 | 09:12 am - Dear My Fingers:
Look, I'm relatively over you constantly mangling "should" and "would" (and the auto-spell-checker catches that in Word).
I'm a little irritated by your recent inability to spell "remember" without sticking an extra E between the m and the b, but I can teach the spell-checker that one.
However, this thing you've been doing where you drop the n-g on -ing words (e.g., 'Are you shitti me?' or 'As long as Bob was goi to the store, he was for damn sure stoppi by the pet shop for a fucki flea bomb.') has Got. To. Go.
You do it in all contexts, and I can't teach the spell-checker to fix it because it's not like I can just say "change all things that have an i at the end, some letters before that, and a space after" to -ing." For one thing, I don't think I think the auto-replaceydoo (or ctrl-h find and replace) is that clever with the wildcard characters, and also there are words which legitimately end in i: Staci have driven the semi to every state but Hawaii.
Stoppit.
Thanks.

 | 11:13 am - Where Bullets Can No Longer Wound Us, by falafel_musings (PG-13)
Fandom: BATTLESTAR GALACTICA
Pairing: gen, though there's hints of Felix/Eight, Dee/Billy and Boomer/Cavil
Length: three mid-sized parts
Author on LJ: falafel_musings
Author Website: her LJ has a sidebar with fic listings (bsg fic tag)
Why this must be read: Three minor characters (Dee, Felix and Boomer) are each given a moment to explain their actions while in conversations with the dead. What a fitting way for this to happen for a show that has canon head!characters. It's tightly-written and painful.

 | 11:37 am - Not actually interesting but since I looked it up
Ages of Editors
Magazine 1940 1950 1960 1970 1980 1990 2000 2009
Astounding/Analog 30 40 50 60 36 46 56 65
Fantasy & Science Fiction -- 40 30 33 43 53 33 43
Galaxy -- 36 41* 27 35** -- -- --
Asimov's -- -- -- -- 51 43 53 ??
Well, that wasn't very informative. Analog's numbers are due to its habit of long tenures for editors (in particular Campbell and Schmidt's long tentures). F&SF by way of contrast has gone through a lot more editors in less time.
Nothing double-checked. Could all be wrong.
* If Fred Pohl was doing most of the editorial work by that time. If Gold still was, that should be 46.
** Galaxy shut down in late 1979 but lets pretend it lasted another few months.

 | 07:57 pm - My favourite LOTR fic got updated!
Yes, this is an event deserving of a post. This was my most favourite, most loved LOTR fanfic. I signed for chapter alerts but didn't receive any and was sure it was dead 'cos it wasn't updated for nearly three years. But I was going to cherish it forever even if it were abandoned because more than 600 000 words of the most original and compelling "Boromoir lives" plot were written and shone like the Sun. Turns out FFnet alerts didn't work for a while. But in any case, I was link-hopping at FFnet a few days back and accidentally saw that the story was updated. This is not whee. It's WHEEEEEEEE! So even though, after all these years, I remember what happened in the story when it stopped last time, I'm rereading it from the beginning again and am so happy!
I'm reposting my old rec (with a few corrections for the update). Give it a try if you are interested in LOTR fiction at all!
Boromir's Return, by Osheen Nevoy/Alex Service (podaros on lj) ##
Gen, PG-13, long WIP. Summary: Boromir awakens from his death and finds himself in an unexpected situation.
( I think this fic is, simply put, terrific. It's a very slow WIP (it took the author years to write these 24 chapters) but it's VERY long; its 24 chapters took me three days to read. You can see how much I loved this fic 'cos I'm giving it two stars despite its being a work in progress. As for me, it's just that good. For me it's better to read an unfinished fic like this than a dozen completed ones. And OMG, more than a week has passed, but I'm still reading it inside my head. )

 | 10:07 am - And Sunday always comes too late
♥ Gah. This last week sucked in so many ways. Let's hope this week is better! Anyway, got my tires replaced. My grandfather has decided to get some kind of security camera thing to watch the driveway so we can catch the little bastards if they hit again, though I think it's unlikely anything will happen even if we had them on camera with signs saying 'we did it, police' because our local police department seems to be rather lazy and ineffective. Heh.
♥ I want to write today. I have a new AU Kirk/McCoy idea that is sort of eating my brain, but it's still in the 'development and giving you tons of backstory and random scenes but haha you can't sit and write entire sections yet' stage. I also think I chose an idea for startrekbigbang if it talks and lets me write it. I've also written a possible prologue for the other Kirk/McCoy AU in my head. Not to mention the various ideas that could be used in Motorbike/Starship 'verse stories. Yet I'm sitting here staring at word nudging all these many ideas and they're sticking their tongues out at me and strutting around instead of talking. That's what having Jim Kirk seduce my muse has caused. I blame him totally. *grumbles*
♥ Speaking of, I'm still a bit OMG OTP??! about my utter love and near obsession with Kirk/McCoy. I'm tracking too many K/M prompts on the kink meme to even count. I hear them talking in my head all the time about fic ideas etc. I can't read deathfic with them because it utterly ruins me and makes me sob, though angsty happy fic for them does that, too. I'm not even a big cry person but I get teary about these two more easily than just about anything. I have read some McCoy/Other or Kirk/Other, but the latter is extremely difficult and I generally just don't even try because Jim-in-my-head fusses so much, and the former makes me have to deal with JiMH whining about someone else shagging his Bones. I'm not complaining, because I love these two/this ship, but it's just sort of new to me. I've had characters in the past that I could really only visualize in certain ship(s) or only read them with X person, but the K/M is just beyond that. /ramble
♥ To nudge my muse, feel free to comment with K/M and 1-3 words to prompt me. I might not get anything written, since I'm hoping to start the Big Bang idea to see how it flows, but I might need the prompting to get my head into writing. Only K/M this time, since it's not like an official challenge me drabble thing I sometimes do.
♥ I'm behind on DVR stuff. Leverage just started a new season, I'm behind a few episodes of In Plain Sight, two Top Chef Masters, etc. etc. And I fail at answering comments here lately, too. *headdesk*
♥ I hope everyone's having a good weekend! *hugs and love you all*

 | 10:43 am - movie review
(No, not THAT movie.)
I just finished watching a film that's about ten years old, Trembling Before G-d. It's an independent documentary film about the lives and struggles of gay and lesbian Orthodox and Hasidic Jews -- not a large-budget production, which possibly explains why they couldn't afford the extra vowel.
I found myself wondering if the film would be any different if it had been made today and not ten years ago. Have any of the cultural shifts and progress trickled through to the Orthodox and Hasidic communities when it comes to dealing with their gay sons and daughters and nephews and nieces and grandchildren and congregants? As the non-Orthodox Jewish community becomes more accepting, and as society at large becomes more matter-of-fact about gayness, does this have any effect on the Orthodox and Hasidic community, or has that simply strengthened their intransigence? I'd be curious to know more.
Also, there was one part where I had to fast forward in distaste. One of the most interesting individuals the film followed was a middle-aged Orthodox gay man who, in his youth, had gone through all sorts of (painfully literal) contortions in order to "change," to not be gay any longer. He had gone through interminable counseling, humiliating aversive rituals -- all sorts of really damaging stuff. But he seemed, in many ways, the film's most appealing, balanced, and articulate individual. Anyway, they had him fly back to meet with the rabbi that he first came out to as a young man, and who had first counseled him to seek therapy and a "cure." And all the while, he's talking about how kind this rabbi is, how gentle and understanding, how he's got sweet eyes, and when we meet him, you can really see it, too -- here is a gentle and kind older man. So I was appalled at the impulse to stand there with a camera and have the guy say, yeah, you remember that advice you gave me, IT SUCKED. I couldn't watch, and it seemed to me a violation of two very important Jewish principles: a) you never embarrass or publicly humiliate anyone, and b) you are grateful to any teachers you ever had, even if most of what they taught you was wrong and only one tiny kernel of it was true. There's a saying about being grateful to someone who taught you even the smallest letter of the aleph-bet. Even if you later realize that your teacher was wrong, or that you have "moved beyond" your teacher, you find something to be grateful for.
It was a film about intense personal suffering, but part of me rebels at it. It's easy to assume, watching films like this, that gayness is all about suffering, and there's a delicate psychological line there -- if gays suffer so much, a viewer might think, then maybe it means they should be suffering, that suffering is somehow an ontological part of gay existence. It's a bit like if you constructed your whole notion of Judaism from Schindler's List. Making endless films about Jewish suffering leads to the idea that Jewishness is all about suffering, which leads to the whole notion of divinely ordained, punitive Jewish suffering, which leads to, which leads to. So it's a thing: how do you document and bear witness to the oppression of a minority without letting consciousness of oppression dominate an outsider's understanding of minority identity? How do you lead outsiders into the secret treasury of joy that characterizes that experience?
So, I dunno. Any readers out there want to share their perceptions of the intersection of Jewishness and gayness?

| 10:51 am - Please explain
I carried a large container of cat litter home a couple of days ago. It seems logical that the easiest way to carry something with a handle on it is to let one's arm hang straight while hanging onto the handle of the object. In fact it's much easier to carry it with the arm bent between 45 and 90 degrees. Why?

| 10:31 am - Hearts and Minds
In celebration of the US landing on the Moon, author Michael Mandel questions whether the US space program was worth the money sunk into it.
Things he overlooks: weather satellites, GPS, spy satellites (which arguably greatly reduced the odds of an accidental WWIII or at least changed the nature of the sort of accidental WWIII we might have. I've run the figures and a civilization-ending global thermonuclear war has significant economic consequences) and modern aps like Google Maps, all of which involve a region of space not much farther out than geosynch, and all of which involve the one thing that can be transported fairly quickly and relatively inexpensively across space: information.
I am not sure how to put a price on the abstract knowledge we've gathered from space but since deep space probes can run over a billion dollars a pop, someone must have a way to measure the value of the returns.
The ensuing discussion is rather energetic.
I note in one of the comments farther down an interesting habit Americans have when they talk about the wars they are involved in: Iraq is said to have cost "has cost 4,000 lives, injured 10,000 or more [...]". In fact, estimates of the violent deaths in Iraq due to the current adventure start at about 90,000 and range up to one million.
There is a good possibility that the moon and the gas giants contain quantities of helium-3, which is rare on Earth but has a good chance of solving our energy problems.

 | 09:43 am - Hogwarts Neutered--taking America with it!
Is Harry Potter Emasculating America?
Hormones used to have it so much easier in Hollywood — especially when it came to the supernatural. Remember when B-movie writers could just send off horny teens to be massacred in the woods, without all the messiness of courtship, relationships, and sexual frustration? Or, alternatively, when we had the simple pleasures of Teen Witch, Teen Wolf, and other mass-market trifles whose young characters, without too much difficulty, always found the true meanings of love and life through their unusual afflictions?
Those were the days. Don't envy the constituency that followed, which has invested big in Hollywood's new, billion-dollar economy of bitterly undersexed teen fantasy. The vampire melodrama Twilight sailed last year as its flagship, seducing more than $380 million worth of your wives, girlfriends, and daughters with its tale of a suave teen vampire, his comely human crush, and the unrequited sexual compulsion between them. Not to be outdone, this week's Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince — the sixth entry in the blockbuster kid-wizard franchise — is the series' first film to directly address hormonal confusion, obsession, and lust. Even Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, with its torrid teaming of Shia LaBeouf and Megan Fox, allows them only as much intimacy as their downtime from battling alien robots will accommodate.
Might as well call it Harry Potter and the Half-Assed Libido.
Oh, and great line: (And when even the Vatican approves, you know the kids aren't all right.)

| 09:38 am - Gay Hogwarts!
The Homosexual Undertones of the Half-Blood Prince
Hogwarts is a hormonal hothouse! Wizards are snogging in the halls, winking at each other during Potions class, and they're even abusing their powers to seduce other supple wizards. Director David Yates did a fantastic job capturing the sexual tension that must throb through any kind of co-ed castle. But because the most troublesome part of teen sexuality is the idea of a loose lady wizard most of the innuendos and flirtation stayed between the boys. And so in the tradition of British boarding schools things got a little gay.

Check out the sweet shoes I just ordered! They're even on super-mega-markdown and come in Carolina blue.
Yesterday I went on my first Tube Walk and befriended a horse. We also discovered that there's a place where you can just stroll on to the M25 (unless you're a cow -- they had very firm grids in place). Flickr set is here.
Today I get to go shopping for a toilet brush. But earlier, as I was doing dishes that have been in the sink for a week and about four loads of laundry, I was thinking about things I have that I didn't have when I moved to London two years ago. (Almost two years. My Londonversary is on August 23rd.)
Like:
my own really nice flat in my favorite neighborhood ever
friends who do cool things like Tube Walks
an okay-paying job I like
that is totally a stepping-stone for the well-paying job I want, aka running The Economist
my own blender
knowledge of how to cook something that is not (a) a sandwich, (b) nachos or (c) something you put in the blender
a spiff and vitalizing religion I am very happy with!
the ability to manage a one-person household budget
several branded pint glasses
cool friends! did I mention the cool friends! I had several when I moved here, but I have more now! you are all pretty great, and come with me to the theatre and weird pubs.
confident feminism
these shoes (different from the ones above)
On the other hand, I also have
the need to buy a toilet brush (and then use it)
So I guess we are pretty much even, London.

 | 10:10 am - on being queer in Boston
Everyone stops and asks us for directions and thinks we live here because we're lesbians. EVERYONE. We kiss in public, and then suddenly someone is interrupting us to ask where the T is or a given mall. OVER AND OVER AGAIN.
So many gay families, OMG!
Wearing the suit was interesting and highlighted to me how much there are two Bostons: queer Boston and New England wealthy Boston. New England wealthy Boston involved men looking the _suit_ up and down and then glaring at me. Queer Boston involved certain level of eye-contact and engagement that I was unused to -- both as a New Yorker and as someone still leaning to wear the suit in public and feel like it won't engender unpleasant commentary. The gaze of people here feels so much more informed: is that person trans? is that person gender queer? is that a butch lesbian? People want to know and do the right thing -- the way I look doesn't necessarily make it easy though.
It does feel different to be gay in public here, which surprises me. ALthough, while New York is very safe and Patty and I are very affectionate in public, I realize that it is still often not the norm in NYC. I don't see queer couples holding hands constantly back home. Here I do see it, all the time. It's like that thing about "I'm not a hero for turning you on" -- I'm not a hero for being normally affectionate with my partner here. No one looks at us and smiles, because we aren't the only ones and we're not setting an example.
Did have one particularly bizarre moment in which a man who was clearly with his two wives (in trying to describe that this was a Muslim traditional-seeming family and not a poly grouping more similar that of many of my friends I inadvertantly said something that was offensive to poly poeple. I do not have a problem with poly people or poly relationships, and I apologize. I should also note I was aware of the relationship status between these three people because I had been walking behind them for several blocks and overheard their conversation, and I was not making an assumption about their relationship status based on their clothing or biases about Muslims -- however, I may additionally still be engaging in inappropriate biases for assuming their poly relationship is any different from that of my various friends', I am trying to do good here and feel that I am so clearly fucking this up, and I should perhaps delete this entire story, the original point of which was that there are such a huge variety of relationships and reactions to relationships that I was entirely charmed by the entire thing. Anyway, I fucked up, I've sent individual apologies as well, I intend to do better next time.) Anyway, the man was arguing with the women, because they thought a gay male couple holding hands were so cute ("they were holding fingers!") and the guy was all "it's worse than San Francisco!"

(Remember: drabble posts now appear on livejournal and insanejournal and dreamwidth)
Challenge #291: "The Solar System: Pluto* (and the rest)" This week's challenge is the seventh (and last) in a series related to the planets of the solar system. You can use "Pluto" to refer to the planet itself, the Roman god of the Underworld, the Disney Dog, Plutonium (...or any of the other options Wikipedia offers for Pluto), as long as your drabble focuses in some way on Severus Snape.
Note: Since this is the last challenge in this series, you needn't be limited to Pluto-related prompts only, but you should feel free to include anything you might find in our Solar System (the asteroid belt, planetary moons, the Tardis) which hasn't been covered in the challenges from previous weeks.

Sorry for the delay, folks. Been dealing with some pretty heavy health issues, and this just sorta fell by the wayside! I'll be bringing in some pretty awesome fics shortly to make up for it!
Fandom: BANDOM
Pairing: Bob Bryar/Gerard Way (some Gerard/Brian, past Bob/Frank)
Length: approx 7k
Author on LJ: Jen, aka mwestbelle
Author Website: Jen's masterlist
Why this must be read: There's some pretty hardcore issues going on in this one. Gerard is Brian's pet, but Brian must go out on tour, so he gets Bob to take over (this happens in the first three paragraphs of the story; i don't feel I'm spoiling it for you). Bob's got his own issues with taking care of a pet to the level of Gerard, so he tries to let Gerard be his own pereson.
This is not a pretty story in the sense that it's sweet and fluffy version of D/S. It's a shorter story, but it touches on some pretty serious issues for Gerard, and how Bob deals with the whole situation.
Plus, the sex is hot. ;)
