Unrelated Political Rant. "Classic Hipster Racism" by nojojojo at The Angry Black WomanYES. Yes. Yes. Yes. Read the comments too. Considering how much I like to play both dress-up and Scrabble, my friends have often been confused by how vehemently I hate on hipsters. ("And what do you even mean by ' hipster' anyway?") I've never been able to articulate succinctly what aggravates me so much about hipster culture, but the comments on that entry pretty much do it for me. It's not about the aesthetic. I'll be the first to admit that your average twenty-something hipster is better dressed, more attractive, cleverer and infinitely cooler than I am. I'm serious. As a recovering Goth and, as mentioned above, dress-up afficionado, many elements of hipster fashion appeal to me. Musically, I actually like the sort of dreamy, talky, neo-shoegaze often associated with the scene; it's haunting and sonically interesting. And, certainly, my distaste is spiked with a residual drop of the outcast kid's resentment for the popular highschool crowd - especially since being uncool became the definition of cool and I still wasn't cool enough to pull it off. But really, if every boy in the universe decided to grow his bangs long and girls all walked around wearing cute chunky librarian glasses I would not complain. Which is why it makes me so sad that ( hipsters suck so much. )Maybe I'll get flamed for this, but since I'd be getting flamed by hipsters, that's fine with me. They're too cool to get offended anyway. Current Mood:  annoyed |

Begging the internet's indulgence once again
Been drawing all day, and need to flex a different creative muscle, but still need to work on <Epic stuff.
If you feel so inclined, throw me a prompt in the comments and I'll do my best to respond with a tiny ficlet. |

Episode 13 Episode 13 is now online! You can view it here: http://podcast.chibiproject.com/episode.shtml?13...or subscribe and download it via the iTunes Store (it's free!) Show Notes:After hurricanes began ramming up against one of The Chibi Project's team members on a regular basis in 2004, The Chibi Project staff began to discuss subjecting Chibi Moon to a hurricane test. Unfortunately, the short notice on which most hurricanes arrive made it difficult to mail the Chibi Moon figure in time. Ultimately, we decided to improvise with another figure. Six hours before Hurricane Dennis was expected to make landfall, we found a Kuroneko figurine. Kuroneko, the annoying "Where's Waldo" character from Trigun, seemed like a perfect test subject. Let's face it -- who hasn't wanted to punt a cat at some point in their lives? So, armed with duct tape, we went outside and strapped the bastard to a tree branch. A few hours later, Hurricane Dennis began pummeling the yard with 110 MPH winds and driving rain. Branches, fence parts, and small rodents were also airborne during this time. By nightfall, the hurricane had died down to the level of a "normal" rainstorm. We ventured outside to discover that while some duct tape had survived, Kuroneko was long gone. Searches of the neighborhood -- conducted with the help of the children living nearby -- yielded no sign of the cat. Current Mood: accomplished |

more Wii-a-thon I stayed up way too late last night wrapping up the Story Mode of Super Smash Bros Brawl: The Subspace Emissary. I just got a little carried away once I realized how to navigate the crazy maze at the end of the game and the final boss battle was in sight. And I really wanted to unlock the rest of the characters myself; I have a couple of friends coming over tomorrow night who are much better players than me, and I expect them to break all kinds of records.
A lot of people seem to hate the Subspace Emissary, but I thought it was a lot of fun. The sidescrolling platforming action is right up my alley, and it was a great way to familiarize myself with all the playable characters. Even though I completed all the stages, there's still a ton of hidden stuff to collect (thus the 82% complete), should I decide to give up writing. Current Mood:  tired |

Office Prank A girl who sits near me goes through something like half a case of Diet Coke each day. Yesterday, I snuck a Diet Moxie into her Diet Coke box. Apparently she pulled it out this morning, opened it, and took a swig without realizing it wasn't Diet Coke. I wasn't here, so I missed hearing her reaction...but she said she was disgusted. I don't blame her. Regular Moxie is vile. I can only imagine that Diet Moxie is exponentially worse. (Comments claiming in any way that Moxie is good and in no way completely disgusting will be deleted.) Current Mood:  amused |

Work. Second draft: 39 single-spaced pages not including executive summary, methods section, literature review or appendices. It will probably shrink a little bit in the editing process but that's okay. I'm aiming to get a version to my boss by 3:00 this afternoon. That gives me about four hours. Should be plenty of time if I concentrate. Shockingly, I've actually been doing that lately. God it feels so good to be done. Not even that, really. What feels good is having discovered the capacity within me to pace myself, to accomplish a major creative project with some amount of sustained steadiness while simultaneously having a life. As opposed my more usual hermit-like state wherein manic fits of sleepless hyper-production are interspersed with writer's block qua bouts of depressive self-loathing and spending eleven straight hours staring into Facebook. At the very least, even if I can't always snap myself out of it, I've become much better at recognizing when I'm being neurotic about my writing and that's helpful. I've learned some good strategies, including that sometimes it's okay to ask other people for help - and that often, when you do ask, they'll even give it to you! (I'm still working on internalizing that one, but I'll get there.) I don't know that this is necessarily a permanent shift. I tend to go two steps forward, one step back with this sort of thing. But just knowing I can do it is heartening. Gives me hope that I might be able to, y'know, write a dissertation or something one of these days. I also cleaned my entire house yesterday, including scrubbing every grimy untouched corner of our bathroom. It's still grimy, but now it's "this isn't going to get any better unless we replace it" grime as opposed to, "gross, we should probably do something about that before it gains sentience..." grime. Oh, and I found a place to live! Current Mood:  good |

T________T I was trying really hard not to remember how AC Milan sucked last season and how they did not qualify for CL this season when Star Sports decided to show a replay of a Milan game in which they lost to Arsenal. Can I just say, ouch? I'm sorely tempted to get the bloody remote from the guard and change the effing channel. Also reasons why I want the transfer season to end soon: Calcio Debate: Should Milan Sell Kaka For €100m?Madrid Have Asked About Kaká - GallianiChelsea Now Make €150m Kaka OfferChelsea set to land Kaka for record £80mI know all those rumours had been denied by both clubs, but the transfer season is still a long way from closing so...Ugh. I just wish they'd all just stick to Cristiano Ronaldo's transfer saga to Real Madrid, really. Totally unrelated: The Dark Knight is awesome. It was worth watching on the big screen. I love it to pieces. God, Joker, Harvey, Bruce! (although I want to give Batman Strepsils whenever he talks. Guh) Current Mood:  crappyCurrent Music: Ayaka - Why |
