That reminds how much I love the musical Le Misrables. It also reminds me that some day, hopefully sooner than later I want to preform a lap dance to Music of the Night. It will involve a blind fold and I think I it would be supremely excellent.
In other news baby laptop can't run Civ4, /sad panda. I kinda knew it couldn't well ahead of time but I couldn't remember if civ 4 required a graphics card or not. Still it will run Alpha Centuri and when it is all said and done that is a better game anyway.
This is going to be a post where I signifigantly geek out. OH Tonight I should post my total novel word count on Twitter, then keep up with things like that because it is fun and it is something I am doing and blah blah blah. Its sad because I am not very happy with it at the moment. I mean it is alright. But I am waaaaaay out of practice writing fiction and it shows. I'm also meandering WAY to much with the story. I like books that meander though so everyone else can go fuck themselves. On friday which is my first and only day off this week I plan on going back and plumping out a few scenes. This isn't editing them so much as it is adding stuff to them to make them more relavent. Also I need to add a few things to variouse scenes to make them match up with what I have planned later, and what I want to write in the first Livejournal entry tonight.
A new game. I want a new game. Here is the thing. I LOVE Arkham horror. I modereratly love Munchkin, and Illuminati is something I love so hard that all I have left is a moderate love for Munchkin. The problem is that while switching back and forth between Arkham and Illuminati is great I fear burnout. So I've been looking for a new game to play, it needs to be 4+ players and it needs to be neat, optimumly it also needs a quick pickup breakdown time. Red Dragon Inn Fits this bill nicely and it can be easily brief cased up, however it is pretty expensive when you consider the actual components you are getting. There is also VTES, which is a collectable card game. However, now that I found a site that sells really cheap singles I should be able to get 6-8 decks up and running quickly and easily. This will be great because the game is best played with 5 people and now I'll have a good combonation of variety and usability. What really frusterates me is that there are a bunch of card games coming out that are close to what I am trying to do with Vampire but they are all resolutly two players which is just plain annoying.
Lastly I want to get into Warmatchine. I love the minatures, the setting is okay, and the rules seem fun. The problem? In the first edition of the rules they had all these really cool Mech things which they called Warjacks because calling them mechs violates copywrite laws. The game promises that it would be full of epic jack on jack combat, and lets be clear the jack on jack combat is pretty epic. The problem? The most effective armies don't really use Jacks. So fuck that game. Times are changing though. Plastic kits are coming out, and the rules are shifting more twords jack on jack combat again. So WIN! I'll take another look into the game for sure. If not I think I will settle for just making an investment in Monsterpocalypse.

NaNoWrMo or NaNo for short
All that shit up there stands for, "National Novel Writting Month or National Novel for short". This is something that has been going along for a very long time and I am righteously pissed that I have not been informed about it sooner.
http://www.nanowrimo.org/
The idea behind it is to write a 50,000 word novel from november 1st to the 30th. Yeah. You prolly won't be writing a very good novel in that length of time but that is kinda the point. It is 30 days and nights of literary abandon, their words not mine. It is where we leave behind concerns like quality, or process, and focus on the activitiy in of itself. Instead of worrying so much about this or that, it is instead, a gun shot, a race, an endurance test, and something you do for yourself. When I tell people about what I am doing they immeadiatly leap twords the idea of publication. I am considering writting another version of this and just handing out an explanation to people. Publication is for people who don't write 50,000 words in a month. This isn't a drive for ecconomic gain, it is a collective test. For 30 days you join a community of people who are all racing twords the same goal. Not racing against each other, but against themselves, the greatest of all enemies. The forums ring with encouragment and there are dozens of resources available to help people get from plot point to plot point.
It isn't about quality, and it isn't about quanitiy, it is just about writing, and the sheer joy that comes with it, ESPECIALLY when you stop caring about anyone else except for the arbitrary goal set before you and the looming date. It is truly a beautiful concept and I am more than excited to be taking part in it.
I started to take part in it last year, but the weird palm pilot, keyboard combo thing I was using ate it. Not all of it, but a good 10,000 words vanished in a blink of an eye when the damn thing crashed while transphering the files onto a backup flash drive. To be fair in all the time I've used that things that has only happened twice. Each time though it was paticularly devistating.
It also prompeted me to start looking for a solution which eventually lead to the rise of the baby laptop. Baby laptop attack! NOM!
evan wrote how writing a novel terrifies him. Well it terrifies me too, that is for certain. I've bearly written any fiction for years, I've been unhappy with my practise fiction, I have a begninng a chunk of middle, and one flashback to work with. Nothing else. I am thinking on sand here. Still all that crap aside, I am going to do it anyway.
Ordinarly that paragraph would be much longer and all of it would be devoted to pressuring evan into joining me in doing it, and trying to drag lior along for the ride to. He apparently is in contact with lior and he reminded me the other night just how much I miss him. Fuck. Oh well. Still evan has his own writting projects which are all coming along rather well so asking him to take on another is a bit much. Maybe next year eh? The whole thing excists to fight fear.
Last point. What the fuck teachers? I realize more and more just how utterly useless most of my creative writting teachers have been over the course of my life. They have ranged from extrodinarly detrimental to my writting to actually kinda helpful. The thing is though, this is something that they should of told us about and encouraged us to do. We should of been doing things like this. We should be teaching others to do things like this, and on and on it goes. The point is that creative writting classes really dropped the ball when it came to things like teaching us about getting published, spotting scams, charity events like this one, movements, and all sorts of other things.
We could all be so much more. For one month I will be. You should be to.

The Process: NANO braindump
So I've started my Nano novel, I've regained contact with the web site and all that other good stuff. I realized while doing something else unrelated that I really like writting about the process of things. Not the things themselves but the process of how they come about. Ironically I am uninterested in listening to how processes come about but I do very much love observing them. Like watching Sasha get ready for drag. That is a multi hour process that spans time, locations, sometimes even days. Other times the whole thing becomes super compressed. I still like to watch it happen each and every time, from song selection, to outfit, to putting it together, to stage. It is fascinating.
I miss sasha. I'll prolly bring her up again later.
So the whole Nano thing. I've started a process. First I did an outline. Man am I ever using that term in the roughest sense possible. Basicly, it is just a way to help get me from point A to D without stalling out and if I do stall out then I have a back up list of emergency scenes I can fall back on and use.
I have a weird relationship with outlines though due to my years of GMing. If you were to look at the session notes, then look at what happened, you'd wonder why I wrote the damn notes in the first place. Reason being is that I set up anchor points. Things that must happen. Getting to the thing that must happen is one of those things I can just sort of do on the fly.
For example in my novel part of my outline says introduce hippy. So I mulled about on this problem while writting another scene and all the sudden the wierd vanishing christian girl shows up and all solutions are found. This would make more sense if you read what I've written so far. Otherwise just go with it. More over I noticed the shift in tone that I started using once he put the gun down and started to enjoy himself. It became less dark, and much more playful. This is something I want to start using for the rest of the novel. Not just the tone but style, vernacular, metaphores, I want the whole thing to feel diffrent as diffrent moods and charecters take over.
Link will either be light and airy, or dark, spikey, and morose
Sara will be that smooth cold evil. I will use a lot of the same imagry around her that I will use for the gun. Guns and butterflies.
Hippy will be soft, warm and will have a lot of natural stuff
Cowboy will make everything really weird and out of place like having the spagetti thing happening when he is around.
I could be working on it right now, but I realized that pounding away at it every waking moment is a quick violent way to achieve burn out. I won't be riding the minimum word count the entire way to victory, that is just cutting it to close. At the same time though I don't plan on running myself ragged right out of the gate.
Not so much as slow and stready, but I still have a great deal of brainwork to do.
OH hey yeah before I forget this is how the rest of his summer will go.
-meeting and then getting to know hippy
-talk of the dark side
-befriending squirrles
-meeting the lady in white (she is to cool not to put her in this story locals know who I am talking about)
-The secret sex club, along with the revelation of the dark side
-exit hippy
-Third Orientation. Meet Sara.
Then there is a narrative break where fall begins.
Okay I want to switch gears and write about NaNoWrMo proper so that will get its own post. Then I also wanted to do the month in review but I don't think I will have enough time.

Wee I can make an ass of myself using xkcd too!
Here look at this strip:http://www.xkcd.com/150/
By choosing to retain a childish nature in this strip, instead of acting like a responsible normal women, the female in this strip is willingly giving herself over to the patriarchal male embrace that says, "Don't worry little person who can't take care of themselves we will protect you"
The male's near immediate physical response to the females immaturity demonstrates both a sexual fatherhood complex, along with severe pedophilia tendencies. However, he manages to find a sexual partner who is immature and needs taking care of, so that they do not fill their apartment with play pen balls.
The last panel is particularly telling of what the future brings. If you noticed the wall keeping the playpen balls is knocked over by the male to get to the female allowing the balls to escape. The female allowing this to happen exchanges phyical love making for the privlage of having playpen balls inside her house. Note to that he heart is also outside the doorway. Which, again shows that both of them are willing to exchange love, childhood, innocents, for physical affection and company rather than any sort of actual computability.
More so than in the strip pointed out in the first post XKCD's misogyny becomes clearly apparent. Here we have a women presented as a non threatening, confused individual who is willing to go through great lengths to procure the male's attention. She is then immediately willing to submit to him with no more than 37 (yes I counted) words passing between them.
If you are not yet convinced examine the first panel closely. He is approaching her, asking her about her plans, presumably to take her on a date or to have a friendly chat. However, considering the Schrodinger's rapist essay and the collected works of Andrea Dworkin I think we really know how the evening would of ended. That aside, her demonstration of massed immaturity, combined with her ability to rationalize out her immaturity shows that the procedural method of falling in love, and earning the respect necessary for physical coupling is no longer necessary. She has willingly regressed into a childhood state which means that she is always ready and wiling to accept her red hot slab of man cock that just happened to wander by.
I would now like to return to the posts that started this whole discussion. I think that these posts provide sufficient critical evidence to demonstrate the fact that these are not characters individually wrapped in a quiet little world. NO! In fact these characters are parables, or perhaps morality plays. I will open discussion to the proper term for anyone who wants to take it up. These characters however, do represent EVERY MAN and EVERY WOMAN without exception. That is where the brilliance of XKCD lies. It isn't about love or sweetness.
No it is about women needing to learn the comforting embrace of patriarchy because they are unable to properly take care of themselves, or make appropriate sexual choices.
See wee! Beating up XKCD is fun and easy.
I can do this for just about every single strip. I could make this strip about an abusive relationship.
Here is the thing. A nearly infinite amount of interpretations are possible. That is the reason for the death of the author. It is to turn their works into something potentially greater than what they started with. I mean look at all of what I just wrote. It is a valid argument backed up with evidence from the text.
However, just because it is valid doesn't make it right. It is wrong. That is clearly not what the strip is about and I am simply twisting the evidence at hand to make it say whatever I want, ie my soap box of the week.
More dangerously people do this in their everyday life where they will misinterpret harmless signals as dangerous and dangerous signals as harmless. There is a certain beauty in the way so many of us can look at something and we can all come up with something different. I think it is wonderful. However, there do need to be lines drawn in the sand occationaly. These lines need to be drawn with flexibility, wisdom, grace, and intelligence, so that when the inevitable mistakes are made we can see why and how to do it better the next time. FYI this process never involves throwing around post modernist terms without explaining them. Just sayin.
Okay I am done now.

This Will Start as an angry rant.
No this will start as a furious rant. This will start as a venom spitting spite ridden, spririt of pure rage, I might need a new keyboard for baby laptop rant. Then. Then I will take a month off. I WILL write a novel. Then I am going to write two essays on pornography and post modernism. I will possibly write a third one with sasha. I hope so because the third one will be a magnificent thing a beauty. Then I will come back to this. Mark my words I will return. I will be armed with post modernism, masculinity, human cruelty, intelegence, wit, rage, and a pathological need to thunder about angerly. I will do this. I will do it calmly. Collectivly and intelegently. You may not recognize they essays inspiration because I will use my foundation of anger to lay a foundation and an industrial complex that will produce massive idea which will destroy all that stands before it. I want to wear a vest, paint my nail, and I will look absolutly fabulous as I sit here in books a million plinking away filled with red hot rage funned, distilled, then forged into cold cruel ideas.
THIS WARN YOU. It will happen.

I think I'll start with a generalized inablity for these three people to come up with any sort of sexual identity as the reason for their critical misreading of the source text.
http://www.xkcd.com/642/
The first essay's comment on the strip? Geeky nice boy can't get pussy. Right because the XKCD guy is clearly intenrested in sex, sex only and has absolutly no desire of actual human contact of any sort. Fuck even the guy with a hat wanted a girl friend that he could connect with and not some milksop fuckpuppet.
The misreading clearly stems from the author's own inadiquecies
Okay here is what we do. We attack the idea of gender at it's root. Any and all conversations about gender come from feminism, queers, and rednecks.
A whole top to bottom gutting of certain ideas is really important. See this sort of behaviour out of people is compleatly unacceptable.
Let's back away from gender. It is possible to seperate gender and sex. Sure it isn't easy. But the hell if people were better at setting up some sort of sexual idenity they wouldn't need any sort of gender identity. Sexual idenity and self esteem issues. I have seen matriarchal systems be just as cruel, closeminded, and pathetic as patriachal ones.
I will calm down. I will figgure this out. I will retaliate. I am utterly tired of this shit.

Rpg piracy and you!
So there is this cool little website called http://www.scribd.com/. They are neat! Basicly, for those of you to lazy to click the "about us" link. It is a place where you can self publish your own works for everyone to see and download easily. I am a big fan of self publishing and there is something pleasent about scribd that appeals to eccentric nature.
Recently, scribd made geek news when Wizards of the Coast went after 5 diffrent people who were distributing the second volume of their players handbook via that web site.
Now in general I am a pro piracy, anti corporate nut job and I would be all over that sort of thing like white on lice. However... not this time. Unlike most fist wavers who just seem to be content to unitellegably yell into the distance over everything and anything I have goals. It is important to have goals when you are fighting for things. That way you know it is time to move onto the next battle.
Anyway my demands are fairly reasonable. I wish for digital media to have the same general restrictions as print media. I wish to be able to loan out, and possibly resell my books, music, and movies without a huge fucking hassle. I wish to be able to ensure that I am able to take steps to protect my investment, without a huge fucking hassle.
As far as I am concerned this battle has been more or less won when it comes to roleplaying pdfs. Instead of restrictive drm codes that interfere with everything everywhere we now have discrete little water marks. This means I can back up my files where ever and how ever I want. I can distrubute my files to my friends, and if I can find someone willing to buy them I could even sell my ebook collection on DVD. This is swell. I approve of this. The watermark sometimes is just annoying and other times if can be used to track you, like in the case of the Scribd.com morons. So if your paticular ebook ends up on a file sharing site you get what you get.
You gotta give a little to get a little, and so far the companies still willing to take part in PDF sales have been very helpful in this regard and I applaud them for trying so hard to cater to us. The companies that are being assholes numbers 1 and that is Wizards of the Coast. Just vote with yer dollars and everything is cool.
So I don't condem Hasbro for doing what they did. In fact I am glad. It prooves that watermarking is an effective tool, more effective than DRM which can be removed and then the file will be destributed just for spite. This is something I personally gaurntee. No. It works. I am also ultra pissed off that they used Scribd. People. There is a front line for this sort of thing. It is called pirate's bay. Those people have become parias in multiple countries, they risk years of jail time, all so that we can stand up and say STOP. You will not control the internet the way you control everything else. Here is where your domain ends and where mine begins. Frankly using things that aren't pirate's bay is disrespectful. Using a self publishing site not only puts other writters at risk of not being able to publish their things, but it also smacks of plagurism. So you get what you deserve says I.
And that's that.

And We are Finally Back Up and Running
So in the last two days I have slept close to 24 hours. Now I am officially back in black and ready to go. Man hibernation is kinda crazy.
Anyway I really want to do the post modern porn thing. But I am going to spend longer than a week doing it, and since I write so slowly I am really going to be stuggling with NANO soooo that is just going to have to get held off for at least a month which is sad *cries* but that's okay. It will give me time to start gathering materials up and such. I'm realizing now that I am going to need Lacan for some of this. Lanan is one of those people who I keep coming back to again and again even though I don't want to. See I love Bauldillard, he is my buddy. Yet, most of my stuff involved either Kant, Lacan, or terrible combonations of the two which have caused me quite a bit of sanity loss. However, Lacan says all these badass things about metaphores, and I am going to be tackling a genra of entertainment where a woman sticking an octopus into her vagina is a form of entertainment. There is something there. I guess I could also do something with the animal phase as normative but if I did I think I'll end up condeming certain sexual practices and that isn't the point of the post modern pornography project. Wow what amazing alliteration and I can abriviate it to PMPP which is exciting.
I think I am going to try to motivate Sasha into writing one of two things for it. Hey Sasha! DO IT! I'd ask evan but I don't know about his porn consumption habits. I also don't know about how he feels about post modernism. But if your interested evan you are welcome to join us. I think if I write two ten page things and Sasha writes two 5-8ish page things we will end up anywhere from 30-40+ pages which we could put in a nice cuuuuuute little book that we can pull out at certain times to look at then cuddle. Optimally we would also write at least one essay together. Cause that would be fun, distance and lack to time could be a issues but nothing that can't be overcome with a lil effort. So that should totally happen. I'll do some of the organization work in the middle of November.
So until then? I dunno. I really want to work on some vampire decks because they make me happy but that requires monies. I dun't wanna spend it though. I DO wanna get the last two big boxed expansions for Arkham. I still dun't wanna spend teh monies. So I guess I need to write some more fictions.
I've been really bad about that and I am not entirely certain why. Part of it was my compy breaking, and teh sickness. That did take up an entire week which is pretty sad.
Oh another thing I want to get better at is reviews. I am not talking about normal this product gets a 9.5 review but rather thouse sorts of reviews where they will talk about the product then they will go off on tangents related to the projects for a couple of pages then they will come back to the product...why I am saying product it is always either a book or a movie... anyway they come back to the book at the end.
I tried doing that with both Ultimatum and Irredeemable but it didn't go so well. I kinda wanna try it again, I'm thinking with Ultimatum but I am not so sure. I might do that tonight also, depending on how the fiction thing goes.
Oh yeah dungeon fighters keeps crashing my computer and that makes me ultra sad. *Cries* I miss playing it.
Anyway I really want to do the post modern porn thing. But I am going to spend longer than a week doing it, and since I write so slowly I am really going to be stuggling with NANO soooo that is just going to have to get held off for at least a month which is sad *cries* but that's okay. It will give me time to start gathering materials up and such. I'm realizing now that I am going to need Lacan for some of this. Lanan is one of those people who I keep coming back to again and again even though I don't want to. See I love Bauldillard, he is my buddy. Yet, most of my stuff involved either Kant, Lacan, or terrible combonations of the two which have caused me quite a bit of sanity loss.
