stevopants	6:05a	More and more and more and more and more I find that my friends are moving lately. Joey went to Vermont. Again. JBack moved from the Avon house to a cozy little home that is probably haunted, and the whitest house I have ever seen. Drew was transfered to Ann Arbor, and is working with Ypsi friends. Jono fled the Pleasure Dome under cover of night, while Brian was accidentally exiled later that month, and Erik still has Jessica's Prince poster I think. Katie is going to Idaho for a brand new job. Helena is moving somewhere since her roommate left her high and dry. Victoria is getting a new house or already has (I get all this news third hand), while my other ex, Ivy, split to the California coast. Ms. Abbott went from Detroit to LA back to Detroit. My Grandmother went from Sterling Heights to Charlevoix back to Sterling Heights in less than 6 months. A-Williams might still be homeless, but is staying with people. Monica is in Puerto Rico for another couple of months. Paul went North to Alaska. The Amazing Dr. Dixon & his ever-growing brood are looking for new places for... their ever-growing brood. Kristi is off to Iowa soon. This is all in the last 3, maybe 4 months. I've been thinking about it a lot too. I started thinking about it back when I was on the road for festival. I lived out of my car for a good couple months and realized there was nothing really keeping me in Grand Blanc anymore. What does ANYBODY have to do in Grand Blanc? What's there for me in the greater Flint area? The jobs are all long gone except for those lucky management so-and-sos who are stuck in ruts comfortable enough, and profitable enough to double as graves. The worst thing is it's made me complacent, boring and stagnant. Ever since I got back from the road I've had a greater understanding of what it's going to take for me "to become who (I'm) destined to be". The longer I stay here, the more of a dead-eyed suburbanite I become. In the last few weeks, the greatest thrill I had was accidentally driving to Rochester after staying up for around 24 hours, not knowing where planned events were taking place until they'd already started, selling some records while in the area, stopping by rehearsal for something I didn't need to, getting Ice cream with teenage girls, then going to one of the filthiest beaches I've ever been to in my life. Granted, the company was marvelous, as always, but... What the fuck is wrong with me that I would continue to stay here?! All it's done is fuck with what makes me the charming Jet-setter you all remember me being. Goddamn. Somebody should have told me. Fortunately, it is not too late. Plans are in the works. A slight change of scenery is in order, and I've already started preparing. Don't believe me? Fine. *ahem* To help ease the stress of my upcoming move, I will be selling/giving away a majority of my comic books. All my DC, about 1/2 of my Marvel, and all but my hardcover collections. It's an expensive hobby, and it's proven to have gotten the better of me. In 100% honesty, I have not bought a single comic in well over 2 weeks. I have also been selling a great many of my records. Most of the ones sold belonged to my parents, who's musical tastes are questionable to say the least. Unfortunately, I have been told by many of the record dealers that most of these records that they "couldn't GIVE them away", so that's what I'll be doing. Let some other kid sort through them at Salvation Army for all I care, I'm keeping the gems. I want to go to Ypsi, but at the same time, I want to go somewhere further after that. London has been sending subliminal messages again. So has New Orleans. So has Florida. Texas, too. Those are long term, but for now I'm going to be selling, packing, sorting and thinking about the road to nowhere. I'm real gone, baby, real gone. (Comment on this)
lostphrack	12:07a	Epitafios II WOW! After years of being in limbo the second season of Epitafios is done and on its way to the US! It'll be premiering on HBO in Sept, and right now HBO 2 is running a rerun of the first season Saturdays at 11 PM. I am pretty damn excited about this as I loved the first season. Little background on the series.. Epitafios was basically the first HBO Latino program to air on the English language HBO channels back around 05/06. It was a co-production between HBO and an Argentinian company known as Pol-Ka. The first series did well enough for a second to get the green light buuuut.. it never happened. Rumor has it that there was some kind of falling out between HBO and Pol-Ka. And now.. it's happening! Huzzah! The story focused on a retired police officer, Renzo Márquez, being forced out of retirement by a bizarre series of killings with ties to a past case. It's got a pulpy, vaguely Seven-ish vibe to it. The killings are elaborate and symbolic, the killer uber smart and fixated on Renzo for reasons that become clear as the series progresses. Things get even more complicated once Renzo's teamed up with another officer, Marina Segal, who has a dark and murky past of her own. Aside from a few moments of plot inspired stupidity I found it to be a very entertaining and enjoyable watch. Definitely worth a look, though it isn't the most progressive show in its views and handling of certain topics. Still, I dug it. You can watch the first episode, subtitled on their website. I'm trying to dig up more information on the second series now, hopefully I'll be able to turn up a trailer or something. Now if they'd just announce a second season of Capadocia.. Edit: Dread Central Review of Epitafios on DVD. (Comment on this)

kgraleopard	9:36p	Car! Duh! *smacks forehead* I forgot! Spots came over and he and Bear replaced our front brakes (back ones were still perfect) and also our Huge-y McHugeHuge belt. I just threw away the old one, which already had cracks in it. Certainly changed none too soon! Thanks so much, Spots!! Also, you left all your clothing here. *grins* *hugs* (4 Comments |Comment on this)
kgraleopard	8:54p	DA, Oblivion It's always fun to be looking at artwork on Deviant Art when there're clients in the office. Bear was in session and I found some really interesting artists/photographers who did some really beautiful nudes. So I'm having to glance over my shoulder as I click on each tab, making sure Bear hasn't come out yet. (NOTE: I'm not worried about Bear's reaction--he doesn't care--as opposed to our patient's. *grins*) I found a really intriguing shot of a woman wearing a custom latex pant thing. The legs were clear with black rectangles which were slits in the back which had been laced up... Hold on. This will be easier... http://tmronin.deviantart.com/art/Jade-Vixen-Zivity-02-117008671 What intrigued me most was not her ass or the material her outfit is made from, but rather that it is SO custom fit as to look painted on. And the width of the black material "covering" her crotch is JUST the perfect size. (depending on what your definition of "perfect" is... *grins*) Beautifully designed. Amusing... I was just looking at the plants in the background as well and thought that the frondy thing looked like a volunteer tree thing I've seen a bunch in our backyard. I look at the guy's profile. Bingo. He's in NYC. Crunched a bunch of Oblivion today. Got my ass handed to me in a couple of ruins/caves. One by a Will-o-wisp, which regenerated faster than I could damage it, and the other twice by 1) a slew of conjurers and their dremora churls (I think that's what they were in the chaotic melee) and 2) by the daedroth. Son of a bitch! I had to restart at my last save and go elsewhere. I have a bit of a sucky weapon right now. I should research where I can pick up another. (I dislike buying things when I play Oblivion/Morrowind and avoid doing so where possible, especially since you can find so much cool junk!) Got lambasted by two frost atronachs and a conjurer outside the latter area but was able to get help from a passing Imperial Guard. Should have known that would mean trouble! However, I survived that. I'm loosely doing the Shadowbanish Wine quest. Got four bottles thusfar. Still stopping at every place I find and trying to clean it out. Finding lots of armor, but no really good weapons. (see above note that I need to do some research) I'm at level 15 or 16. Endurance at 100. I've got to get my Alteration up to 25 so I can use the Ease Burden spell. So annoying otherwise having to run to town, run back, pick up stuff, run back to town. At least I can fast-travel. *hugs* (Comment on this)

bigscary	5:30p	pleasedon'tsuckpleasedon'tsuckpleasedon'tsuck My personal-favorite show starting with alien gibberish chanting (yes, more favorite than Farscape) to be remade/rebooted/sequeled (it's not clear). If this goes as well as the BSG reboot, I'll finally get to wear my own version of Emily's actually-very-terrifying Halloween costume. Sadly, this has been a dream of mine for more than a decade, but no one would have gotten it. Current Mood: bouncy (4 Comments |Comment on this)

bychoice	9:40p	Underoos Yay! I finally found gold fold over elastic, so now I can make my Wonder Woman underoos. I may have to get some gold paint to put the stars on the panties, though. However, I need a red bra for the 11th (as a bit of my bra may show and I want the outfit to still look good), so I'll probably just focus on the bra for now. (Comment on this)
loudpoet	11:13p	The Limitations of FREE; Godin vs. Gladwell Originally published at x-post from loudpoet.com. Please leave any comments there. TheOnlyWay by rverc For Anderson, YouTube illustrates the principle that Free removes the necessity of aesthetic judgment. (As he puts it, YouTube proves that “crap is in the eye of the beholder.”) But, in order to make money, YouTube has been obliged to pay for programs that aren’t crap. To recap: YouTube is a great example of Free, except that Free technology ends up not being Free because of the way consumers respond to Free, fatally compromising YouTube’s ability to make money around Free, and forcing it to retreat from the “abundance thinking” that lies at the heart of Free. Credit Suisse estimates that YouTube will lose close to half a billion dollars this year. If it were a bank, it would be eligible for TARP funds. –Malcolm Gladwell, Priced to Sell Gladwell’s must-read New Yorker review of Chris Anderson’s Free: The Future of a Radical Price nails its short-sighted, conference circuit talking point to the wall for anyone to see, so I was a bit surprised and disappointed when Seth Godin offered a rather weak defense of Anderson’s work, simply titled “Malcolm is wrong“. I became a big fan of Godin’s after reading Tribes last year, and honestly, much of what I’ve been doing over the past 6+ months here on the blog, at work, and in my side pursuits was inspired by its underlying message of “be the change you want to see in the world.” Both in Tribes and on his blog, he tends to keep things simple without belaboring the obvious, but sometimes that simplicity can be a major flaw, as it is in his support of Anderson’s hyper-simplistic premise. Ironically, he uses poetry as an example to prove his point, but ends up doing the exact opposite: In a world of free, everyone can play. This is huge. When there are thousands of people writing about something, many will be willing to do it for free (like poets) and some of them might even be really good (like some poets). There is no poetry shortage. While it’s true there is no poetry shortage, quantitatively speaking, the “everyone can play” idea was the basic premise of the poetry slam which ultimately proved to be tragically flawed and a perfect case study for new media evangelists.

If anyone is interested, let me know. My birthday: I'm tempted to say beach again (and if enough people hate bathing suits there is a park nearby and we can just sit there and chat) but if too many people are against it I figure we can always do a small get together somewhere. My place would probably be too small but I give myself about a month to plan stuff. I guess at this point I'm still open to suggestion. Current Mood: good (8 Comments |Comment on this)
