asylum_promo [ icedark_elf ]	12:27a	Story Arc, Mix n Make, The Hat Here are three story/art challenge communities for any of you who like to do such things. All of them are fandom and original friendly. First one is story_arc Everyone has seen the various prompt communities. This one is for the writing/drawing of story arcs, or a multi-chaptered fic/picture series. Using the prompts, you work all of them into a single universe, as series of stories or artwork that relate to each other. Or, alternatively, into a single story, each prompt being used for a single chapter. To some, that'll be easy. To others, it's a lot more challenging. You get a pick of prompts, and we welcome claims of all types. Pairings, threesomes/moresomes, single people, over all fandoms. Collaborations are welcomed, though we request that both parties join the com. The second is mix_n_make Everyone has that song that reminds them of a person, a fandom, a story or art idea just waiting to come forth. Well, here at Mix n Make, we not only share that feeling, we encourage you to make the image in your brain a reality. The goal: Make a playlist and write/draw what each song inspires of you. They can be as short as three songs, or as long as you want to make them. Not only can you share your favorite songs, but you can get those bunnies out of your brains and shared with the rest of us. And, finally, the most varied of them all.... the_hat The hat uses a random generator, aka "The Hat" to pick a selection of prompts for you to write/draw from. Just make a claim, telling us what lists you want to be prompted from, and how many prompts you want, and we'll generate a few lists for you to pick from. Chose one, and go crazy. Currently has 13 prompt lists to toss into the hat, and you can pick five, ten, fifteen, or twenty prompt lists. For more details, check out the FAQs here. (Comment on this)

spacelogic	3:40p	... My dad, some time ago, switched to Linux, but opted to use WinXP in a virtual machine. However, for some reason the license key that came with his computer didn't work, so today he called Microsoft about it. After making him enter the key again, etc. to prove that the problem really existed, they said he'd need a new key and would therefore have to call Dell, the manufacturer, as Microsoft doesn't give out new keys. So my dad calls Dell, and explains the problem in detail, what he's done and what Microsoft said and all that jazz. The Dell rep says they never give out new keys, which means either she or the Microsoft rep is talking out of their rear and has no idea what they're doing. Based on her closing comment, the Dell rep seems like the one; her parting advice to him? "You should call Linux." Yeah. He gave up. WELL PLAYED, MICROSOFT AND DELL!

spacelogic	11:30p	tidbits Tips for spammers: If you're sending a message titled "hi it's Jenny," don't have the sender's name be "Roger." If you're sending a chatty message opening with the line "Mike asked me to forward this," don't send it from "Discount Rolex online." A message saying I have a message on "our dating site" is unlikely to convince because not only am I not on any dating sites, but real sites would put their names there. Similar for the "I found your profile on the internet" line -- where on the internet? And does anyone seriously buy Russian mail-order brides because of online advertising? (Why Russians, anyway?) Why does all the spam assume I have a penis? You're missing half the market! My mother and brother have taken to using "awes" (pronounced "oss") instead of "awesome" and I am befuddled. Is this something people generally are doing, or is it just my family? (Went to bed at 7:30 after six episodes of B5. Watching out of order really makes me aware of how much the characters evolved. The bad bit is that I woke up at 9:00 when my sister's alarm went off and then again at 11:00 when she Skyped me to say when they were coming home, before getting up at noon, so I am now quite tired.)

spacelogic	6:07a	whee sleep deprivation It's 6:05 and I haven't slept yet. Parents and sister out of town so the lads and I decided to stay up listening to music, watching B5 (five eps so far; we'll do one more in a bit) and in Malcolm's case gaming. We plan dawn to be bedtime. IT'S MADNESS. P. S. Ivanova is still God. Yisss. Current Mood: awake (Comment on this)

spacelogic	10:25p	oh, yeah, internet Had a short, fun stay in SF. I don't like that city -- I mean, I don't like cities, but SF's really painfully laid out. The six-way intersections, one-way streets, and silent crosswalks/buses* make getting around frustrating no matter what method you use. Grid, please! But it was good to be there to spend time with my grandmother. Got back and Mum had gotten herself a slightly early birthday present -- a netbook, Eee to be precise -- and wanted me to help her fix it. It came with Windows 7, see, and she didn't want that. It's now purring away on Ubuntu and she's happy. (I think a few features of the thing, especially the behavior of the power button and the irritating touchpad, need work, but I'll admit it's a very cute thing.) Lot easier than setting Dad up with his Linux box, because Mum's a hacker -- I take after her, see -- and so requires less help. Made an appointment to go in and apply for a driver's license. Next up: written exam. Then, I have to find time to practice driving, with next semester coming up even busier than last semester was. Oy. Anyway I'm back. I'll probably be around a bit now. Except the boys and I are going to be here without the rest for a couple of days, which may mean I spend all my time rewatching B5 with them or similar. *Our crosswalks beep and our buses announce stops aloud, for the benefit of the blind. I like this because I am absent-minded and because I like to think that blind people can be independent on the streets of my town. Current Mood: lazy (Comment on this)

asylum_promo [ mugetsu ]	3:08p	The Pirates of Dark Water, Batman, The Joker, Vagrant Story octopon - Pirates of DarkWater fandom asylum. gotham_gazette - Batman fandom asylum for all batfans. vagrant_story - Vagrant Story fandom asylum. Pending/WIP. Please keep in mind that I will be retiring Vagrant Story and Gotham Gazette if no further interest is shown. And, Please feel free to join commedia; a personal project of mine, aiming to review and analyze comics (and other selected media) that feature DC Comics' The Joker. It is currently a WIP because I am still going through my 500+ hardcopy!issues collection. I do not download torrents/scans, or refer to them as sources. Two important polls need to be voted on, as seen here explaining two routes the asylum's project can take. IE: spoiler free reviews, spoilerific reviews, etc. This asylum will continue to be WIP until further interest is shown. I am also open to affiliating with other comic book and/or Batman related asylums, except for RPGs. Current Mood: cold (Comment on this)

spacelogic	1:10a	bye Going tomorrow to San Francisco for a few days to stay with my grandmother. Will leave you all with a brief revelation I just had: The book Hand, Hand, Fingers, Thumb, which I loved as a child of two or three, can be read as a series of sexual innuendos. (Example: "Hand, hand, fingers, thumb/one thumb, one thumb, drumming on a drum.") This is worse than when I worked out the song "A Whole New World" from Aladdin. Current Mood: dirty Current Music: Guess. (Comment on this)

spacelogic	11:38p	of rum and slaughter I have a post to make later about racism, and one about healthcare, but today I want to talk about the family. First, Dad. Dad's not a drinking man. He shares my taste in beer, but hardly ever touches it, and he's no big fan of wine, either. Supposedly as a teen he experimented, but he came out of it free of addiction, so it hasn't greatly impacted his life. However, he read a book last year about rum, and from an anecdote in it he got the charming idea of rum as a traditional Christmas present. From families to the father of the household, specifically. So last year he asked for rum, and received two kinds. This winter, reminded of its existence, he began to buy eggnog to drink it in. The bottle ran low. Alcohol in my family works thus: when someone imbibes it, Matisse proceeds to tease them mercilessly about how drunk they are (even if they're only mildly tipsy, and acting more reasonable than she normally does.) So today, when a "family present" was revealed to be a shot glass (bought by Dad, who insisted on calling it a "measuring cup" to the great amusement of all present) and Dad's yearly rum had been unwrapped (one of seven presents altogether: two for him, one for the boys, and the rest for the family) Mum, Dad and I decided to measure out the rest of the previous bottle. Dad was singing earlier, which he never does unless there's something on the stereo, insisting that rum doesn't get people drunk, and generally being comical. Now he's arguing that the shot glass isn't a shot glass again. Matisse is greatly amused. I think it's funny, but then I had a couple too. Today the boys and I did some advance cleaning because my grandmother's coming day after tomorrow, and we didn't want to do our chores all tomorrow. Then we rewarded ourselves with a couple of episodes of Babylon 5, chosen by a series of die rolls and coin flips -- I had forgotten how dark the fifth season is, but remembered most of the commentary on the second-season ep we wound up watching -- and followed that with some of the Scottish Falsetto Sockpuppet Theatre on YouTube, and played a few hands of Zar, as we were alone in the house and could freely do these things. Speaking of watching stuff, we're into the fourth season of Futurama, which seems to us less funny than the earlier seasons. Also I'm sick of Bender. Still pretty good except for the bad bits. Haven't been writing much as I've been busy conquering people. Matisse and I have reinvented a lot of history -- did you know Attila the Hun's two chief weapons were tons of castles and a cracking navy? Or that Mongols teamed up with the Japanese, Persians, and British to wrest the Black Forest region from the control of the Mayans and their allies? Neither did we, before. Ah, Age of Kings.
