on in the song, he turned to his little buddy and said, “This is the best guitar player in the world.”
Cool. I dig it when kid’s musical tastes start to mature a little. Tho I understand how repetition can get wearying! At least it’s not a Disney soundtrack or something. My nieces (6 & almost-8) are developing a taste for early early U2, e.g. Boy and October because that’s what their mom was into Back in the Day. They also parrot their mom in declaring how the frontman for that particular ensemble has attractive physical qualities. Geez, they could be on “The Things Kids Say.”
They’re awesome, one of my favorite ensembles. The Yule-tide recording of theirs I have is A Star in the East which is from medieval Hungarian sources. They have another of English carols, too, but I can’t recall its title.

And a bonus track that gets tacked on because . . . well, every week I timeshift a Doctor Demento style comedy show run by one of our local community radio stations. This was the last song played the previous DJ this week, and since I do a couple of minutes before and after the show to make sure I get everything, this happened to be on the MP3:
I always liked Dusty’s voice, especially on songs like Windows of the World and Windmills Of Your Mind. Hey, I was 13 or so when those songs were coming out. I was easily excitable. 🙂
As for the song, yeah, I only got around to listening to the show today and thought Give Peace A Chance was pretty serendipitous.
I saw them several years ago here in Seattle. It was at a club, and I don’t normally do clubs so I was kind of out of my element, but it was worth it to see them live. They put on a pretty good show.
All of which reminds me for no good reason, I need to get a copy of Gigantic, the documentary about TMBG that came out a few years ago.

I’m tearing down the internet super highway on Boomans diary hollering into the wind and tearing my clothes off and low and behold there is only a recommend choice for comments. No troll, no fuck you, just one big happy family button! Cabingirl and I were talking about Dr Phil the other day. She said that her favorite thing he says is when someone is going on about what is happening and what they are doing about it and he says, “So, how’s that working for you?” Trusted user……MoJo……it’s fucking swack! It’s dumb as shit! Nothing resembling democracy and everything everything resembling high school over there! Now it’s like Christian School…..we are all nice to each other over here and you will fucking like it because you have no choice but like it so there! Here on Booman we have all these choices on our buttons and mostly we just recommend or we don’t because we want to get to real solutions, FUCK BEING THE MOST BESTEST RIGHTEST IDIOT IN SILENCED IDIOTLAND! God give me strength!
LOL. Maybe, just within the confines of the Café, so no real harm is done, we should exercise our options and troll-rate each other. Or at least give some 2’s and 3’s.
I volunteer this comment as a place to start. Just leave my FRT alone!
I never really did that before. It like takes forever to decide if someone didn’t jangle your 4 bell if what they expressed needed a 2 or a 3. I just can’t get my mind or my fingers to work that way. Either I think that something could possibly work or is beneficial and serves the greater good or I don’t. Sometimes I come upon a gray area but usually someone eventually adds new facts and then I am able to decide what could serve the greater good.
My Goodness! The DailyKos website is back up again after undergoing a few changes to being able to rate comments. Unless someone is a trusted user they can only recommend a comment now. Trusted users will be able to troll rate but that is now limited to a certain number of times a day. I’m not sure if this will finally end the problems experienced on DailyKos concerning freedom of speech, expression, and the sharing of ideas but I guess we’ll see huh? Meanwhile the breeze is quite nice over here and the mental landscape is spectacular!
Yeah, I like it over here better. The slower pace seems to suit me.
Somewhere along the way I lost TU status over on Big Orange. I suppose I could hang around C&J to get it back, but somewhere along the way I figured out that I don’t really care all that much.
The dissention seems to happen in the comments. Some guy got on my case in an elections diary over there becuase I was pointing out that having an insecure application (Diebold) running on an insecure platform (Windows) was worse than having an insecure application running on the most secure platform there is, and he thought I was trying to geek up the joint.
There just comes a time in some of those threads where I say “You know what, it’s not worth my time or energy to argue with these people, no matter how right I think I am.” As the old saying goes, it’s like trying to teach a pig to sing. It just wastes your time and annoys the pig.
And oddly enough I recommended the guy later in another diary on a completely different subject. Go figure.

Lay Your Hands on Me by the Thompson Twins sounds like a fantasy of mine.
Oooh, saucy.
of the last time you pushed another human being out of body thing in the last cafe, I thought you were talking about how I have to shave every morning now!
I”m way past caring about shaving, but I get overly excited about new tweezers.
You have Garbage in your collection? I am in awe (as usual)!
Truth be told, I think that came out of Roomie’s CD collection — she is much hipper than me.
Than I, Indy. <Whooo hooo! doing the happy dance for getting the chance to correct the smart girl.>
Move to the front of the class, Second Nature. (And don’t mind me when I drop my pencil, I’m not trying to peek up your skirt. Really.)
when I read your very interesting essay but this really convinces me (so if I’m wrong you can just lie about it).
I am not feeling better, still running a temp and still have a sore throat, but neither am I feeling any worse, so YAY.
Thanks for saying my essay was interesting. As you know, I always get ridiculously neurotic about how my writing will be received.
I thought it was great.
The essay, not that you’e sick.
lol, yeah I got that.
Thank you. It’s been a long time since I did that sort of writing with any kind of regularity (since before I got sick) but I’m hoping to pick it up again as often as I can. I really enjoy it.
That makes the essay even more impressive (as well as your desire to look up SN’s skirt).

not sure if it’s enough to get me to go back and try to recreate it because it’s Friday night and the brain is in weekend shutdown mode but I might get inspired.
No, just that you notice the effort involved with the ass-kissing is enough.
Where would I find said essay? I checked the diaries list, but didn’t see anything. I’m always interested to see what you have to say.
Hi Kelly. Yea I was looking in the diaries and didn’t see anything.
You guys are so cool to be interested in something I wrote. See my reply to Kelly. 🙂
I think it a wonderful essay Indy. Although I will have to read it a couple of time to digest everything. Past two sentences my comprehension goes down. 🙂
Thank you.
Wow. An excellent and cogent piece. You should circulate it more widely. (wait, you just did.)
Thanks. I submitted it to the Carnival of Bent Attractions, too.
I have a blog. It’s not something that I originally wanted to cross over with my political blogging/commenting, since it’s more of a journal-style/personal blog, but it’s the internet, you know, and it turns out that there’s no such thing as surreptitious. 🙂 It’s here, if you’d like to see it.
oops, my sort of bad — but in a good cause since you deserve as wide a readership as possible.
Mmm-hmm.
You aren’t deserving?
You’re good for my backbone, Andi.
Very, very happy to be of service.
Very interesting, Indy. It makes me think that some year you should really try to make it to WisCon. Not only is it the only feminist SciFi convention, but it’s also about 70 percent female and probably 40 percent GLBT. You’re post is exactly the sort of thing that gets talked about in great detail by a whole host of people who are really interested in ideas. I think you’d really enjoy it. And, on the it’s-all-about-me front, I’d get a chance to meet you in person. On that note, if you are interested, make sure you come in a year I’m there.

Thank you, Kelly, that’s so flattering. It sounds like a heavenly sort of thing to do, unfortunately, I don’t travel well since I became disabled.

Now, that’s just wrong. Of course I meant the grownup you. Heh, I was barely attracted to schoolgirls even when I was one; I’ve always liked a mature woman. And no, “mature” does not mean “old”, so stop it before you even start.

She said that her favorite thing he says is when someone is going on about what is happening and what they are doing about it and he says, “So, how’s that working for you?” Trusted user……MoJo……it’s fucking swack! It’s dumb as shit! Nothing resembling democracy and everything everything resembling high school over there! Now it’s like Christian School…..we are all nice to each other over here and you will fucking like it because you have no choice but like it so there! Here on Booman we have all these choices on our buttons and mostly we just recommend or we don’t because we want to get to real solutions, FUCK BEING THE MOST BESTEST RIGHTEST IDIOT IN SILENCED IDIOTLAND! God give me strength!
LOL. Maybe, just within the confines of the Café, so no real harm is done, we should exercise our options and troll-rate each other. Or at least give some 2’s and 3’s.
I volunteer this comment as a place to start. Just leave my FRT alone!
lol, I 4’d your comment before I even read it. Sorry!
Ha, I gotcha beat, I 4 comments before they’re even made!
Now if I could just find some way to harness this endocronic energy and unscrew the 2000 election.
I could mega troll you if it makes you feel better. I don’t know what the hell it does, but it sounds ominous.
I never really did that before. It like takes forever to decide if someone didn’t jangle your 4 bell if what they expressed needed a 2 or a 3. I just can’t get my mind or my fingers to work that way. Either I think that something could possibly work or is beneficial and serves the greater good or I don’t. Sometimes I come upon a gray area but usually someone eventually adds new facts and then I am able to decide what could serve the greater good.
My Goodness! The DailyKos website is back up again after undergoing a few changes to being able to rate comments. Unless someone is a trusted user they can only recommend a comment now. Trusted users will be able to troll rate but that is now limited to a certain number of times a day. I’m not sure if this will finally end the problems experienced on DailyKos concerning freedom of speech, expression, and the sharing of ideas but I guess we’ll see huh? Meanwhile the breeze is quite nice over here and the mental landscape is spectacular!
Yeah, I like it over here better. The slower pace seems to suit me.
Somewhere along the way I lost TU status over on Big Orange. I suppose I could hang around C&J to get it back, but somewhere along the way I figured out that I don’t really care all that much.
Are you calling me a pollyanna? My goodness!
Tactful! Nonswearing! CIVILIZED
The dissention seems to happen in the comments. Some guy got on my case in an elections diary over there becuase I was pointing out that having an insecure application (Diebold) running on an insecure platform (Windows) was worse than having an insecure application running on the most secure platform there is, and he thought I was trying to geek up the joint.
There just comes a time in some of those threads where I say “You know what, it’s not worth my time or energy to argue with these people, no matter how right I think I am.” As the old saying goes, it’s like trying to teach a pig to sing. It just wastes your time and annoys the pig.
And oddly enough I recommended the guy later in another diary on a completely different subject. Go figure.
and damn it….expertise into the debate! It can all just be so cute on Kos sometimes.
They’re so cute, bless their pointy little heads. Er, hearts.
Time for a new lounge!
