the post birthday post
Despite the grim warnings Friday night seemed to be throwing out I actually had a pretty fantastic birthday. Not the usual sort of thing LA thing - no wild party with much drunkenness (which has pretty much been my modus operendi for years and years), but instead a series of events that were all together entertaining.

The ice cream social sounds great! I'm glad to hear we're not the only ones freezing. ;)
I do not think I would like inglorious basterds (as per the movie posters), though. It does not seem EB friendly.
Love you bunches!

and yeah, it was a little weird to be eating ice cream, but oh well! :D
I do not think inglorious basterds is eb friendly either. But don't worry, according to Neil & D it's really not worth it anyway :D so you're NOT missing out.
*squishes you to pieces*
love you too darling girl.

Database animals, that's a strange designation (reminds me of the incredibly well-organised AniDB.net, but whatever). Is that meant to dismiss (Japanese) Otaku culture as something a computer could generate?

And happily no, although it is a weird position he's taking (and frankly, i'm still in the introduction). But the jist of his argument as I understand it is that in this particular postmodernist time the fan/otaku has lost all sense of history and instead lives in the present, uninterested in plumbing 'deeper meaning' but instead interested in remixing, creating, and interacting - creating databases of facts and combining them... and this is somehow animal-like. He wants to take otaku culture seriously - and bridge the popular with critical theory - but it sounds like he might be getting a bit reductive about what fans are doing.
I'll post a review when I'm done though, because I can't say for sure now :D
