So! A few things about the news announcement last night:

LJ says that you have to be logged into Facebook or Twitter to make things crosspost, and I don't know if it's that I'm on a mac running firefox? But I'm logged in and the options are grayed out for me. I also don't have Facebook or Twitter linked to LJ.
Locked posts are still locked posts. Even if someone makes a comment on your locked post and sends it to twitter, other people can't then automatically see the contents of your post by clicking on the link. People have always been able to link to shit all over the good goddamn if they wanted to, so this isn't actually a huge change.
I didn't realize so many people did the tab-return thing to post comments; now they're all "I must tab three times now!" But if the boxes are grayed out surely the tab skips them? (I can't check; I'm on a mac running firefox so it doesn't work for me.)
I like pingbacks; I think they're sort of cool. But they only work on public posts, and you can turn them off here
Finally, I have like 15 Dreamwidth invite codes if anyone wants one.

Anyway, protest registered, blah blah blah, but mostly I just want a ginger cat.

God, I feel like an actual human being again. Hurrah!

I also feel like I only sort of read anything that anyone said over the last week, so this afternoon I'm going back through stuff. Expect belated comments. I also still need to move some icons over to the DW journal so I'm not always using this one.

For those not following me on Twitter, in the last 24 hours I have made:

Gazpacho with tofu
Pasta salad with broiled chicken, ww penne, steamed broccoli and sundried tomatoes
Roasted corn for taco salad (the black beans were already cooked and in the freezer)
Zucchini pancakes (after I abandoned zucchini bread due to too much zucchini)
Raspberry-rhubarb pie (my absolute favorite!)

I feel very Iowa today. My Aunt Arlene always made zucchini pancakes, only she made them with more batter than I did and called them "critters" because the shredded zucchini stuck out looked like little legs. By rights I should have made a gooseberry pie like Grandma, but rhubarb is what I had. Also the portion of the

startrekbigbang fic I'm writing today takes place in Iowa.

Got some fannish good news but more about that later.

ironic product placement is only ok if you take no money & beyond that give all the income to something ironic. like the Klan. —Amanda Palmer

(That link takes you to

sparkymonster's entry, in which there are many photos of the product placement in Lady Gaga's "Telephone" video along with photos of various Klan activities. Work safe, but definitely disturbing.)

I find people who are outrageous for the sake of being outrageous to be seriously uninteresting, even more uninteresting than the people who are boring and middle-of-the-road, because at least those people know who they are and what they're doing. Celine Dion, for example, is very upfront that she's making music to be played in the background of people's lives, and you know, you have to respect that at least she knows where she fits in.

What I find even worse about the outrageous types is that if you're not on their train, then you don't understand art, don't understand their "journey", you're too conventional, whatever. Which I find incredibly, incredibly cowardly, the "you just don't get me" rationale. And that message is very effective, especially for people who think of themselves as open and are actually trying. (The people that don't have already wandered off.) They're the ones who really want the Emperor to be wearing, well, at least a thong.

Which is all to say, I didn't know of Amanda Palmer before she got together with her man, not that I really keep tabs on him either but the union showed up on

fandomsecrets so I heard her name. (Though I do keep confusing it with Laura Palmer from Twin Peaks.) And thanks to a mention about some previous controversy in another post, I found her defensive blog entry about the Evelyn Evelyn matter.

And honestly, I don't want to listen to her music, because I really can't get on board with whatever she thinks her program is. It seems, to me, self-indulgent and attempting to step up to the line of offense without going over—to "make people think" as she says. When she's challenged, she starts hollering about context—when no one gets any context on twitter; that's the genius and the horror of it. Well, I think that she likes playing with fire, but blames her audience when she gets burned. And I don't have a lot of sympathy for that.

Well, the Olympics are over, which is probably good for me because I was watching too much TV anyway. Now I'm back to listening to music instead of Chad Salmela shouting about cross-country skiing. That said, the cross-country events, including biathlon and Nordic combined, were by far my favorites of the entire Games, and I'm not alone in that. Also I'm glad that Canada won hockey and got the most golds, even though medal counts are so Cold War.
Though that closing ceremony was some crazy town. Are closing ceremonies ever particularly good?
Timothy Olyphant's new show Justified premieres on FX on March 16th, conveniently after White Collar's finale. You can see the trailer here on ew.com. I hope it does well so he doesn't have to keep being awesome in mediocre horror movies in order to pay his mortgage.
You know that study that found a correlation between liberal political beliefs, atheism, and male monogamy on the one hand and higher IQ on the other? First, the thing is full of holes—how long have we been talking about IQ being culturally based? Second, it's evolutionary psychology, which this outstanding Newsweek article takes apart and doesn't bother to put back together again. I could say more, but it's really all in the Newsweek article. Ev psych, kinda shitty.
Which reminds me, does anyone else feel like the whole gay animals thing is proving the wrong point? Will finding gay animals make gay people more "natural" for anyone? And will homosexuality being "natural" or "biological" really mean anything for equality or changes in attitudes? Because many other groups are "natural" but that hasn't done much for their status.
And then there was that huge article in the NYT Magazine this Sunday that once again tried to say that depression is "creative." For those of you that don't know, I've been struggling with clinical depression since I got out of college, though probably before then as well, and when I'm in a really severe depressive episode I don't create fuckall. I barely get out of bed. I mean, didn't Elizabeth Wurtzel already say this twenty years ago? Anyway, here's Foster Kamer on the subject:
There's nothing good about depression. It sucks. Here's what to tell people who're depressed: get some fucking help. See a shrink. A good one. If you need them, get some fucking drugs. And that you love them, and that it's gonna get better, and it's gonna get better just by trying. And that you love them. And then love them.

Current Mood: awake

Because you know on Saturday morning I get all think-y, this morning I'm wondering if TWoP's time has passed.

I stopped following

metafandom in December for a variety of reasons, but what I missed was

sprat's post about Jacob on TWoP being all anti-fanfic. And apparently he's done it again! (You can see my thoughts on this matter in the comments of the second link.)

Reading that this morning, I realized I haven't read any of Jacob's recaps yet this season. I often don't for the auditions, which I don't care for anyway, but I'm finding that my recapping needs are being filled very well by Slezak on ew.com, former Idolator editor Maura Johnston on Fancast, and the AV Club. And the reason I like those recaps is that they talk about the music, which Jacob refuses to do because he, in that music snob way, thinks that Idol isn't about music. But what Idol isn't about is the kind of music Pitchfork tells you, Jacob the Austin hipster, is okay to like.

Plus there are a lot of places to get recaps these days! And many of those places have folks who have more of an interest in the subject of the show, especially for reality shows, than the recappers on TWoP. I'm not always fond of what Tom and Lorenzo have to say about red carpet looks, but their coverage of Project Runway is by far the best. The EW recapper for SYTYCD is a dancer. And the recappers for scripted shows on EW and AV Club have much more interesting things to say than the TWoP recappers, I've found, possibly because they're writing about entertainment all the time.

(Part of this might also be my own snark fatigue. I just kicked Gawker off my feed in favor of The Awl.)

Has TWoP's time passed? Are you still reading recaps there, and if so which ones?

Current Mood: awake

In order to explain and justify my decision, I need to take you back in time a bit.

( short version: I know it's plebey, but I really like iTunes )

Somehow being tech-practical or tech-individual fifteen years ago was comfortable, but being so now feels seriously uncool, naive and subject to ridicule. I'm not sure if it's because I've aged into the dreaded and much hated by internet geeks middle-aged-mom demographic—which probably means I should just lump it and trade in the ibook for an ipad—or if it's that I know more people who are critical of how others use devices. Likely treating my iPhone as an iPod that has a phone in it, or caring about carrying one device, rather than appropriately thinking of it as a tiny computer in my pocket, is making all of you wince right now. But I really love music!

Current Mood: drained

So I got a tumblr: http://clio-jlh.tumblr.com/ If you're there, let me know, and definitely tell me who I should be following! I'm all at sea. So far I'm following some HIMYM thing,

rawles,

bhanesidhe, and Maura Johnston who was lamely fired as editor of the originally Gawker-owned music blog Idolator when she was the only thing that made it worth reading.

I'm going to move all posting that I make about music over to Tumblr because you can actually upload music to it, which you can't do here. Doing the whole Grooveshark thing is tedious and makes everything load slowly and blah blah blah. On top of that, Tumblr has a "like" feature which might make me feel a little better about posting, as people don't have to comment. I'm excited to re-start that 50 Perfect Songs project I abandoned earlier this year.

Speaking of which, RIP Imeem. These are the times when we cling ever more tightly to DW and AO3, man. I've worked out my crossposting issues and will be doing much more of it in future!

Current Mood: quixotic

So I just made a gross phone call I've been putting off entirely too long, and am rewarding myself with both series 6 QI and cleaning my flat.

Everyone's being very cagey about Dreamwidth invites, but shortly after I made my open ID account over there, I got an invite courtesy of

flourish. Thank you dearie! I'm happy to say that I am at jlh.dreamwidth.org/. I've added most of you who are there, I think, and am happy to add more. Not sure what I'm doing over there quite yet, however, though likely it would be crossposting until things settle down in some way.

Or, I could use it to do something entirely different. We'll see!

HIMYM post presently!

Current Mood: relieved

So my plan was always to go in via OpenID for now (which I have done, jlh.livejournal.com obv) and then once accounts were available on April 30, get a $3 paid account for a month, see how it feels, and then either drop down to a free account, or if I really like it, pony up $25 for a year. I reckon even I can find enough pennies for $3. And as for the name, I haven't found a site yet that I couldn't join at least with clio-jlh, though I reckon I'll be early enough to DW that jlh will still be available—it was at LJ, after all, and I'm account #565,594.

Is there a flaw in that plan? Are people scrambling for invite codes to avoid paying the $3, to be cool, or just the usual fandom impatience? I've put my name on a list here or there—if someone wanted to invite me that would be nice—but does the invite code give you privileges above and beyond a free account? A paid account? I can't find anything that says that.

Personally I'm okay with not being that much of a cool kid. I mean, it's three weeks. I think I can wait and pay my measly $3 into the project.

On twitter, and Republicans

There's a piece in Slate, Do I really have to join Twitter?, that reminded me of a conversation I had with

ivyblossom, on Twitter, about Twitter. Because yeah, after all that, I got on and now I'm watching it with interest, even if I don't have piles of tweets per day.

What I found—which is really what I found with LJ, with Facebook, with any other site I actually use—is that people telling you "things you can do" on a new site is not helpful. You think, "but I don't want to do those things." You might not want to "microblog" in any way that gets talked about in any of those "why you should join twitter" guides. I know I don't. I follow friends, not celebs; I have three celebs that I'm following right now: Ryan (of course), Joel McHale and MIB. I don't really want to follow more celebs, because as a rule I don't care about celebs in that way. I also don't make many updates about what I'm actually doing, because most of what I'm actually doing is quite dull. Grading, writing lectures, writing some fic, watching House of Eliott—yawn! And if I have more to say about those things, like how I'm reacting to a TV show, my LJ is better for those kinds of thoughts, which tend to be deeper.

I picked up Twitter back in September, put it down again, then picked it up again in November and have been going fairly steadily ever since. What Twitter has evolved into for me is (1) asynchronous chatting—a LOT of my tweets are replies to others; (2) observations of life in NYC, particularly my neighborhood. Yesterday a passion procession went by my window, singing in French. That's the sort of thing I twitter about. I post the occasional link. (I like Facebook a little better for that, and I have a very different audience on Facebook, so sometimes I'll double post a link.)

So I'd say the best recommendation for people wondering about a new social networking/blogging/whateverthehell site is, futz with it, come back to it, see what works for you, make it your own. I'm sure fandom wasn't the killer app for LJ, either.

I'm very interested in watching the Republicans flail around trying to work out who they are as a party. I'm not sure about all these pronouncements of their being dead; they're certainly more alive than the Whigs were in 1824, and they managed to limp along for another few decades. But seeing the core get more and more doctrinaire while many pundits advise that if the party doesn't reach out they'll be over demographically in a few decades anyway is sort of breathtaking, as is the bizarre debate Lawrence O'Donnell and Patrick Buchanan had about whether Notre Dame should have invited Obama to come speak, which boiled down to:

Buchanan: Obama is pro-abortion, and the Church is against abortion! They should not have invited him to speak at Notre Dame!
O'Donnell: Bush is pro-death penalty and the Church is against the death penalty for the same moral reasons, and he spoke there with no controversy.
Buchanan: But abortion kills innocent babies and the death penalty kills the guilty!
O'Donnell: But the Church doesn't care about innocent and guilty; it cares about life.
Buchanan: But abortion is wrong!
O'Donnell: Also Bush signed orders of execution—he was personally involved in the process of capital punishment. Obama isn't an abortionist.
Buchanan: But innocent children! Murderers, who cares about them?
O'Donnell: Well, Pope John Paul II personally pleaded with President Bush to end the death penalty in the United States, so I'd say he cared.
Buchanan: But hypocrisy!
O'Donnell: I'd say that the Church's idea of social justice has more in common with Obama's social programs. And also, you are the hypocrite, because the reasoning against the death penalty is the same as the reasoning against abortion!
Buchanan: *flails*
O'Donnell: My work is done.

You can see their MSNBC segment for yourself at Talking Points Memo.

Current Mood: chipper

I mean this in all honesty, no sarcasm:

Who is John Scalzi and why should I care about what he has to say?

I've been linked to his blog a couple of times over the past few years, and he always seems to be (a) screaming and (b) condescending. Apparently he's a published author who hates everyone who isn't a published author? And I'm wondering what he's even published, and why he has a blog if he hates everyone, and why I should care about him if I've never heard of any of his books, let alone read them, and how much of a reputation he rests on if I've never heard of him.

Current Mood: confused

In the spirit of writing about things I flat out LOVE, I bring you James Wolcott.

Wolcott is a culture columnist for Vanity Fair, and his writing appears in almost every issue, in the same front-of-book section that features that drunken hack Christopher Hitchens* and war dispatches from dreamboat bar-owner Sebastian Junger. Back when I was reading a lot of magazines, VF was my favorite, and I still think it's the best for a flight—lots of photos mixed with actually meaty articles. Wolcott endeared himself to me when he wrote a long article about Pauline Kael and her accolytes the "Paulettes" and their collective impact on American film criticism. (Tip: he hates David Denby and calls him "excitable" which is absolutely true.)

Wolcott has a blog on vf.com, available as a feed here on LJ:

wolcottsblog. I'd check out his post on the recent Woody Allen film Vicky Christina Barcelona; if your reaction is "my god, he speaks the truth!" then yeah, this is a blog for you. And it isn't just high brow—he also had something to say about the finale of The L Word, and frequently comments on the culture and political blogosphere in general.

Seriously, it's one of my favorite things right now.

*Aside from my personal distaste for smug writers who like to set themselves up as agents provocateur (but only when the opposing side is represented by carefully selected straw men or idiots), Hitch fell over on top of me at a party once. True story.

Current Mood: frustrated

I was just reminded of zombies (can we be done with them already? Also all non-food uses of the phrase "om nom nom" and possibly even the food related ones, because it isn't a funny phrase and never was, and repetition just makes it worse?) Anyway, news of this zombie Pride and Prejudice seems to be filling my flist with glee, but it fills me with massive DO NOT WANT. True, I don't care about zombies, but it isn't even that; in the past when I've wanted to point to a book that is awesome even if it doesn't have much of a plot, I've pointed to P&P. The squeeing over the zombie P&P implies to me that all things are better with the addition of an adventure plot. And that makes me sad.

It's sort of like the whole "we like women who kick ass" trope. Women who kick ass are great, it's true, but so are women who don't. Which is why, while I'm excited about the Glorious Revolution vid (and think you all should watch it) it was the One Girl Revolution vid that made me cry.

I think scientists and pilots and explorers and warriors are great, but my own heroes are writers and historians and musicians and artists and diplomats and people standing on their own two hands going crazy and mostly people just trying to live in this life and not make so many compromises that they lose themselves. I'm reluctant to say these things, even about the zombie P&P, because I don't want to offend anyone who does prefer those things, and I can't get rid of the second-wave feminist niggling in the back of my mind that says, "but there ARE enough women writers and there AREN'T enough women pilots and so you should care more about THAT!" But you know, this is part of that whole project of saying what I think a little more often, even if no one else agrees.

In similar news, apparently I am not old for liking the Oscars after all: cranky old television critics hated it and wanted Fred Astaire to be there.

Let's see if I can make it that far!

The more I look at Ryan's new hair, the more I love it.
Speaking of Ryan, classy of E! not to run the Rhianna photo. Not classy of the NY Post to put it on the damn front page so it was unavoidable in the city on Friday.
Speaking of the Post not being classy, here's my favorite comment on the cartoon, from a commenter at Wonkette:
i don’t know what genius thought a joke about being shot or monkeys within a hundred miles of anything having to do with obama’s left pinky, would go over well with the pajama wearing liberal bloggers. while it’s probably the least racist thing rupert’s ever been associated with, it also missed the whole point about cartoons being funny.
Because the thing is, Sean Delonas is so consistently unfunny and offensive that when I heard he was the one behind the monkey cartoon I was seriously unsurprised.
But that doesn't excuse the Post; a friend said to me that they expected no more of the tab but I'm not wiling to allow a major newspaper to be so overtly racist.
I don't expect much more from TMZ, either—though at $62.5M, the price for the Rhianna pic was cheap—but that doesn't mean their actions were "okay."
Someone may or may not have leaked the Oscar winners. I don't consider this spoilery because the last time something like this happened they were totally bogus. While I'll definitely be checking the winners against this list, like the website I wouldn't recommend using it to place a big bet in Vegas. (Also, knowing the oddsmakers there, they'd take this leak into consideration.)
The new U2 album got five stars from Rolling Stone. Huh.
I went to karaoke the other night. No U2 songs sung, but a lot of anime theme songs were sung. I was annoyed because NONE of my songs had videos, just lame chyron screens with the lyrics.
Have you noticed that the female Cylons have the same body type?
I'm sad that all the fashion blogs trashed MIA's Grammy outfits. I thought she looked adorable! So often these fashion blogs bitch about the samey-ness of the red carpets, but they only have themselves to blame. I watch Ryan and Giuliana on the red carpet because fun things happen, but I've stopped watching any kind of fashion police coverage. It's like the difference between Trinny and Susannah's approach and Stacy and Clinton's—Trinny and Susannah live the person's life, and that results in different looks; Stacy and Clinton make everyone look like Stacy, in black trousers and pointy high-heeled boots, no matter what their lives are like.
jenncho made manips for the AU! I'll make a post about them on Monday so everyone can see them.
Ricardo Montalban played a Japanese man in the movie Sayonara (1957). Oh Hollywood and your making everyone who wasn't Anglo the same, like black actors playing native americans in cowboy movies, or Paul Henreid, who was Austrian, playing a Czech, a Frenchman, a German, a Spaniard, an Arab sheik and an Iraqi. Or Omar Sharif, an Egyptian, who played everybody including a Russian doctor and an American gambler.
I'm up through BSG 3.13, and if not for the mythology, Chief and the fact that I've set up BSG as a sort of endurance test for myself, I would have ditched the show for the events of 3.12. I'm really looking forward to this show being over.
When it is, I'm going to treat myself to a marathon of the Mary Tyler Moore show before I go once more unto the breech, dear friends, to watch Firefly (the show Joss didn't have an opportunity to frack up).
See what I did there?
I'm not watching Dollhouse. I don't like Joss. wordplay thinks I'll be missing interesting things, but one thing BSG has taught me is that I can't watch a show that compartmentally; if I'm not interested in the main thrust of the show, little side issues won't be enough to keep me from wanting to reach through the screen and kill someone every time I watch it.
I may also have learned this from Heroes, which I was trying to watch for the race issues, and ended up finding a trial that must be endured. I'm thinking that television shows should not be a trial to be endured.

Later: liveblogging the Oscars!

Current Mood: pensive

So I've been actively using Facebook and Twitter for some months now, and I've come to a conclusion: for me, the three social network sites I'm on are used in different ways, and that's okay.

My tweets are more often coming from my cell phone about some silly thing I've seen on the street, or some tiny observation about media I'm consuming. I tend to use Facebook status to talk about myself.

Some folks on Facebook are doing blog memes like "first lines of songs on shuffle from iTunes" and "25 things about me." I'd rather just play scrabble and take movie quizzes and become a fan of Aretha Franklin's hat.

I'm still not a fan of Loud Twitter. Loud Twitter digests are not Live Journal posts. They lack context, a thought being followed to its conclusion. Instead, they're a collection of separate moments, mushed together by a format. When I say, "Oh, I wish you posted more" what I mean is, "I like getting that insight into what you're thinking and why you're thinking it."

I have several people that I'm reading in all three places and to be honest, reading the same 140-character comment in three different places at three different times of day is a lot. So if you're only posting Loud Twitter feeds, I'm going to move you off my reading filter, because I'm already following you on Twitter. If you are going to be posting other things, please do let me know, and I'll be very excited to move you back!

David Denby, one of the film critics of the New Yorker, just wrote a book about how snark is a terrible thing. Now, I have my own problems with snark—I don't think it's the best response to everything all the time—but Denby is being rather ridiculous. Then again, he's the guy who wrote a pointless defense of Great Books (maybe not pointless, since it started as a New Yorker article and he got the critic nod shortly thereafter). Anyway, appropriately as Denby was formerly a film critic for New York Magazine, their book critic Adam Sternbergh hands Denby his head for writing such a ridiculous book, and in doing so gives as spirited and appropriate a defense of snark as I've ever seen. (For starters, any book about snark that says that Keith Olbermann isn't snarky is basically useless.)

Further proof that fandom gives you what you didn't know you wanted, and actually probably do not in fact want, but are glad exists: David Archuleta/Joe Jonas fic. The author promises to get smutty in a future installment, even though in this one, promise rings are mentioned, so it feels a little bit like an oxymoron. Cook makes "wiser older man" appearances, so bonus!

I commented on two posts on

metafandom today. Now I'm thinking about writing two posts based on those comments, one about how it doesn't matter how much purchasing power you have if you are the less represented demo, and the other about the pleasures of the AU and how no, RPF AUs are not essentially original fic. Should I write these posts? If I do, should I link them to

metafandom? Do you think they would be anything like useful for anyone but the converted?

Right, SO MUCH TELEVISION next week! HIMYM and Idol premiere omg, and BSG is back and I've caught up (at least, in short recaps) and Top Chef is back this week. Seriously my head is going to implode after the desert I've been in recently, for reals.

Current Mood: okay

As many of you know, I used to work in the media industry, and I still freelance there from time to time. So while the LJ layoffs suck, they are part of a much larger picture that I've been reading about for the past two months now. I mean, 850 people at Viacom! 5% of the workforce at Omnicom!

I know it sucks when friends are laid off—a very good friend of mine, the one who got me my last freelance job, was laid off just before the holidays with about three weeks of severance. But I just wanted to put the LJ layoffs, and the panic that seems to be resulting from them, into perspective. I don't think that because 850 people were laid off at Viacom that anyone thinks Nickelodeon is folding.

Backing up your journal is always a good idea, and I think we're all putting a little more hope on Dreamwidth than we were before, but yeah, it hurts all over in the media industry right now, and no one seems to know how to make any money actually giving people the services that they want, Livejournal included. It'll work itself out, because that's capitalism, but there's going to be a lot of chaos before it does.

In actual death news, Ron Asheton RIP.

Now that so many of you have voted in Friday's poll, I'll explain what I was thinking about when I posted it. And I must ask

_lore,

erinfinnegan,

piperki, and

conob: what makes me look like a sockpuppet?

( Background information on Clio's paranoia for the win! )

In nicer news, I'm very excited to say that my new computer will arrive early this week! I will be able to once again do many things, like post itunes memes and make icons and watch videos and comment on the fics I'm currently reading on my iphone, and chat with you all in the evenings! In the meantime, I will post a meme from

dreamerren and

jm_cats that I actually can do without my itunes!

jm_cats said "The beauty of music is that we don't all have the same interests" which is a wise, wise thing. And like that wise man, I have a thing for album cuts.

1. Post the names of 10 of your favorite musicians.
2. See who can guess which is your favorite song by each.
3. Once someone guesses right, bold that row and include the song.

1. Neil Finn (includes Crowded House)
2. Fiona Apple
3. Tori Amos
4. Snow Patrol
5. Kenna
6. Sam Phillips
7. Aimee Mann
8. Suzanne Vega
9. Prince
10. Heart

Happy Sunday!

Friends, I've been wondering about a few things, and I thought I might put up a poll. I'm not sure your answers to said poll will make me feel better--it's probably more my own neuroses that are making it tricky to put these issues into perspective--but hey, there's always trying.

[Poll #1314215]

Thanks!
