1:12p | Book Review: archy books archy and mehitabel and archyology by Don Marquis I'm not entirely sure how to evaluate these books. They're certainly not my usual fare. In fact, I only read them because my high school boyfriend gave me the second one--I just recently managed to find the first. They are poems, or stories or articles constructed like poems, ostensibly written by a cockroach named Archy. Archy writes by flinging himself headfirst onto typewriter keys, so there are no capital letters, though I'm at a loss to explain the lack of punctuation (surely he could at least manage periods?). they chronicle Archy's adventures, as well as those of his friend Mehitabel the cat, and their interactions with other insects, animals, people, and even ghosts. I found them somewhat difficult to follow (probably because they were originally written as newspaper columns, not to be published in a book), and there's certainly no plot, though sometimes there are stories that go on over several installments. However, the characters are amusing and sometimes wise. It's also interesting to see a cockroach's view on Prohibition--the columns were originally written in the 1910s and '20s. | ||

10:45p | So, I'm just had a personal situation blow up on the home front - no details here/now, I may or may not post about it later - but it made me think. Someone: A) calling me and yelling at me, and B) sending me an angry email, put me (temporarily) back down in as bad a depression as I've been in... quite a while. I've been doing well recently. I've been cheerful, mostly functional, a few bad moments but no bad days. And one set of bad interactions crashed that like a house of cards. One of the things I've gotten upset at myself about recently is why I don't do more - more for myself, and more for the house. There are chores that I'm weeks behind on, and I keep promising I'll really start exercising every day, even if only for a few minutes... So I sat down and looked at where all the time is going that I'm not spending on the things I should be doing. And you know where most of it goes? Mood regulating. I swear to god. I spend an absolute bare minimum of two hours a day doing things (different things, depending on my current mood and interest level and energy) to keep myself from getting depressed. If I get enough of it, I can start functioning at a higher level; if I don't get enough, just keeping myself going from one day to the next is problem. Does anyone else out there have to do this? Current Mood:  depressed | ||

9:54a | Equal Marriage Rally, Boston The crowd was large, despite the rain, and peaceful, despite the anger. Lots of inspirational speakers. I took tons of photos and posted them on Facebook. One of my FB friends is a professional photographer who apparently shows up at every gay event, everywhere. I overheard someone in the crowd say, "who is that? She shows up everywhere." Well, it's a good thing, too, because these are amazing! http://www.flickr.com/photos/mhimages/s Current Mood: hopeful | ||

10:33a | Thursday morning bondage... HA - that got your attention, now didn't it? XD No, I was taking a little break, and browsing Myspace music, and found 'Human Nature' by Madonna. I'm not her biggest fan, but her electronica stuff is really cool - she has the perfect voice for this type of music. Plus, as yaoi / slash writers, we get SO much criticism from the repressed canon nazis, I found a new appreciation for this song (plus the video is just COOL. Yay for vinyl!) .( And I'm not sorry... ) Current Mood:  naughtyCurrent Music: Madonna - Human Nature | ||

9:57p | Something I'll never find time to write Story idea: The Kosigan Saga Story starts with one small change to the Bujold universe - instead of chasing after the imperial courier ship he missed, Ivan decides to sit tight. Miles doesn't get word of the message in time to make it back to his trial, and is convicted of treason in absentia. He discovers this before he sets foot back on imperial territory, and through one means and another, manages to get his sentence partially commuted. Instead of death by exposure, he's stripped of his Vor status, and exiled from Barrayar, Sergyar, and Komarr. A dispirited Miles heads back to his fleet to resume his place as Admiral Naismith. Three years later, with a well-established reputation under his belt, Miles is traveling in the Hegden Hub territory when he has to bail one of his crewmen out of jail - and discovers that his crewman's cellmate is an incognito Emperor Gregor... | ||

12:37p | Obama = Marxist Hitler Congressman Paul Broun wants people to know that President-elect Obama is already making moves to establish a dictatorship, just like it happened under Hitler's reign and in Marxist Russia. How do we know this? Well, see, Obama is in favor of a national security force that would assist the military in fighting terrorism. Which is "exactly what Hitler did in Nazi Germany and it's exactly what the Soviet Union did," apparently. Yes, that's the same national security force that Bush was in favor of. But see, now that Obama might be in charge of it, it would become a bad thing. And lead to a ban on private gun ownership, through the logical link of... well, OK, I'm not quite clear on that. But Broun seems to think it follows like night follows day. Maybe something to do with what happened in Germany and Russian, under the theory that if one thing happens that might be vaguely similar to some things that happened there, that everything else that happened in those places will naturally follow. Plus, wanting a national security force makes Obama a Marxist. I'm still looking up details on why that didn't apply to Bush, or maybe conservatives are naturally immune? NOT, Broun wants to be clear, that he's comparing Obama to Hitler. He clearly says he's not! It's just that "[y]ou have to remember that Adolf Hitler was elected in a democratic Germany.... What I'm saying is there is the potential of going down that road." All of which proves to me that AOL members & readers are generally Here's MY poll: Poll #2694 How Crazy is Broun Open to: All, results viewable to: All How Crazy is Congressman Broun?
