free media to join the galaxy of free media
I miss teaching, which begs the question (I know that's a wrong use of 'begs the question', but what's the idiom for something that really does beg for a question to be asked?) of why I don't just do it. Maybe I should do some audio lectures. We have the technology. What would be a good audio lecture thing to do? |

confusing logos
so what is that, a scented candle and a crocheted moose that someone left out in a jungle on a planet orbiting a white dwarf? |

I think it might be better if this version of the health care bill failed. |

Livejournal has announced the mandatory gender thing was a big mistake and they're not doing it. |

lj
Why not take this opportunity to set your LJ account's gender to "unspecified"? Rumor has it LJ is going to remove that option and require you to set a binary gender at account creation (no word on precisely how this will affect accounts that already exist.) Send LJ a feedback. |

But.... it's Berlusconi
If you didn't follow all the links on my Berlusconi post, you missed this gem, so I'm reposting it. Quote of the day, from the escort phone calls. Tarantini is procuring for the Prime Minister. D'Addario is an escort. Tarantini: I wanted to tell you that I will come with the driver at 9.15 to pick you up and we will go there.
...
D’Addario: And a thousand for the night.
Tarantini: I have already given you a thousand and if you stay with him he will give you a gift on his own.. ah.. you will also see that he doesn’t use condoms...
D’Addario:.. But it is not going to happen without it. How will I feel safe?
Tarantini: But... it’s Berlusconi... Condom Usage with the Italian PM FTW |

Over the top, Jesi! Do you want to live forever?
Found Chanukah/Hanukkah candles. At the Temple. Nobody else had 'em. This area - which I realize I need a clever blog name for, as Honkytonkia was one I used for Nashville - is a front on the War on Christmas. Maryville, a jerkwater burg just south of here, apparently canceled the bible reading at the local town-square christmas dealie because of a complaint. I don't get that, because ... Christmas celebration is okay but bible no? Sounds like six crucifixes of one vs half a dozen virgin marys of the other. So the fundie twittersphere went all monkeyshines about it. Also that story about the pastor in San Deigo or wherever who has this big prayer meeting in his house every week, and the county zoning drones are on him about not having parking for all those people, so fundieverse tweeted "Pastor Arrested for Not Having State Permit to Worship Jesus", even though nobody was arrested and the citation itself was crap and the county already apologized, though they still want him to do something about the parking. But They Hate Christians, you know. They, the ones in power, the vast Majority of Americans who, uh, aren't Christian somehow? I guess Power lies with the Atheists and Muslins. Gourd thy Onions for a fright, Christian Solderers! Of course, there's also the War on Chanukah/Hanukkah. Obama continued the slightly creepy Bush era tradition of a Chanukah/Hanukkah party (creepy because with Bush it was all a crypto 'Israel's wars will bring the Second Coming of Christ' vibe), and it was erroneously reported that Bush invited like a thousand people and Obama only 300, and the invite didn't say Chanukah/Hanukkah specifically, so Obama is Taking the Jews for Granted. Because he is a Muslin and there is a War on Chanukah/Hanukkah. When really the only war on the holiday I can see is that the division in spelling is dividing the hashtags and preventing it from trending on Twitter. |

bad
I added someone whose journal looks good, and they added me back, and then just as quickly unfriended me. I guess this journal is bad. |

Avatar
I am of two minds about Avatar. I was half hoping that it would be a disaster and ruin Cameron's career because he's a pretty big schmuck in my opinion. But I was also hoping it would be good because I actually enjoyed Titanic for the big spectacle it was. Well, it looks like I'll be getting half of my wish. Maybe. I'll be the judge of Avatar when I get to go see it. |

there are no jews
Sometimes I say it doesn't really matter where I am; most places are alike. Today, though, no. I couldn't buy Hanukah candles. Nobody stocks 'em around here. I have never lived somewhere where you couldn't just buy a box at the grocery. There's surely someplace that stocks Hanukah candles. If nobody else the Hillel will know. So I'm sure I can find 'em. It's just weird, though. Nobody around here thought of it. The guy at Kroger thought they might have some at the Everything Christmas! warehouse store down Dollywood way. Yeah, no, I'm not going there. |
