| 7:23 pm | Naruto, Meme I haven't mentioned lately that I love Sound. I still fucking love Sound. Weeks of Kabuto backstory. Sasuke and Itachi working together. And now Orochimaru? Specifically, a glimpse into the Orochimaru/Sasuke mentor-student dynamic? (I always presumed that (older, post-Konoha) Orochimaru was likely a surprisingly competent teacher, even though there's really no suggestion in the manga up to this point that that was the case. However, everything about his stance and expression in this chapter was exactly what I presumed-- patient, curious, etc. Squee, squee, squee!) Naruto's been kind of catering to me lately. I do rather enjoy it. Ask Me Anything Meme Stolen from ze  bleed_peroxideBasically, a free-for-all for you guys to be nosy, or if you're newer, to figure out shit you're not really clear on. I'm enabling the anon option-- as soon as I remember how-- in case you don't feel comfortable asking something "face-to-face", as it were. I'm also posting it with the hopes that it spreads - sometimes with LiveJournal and such the way it is, people change and you're like, "Wait, so what was that? I don't remember.

| 7:23 pm | Whip It! Whip It was a fucking great movie. Oh my god, that was awesome. Now I am really, really disappointed that it didn't do well in theaters. Ellen Page is such a phenomenal actress, and Drew Barrymore was perfect, both acting and directing. WHO WANTS TO GO SEE SOME FUCKING ROLLER DERBY? HELLS YES! I am totally going to catch some games in St. Paul when I can afford it. |
| 7:23 pm | Stupid, insensitive politician alert. Lt. Gov. Andre Bauer compared government assistance for low-income families to "feeding stray animals". My grandmother was not a highly educated woman but she told me as a small child to quit feeding stray animals. You know why? Because they breed. You're facilitating the problem if you give an animal or a person ample food supply. They will reproduce, especially ones that don't think too much further than that. And so what you've got to do is you've got to curtail that type of behavior. They don't know any better." Classism will be the last great -ism to come crashing down, because people are always willing to blame the poor and lower-class for their situation. "If they just got a job..." "If they just worked harder..." "If they focused on getting an education..." "If they saved some money..." "If they weren't so lazy..." NO. No one deserves to live in poverty. This isn't a lifestyle choice; this is a systematic failure. |
| 7:23 pm | Political News I might do this more seriously if I know that anyone's reading it. The news is freaking wacky shit, kids. Let's start with this dude-- Allen Quist, a Republican who is seeking to defeat Rep. Tim Walz in southern Minnesotas First Congressional District, who claims that liberals-- NAY! RADICALS!-- are a bigger threat to this country than terrorists. ...god damn it. Stop trying to out-crazy Michele Bachmann, people. This is not a contest where anyone wins. Then there's Sarah Palin, who is still talking for some reason. She thinks that having an expert in Constitutional law as commander-in-chief is dumb. Also, apparently she "forgot" that the Shoe Bomber was tried in federal courts during the Bush years. Republicans don't think Obama says the word "terror"...which is just false. And meanwhile, this jerkass is trying to raise campaign money by using the fear of terrorism renewed by the would-be Underpants Bomber. This is also pretty ridonkulous: sending female soldiers lipstick and Cosmo-- really? That seems a little, uh, generic. And insulting. Probable triggers in these*: The battle for reproductive rights is ON in Wisconsin. That article brought my attention to this little gem of WTFry from the Human Life Alliance: I am familiar with no case of incest-related abortion that did not make matters worse for the victim. Really? No case? None? Ever? REALLY? And a just and righteous skewering: Brit Hume claims that the only way Tiger Woods can make any (emotional/professional/etc.) comeback is to drop Buddhism and convert to Christianity. Jon Stewart and Aasif Mandvi take this on brilliantly. EDIT: This snarky ridicule bothers me. Maybe it's because I'm a great, big, fat, raging GEEK with pre-existing clinical depression, but I admit that I often feel upset/sad/depressed to realize that the fictional worlds I love don't exist and never will. __ * I'm guessing; I admit that I actually have no idea what triggers other's traumas. But it's better to be safe and label it, right? |
| 7:23 pm | WTF NO. Missouri State Representative Cynthia Davis (R) thinks families who are going hungry are just learning motivation. Yeah. Not fucking kidding. Why have meals at home with your loved ones if you can go to the government soup kitchen and get one for free? This could have the effect of breaking apart more families. Anyone under 18 can be eligible? Cant they get a job during the summer by the time they are 16? Hunger can be a positive motivator. What is wrong with the idea of getting a job so you can get better meals? Tip: If you work for McDonalds, they will feed you for free during your break.(*) Families may economize by choosing to not waste hard earned dollars on potato chips, ice cream, or Twinkies. Perhaps some families will buy more beans and chicken and less sweets. They are using a "crisis" to create an expansion of a government program. Parents naturally love their children and enjoy caring for their children just as much as ever during an economic downturn...Laid off parents could adapt by preparing more home cooked meals rather than going out to eat. The problem of childhood obesity has been cited as one of the most rapidly growing health problems in America. People who are struggling with lack of food usually do not have an obesity problem. Honestly, this is so sickening, so ignorant, so heartless, it knocks me speechless. __ * Also, this is not true. |
| 7:23 pm | This is IMPORTANT. HEY, HEY. A knowledgeable friend-- one who works in the industry-- told me this tonight: IN JULY, THERE WILL BE A NEW STUDENT LOAN REPAYMENT OPTION: INCOME-BASED. PAYMENTS CAN BE AS LOW AS ZERO (dollars/month). That's not all. There's also going to be a student loan forgiveness program for people working in certain job sectors. In this case, after ten years all remaining debt will be forgiven. In other words, NOW is the time to start paying attention to any outstanding student debt. Collect company names, phone numbers, and account numbers-- you're going to need them come July! Check it out! |
