     i am still alive, if barely, fighting the good fight. 

    i am 9 pounds less than when i got pregnant, and likely to continue falling. w00t! i really don't want to use hormone based birth control again, since i really do think that carrying a girl  may have restored the balance of my body to what it should be. 

    well, that's all you get for now. the girl is stirring to be fed, and this should be the feeding that leads to real bedtime.

    woooo
    A few years ago, a switch in my brain flipped, and I decided I was just done with mucks. I could still see the appeal but I just wasn't interested any more. Which was kind of bad because, well, my boyfriends do still like to muck, and like to have thoroughly impossible fantasy sex via that medium, and the disinterest in mucking pretty much corresponded with starting to live with them and have the relationship actually work out.

    A couple of weeks ago, that switch flipped back. I'm still getting all the cuddles and love I need, but I want more - I want impossibility. And I want it a lot more impossible than I ever dared to want it in the old days. So I reappeared on Furry, and on Taps. Ended up spending more time on Taps because, well, it's a lot crazier nowadays.

    And today, finally, after a week or two of abortive scheduling attempts, I finally scened with one of my boyfriends. All I can say is... wow. Because one of the things I'm always seeking is an emotional connection with the other person; that's one of the elements that has to be there for a great scene rather than a merely good one. And knowing unequivocally going in that, yes, the person on the other side of the screen loves me enough to sleep with me on a regular basis. tolerate all my foibles, and occasionally say with no prompting just how much better their life is for having me in it... that means that element is a given, there's no chance of me just reading a little too much into the text, and all that I have to worry about is making it beautiful, impossible, and erotic.

    And, in this case, dealing with three other people who got sucked into the scene. Yow.

    Blue bubbles float up from Kalinda's head and her yoni, swirling and popping with something like giggles...

    Precious (the film)
    Hey everyone,

    Is Precious showing anywhere in the New Orleans area? I can't find movie showtimes online.

    Thanks!

    Bunches Of Stuff
    Today is the 40th anniversary of Sesame Street. Here is how cool they are: They make me like Elmo and Adam Sandler... together, even. If you want to link up to any particular favorite video clips, go for it; I'll start with "Rubber Duckie, "Bein' Green", and "Batty Bat".

    The big video release today is Pixar's Up (Two-Disc Deluxe Edition + Digital Copy and 4 Disc Combo Pack with Digital Copy and DVD [Blu-ray] Anti-Planned-Obsolescence Edition). There's also Sesame Street: 40 Years of Sunny Days and, if you haven't got a version already, Watchmen: The Ultimate Cut (integrating Tales from the Black Freighter, Under the Hood, and possibly some other live-action footage). Anything else just released we need to know about?

    Happy Birthday, Neil Gaiman!

    My Friday concert at WindyCon was going to be TomBoat, i.e., me and Toyboat. Reasons of time and practicality deep-sixed that for this weekend, although we really, really want to do it soon (I hope CapriCon, possibly not till DucKon). So, I was gonna drag out a bunch of stuff I don't usually do. Any requests? ("Heat of the Blood" is excluded from this offer.)

    Dragon Age: Origins rocks really hard. It's funny: the forums are filled with people who can't get it to load, patch, work, nothin' (I've had no problems, apart from a single crash to Desktop); they complain because it's too hard, too easy, too old-school, too innovative, they hate that it's party-based, they want multiplayer and MMO; they say that the graphics are dated, and point to the game being in development for years. But BioWare did what they wanted to -- they created a new game world, which I think looks very good, with a superb, detailed story filled with rich characters and cool plot twists and astonishing detail. It's not a loot-fest, a click-fest, a FPS with orcs, or anything besides what it is. It's tough, at least to a duffer gamer like me; I set it to Easy, and I'm still getting slaughtered in some fights, the first or second time through. But dang is it rewarding, shocking, and fun. If you're interested, I think you will like it a lot. If not, no big.

    What's goin' on in your quadrant?

    A coworker linked me to this a couple days ago...

    As Jules Vern predicted the modern submarine, so did Oscar Wilde predict the modern liberal arts college.

    I've come to believe certain songs should be banned from airplay after they've been played too long. I'm thinking about "Still The One" by Orleans. Nobody really needs to hear this song anymore. It's done. And I'm sure you can think of other tracks that could be taken out of circulation. Like that 2 Unlimited track, or anything by Foreigner. I know you're with me on this one.

    Burning Life is over now and I didn't get to spend as much time there as I wanted but I did spend at least a couple of evenings flitting around talking with people and looking at artwork. I even met a few burners. Keen.

    This is probably the most common appearance for Aura BTW. I really should have got some photos of Alexia too. Ohwell.

    Burning Life is kind of weird in that it all feels like deep playa. There's nothing like the Espanade. Though for what it's worth, I'm really more of a deep playa sort anyhow.

    Traffic ticket: go to court, or no?
    I recently got a ticket in Orleans Parish for going through a stop sign. It's my first traffic ticket in Orleans Parish. Every other city/state I've lived in, when I got tickets I either went to court and won my case easily, or there was an option (California) to sit through "traffic school" for an evening and get the ticket wiped from my record.

    From what I understand (from friends and from calling the city today and asking), my options here are:
    1) Go to traffic court and represent myself. But if I don't win, I pay not only the amount of the ticket ($180) but also "court costs" plus, of course, the violation stays on my driving record. Other possible outcomes are that I win and it all goes away, or I can get the fine reduced. My girlfriend told me she cried in front of the traffic judge once and they took pity on her.

    2) Hire a lawyer (can do this for $200 through a friend of a friend) to represent me in traffic court. But possibly the lawyer won't win either or they will only get the fine reduced and then I still pay everything plus the lawyer, too.

    3) Just pay and suck it up.

    Of course, the cost of everything is a concern. I am most concerned about my car insurance premiums going up because of a ticket on my record. My job is super busy right now, and actually this week is particularly busy and doesn't leave me a lot of time to sit around waiting to talk to the traffic judge in the court house. However, I think I could call or go to court and reschedule the court date?

    What are people's experiences? What do you advise? Have you been successful in going to traffic court yourself and winning (best case scenario)? What about this hiring a layer thing, which I've never even heard of anyone I know doing for a traffic ticket before I moved to New Orleans.

    I imagine I will get many different perspectives, but I am interested in hearing people's input because, well, how do I put this... the municipal and legal system in Louisiana works very differently than any other state I've ever lived in, and I'm a little concerned about proceeding without as much information as I can get.

    Thanks.

    Okay, I'm A Rachael Ray Fan
    I admit it. I think she's sexy as hell. Sometimes she goes overboard on the perky, and sometimes her voice grates; she's freakin' ubiquitous in the book and magazine sections of the grocery store, and damn near it on food packages.

    But.

    This is just being a good human being. Even if they're getting TV footage out of it.

    Today's a really good day to kick in something to your local food bank. If you don't know where it is, visit your grocery or supermarket -- they should have some information at least, if not a full-blown donation program. Or visit Feeding America. Or some other place, which I'm sure you'll mention in comments. ;)

    J. Bradley @ The Zeitgeist
    Sunday, November 8 @ 5pm – Zeitgeist (1618 Oretha Castle Haley Blvd).  I’m doing a full set of poems from and not from Dodging Traffic.  Hope to see y'all there. (iheartfailure.net)

    "J. Bradley is the Veruca Salt of the literary chocolate factory, writing with a satirical brazenness that leaves cavities among the readers eyes. There is a sugary darkness to his work and a lackadaisical charm; that of a black-market dental hygienist. J. delivers new audacity, important romance, and certainty. He acknowledges the sensational ugly without apprehension. His ideas are of an entirely different species and his wit knocks at postmodern... stunned today, laughing tomorrow. Dodging Traffic is the classic, the sequel will forever envy." - Sarah Morgan, author of Animal Ballistics

    JESUS SAVES...

    ...YOU TEN DOLLARS AT TARGET!!!!


    So... This door hanger is from the most obnoxious church in the area. Right wing and (as demonstrated, the very classy variety of right-wing nuts at that)

    If I had a few more friends and lots of ambition, I'd suggest organizing a flash mob. Have maybe a thousand or so people show up and demand their gift cards and possibly bankrupt the psychos so they stop sending out stuff like this. If anyone has any friends in Anonymous who recognize that Scientology isn't really much more of a scam than any other major religion, send them this. Maybe they can do something with it.

    Or does God reserve the right to refuse service to anyone? I wonder...
