Goodbye, LJ.

quick and dirty Fury Road response
First, read this editorial.
I've been waiting for someone to bring up the "how Fury Road isn't actually that feminist" points. It's the next conversation that we need to have.
In reading interviews about Fury Road, it drove me crazy how everyone referred to "essential woman-ness" because, can we NOT with the essentializing women as soft and ( Read more... ) -
"normcore"
I'd heard the word "normcore" and knew the obvious, that it referred to "normal" looking people, but until yesterday I had no idea what the idea actually was. NY Mag did a feature on it last year. Now that I know, I find myself very confused. I am not sure how this idea has any relevance to anyone who isn't rich and famous (barring the extreme ( Read more... ) -

on the 3 of Swords
Follow up on the tattoo artist hunt: turns out that Mike Moses is going back to Ohio...uh, right about now (he has a new shop opening in Feb). So, that pretty much narrows it down to Seth (unless I find someone else I love, before I get a consult). Seth is almost undoubtedly more expensive, but flying to Ohio would quickly make up the difference ( Read more... ) -
Music 101
Oh hai guys, I updated my semi-pro music blog. ("semi pro" in that I try not to swear and there are no dick jokes.)
Have you ever wondered how someone sets about composing a piece of music? Well, I try to explain here. I'm sure there's a lot I couldn't cover, so if anyone has any followup questions, feel free ( Read more... ) -
my thoughts on the Mad Men finale and Pete
There are vague spoilers here but nothing major.
Another season finale ends with Don pissing me off. Keep it in your pants and see a therapist, for christ's sake. Megan is not going to leave you because she gets her own career! (I know he didn't do anything, but the point is, he's thinking about it again ( Read more... )
