05:00 pm jacinthsong [Link]	"I have a very sexy learning disability. What do I call it, Kif?" "sigh Sexlexia." Hooray, I have some work at a local hospital via temp agency! For £9 an hour, which is a good £50 a week less than I was getting after tax before, but is still Not Bad; I didn't want to mention it before in case it fell through, but I am starting tomorrow and even have an ID card in which I do not look totally fugly. Listless and unexcitable as I am feeling at present (which poss has something to do with the fact that I can't figure out how to turn the radiator in my room off and keep dozing off), it will probably do me good to do something apart from read and watch DS9* and Futurama**. And it does take the pressure off to find a permanent job Right Away, so I can try and focus on possible Masters stuff. Jacob and I have almost finished watching s3. Filled with love. This is not an invitation for the irksome people who divert every conversation onto one about how DS9 is the best trek AD NAUSEUM to descend upon my journal to go I TOLD YOU SO, cos seriously. Stay in your corner with the people who won't shut up about Linux. Wow, how much of my flist/rlist did I just alienate. The above totally does not apply to people who want to flap with me about a) Kira and her face b) Odo and his face c) Bashir and O'Brien singing Jerusalem together d) pretty much every episode where two characters have an awkward moment of not quite expressing affection for each other or e) Ferengi. * I may title my DW/LJ entries from now until the END OF TIME with Zapp Brannigan quotes, is that okay?

04:31 pm steerpikelet [Link]	A thinky thought It occurs to me that, when mental health activists talk about mental health difficulty, it's not so different from when women (and feminists in particular) talk about PMS, in terms of how we want to be treated. I've just got to the stage of recognising the symptoms of PMS in myself - I get wobbly, anxious and irritable, and I feel generally under the weather. PMS is something that happens to a lot of women - with varying degrees of severity. For the lucky majority of us it's a niggly inconvenience, and for some people it can be very severe and very painful. I know a few people who suffer dreadfully every month. What women who have PMS need is to be taken seriously - not to have our difficulties ignored, but DEFINITELY not to be told that we're incompetent, that we can't work or reason or think properly because of PMS symptoms. Like people with mental health difficulties, women do not want to be patronised with 'is it your time of the month'? jibes. Like mental health difficulty, PMS is not a sign of weakness - it's an extra hurdle that a lot of people have to struggle with to stay functional. The right way to react to minor-to-moderately severe mental health difficulty is not dissimilar to the way in which women who know discuss PMS, at work or between friends. 'I'm having a nasty PMT day' - 'Oh dear! Poor love. Lots of rest, chocolate and DVDs for you. Take it easy, hope you feel better soon'. No judgement; no patronising slurs on the person's higher reasoning. The analogy doesn't hold entirely, particularly because most people who get PMS are lucky enough not to have it disrupt their lives to the extent that they're unable to work. But it's an interesting way of thinking about it. Current Mood: procrastinating Tags: feminism, hental mealth, mental health, reproductive freedoms (8 comments \| Leave a comment)
01:48 pm wellinghall [Link]	Roman ruins found under theatre "An ancient Roman ruin has been discovered by builders working on the £25.6m redevelopment of the Marlowe Theatre in Canterbury. The townhouse, thought to date from between the late second and early third Centuries, is believed to have belonged to a wealthy citizen. Archaeologists found the remains of the building's under-floor heating, leather shoes, seeds and a plate. Experts will examine the remains before the redevelopment work resumes." http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/kent/8355636.stm, http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/8355961.stm Tags: archaeology, news, romans (8 comments \| Leave a comment)
11:49 am teh_elb [Link]	Mould has been sorted, I hope. The walls have all been scrubbed down with bleach, as has the window-frame. I have been told to keep the windows open whenever I go out. The curtains are made to fit my window's odd shape, so they will be washed and returned; they can't be bothered to make new ones. They will probably be returned tomorrow. Until then, I have no curtains. I am seriously unimpressed. Still feel faint and shaky and sick and headachy. Whether this is down to the poisonous mould spores, or the bleach fumes, or some profrane cocktail of the two, we shall never know. Tags: gab, oxford (19 comments \| Leave a comment)
09:53 pm little_details [tahinaz] [Link]	Coastal Maine food? What sort of food might a roach coach/food stall in coastal Maine sell? Here in Arizona, they often sell Mexican food. Do they sell fish on the coast? During a scene where my character is walking along the beach or a wharf (haven't decided yet,) she comes across one and orders a quick meal; preferably something regional. I need to know what that might be. Any thoughts? Tags: food and drink (17 comments \| Leave a comment)

What level of clergyman would be attending the church, being there for pilgrims to go talk to, kinda being the priest-on-duty? (7 comments \| Leave a comment)
01:34 pm little_details [gallo_de_pelea] [Link]	End of semester in first year of med school Searched: Wikipedia pages on medical schools (US), "semester schedule medical school", "first year medical school", essay Clinical Experiences in Pre-Clinical Years, SWU's med school curriculum site (actual class material password-protected) Setting: United States, present-day (well, 2008.) One of my characters is in his first year of medical school. The story takes place in late spring, as the semester is drawing to a close. Due to some tl;dr circumstances, he has to leave town for a few days. After checking the time one morning, he remarks on what he'd be doing in class at that particular moment, were he still at school. I've found summaries of first-year classes, and basic course schedules, but no real info on what particular tasks med students face during this time. (e.g., are the classes primarily lectures or do they involve dissection, are there small group projects or is it all individual work, etc.) If it makes a difference, my character plans to go into cardiothoracic surgery. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! (5 comments \| Leave a comment)
09:54 pm little_details [matrixrefugee] [Link]	English to Japanese (romaji) translation needed: "Red Moon" Babelfish just gave me the kanji (which is interesting, but not quite what I was looking for) and I'm only coming up with online dictionaries when I try to work my Google-fu. I'm mapping out a cracked Twilight/Yami no Matsuei (Descendants of Darkness) fic and I decided, in a moment of evil whimsy to entitle it "Red Moon" (per the way the moon seems to turn red whenever Muraki is out and about and doing his thing; yes, the fic features Edwierd -- er, Edward crossing paths with the not-so-good doctor), but part of me decided to have the title in Japanese as well as English. Can anyone help me out here? (8 comments \| Leave a comment)
10:18 pm little_details [pisica] [Link]	Symptoms of radiation exposure This needs a tag of 'post-nuclear symptoms made to order'. :) I'm working on an SF story in which there was a nuclear detonation in a universe next door. Basically, a few people are able to teleport in this universe by slipping in and out of the blast zone in the other one. I can get lists of physical effects of radiation exposure, of course. (For instance.) What I need to know is how those symptoms would manifest in the specific scenario I've set up: these people are exposed to severe radiation in extremely short bursts, a few weeks to a few months apart, over an extended period of time. I'm particularly interested in the timescales of visible/obvious symptoms - teeth falling out, skin lesions, etc. I'm guessing there would be some immediate effects after each teleportation, as well as greater problems established by the repeated trips, but I don't know how the overlap of those exposures would work in practice. (I remember reading about people who deliberately race around the Chernobyl site but haven't been able to track that down. Any leads welcomed.) Ideally I want them to be killing themselves slowly - in general, able to keep this up for a few years before they're too physically worn out to continue - but if some people die right away (or others hang on for a longer time) then that's fine as long as it's within normal limits of the effects of this pattern of exposure. The scenario I've set out is what I'm currently working with, but if necessary, I could manipulate a) the length of time they're exposed, b) the length of time between exposures, and c) the intensity of the exposure (they might be able to shield themselves from the worst of it or be on the edge of the blast zone). Thanks! (2 comments \| Leave a comment)
02:18 pm little_details [sailorptah] [Link]	Name for an Indian genderswapped character Fiddly little name question here. I want to do something with the genderswapped version of a male character of Indian descent (present day), which means finding a female name that makes sense as an equivalent for "Aasif." I've poked around sites like babynamer.com to find names with similar sounds, but they don't give me much of a feel for whether the names have completely different connotations, and I don't want to inadvertently pick a wallbanger. (Like how "Ethel" feels very old-fashioned, so it wouldn't be a good substitute for a modern-day character named Ethan.) Any suggestions? (2 comments \| Leave a comment)
09:16 am wellinghall [Link]	Dulce et Decorum est Andrew Marr's excellent, if depressing, programme last night made me think about this.

08:07 am sebastienne [Link]	Yuletide! Last night, I signed up for Yuletide. I was sleepy as anything and completely overwhelmed by the list of fandoms but knew I'd only regret it if I wasn't involved. Santa, if you're reading this: please feel free to ignore the details that I listed. Some of them are a bit demanding and really I was just thinking out loud. Please bear in mind that I like everything. G to NC-17. Fluff to angst. Serious to silly. At the moment I seem to have a disproportionate amount of love for crossovers, but equally I love the canon-faithful. I've gone a bit random with my fandom choice this year, choosing "RPF: Oscar Wilde and Circle" (ooh, Santa, I'd be very happy for that to cross over with any Victorian or time-traveling fiction-fandom - sorry, thinking out loud again), "David Bowie: Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars" (how does album fandom even work? Actually, I should know this more than anyone, given that my number one fandom at the moment is a band. But I'm just so excited by the possibilities of this one!), and finally "Withnail & I" for a bit of I-love. And not just so that I can spend a few thousand words thinking about Paul McGann, either. I may have mentioned something about A Rebours in the 'details' sent to my Santa. I'm sorry. (5 comments \| Leave a comment)
11:06 pm darthfox [Link]	things i did this evening 1. Lost at curling, alas. 2. Went to Barnes & Noble "on the way" home, because Borders "on the way" to curling had proved to have an incredibly shitty fiction-and-literature section, go figure? Got two books, so I'm pretty well through being acquisitive now. :-) 3. Got parking when I came home. 4. Put my hand in my coat pocket and realized there were no keys there. I'm confident I left them at the curling club, though I'ma keep calling up there until I get someone having just come off the ice in the late draw so I can be sure. If they're not there, I'll ... panic, I suppose, and head back over to the B&N, but how can they possibly have chosen that parking lot to fall out of my pocket and not any other place -- they must never have been in my pocket to begin with. [eta: Got through to the late draw, and it turns out smart girl left the keys in the lock of her locker. Huge relief. Will stop and retrieve them "on the way" to work tomorrow, when I know the building will be open because the figure skaters practice at even sillier hours than the hockey players.] But how am I here telling you this?, I hear you ask: it is because I have spare keys with a neighbor who was still awake and answered the phone, whose spare keys I also have, which is the smartest decision ever.

01:37 am teh_elb [Link]	Oh, God. In one corner of my room, at the foot of the bed and under the windowsill, I have a chest of drawers, on which I keep a row of books. While I was talking to Mum on the phone tonight, I saw that there was a damp blackness along the top of my copy of The Game of Kings. Taking the book away, I saw a corner full of black mould. I investigated further. The whole back and side of the chest of drawers is covered in about an inch of mould, I shit you not. The windowsill in the corners is covered with the stuff, and the lining of the curtains are black half the way up. They will have to be completely replaced, and I think the chest of drawers might too. I don't even know what they are going to have to do to the wall. It is disgusting. It is because the windowsill and frames are made of unpainted wood, which are actually damp and soggy with condensation. I feel physically sick. This has been such a horrible week.

11:47 pm loneraven [Link]	Dear yuletide author Dear yuletide author, Hey, there. I guess with ~2000 participants, we probably don't know each other. Hi! I'm Raven, it's nice to meet you, and thank you so much for writing for me. First of all, I want you to know: I like everything, I read most things, basically I am easy like pie. If you saw your assignment and immediately knew what you wanted to write, you go ahead and write it, don't mind me. But if you didn't and you like extra details, well, here you are. Generally: I like sweet fic, I like angsty fic, I like fic with good dialogue. Don't think you need to write sex in my fic, or that you need to write any kind of romance at all. I like slash, I like het, I really like gen. I'm not really into kink, but I doubt that will come up in my requests anyway. My requested fandoms: ( Anastasia Krupnik, Casson family, Vorkosigan saga ) In short: if you like writing it, I will like reading it. I hope you have a ball. Much love, ~Raven In other news entirely, shimgray, foreverdirt and I have spent our evening being ENTIRELY BAFFLED by a loltastic Paul Simon song entitled "Rene and Georgette Margritte With Their Dog After the War". It's been a long and very strange day. Current Mood: sleepy Tags: yuletide (7 comments \| Leave a comment)

11:34 pm shimgray [Link]	11/11 Nothing involved and thoughtful, this year, but I didn't want to not note it. The atmosphere this year is slightly different to previous years; you can feel the gradual drift towards emphasising "and those presently". I suppose this is a cyclic thing... Last year, I wrote that there are maybe a hundred and fifty thousand people - no doubt less now - in the country who can remember 1918, fuzzily, as little children. Tens of thousands will be old enough to have been permanently touched by it; to remember the awful hushed silences and the drawn curtains along deserted streets, or a strange man, dusty and unshaven, who came to the door one day after the shouting was over, and announced himself as Father. And, of course, twenty years later they saw it all again; they had grown old enough to be the ones sitting in empty houses, or the ones sitting somewhere grimmer; and, for some, it all came around a third time a generation later, sitting and waiting to have a knock on the door and someone offer condolences for their son. So, have a little sad music. Mothers, Daughters, Wives; I turned up a copy of this years ago, and have been haunted by it ever since. (This version, despite being sung in a somewhat different voice to the narrative, seems to work a lot better; the original just doesn't quite seem to have the same emotion in it. This is worse than either, mind you.) (Leave a comment)
08:36 pm tigerfort [Link]	New books ninety to one hundred and one (October) Thus beating my initial target in ten months instead of twelve. (And I'm only a fortnight behind on the write-ups, too.) 90) Trick or Treatment? (Simon Singh, Edzard Ernst). A sensible, rational book that examines the evidence for "complementary and alternative medicine", reaching the conclusion (fairly obvious to anyone paying attention to the real world, rather than webternet frothing or newspaper 'debate') that some kinds of "CAM" are appropriate for treating some conditions (but are often oversold as panaceas by their advocates) while many don't work at all. The advocates of the latter, funnily enough, range from genuine (but sadly mistaken) believers to deliberate frauds preying on ill people. The front cover quotes the Daily Mail describing the book as "definitive - if controversial"; controversial only with people who make money selling CAM that doesn't work, oddly enough.[borrowed] 91) Going Under (Justina Robson). The third part of the series that started with (69) and (74), which continues to improve with each book. The porn and Sue-ism have now essentially departed, and the protagonist faces some interesting and difficult situations. I still don't feel any particular sympathy with any of the characters, but they're not actively problematic and the story and writing are both good.[Library] 92) The Android's Dream (John Scalzi). The first thing of Scalzi's that I've read. He has a good reputation, and I can see why. A book about robots, aliens, human identity, scientific dilemmas, and... sheep. Great fun, in a bouncy personal-action sci-fi way.[Library] 93) The Time-Traveller's Wife (Audrey Niffenegger). The story of a woman who spends her whole life waiting for Mr Right, with the unusual twist that she really does know who Mr Right is - and that he will turn up and marry her. Well written and enjoyable; I can see why it won awards, even if no aspect of it is particularly groundbreaking. Also, as an afterthought, it's interesting to see a book about a time-traveller that's written largely (about 2/3, at a guess) from the point of view of the primary non-time-travelling character. 94) The Reality Dysfunction (Peter F Hamilton). A vast book filled sci-fi space opera stuff. The writing isn't bad, but the problems are many. Some - most notably the apparent anthropocentrism, and the fact that the author appears to use sex scenes as a substitute for character development - are countered in later volumes, but some aren't. In particular, I found the author's violent (but probably unconscious) homophobia both disturbing and offensive, and that (while less obvious after the first book - mostly because they lack the continual sex) is a running sore throughout the trilogy. (There are problems with the depiction of female characters, too, but nothing to compare with the sole non-heterosexual.) 95) Counterfeit World (Dan Galouye). An interesting, gratifyingly complex book about the problems of artificial intelligence - both definitional and moral and ethical - as well as some nice work on questions like whether it's possible to distinguish reality from simulation - and whether it really matters. I'll be looking for other stuff by the author. 96) Brontomek! (Michael Coney). For the first few chapters, I wondered how this had won a "best novel" award, but I did come round to it. The eponymous big machines only turn up a couple of times, and are frankly irrelevant to a really quite interesting (and cynical) book about identity, humanity, slavery, and corporate ethics. Worth reading, if you can find a copy. 97) The Neutronium Alchemist (Peter F Hamilton). Which resolves some but by no means all of the problems I had with the first one (without introducing any new ones), and is slightly smaller but still a humungous wodge of a book. I'm really not sure I would recommend the trilogy to people, simply on the basis that there are plenty of well-written books out there that have caused me far less desire to thwap the author round the head with a copy of his own substantial work. 98) Shadow of the Torturer (Gene Wolfe). "The Book of the New Sun" is widely held to be one of the classic decaying-high-tech-universe fantasy novels, and in some ways I can see why. Unlike (48), this is Wolfe at his (famous) best; well written, involving, and memorable. But the story of Severian's journey from apprentice ~~Torturer~~"Seeker for Truth and Penitence" to Autarch does seem to me to be telling in ways that the writer never intended. If this was the only thing of Wolfe's I'd read, I'd be uncertain whether the powerful misogyny was that of the author or the - self-admittedly self-centred - narrator, but it isn't, and I'm not (although, to be fair, I think it might be intentionally emphasised here). The four novels that make up TBotNS are worth reading, but with caution, because of this attitude. 99) Claw of the Conciliator (Gene Wolfe). Probably the best of the four, overall; the interplay between the characters is interesting, and there's plenty to learn about Severian's world. Provided you can cope with having to read about ~~Wolfe~~Severian's assorted lust objects all the time, of course. 100)Sword of the Lictor (Gene Wolfe). Not as good as the first two, but with slightly less of their weaknesses, as well as less of their strengths. 101)Citadel of the Autarch (Gene Wolfe). Which comes to a reasonably satisfying ending, but is probably the weakest of the four novels nonetheless given how much it flops in the middle. Tags: books, review (3 comments \| Leave a comment)
