Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
All set to go to the Air Force museum in Dayton tomorrow. I remember the museum is poorly lit--on their web page they explain they keep the lights as low as possible to minimize damage to the planes. Luckily they allow the use of a tripod, which I'm going to need to get good pictures in the poor light
And then I'll be off to visit Teppy and flea, which will be lots o' fun!
I have figured out how to stream hockey online for free since I can't pay to watch it online at NHL GameCenter because they black out games if it's being broadcast locally, which I think is stupid because I WOULD pay if they actually let me watch playoff games without me having to use a VPN to make it look like I'm trying to watch from another country.
My sister sent me this link to an interesting panel including bell hooks called "Are You Still A Slave?" that's very interesting about black femininity in which she called Beyonce an anti-feminist terrorist for this Time cover. I think that's putting a lot of the onus on her for a styled cover (she's got a lot of power to veto, I'm sure, but I don't know if it's her fault exactly). I don't get the hype about her as a person, although her songs can be fun. I don't get the serious estimation of her--anyone have an explanation?
21 spindles tonight. I have 19 to go, just the run on the second floor. And I need to buy brown paint for where, despite being really fucking careful, it seeped into seams that I can't scrape out (one nice thing about using the floor finish varathane? Latex won't stay stuck to it! I scrape it right off with my fingernail and the finish is fine!) No one might notice but me, but you damn betcha I'll notice. Every.single.time.
So.
Progress.

You only say "fun" because you haven't yet played Apples to Apples with me.
I don't get the serious estimation of her--anyone have an explanation?
As I see it, she's sort of the focal pop icon of her generation and carries a penumbra of Powerful Female to lots of women. It doesn't depend as much on her songs as her media presence.
anyone have an explanation?
If not her, then who else?
GOD DAMN IT, WILD.
Had a lovely evening out with vortex and some of her local friends. Good times.
Until we got back and I looked at my email and had an email from my parents....apparently my mother HAD A STROKE. ON THURSDAY. AND EMAILED ME FRIDAY NIGHT TO TELL ME. I mean, I guess it wasn't too terrible since she can still email, but apparently she woke up and her arm was numb and she went to the hospital and there were MRIs and stuff. And they EMAILED. Wtf.
If not her, then who else?
Janelle Monae.
