| The Boo Game |
[May. 15th, 2008|08:50 am] |
1. Two-Year-Old runs into room and shouts "boo!" at parent, who is holding baby.
2. Parent feigns surprise and throws baby into air, producing much giggling from baby.
3. All laugh.
4. Two-Year-Old leaves room.
Repeat ad infinitum. |

From today's Pepys Diary:
"Up, and with my wife to church, it being Whitsunday; my wife very fine in a new yellow bird's-eye hood, as the fashion is now."
Anyone know what a bird's-eye hood is? |

Quid licet narrare ? Multa ac varia nuper accidunt quae silens praetermitto. De bonis isdem ac malis taceo, res nullius momenti et innocentes divulgare evito quae subtiliter celanda tangant. Cur tamen celanda ? quippe non pudent, haud nocent, nec ullum quidem taedet. Sed tempus et mores celare decernunt, in reti praecipue. Rumor volat, nec vestigia relinquit, sed scripta et photographica manent, nonnumquam facilius inviteque disseminantur. Non solum nunc leges, sed etiam ludus ipse mutatus't, et quidam volunt sententiis suis omnia regere plures quam auctoritatem habent. Nominibus mutatis exemplum e vita et ephemeridibus dabo :
Alexandros duas amasias, Baucidem et Galateam, habet. Baucis, quod ei prima, non vult Galateam, ei secundam, sua in ephemeride simulacro Galateae cum Alexandro ostendente uti. Non iure rogat, immo per Alexandrum nuntium mittit, sed Galatea pacem petitum desinere adsentit. Sed paulum quoque irascitur, ita vult Galatea simulacro Diotimae, amasiae suae, secum uti non debet ne Alexandro (et Baucide, tamen eam non attinet) displiceat. Eum amat itaque se retinet, eamque placat ne bellum exardescat. Praeterea Galatea cum Diotima et Hectori multa agit, sed de cottidianis etiam foris silet ne invidiam eliciat, ne ullus quoquo modo indignetur. Porro Zenobia, amica eorum, turbae obtemperans picturas trium celat ne alios cieant.
Quousque de propriis scribere licet cum aliis intersint, praecipue cum res recte hos alios non attineant ? Cuius vita ? |

Firstly, a million thanks to ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) muffledsqueak for correctly diagnosing the problem with my computer, and to Jim Monk for giving me links to pages for solving it. MP3 record player, i-Tunes and computer are all now working fine - so I guess I owe them both a compilation CD!
Thanks also to myearsmyears for the Merzbow recommendations, which I shall investigate.
In the end I didn't buy Joni Mitchell or Merzbow, although I did listen to "Blue" by JM on a cassette I picked up for 50p- and I like it.
Yesterday I bought "Body Melt" by Daniel Menche, which to be honest is not a million miles away from what I imagine a lot of Merzbow to sound like, and Oren Ambarchi's "Lost Like A Star, which is actually very beautiful. Both on LP too, which is always nice.... |

Son of Rambow is a completely formulaic coming-of-age flick that rides like it's on rails. That said, the two lead actors are so good they made it easily the best flick I've seen this year. |

Yesterday I mostly worked at home, then ran some errands and headed over to K's. We were going to Salon of Shame and wanted to arrive early since it always sells out.
( POTD )
Salon of Shame was wonderful, as usual. However, the apparent shitty final reader streak which we thought had been broken last time with The Pros and Cons of Being Anne Frank returned last night with a guy who called himself Rogue Moon. He seemed to be under the impression that he was a comedian, launching into a several minute unfunny routine about tattoos and piercings before many in the audience heckled him to "Read! Read!" He then read what he claimed was from an acid trip after a protest in 1978 in which he discovered himself (I am me. And that's OK). Et cetera. It was awful.
On the bright side, Duran Duran girl was back with a piece she wrote for her friend Steph about Steph's wedding night with Roger Taylor. Also, another woman read excerpts from her senior year journal about her nemesis, a girl named Anna (not her real name). It was vicious and brilliant and I cried from laughing so hard. I am pretty sure the photo I linked to is where she is describing Anna's frightening nipples--check out the ASL interpreter. |

In the movie "High Fidelity", the main female character goes to her father's funeral with her ex-boyfriend (John Cusack's character). In the car, she turns to him and asks her to have sex with her because she wants to feel anything but the pain she's feeling. He, very much still in love with her, obliges. Afterwards, she says she wants him to take her home- to their home, the apartment they shared.
I think sometimes there comes a time in a woman's life when she realizes that sometimes there are just some people with whom you cannot live without them in your lives. It doesn't necessarily take a death or any sort of major epiphany.
They just feel like... home. |

| Delirious Revisited |
[May. 14th, 2008|07:53 pm] |
Last August, Deb and I had the opportunity to attend a special screening of director Tom DiCillo's Delirious. I wrote about the film the next day (which, if you check out the comments, generated a response from DiCillo himself). In subsequent weeks, due to lousy distribution (think Katrina-relief-effort lousy) and despite a rave review from Roger Ebert, Delirious came and went, lasting only a month in New York, a week in Los Angeles, and appearing on less than two-dozen screens in the entire U.S.
Last week Delirious was released on DVD. I encourage you to run out and buy, rent, or steal a copy immediately. You won't be disappointed (especially if you're a fan of the great character-study films of the Seventies). Rewatching the film today, I was once again blown away. Not only does it boast fantastic performances (by Steve Buscemi, Michael Pitt, and Gina Gershon, to name the obvious few), it's also a stunning piece of cinema.
Fortunately, the DVD transfer captures the movie's rich colors; scenes like the one where the Pitt character, walking through the streets of New York and realizing he's in love, are nothing short of visual poetry. Plus, there's a great commentary track by DiCillo, who has crafted a film, despite all third-party efforts to the contrary, worth remembering.

http://dickonedwards.co.uk/diary/index.php/archive/being-of-use/ Two bouts of usefulness today.
First is a paid stint as a clue-giver in a Treasure Hunt. Sarah H has hired me to stand on the bridge in St James's Park as 'a suited man', for about an hour. Various teams find me, I give them the clue to the next ... |

essay stress finally subsided today.
I've nearly finished that long winded essay I've been complaining about for weeks, had a photo shoot, had a few videos taken, and made a myspace page. I've just got to fashion some rubbish recordings into a six minute version of T. S Eliot's' the waste land' and it's all done, except for my final recital and two other practical exams.
a glass just shattered in my mouth. it was my fault really, i'd put hot water in it then cold straight away, and I was biting it. Still, nothing compares to a wednesday night spent spitting out shards of glass whilst waiting for a video to upload on facebook. This is modern student life. I was at work 'til eleven. Stupid Debenhams megaday. Hugely sucessful for the company, but walking home at that time? That isn't fun. Not by any stretch of the imagination. I've got loads of boring, housekeeping stuff to do tomorrow. Food shopping, buying an ink cartridge. Why has someone shouting "Andrew Linham" for the past twenty minutes? |

I have the new Half Man Half Biscuit album, CSI: Ambleside. Hurray. Also, the shops hardly stock any CDs now, it's all DVDs and games.
Rangers seem to have lost the UEFA cup final, but people are letting off fireworks round here anyway, presumably on the grounds that well, they've bought them, and it's a long time till Bonfire Night.
(Ha, I forgot to turn off shuffle on WMP, and Half Man Half Biscuit suddenly changed into David Tennant chattering at me. I was very confused.)
I want this t-shirt:
(That's Zoe, folks, not Wash. And there are some other good SF/ political t-shirts there too.)
And I want this chest of drawers:
Fractals. WIN.
Also, best rap about tea, ever. |

![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif) weweretogether
This isn't just another Doctor/Rose community, we want to do something a little bit different here. We feel that in other communities discussions often get buried under pages of fanfiction and that's why we created a place where discussion will be the main attraction. If you want to actually talk about the Doctor and Rose rather than just read about them, this is the community for you! Every day we post random pic/quote spams of great Doctor/Rose moments, and we'll be hosting discussions for the remaining episodes of series four as well! We want this to be a fun, interactive place to be!
What We're About
- It's no secret that some parts of fandom have a hostile attitude towards Rose and her relationship with the Doctor and because of that a lot of fans as well as communities have decided to lock their posts and moderate memberships. However, this community does not have moderated membership and we hope it never has to. All posts will remain unlocked. We have nothing to hide and we are not ashamed of our love for the Doctor and Rose.
- Anyone who enjoys the relationship between the Doctor and Rose is welcome to join. Whether you view their relationship as romantic or as simple friendship doesn't matter to us, as long as you are here to talk positively about them. However, if you are offended by the idea of the Doctor and Rose being romantically involved, this is not the community for you.
So go join weweretogether!
