    Transformers
     Me, Tim and Didy saw it last night:

    The review: "This film was saved by your mom" 
    Visuals are impressive.  Camera work is fixed from previous pile.
    Whole movie was a big recruit poster for the US military.
    As Didy put it  "This film is full of suck."  Sums it up nice

    I do not understand why Vicki's funeral has hit me so hard...

    Vicki's Funeral
     Vicki's funeral was this morning

    I wanted to post to share a few things that people may not have known about Vicki:

    She had never been able to get a GED here in Quebec because she has no french, but recently, she had gone back to school to get her GED so that she could get a better education and then go to a college for Jewelry design.   In fact, she was to complete this in 2 weeks, had this not happened.

    I found that impressive about her, and I thought I would share it with you

    Thanks to Nala, Lindsay, Kevin and Eohippus for being there

    History
     My friends, we have just witnessed history

    I, never in a million years, thought the americans would elect a black man as president .. EVER

    As Margaret Cho said when she got her TV show, "it means on a very fundamental level, that America -works- and that things are getting better in our lifetime"
    The Berlin wall was the other event I witnessed, now we witnessed this

    Whatever happens now, even if he is shot, the very fact that he was elected at all means that the USA has taken a step, come forward, things just MIGHT be getting better

    This has restored my faith in the USA
    I may even attend US cons again

    A fascinating excerpt from a foreword into HP Lovecraft:
     This is taken from HP Lovecraft "Tales of the Bizarre and Macabre"
    from the foreword "Heritage of Horror" by Robert Bloch:

    " In recent years Ted White, former editor of Amazing and Fantastic expressed the belief that this sort of "sick" writing is the product of a "sick" mind -- and suggested that anyone attracted to it is also "sick."

    The notion is interesting, but its revisionist attitude towards literature could have far-reaching implications.  If safeguarding our mental health requires us to avoid the work of those whose life-styles depart from the accepted norm, then our bookshelves would soon be stripped bare.  The literary efforts of chronic alcoholics, drug addcits, sexual deviants, and victims of psychosis with suical tendencies can indeed be dismissed*, but we must be preapred to accept the consequences.

    We will, of course, lose the efforts of Poe, Hawthorne, de Maupaussant, and Kafka.  But we will also be deprived of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Huckleberry Finn, Moby-Dick, Crime and Punishment, A Farewell to Arms, The Great Gatsby, Remembrance of Things Past, and hundreds of other titles that some regard as literary mastgerpieces.  We must avoid O Henry, Katherine Mansfield, Sherwood Anderson, Viriginia Woolf, Jack London, Candre Gide, Thomas Wolfe, Somerset Maugham, Sinclair Lewis, Jean Cocteau, Christopher Isherwood, William Faulkner and Oscar Wilde, to name only a few.  The same applies to such diverse talents as Dashiell Hammet, Nietzsche, Brendan Behan, Raymond Chandler, Schopenhauer, and Hans Christian Andersen.  Poets would vanish; Byron, Auden, Baudelaire, Rimbaud, Dylan Thomas, Edna St. Vinvent Millay, Swinburne, Verlaine, Hart Crane, Walt Whitman.  We would also cast into oblivion the plays of Marlowe, Genet, Tennessee Williams, Eugene O'Neill, Noel Coward and--according to some authorities--the complete works of William Shakespeare.

    It seems a high price to pay for our mental hygene.."

    *side note - I don't agree with these few words.  The word of a suicidal psychotic is liable to be crap, but I don't believe in dismissing it outright because the author IS a psychotic, particularly out of fear of catching his psychosis.   I haven't checked with a clinical pathologist, but I am pretty sure that none of these conditions can be trasmitted through text.

    Enough piles up to make an entry...
     Today I found something truly remarkable:

    In my room (which is a nuclear test area), I found a pair of pants that were actually eating a pair of shorts. The belt buckle on the pants had actually opened, and then closed onto the shorts - that's pretty impressive

    Another thing Livejournal-worthy is: How come everywhere I go lately, I see shoes on the highway? I've seen no less than 9 abandoned shoes in the past 3 months. Where the heck are they coming from (please don't say feet)

    I managed, dumb wolf that I am, to bust my new baby acer: It's a linux based mini-PC and I needed WPA2 Enterprise for work, so I followed instructions I found on the web and managed to kill the Network manager, and without the web it's not much use (dopey wolf) Anybody got an external DVD drive (USB?)

    Google flubs: Google Chrome is released yesterday, but ironically not in iGoogle - so they didn't want their loyal customers to see it? I have a feeling a head is rolling somewhere in the land of google

    Well, think that's all the wild and wackies

    I could do one of those "I'm back from Feral! and boy are my arms tired.." things but.. seriously
