| Questions |
[09 Jan 2009|05:07pm] |
So I was working on some pup stuff, and a couple of questions came to mind.
A lot of pups are played in game as gay, whether or not they are in RL. And I am thinking a lot about future possibilities for my pups, and it's made me wonder a couple of things.
1. If a pup is played as gay, whether or not they are gay in RL, as a reader/player in the game, what would you think if the pup ended up meeting and becoming sexually involved with a woman? I'm presuming a poly relationship of some kind, whether that would be a threesome or something else arranged between pups and muns. Would it depend on how it was handled? Would it be something you think is up to the mun (I still would like opinions if you think that, though)? Would you require a warning for logs that had the pup established as gay in sexual situations with a woman?
2. The same questions, but the pup is a woman, played as lesbian, and becomes involved with a man as well as a woman (I don't think we've got any fully lesbian pups in game, but I'm curious if it feels different to anyone in theory).
3. Does it make a difference, in your mind, if the RL version of the pup is gay/lesbian and the in game version becomes involved with someone not the RL person's preferred gender?

| I de-friended you for a SAMMICH! |
[08 Jan 2009|03:00pm] |
(See what I did there?)
Anyway, Facebook has a new application, where you de-friend 10 of your facebook friends and get a free Whopper.
Considering how srz bzns friending can be, and to throw it all away for a sandwich, I predict WANK.

Things that are good:
- Episodes of Leverage, The Mentalist, and two episodes of Heroes on my computer waiting for me to watch them.
- Laughing at my kitten, who managed to get stuck IN my duvet. Well, in my duvet cover. She climbed up inside, trying climb under the duvet, and couldn't get out again. And the other cat kept pouncing on her because she couldn't get away, and she kept crying and trying to escape. Yes, I'm mean, but it was completely hilarious.
- Watching the Academic Husband get to hear the babies heartbeats for the first time.
Things that suck:
- Hospitals. Especially Emergency rooms. Especially emergency omg trips to the Emergency room. (I'm fine, the babies are fine, everything is fine, thank goodness. I go into a bunch of detail here, but 'I'm fine' is the short version).
- Having to eat when you're not hungry. And I mean being required to eat, every two damned hours or so, when you can barely force down food at all.
- Boost. Related to the whole having to eat, whether I'm hungry or not thing. SUCKS.

after spending 30 minutes on hold with UPS, they sent me to Best Buy to file a claim through them.
After getting a human on the phone, they are sending me another one.

| LJ, redux |
[07 Jan 2009|03:26pm] |
Is LJ being exceptionally robust, or is it just me? Vandalism by pissed-off ex-employees?
It's probably just me. But I can't get to LJstatus to find out for sure, so I thought I'd post here.
Sorry to bother everyone (okay, I'm not. Not really.)
Edited to add: Okay, not just me, then. On the one hand, Phew. On the other hand...I bet this has the potential to become epic. Even when it turns out to be just a hiccup.
Edited again to add: Now when LJ comes up it shows the following message: LiveJournal.com is currently unavailable due to emergency maintenance. Don't worry, this has nothing to do with our recent company layoffs! It's a technical problem, not a lack-of-personnel problem. Thank you for your patience.
Final edit: It's baa-ack. And I'm going to the bookstore.

[06 Jan 2009|07:56pm] |
Hey everyone, it's me, Juwel. I'm still finishing up the final tags for Brendan Fraser and Naveen Andrews before retiring these two pups, but this new pup has taken residence in my brain and won't let me wait another moment before introducing him.
So let me introduce my newest dominant, Misha Collins. *g*

| Sad |
[06 Jan 2009|06:48pm] |
I have a friend whose husband is in hospice care. She has basically been on 'deathwatch' with him since yesterday.
My BFF's mom has done her second round of chemo and it's only done so much. I don't expect to have her longer than another 3-4 years.
Daddy will have been gone 4 years on the 16th.
I'm just so sad today.

| So Transfan, I Herd U Liek Pedo Bear? |
[06 Jan 2009|12:54pm] |
Transformers comic book fandom wank.. Early this morning, it was about pedophilia.
My doppelgänger from the IDW fan forum Skwege learned that he had been accused of having sex with children by the IDW forum fantards on Transfans.net. Sprunkner is a real internet tough guy. Unfortunately, he made it quite easy to find his dox.
Skwege was not happy to find he'd been slandered as a pedo. So he calls (yes, as in calls Sprunkner's landline) to tell him to take it down. No yelling, just something along the lines of "call me whatever you want but accusing me of child fucking is not cool."
What does Spencer (Sprunkner's IRL name) do? He freaks out and hangs up!
That's right-he's a coward. So Skwege leaves him a voicemail:
"Hi Spencer :
You like to make libelous accusations about people having sex with kids? That is really grown up of you. Oh wow, you live in Washington State as well? What a coincidence! Bellingham is only an hour from here.
It's not funny! I know little punks like you think they can run around all anonymous on the internet and think nothing can bite them in their ass. However let me tell you little man, you are going to retract your statement, and then apologize. Talking shit about someone is one thing, but making a disgusting and FOUL comment like that is libelous. I have the time, money, resources, and most importantly the fucking patience to see this through so don't toy with me little man."
Then Sprunkner has his wife (yes, someone actually agreed to marry him) respond. He doesn't have the balls to answer Skwege himself-he makes his wife call him back and tell him not to call. Unfortunately, Spencer posted her phone number and email as his contact information.
Some PMs get exchanged on the IDW forum and Sprunkner accuses Skwege of threatening him (although I doubt the police consider being asked to take down a post or telling someone you're suing them for slander are violations of any particular laws). He makes an announcement on Transfans.net, crying that Skwege is harassing his family and that he called the po-po on him.
Sprunkner did call the police and they in turn contact Skwege.
The result? The police are highly pissed off-at Sprunkner. Because this is much ado about comic books.
All this name calling and wank is over whether or not the comic book series All Hail Megatron is in continuity.
The police were not too happy about being called to mediate a dispute over Starscream's alt mode.
They lecture Sprunkner and felt Skwege was somewhat justified. Skwege apologizes for dragging the wife into the mess because being accused of fucking children is serious business that involves the IRL banhammer.
The wank continues on Tranfan.net where Sprunkner whines some more (I guess his wife made him sleep on the couch) and Skwege threatens to post a scan of the police report.
These fine examples of male adulthood continue to fight about giant robots. I believe Sprunkner's wife summed it up succinctly in an email to Skwege: "This is a fight over made up robots-let it go."
Unfortunately, everyone ignores her.
Edit: I accept this is total fail. Need more recipes and fail macros, please.

| LJ going under? |
[06 Jan 2009|09:57pm] |
The bubble in social networking has burst, decisively. LiveJournal, the San Francisco-based arm of Sup, a Russian Internet startup, has cut about 20 of 28 employees — and offered them no severance, we're told.
The company's product managers and engineers were laid off, leaving only a handful of finance and operations workers — which speaks to a website to be left on life support. Matt Berardo, a Yahoo executive hired on last summer, is also believed to be gone.

Can you imagine the amazing bitchfest wankery that would go on if anything happened to LJ??? The internet would implode...

| Astro Boy's Caucasian Makeover |
[06 Jan 2009|12:25am] |
Note: This rant and the linked article refer to the upcoming Astro Boy CGI movie. If you are at all familiar with the source material, you will probably be offended by this article. Also, I hope none of you out there are big on Science Ninja Team Gatchaman, as Imagi promises that since "it is not as well known as Astro Boy, the project, about five super-powered teens fighting monsters, is open to interpretation. 'We’re kind of making up our own version based on the original 1970s cartoon.' "
http://www.star-ecentral.com/news/story.asp?file=/2009/1/4/movies/2871865&sec=movies
At the risk of pushing this into i_wank territory, WHAT THE FUCK. I mean, seriously. WHAT THE FUCK are you people thinking?
You did not just seriously say that you want to make Astro 'less feminine' because he has large eyes and, oh no, EYELASHES? He's a FREAKING 6-year-old-analogue ROBOT. What, are you worried about robo-pedophiles or something? It's not like he has tiny little robot-boy nipples to put pasties over, or a tiny little robot e-peen to cover up.
You did not just seriously argue with the goddamn Tezuka estate about the size of his ASS.
You did not just seriously say that you didn't MEAN to make a legendary Japanese iconic character look "American" but that it just kinda happened.
Just plain fucking NO. A huge bag of no.
