  • 02:28 Great, I suddenly find myself wanting to study race relations/white privilege/etc. I think my upbringing's made my mindset re: it weird. #
  • 02:32 Like, I feel privileged in some respects? But then I've been wondering if I'd get jobs easier if I used Alyssa Reed instead of my real name. #
  • 02:35 ...that was just a spur of the moment combination but that is so my fake white name if I ever become a secret agent. #
  • 05:46 Now that I think about it: If I were born and raised in South Detroit, I'd take the midnight train going anywhere too. SOUTH DETROIT. #
  • 18:22 Dad's playing "Move Away" by Boy George: I keep hearing "move move move away from me, darling" as "move move move away from the Daleks". #
  • 19:22 Loving @_andrew_g's Idol rehearsal photos 8) (spoilers, @JemzNZ!) #
  • 20:17 tinyurl.com/y9wf8c7 Graffiti makes me laugh. Apparently this one is in a Vic lift! I've not seen it. #

  • 14:32 Had a horrible night last night for no reason other than I was tired out of my mind. Going to see the kids today. Hope that goes better. #
  • 20:58 Not going to see the kids today. Going to pick them up from school instead on Friday. Muuuuch better. And now: Ulyth! #BillyParish #

My books are crowding higher. I sat now, admiring them. Rise, books. I've read too many of them, though. Need to search out those that are new, devour those too and add their corpses to the growing piles. (Lately: Brust (Dragon, Issola, beginning Dzur. Almost out of Vlad!), Michelle Tea (Valencia is terrifying - any of the women she's dated would be too much for me), Ekaterina Sedia, Seanan McGuire's Rosemary and Rue. And I want Boneshaker.)

What are you reading at the moment? Also, if you feel like it and can, take a picture of your bookshelves and show me! I promise not to creepily zoom in and analyse everything on your shelves. My fingers are not crossed, why would you think so?

And, oh! [info - personal] shanaqui recent posted this, from Guy Gavriel Kay:
My youngest brother had a wonderful schtick from some time in high school, through to graduating medicine. He had a card in his wallet that read, ‘If I am found with amnesia, please give me the following books to read …’ And it listed half a dozen books where he longed to recapture that first glorious sense of needing to find out ‘what happens next’ … the feeling that keeps you up half the night. The feeling that comes before the plot’s been learned.

Guy Gavriel Kay


I haven't yet come up with mine, but I'm curious: what are yours?

being sick sucks.
which i'm sure you all know already, but i felt required reiteration. thank whoever i didn't have class yesterday; sincerely doubt i would have made it there, let alone to a pre-class meeting with the prof about the long paper.

(which was all of five minutes long but netted me some interesting sounding titles for investigation. i have to remind myself that it's not my fault he's frustrating me--just fundamentally different approaches to the universe.)

my brother will be about sometime this afternoon, trying to find the '08 turbotax software. my theory is either in the box of mail on the mantle, somewhere else on the mantle, or somewhere, god help him, in the office or associated closet.

the god help him is in relation to the apparent explosion in a paper mill level of organization in the office; i have yet to Happen to that, unlike just about every other area of the house. >.>

Dreamwidth Follow Friday #2
Here's the plan: every Friday, let's recommend some people and/or communities to follow on Dreamwidth. That's it. No complicated rules, no "pass this on to 7.328 friends or your cat will die". Just introduce us to some new things to read.

[info - community] beginningcocks: named for a misreading of 'beginningcooks', this comm is all you need to understand cocks. I cannot promise it will cause you to appreciate them; maybe you need to be born that way.

[info - community] dailyprompt and [info - community] stayintheroom: if you're a fiction writer and find prompts useful, check these comms out. [info - community] stayintheroom has fewer members, but some very creative prompts.

[info - personal] rho: everyone should have some [info - personal] rho in their lives. She should, however, come with XKCD's warning attached: occasionally contains strong language (which may be unsuitable for children), unusual humor (which may be unsuitable for adults), and advanced mathematics (which may be unsuitable for liberal-arts majors).

[info - syndicated] googlelogos_feed: a feed of Google's special logos, including the many you won't see in your country. Prettiness.

[books] [Jaz Parks 6] Bite Marks by Jennifer Rardin
... Okay, I could not deal with teh way that this book crossed over from paranormal to sci-fi. I don't know if other people find it odd, but I do not like vampires mingling with ALIENS. It's too bizarre by far. I think it's the whole, it's a different reality spectrum that had me flabbergasted. Yes, I know that this book was supposed to deal with a lot of inter... paranormal type of thing, but aliens seem like a completely different concept all together.

That and they have another book which has blood biting and trust issues. I get enough of that aggravation from the Hollows and Riley Jensen. But yes, this biting aggravation takes it a tad bit better.

On a side note, I appreciate the fact that Vayl has an island in the Philippines. Seven days in the tropics. Haha, and they flew from the Philippines to Austraila... although now that I think about it... isn't a flight from the Philippines to Australia just like 4 hours and not 12? That would be like a flight from the Philippines to the US.

Well, I finished the book because it was a Jaz Parks novel but I liked the earlier books better. Probably becuase of the alien Ufranite bias and not through any fault of the author

Excellent evening, bonding over watching the EMAs with Dom, Kama, Dream and Emma, and squeeing about Tokio Hotel. It's left little time for catching up on comments and projectwork or writing a more detailed entry today, but when I've had such unqualified /fun/, it doesn't matter a whit. This is turning into the year of groups, joining together with other people to talk about and enjoy something and having the group itself be a precious creation. Or maybe it's just taking a larger priority for me -- not being so fixed on being independent, only satisfied when alone yet confused and depressed by how I wanted to 'look in' on people for hours (journals, IRC). Now I'm easing into being a conscious willing member of certain groups, looking forward to all the possibilities.

been feeling like crap lately :D
To my vast surprise, as I'd thought I'd done rubbish in the cover letter, I got shortlisted/an interview for casual events hosting at Te Papa. Of course, I applied about a month ago and now have no idea what the job actually is... Time to go dig out the job description again. Oh well, it's a nice confidence boost after faiiiiiiiling to find anything lately.

EDIT: I have a singing gig! Mabuhay fundraiser concert on the twenty-first, ahahaha. Anyone know any mainstream, family-friendly, poppy Christmas songs that aren't All I Want for Christmas is You?

First off, exciting news! I'm going to Finland in March to visit [info - personal] anotherdream and see Tokio Hotel in concert :D

Beyond that, and completely unrelated... I was thinking about how I use my journal. How it's quite warts and all, more full of my faults and insecurities than anything else, and cautious in optimism. Not as giddy or funny or laidback as I 'really' am, either. It occurred to me that it's because one of my major goals here is being honest and upfront - in a defensive way. Tell the truth as a protection, so it can't be used against me as a weapon. This first started coming clear to me with the Dana thing. For quite some time, whenever I told the story of that disaster I was careful to paint myself in as 'fair' a light as I could - unflattering, that is (except for facing off against Molly the roommate, because I will never not be proud of swearing at vile people).

Being honest and upfront is in no way a bad thing, obviously. But examining my motives reveals interesting things: why I'm resistant to improving the quality of my journal writing, more carefully delving into thoughts. As I go deeper, I face ambiguity. I am afraid of exploring ambiguity, of looking down all of the paths. Confronting and accepting things that I believed and do not believe, things that I am not sure I want to believe but think may be true, things that are too huge as truths to be encompassed by me or sincerely explored without being a life's work. It threatens this simplicity of being "honest", the easy honesty of describing how I feel right at one time, or how something looks immediately.

I want to push myself beyond this. Get beyond the feeling of a potentially hostile audience, trust myself more than the eyes reading.

[books] Trick of the Light by Rob Thurman
A new book from Rob Turman [author of the Leandros Series]. Although I am a fan of Cal, I am finding that I might not be too much into Trick of Light. I was strangely disoriented with the setting of this one, although yes, it does have Robin Goodfellow mentioned once or twice, it is a completely different place from Cal's.

There are a group of characters whom I like. Trixia whom I can't decide if she's plain psychic or just a collector of lost souls, Leo the ever present friend, Zeke and Griffin who are both the most GAY couple I've ever seen {yes, Ms. Thurman seems to write things that make male bonding look gay to me}, and even Whisper. I like the cast of characters but they seem a little too much to handle for the first book, like they came all of a sudden not a gradual introduction. And yes, I even like Solomon, even if he does remind me of Jaf. I think reading Jaf (although I honestly can't read that book ever again) has spoiled me for any other demon creature ever written. Especially when he talked about the fall.

And for some reason almost every boo in existence that has angels on them make angels out as self righteous pricks. The only Exception to that is Rachelle Mead's Georgina Kincaid series.

I am not sure what to make of the objective of the entire series. But yes, there is backstory to it, about Trixia's brother and what happened that fateful day when he no longer walks the earth, which is what motivates Trixia.

And yes, the twist in the end. I didn't guess it. It wasn't obvious, at least to me. (I always love trying to guess twists). Okay there were one or two things that were glaring, like....

glaring spoilers )

...

and goodness.... I thought the entire Cal Leandros series was over, but roadkill is up next.

All in all I liked this book, but I'd rather read about Cal.
