Yes, I am your target demographic
I like buying cute baby and kid clothes generally, but I usually manage to avoid going nuts. However, my geek soul breaks loose at times. If you put a dinosaur, a robot, or a spaceship on it, I'll probably buy it. (Yes, my son has Walle-E bedclothes. Don't judge me!) Penguins, too, as long as they are cute penguins. If you put a periodic table on it, I'll probably buy three and give two as gifts. Ditto scientific formula jokes... ...and maybe references to Where the Wild Things Are (the book. There is no movie. Lalala.) Also, not related to kids or clothes, but when various types of weird esoteric humor intersect is usually when I laugh the hardest. Like, lighbulb jokes that require understanding of obscure religious practices or folklore. (Maybe also obscure Star Trek alien cultures, Silmarillion trivia, or fandom meta.) Earlier today I read a lightbulb joke that was a parody of the ballad of Tam Lin. That makes it a very good Monday. | | Thursday, November 5th, 2009 | | 11:00 am |
And also, lazy sparky wants icons
If anyone folks on my f-list or abroad on the internet are bored and want to make me icons, or happen to know where to find the ones I want... I want Heroine Addict icons with Dee from BSG and Damphousse from Space: Above and Beyond. I can trade you something for 'em. Maybe fic, depending on your fandoms. | | 10:52 am |

Health Care Reform

Religion squee, UU edition
I took the kids to church last Sunday. I was running late so I thought it might not be worth it, but then they were both being so awful I decided we needed to go before they drove me completely nuts. It was a multigenerational service, but I had no compunction about leaving both kids in the nursery without a backward glance. (Nor should you, other parents of wriggly, loud children, which is to say, all children.) Kid Sparky had been saying all week he wanted to go play with his church friends, so yay, mission accomplished. The deal was it was an Ingathering, and Water Communion, and we were all supposed to bring water from our summer travels. So I was going to get water from the Science Museum and the YMCA, cuz that's where we went mostly, but of course I didn't. So I came late and got to sit in the back and not feel bad about my lack of participation, except when an usher tried to get me to volunteer, but I resisted. It was just really wonderful. There was new art up in the sanctuary and it was really beautiful. (Nature scenes? Now I can't remember.) And wonderful music, and the choir director was trying to talk people into singing, dancing, celebrating as much as possible. I like that; I never feel like if you don't do that anyone minds. YMMV, I suppose. The place was packed, and there were lots of kids. I got to sit next to a baby a few months older than Baby Sparky, and I got to meet Brand New Baby E, who is awesome in his sleepy new baby kind of way. (And OMG so much hair! But I think that about all babies with hair.) Also I am glad they moved the offering collection to the end of the service, so my late butt can still contribute. At coffee hour I got to see lots of people and lots of people were delighted to meet and remark upon the baby. The parenting covenant group is starting up soon; I really missed it over the summer. I feel really connected and supported in this church, which obviously I need a lot some days. If we end up moving I hope we can find another place just as good. At least the chances seem pretty good in New England. Current Mood:  cheerful | | Monday, August 31st, 2009 | | 4:53 pm |
Help!
I'm drowning in office politics! | | Wednesday, August 26th, 2009 | | 1:31 pm |
How to honor my memory
Amanda at Pandagon: "...the occasion of Ted Kennedy’s death---and Paul Wellstone’s before it---makes it clear that anyone who is a liberal in the public eye at all should explicitly spell out their wishes about the “politicization” of their deaths, or else the wingnuts will declare that the only proper way to honor your legacy is to start by undermining it. So, in the event of my passing, I want it to be clear these are my wishes: 1) Please honor me by continuing to fight for the liberal causes I held dear. 2) Explicitly state in any obituaries, memorial services, etc. that what I would have wanted was to keep the fight going 3) Impassioned speeches about the fight ahead for progressivism are especially welcome 4) Indeed, the only way to honor my memory is to double down and fight for a better world." And commenter Donna Diva: "Politicize my death, too, please. In lieu of flowers." A-frakking-men. If I ever get anywhere near the public eye, or even if I don't. A really cheap funeral will be fine, if the money is redirected to the cause. | | Tuesday, August 25th, 2009 | | 3:34 pm |

Meme!
Female characters tend not to have as much love in Fandom as males as a whole. It's most likely an outcome that results from a number of factors - I'm not just going to blame it on institutional misogyny, I don't think it's that simple. But I still don't like it. So, why not give the women and girls in your fandom/s a bit of love - Post with some of your favourite fictional females, and tell us why you like them. And pass it on!This is like my crib sheet. I would like to expound on the awesome, but I have so many...(IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER) Uhura. Saavik. Amanda. T'Pring. Eowyn. Galdriel. LuthienMelian. Haleth. Idril. Arwen. Ioreth. Rosie. Mystique. Jean. Ororo. Rogue. (not actually in my fandom but still awesome) Destiny. Ana Maria. Elizabeth. Calypso. Elizabeth. Teyla. Cadman. Miko. Simpson. Carter. Novak. Cassidy Yates!!! Kira. Dax. Kai Winn.Natima. Melora. Ziyal. Keiko. Zoe. Kaylee. River. Inara. Saffron. Patience. Damphousse. Vansen. also, not really a fan, but gotta give em props anyway: Roslin. Starbuck. Dee. Boomer. Sharon. Gena. Cain. etc. I just realized I should have used a heroine addict icon for this. But this is my fandom userpic. I wish I had a "Heroine Addict" icon with Cassidy Yates! | | Sunday, June 21st, 2009 | | 8:22 am |
Religion squee, June addition
I went to a Midsummer Blot last night, and it was fantastic. I even managed to show up on time, despite getting the directions wrong twice. There was poetry and singing and drumming and magical herbs and really good rune chanting, both as part of the planned ritual and at the end for people's requested workings. Awesome all around. Due to the park rules, there was no actual fire nor any actual alcohol, which was vaguely disappointing, but there was a beautiful simulated bonfire that we got to leap, and everyone was really friendly and it was just a wonderful experience. I could use one of those, too. I wanted to stay for food, but had to respond to an urgent text re: baby meltdown. I guess I will make a point of taking her in the future, up until she's old enough to be really disruptive. I would love to get an actual bonfire one of these years, but the tradeoff for having the dramatic mountain park surrounding us was plenty worth it, and I really can't imagine a better experience. In conclusion: YAY! | | 8:15 am |
Midsummer! + Bonus social life
I totally had a dinner party last night. I was tyrs_adherent's idea; he found an alluring ham at Costco. And then I tried to invite a bunch of people I know from church and they didn't respond, but I actually made personal phone calls (!!!) and then some people came. And there was a toddler that played with Kid Sparky, and they liked us and our home theatre and our dining table and even our baby. I mean, I already know them from church, so I thought they would continue to like us, but it was really awesome how comfortable the whole thing was. And y'all know me; I am not comfortable with anything social (on a personal level), ever. Also, awesome tasty ham and sweet potatoes and corn and fruit salad and cupcakes. | | Wednesday, June 17th, 2009 | | 6:18 am |
Dread Pirate Jan
Gov and legislature are playing chicken with shutting down the government. So we don't know on a given day if we'll be going to work the next day. Of course, once there actually is a budget, it'll be the same situation cuz it's a huge cut to our agency funds. I feel like I work for the Dread Pirate Roberts. | | Wednesday, May 20th, 2009 | | 3:47 pm |
Sounds almost right
Except I would have thought maybe dwarf, and why is it making me a druid-cleric when my wisdom isn't high?

One thought on RaceFail
So, there are scifi authors who contend that fen of color are...nonexistent, or at least unimportant? Have they noticed who is president of the US lately? ?!?! How can you have that much fail? | | Friday, May 8th, 2009 | | 1:18 am |

Star Trek is hell of a drug
Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! My irrepressible squee shall grow vaster than empires and more FUCKING AWESOME Under the cut there will be MASSIVE SPOILERS! (Unless I forget in my excitement to be explicit, but you're being warned.) ( Read more... ) | | Thursday, March 19th, 2009 | | 4:15 am |
Films
I would like to write a Watchmen review. We saw it, I liked (loved?) it, must now go purchase and read the book. We had trailers for Wolverine (squee!) and Star Trek. I really, really didn't want to see Star Trek, but then there were shots of John Cho being awesome. I could put up with a lot to see John Cho being awesome. | | Tuesday, March 10th, 2009 | | 2:15 pm |
Troth web presence confusing me
So, I'm a Troth member and I get the lovely and amazing magazine. But am I supposed to be on some kind of internet mailing list or board? 'Cuz I don't think I am, nor do I know how to become so. I would really like to be able to ask Heathen questions somewhere... And somebody posted a similiar question on the PaganSpace page with no reply. And my office blocks MySpace but not PaganSpace, which makes me laugh. Current Mood:  groggyCurrent Music: Ravencast, yay! |
