Thoughts to live by. [23 Nov 2009|04:42am]

Is there anything you always wanted to tell your partner, but were afraid to bring up out of fear of conflict or hurt feelings? Do you think you'll ever have the courage to confront the issue?

Submitted By [info]acommongirl

No, that's stupid.

That's pretty much all I wanted to answer this to say. I always tell my significant other exactly what I'm thinking and feeling at all times, because communication and honesty is essential. Romantic love entails actively being two halves of the same person. Since they are you and you are them, you share everything with them by default. The second you feel like you can't tell your partner absolutely anything, you shouldn't be with that person anymore. QED.

----------


To segway into a slightly different realm of focus, have some thoughts to live by:

"There are dreamers and there are achievers. The difference between the two is action!"
~Something I got in a fortune cookie, but it's no less valid a message.

"Self confidence is sexy."
~Something a friend said to me once. I can't remember who. If you were the awesome person who expressed this thought, feel free to speak up and claim responsibility.

Wisdom comes to us in many forms. Those are just perspectives I feel I personally need to keep in mind right now, but I figured some other folks on my friends list might find them useful too.

Resistance is Futile. [20 Nov 2009|03:38am]
[ mood | sleepy ]

- Leave me a comment saying "Resistance is Futile."
- I'll respond by asking you five questions so I can satisfy my curiosity
- Update your journal with the answers to the questions
- Include this explanation in the post and offer to ask other people questions


Lower your shields and surrender your ships. We will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our own. Your culture will adapt to service us. Resistance is futile.



My questions are from [info]black_rider, and there are ten of them because she accidentally asked me questions twice:

1. Do you think the use of Dolls could ever be ethical in the real world?
Yes and no. No if it's handled in so corrupt a fashion as is portrayed on Dollhouse, but inherently I actually don't have a problem with the concept. Maybe I'm a horrible person but I'm not at all squicked by the notion of someone voluntarily signing over five years of their life to become a mindless prostitute. Key word there being voluntary, with a contract that spells out both the risks and everything they will be subjected to during that time, and with full payment rendered on that contract at the date of expiration. Faced with the opportunity, I would honestly consider becoming a doll. However, even if the technology were within public knowledge and closely monitored I do agree that it has the ability to warp humanity as we know it and that corruption would no doubt be inevitable so... ultimately, no.
2. What one trait do you think most defines you as a person?
Intensity. I am obsessive, intensely affectionate, intensely optimistic and once I get it in my head that I want something, intensely driven.
3. Have you ever had an experience with the paranormal? Do you believe in the paranormal?
I've had dreams that exactly predicted future occurrences, but I don't harbor any particular beliefs based off those experiences, no.
4. What is the scariest dream you've ever had, and why was it so frightening?
No one dream comes to mind. I'm not generally frightened by my dream experiences, even though I die in a great number of them. As a kid I used to dream of the pipes in my basement coming alive and that was scary, but in recent memory the most common negative reaction I have to my dreams is disgust. For example, a couple weeks ago I had an intensely sexual dream about my ex-boyfriend, and in the dream I was not at all okay with the events that unfolded but went along with them anyway. Upon waking up I felt both turned on and nauseous - and extraordinarily bothered because I'd just managed to stop thinking about him frequently. The experience was super uncomfortable in all respects.
5. Would you choose the red pill, or the blue?
The red pill. Let's see just how deep this rabbit hole goes. I'll take hard truth over blissful ignorance any day.

And then the second set of questions:

1. How on earth do you get that fantastic shade of blue?
It's a dye called "Blue Envy", manufactured by Splat. Re-dying once a month preserves the current saturation of color. Any less frequently than that and my hair begins to fade to a bizarre silvery-purple.
2. What lead you to decide to be an animation major?
When I was younger I watched a documentary on the company Industrial Light & Magic and immediately decided that was my dream job. I've always loved science fiction and fantasy, and it seemed to me that animators were the people with the magical ability to take concepts found only therein and make them a living, visible reality. Though the work is tedious and often a huge pain in the ass, I'm certain I made the right choice because it excites me and my peers include all of the wackiest, geekiest, generally most enjoyable people at art school.
3. What artist or media is most influential on your style?
Being that I am a child of the internet and started actively drawing and considering myself something of an artist around the age of ten, the same period in time that I was also beginning to use the web with frequency, I'd say a wide variety of online artists have influenced my unique "style" moreso than any one given artist of real note or acclaim. My favorite media, however, is paint. Real, physical, traditional paint that you can get all over your hands, clothes and belongings as you work. Particularly watercolor and oils, but acrylics can be jolly too.
4. If you could meet one person from history, who would it be?
Probably Benjamin Franklin or John Adams, because both were fairly snarky bastards with interesting ideas who seem like they would be fascinating to carry on a conversation with. Though if there were any one dead person in general that I'd fancy meeting, it'd be Douglas Adams.
5. Does true love exist?
I used to think so but I don't know anymore. There certainly isn't one true "soul mate" out there for everyone, as much as it pains the utter romantic in me to admit that, because I can say I've honestly loved more than one person in only twenty years of life. Fated matches, perhaps though - persons who you just instinctively fit with, who possess some portion of what you as an individual are missing and vice versa, and together you make one whole. I've encountered a couple such people who fit with me personally, but maybe I'm wrong. Maybe there is one special person in the world who's meant for me above the rest and I just haven't met them yet. I suppose I won't know until I do.

Shape-shifting. I mean, duh. I'm a furry and also often gender-ambiguous. I would love to be a different species or gender at whim! Incidentally, I was named after a shape-shifter from Star Trek. No joke. My mom with pregnant with me and on the look out for an appealing name when she watched the second season Next Generation episode "The Dauphin", in which an allasomorph named Anya guest starred. (Hell yeah I'm incredibly proud of this.)

If I couldn't have shape-shifting, my close second choice would be telepathy. I have this weird desire to learn absolutely everything about the people I love, and I would give anything to actually get inside their brains and see what the world is like from their perspectives. Plus, I'm a big dork who stole pretty much all her notions of romance from Imzadi and I super love that Betazoids can form telepathic bonds with the people they love and project to them, even if their partner is not empathic or telepathic to any degree themselves. Being in contact with someone's mind in addition to their body just strikes me as ridiculously romantic. The same thing goes for Vulcan mind-melds... walking away from the experience with the essence and memories of the other person stored somewhere in your own brain? Gah.

Let's see how deep this rabbit hole goes-- [13 Nov 2009|06:01pm]
[ mood | blank ]

The plot thickens.

http://www.ditchthetech.com/ has a new video today.

http://wipethefuture.com/ has been changing on a daily basis. Two days ago, it read: "IT'S NOT OVER" then, yesterday: "BE CAREFUL TODAY!"

Today? "FIND HER! HURRY!" and a code-key apparatus. If you successfully glean access, the following message appears:

"Sara at Spectrin
Heiti is Key"

Sara at Spectrin: http://spectrin.com/emeritus.html Read through their whole website and am still uncertain as to what they actually do! Probably a fictional company as well.
Heiti?:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heiti Ahaha, I'm not certain how this applies.
(Heiti possibility #2?: http://www.biologyimagelibrary.com/fullImage?imageID=50189&subjectID=5012§ionID=5028&topicID=5198)

Additionally, a new account apparently tied in to the Dollhouse ARG has appeared on Twitter: @AlexfromPR whose blog link points here: http://alexandradawson.wordpress.com/ Wherein she claims responsibility for the Rossum Corporation's website. Noticed a similarity between the girl in the blog's header and the girl in Ditch the Tech's new video. Asked about it via Twitter:

czgoldedition: @AlexfromPR Is that you in the video? Looks awfully like the girl in your blog header, I'd say!
AlexfromPR: no it's not me. yes it looks like me, but someone must be playing a trick. i don't know what's going on

Also from a bit earlier:
czgoldedition: @AlexfromPR Found you via @DitchtheTech - are you going to help save the world from Rossum?
AlexfromPR: @czgoldedition why would i save the world from them? they're our clients and a wonderful organization that does so much good!

I am ridiculously entertained by all of this.

ETA: via JenskiJen on Whedonesque:
Sara Kingsley is also the character name of a doctor in Star Trek: The Next Generation. She was the head physician at the Darwin Genetic Research Station in 2365. She led an experiment to produce "superhuman" children who would be immune to virtually all forms of disease: source.

ETA2: Time travel is definitely involved, ahaha. Anything "Sara Kingsley" wrote couldn't be referred to in de Chardin's writings as her biography claims, since he lived in the World War I era. Unless we're dealing with an unnaturally long life span a la the "upgrades" offered by Mr. Ambrose...?

Did I fall asleep? [12 Nov 2009|08:40pm]
[ mood | blank ]

I... I think the Rossum Corporation just tried to have me remotely wiped.

I just got off the phone with Tif when literally a minute later my phone rang, displaying a number I didn't recognize off hand. Out of curiosity, I answered the call. A pre-recorded message (which was difficult to decipher at points in time) informed me how much Rossum valued all its shareholders and told me to please hold. Suddenly the audio cut to garbled static, followed by a message instructing me to await further contact and to have a bright future.

I fear I may have been imprinted with sleeper code. Avoid me from now on, a few choice words and I could end you. And whatever you do, don't mention flowers in any capacity.

I'm sorry Topher - I picked up the phone.

And then once it's over in January, assuming all hope is indeed lost and it does not somehow magically come back for a season 3 due to the awesome ratings it WILL get in December because we are going to advertise the piss out of it (RIGHT GUYS?

So, uh, first there's this - the Rossum Corporation's website: http://www.rossumcorporation.com/

That in and of itself should be enough to creep you out!



--or excite you, if you're a Dollhouse viewer who understands what's going on. And if you were one of the many folks who called their contact number out of curiosity, you probably received a mysterious call back warning you to "ditch the tech". Which in turn leads us to: http://www.ditchthetech.com/

In the source code for the latter website:
meta name="description" content="Civilization will fall apart in the year 2019. The Rossum Corporation is responsible. It is already beginning at the L.A. Dollhouse right now. Don't let them wipe the future!"
meta name="keywords" content="Rossum, evil, future, 2019, L.A. Dollhouse, end of the world, don't pick up the phone, ditch the tech, ditchthetech, wipe, brain, mind, soul"


...amazing. I love these sneaky viral campaigns, confusing people and mixing fantasy with reality. I'm pretty damn tempted to print some of those "Ditch the Tech!" flyers and post them around. In fact, I think I will later this week. Shhhh other MICA people. Don't tell a soul.



I'm officially adding this to the list of things that makes life awesome.

In general, do you find yourself more attracted to people with similar or different interests, life experiences, political beliefs, and religious backgrounds? Do you think having some common interests/goals is essential for a successful relationship?


View 556 Answers



I prefer a solid foundation of similar interests and beliefs and yes I think it's absolutely essential. Similar experiences and backgrounds not necessarily, though.

I find it easier to love someone I have interests in common with because it provides ground for interesting and enjoyable conversations that both of us will be genuinely engaged in. All of our interests obviously don't have to be the same, but there must be at least a couple big things we share. The only relationship I've ever been in where this was not the case failed because of it - she didn't understand the attention I devoted to my obsessions and got mad at me for it, which in turn drove me further away from her. I like obsessing over or at the very least mutually appreciating movies, shows, books, artwork, science, et cetera with my significant other. I also love the process of showing each other the fixations we don't happen to already share - nothing's more exciting than cuddling up and playing your special someone one of your favorite series for the first time and then getting to watch something they enjoy in return and experience their excitement when you start to get into it. It's both a fabulous bonding experience and a means of reliving that obsession as it was for you the first time around. Same thing goes for beliefs - not all of mine and theirs must align perfectly, but at least a couple of them should. It's fun to dig into the details of an issue and debate it out with someone, but not constantly and not so much with your significant other. If you're serious about the relationship they're probably going to wind up being the person you come home to every day and the person you confide in most regarding proceedings of said day. At that point in time I usually want someone who will at least somewhat sympathize with what I have to say, or will simply listen and contribute intelligent commentary -- not someone who would be liable to want to argue about it on the spot. That would become stressful and unpleasant really quickly and would make home not feel like a safe place to relax.

What's not essential are having similar experiences, backgrounds or personalities. Yes if you share the same interests and beliefs you've going to share some personality qualities, but I actually find it's a better dynamic if a lot of this is different: someone high strung should be with an easy going partner, someone shy should be paired with someone fairly outgoing, et cetera. This helps ground you and balance you out as a person. And with that foundation of similar interests and beliefs, I find I'm more likely to trust them and to step outside my comfort zone or vice versa situationally. And of course, these are all base-state qualities I'm talking here, because when you're with someone long enough you tend to configure yourself to correspond to them and you each become a bit more like the other and start to fill each other's specific needs. I know that I certainly came out of my last relationship with a good deal of my significant other's qualities and he also definitely came out with several of mine. Serious healthy relationships are super dynamic, life changing experiences.

Oh, why the hell not:

In a fight, Kara would without a doubt kick Topher's ass, so it wouldn't be fair to decide via a death match. Both are incredibly flawed individuals, but I like it that way. Would I prefer someone arrogant about their brain or someone arrogant about their skills with a gun? Topher would most likely loose interest in me in favor of his work. Kara would most likely sleep around, because that's how she is.

Dollhouse TONIGHT - 9/8c on FOX. Screeners report this to be the BEST episode of the show yet. The episode was written by Maurissa Tancharoen and Jed Whedon, who previously brought us "Haunted" and "Epitaph One". It is directed by Jonathan Frakes of Star Trek: The Next Generation fame (good ol' Number One).

Breathing space. [23 Oct 2009|07:16am]
[ mood | sleepy ]

Really pretty vidding always makes my day. Not the sort of fan videos that just mash clips together willy-nilly and throw Evanescence or something over top, but vids that really try to take the visuals and the sound scape and mesh them to produce an emotional effect. Timing is extremely crucial.

Amazing case in point of vidding done right is this piece by [info]ditzypie:



The whole thing feels so fragile - in a good way! The wispy, blurred and faded appearance of each clip appears in perfect time with the gentle, sparse piano music accompanying the video. Jump cuts and frame blending are also used to great effect in keeping the timing synced with that piano. The reverb added to the dialogue sound clips layered over top combined with the momentary pauses and total fades to black give the video a real three dimensional space (probably their goal considering they've entitled it "Breathing Space" - well played indeed). And of course, the choice of clip/dialogue pair ups is brilliant, almost making the lines into internal monologues rather than shared moments. Altogether, watching this video I simultaneously felt the vulnerability of the characters and like I was standing in a large, enemy room looking at a small glass trinket sitting abandoned in the middle of the floor. And that's just friggin' cool. Kudos!

On the other hand, you can bet your bums I will be advertising the hell out of Dollhouse's December 4th return. You should all do the same. I hope they stick to this plan so that we can advertise, y'know, the correct information.

I still have an animation to finish due at 9 AM tomorrow at it is 3:30 AM. Sigh. Best be returning to that. Just had to take a moment to be appropriately surly and shout a bit.

Rest in Peace, Miska. [15 Oct 2009|09:43pm]
[ mood | lonely ]

As you probably already gathered from my post yesterday, my baby Miska slipped from this life yesterday afternoon. She was fifteen years old.



Miska started life as "Doright Durango", racing in Florida until the age of five. She found her forever home with us in the summer of 2000. When we went to the kennel where the Greyhound Adoption of Ohio kept their charges, she was markedly different from the other greys. She was loud - barking, whining and carrying on, and ran around the other dog's crates stealing treats and other bits of food. (Greyhounds are known for being generally quite quiet, laid back dogs.) My mom even wondered aloud, "Who would want that dog?" Long story short: I did.

From my mom:
Shadow was peacefully laid to rest yesterday. We buried him in the spot where he had his 'hole'. We put Tiger's ashes in with Shadow since he started that hole. Planted a mass of tulips and daffodils above them.


Shadow lounging in the hole in question - it was a nearly lifelong project for him and was impressively deep, despite our very best efforts to fill it in now and again to keep him from hurting himself when they ran around outside.

Shadow started life as "Clean Runner", a racing dog in Iowa, and came into our lives at six years of age named "Manner". He had been retired from racing at five years of age, was adopted by another family for one and when they decided they didn't want him anymore, he found his forever home with us. We changed the name to "Shadow" and so he remained for the next seven years in our household.

Many more pictures and stories about Shadow. )

I'm sad that I didn't get to say good-bye in person, but I know he's much more comfortable now. So... good-bye.

Fox: We will air all 13 'Dollhouse' episodes

Ahem --

AHHHHHH HOLY SHIT YES YES YES YES THE AWESOME YES FRAKKING YESSSS.

Also, the closing statements made me laugh:

"Beckman also humorously characterized deciding the show's fate as a bit of no-win situation when it comes to dealing with Whedon's passionate fans.

"If you cancel it, you're an asshole; if you renew it and then don't put it back on, you're an asshole," he said. "I'm still paying for 'Terminator.' 'Dollhouse' has a small rabid fan base that in the world of social media seems bigger than it is. We gave them another season knowing full well we were going to burn in hell if we pulled it.""


I approve of this scheduling chief guy and his sense of humor. Or sense of self-preservation. The two are hard to distinguish in this instance. ;P

So ten more episodes are, FOR SURE, coming our way on live television, assuming they stick to this promise. There is however some subtext there about putting the show on hiatus during the November sweeps if the ratings aren't high enough to be profitable then and of course the unlikelihood of nabbing either a back 9 or a third order of 13 episodes unless ratings drastically improve and catch their attention.

So what does these mean? Do not become complacent! The viral fan advertising campaigns must continue. The first rule of Dollhouse is, tell everyone you know about Dollhouse. The second rule of Dollhouse is, tell everyone you know about Dollhouse!

Via Dawnfire87 on Whedonesque:

"Trick now is to not become complacent. If we can really keep up the promoting and continue to advocate for the Save Dollhouse campaigns, than we might be able to get those ratings up to the modest levels Fox was hoping for. I know a lot of people haven't been thrilled with the first 3 episodes this season, but it's still early in the game. I don't think we've seen nothin' yet. (Personal aside: pfft, I was thrilled with both "Vows" and "Belle Chose"! In fact, I've already watched them both more times than is remotely healthy, ahaha. "Instincts" was a bit lack luster to me but still good.)

Getting 13 episodes of a second season was a miracle, and I must admit I'm even sort of surprised that all 13 episodes are going to air. They are being very fair. I don't think those back 9 are out of the question yet, and neither is the possibility of a 3rd season.

In addition to fan generated influences, these upcoming episodes may be good enough to draw in some audience on their own accord, ala Man on the Street. I certainly think Summer Glau's appearance will help, maybe pull in some of the Terminator fans.

But even if 13 is all we ever get, I am extremely thankful to the people at Fox for giving us what I believe is shaping up to be an excellent second season. Last seasons finale was not in any position to give me a sense of closure. Had that been the last episode, I would have been devastated. But Joss knows where things stand, and as he has guaranteed enough closure to account for the real possibility of the end, I can at least stop worrying.

And just stick with Hoping."

We are amazing. [10 Oct 2009|02:23pm]

Ratings for last night are in - Dollhouse scored a 1.0 this week! That's up from 0.8 last week. Trends had indicated it was going to go down to a 0.7... so you know what this means? It means the fan advertising campaign is probably working. Hell. Yes. WE ARE AMAZING GUYS. LOVE YOU ALL.

It's by no means safe though, so don't drop the ball yet! Watch last night's episode on Hulu and Fox on Demand today and buy it in iTunes! Last week we took the rating from 0.8 in the demo and 0.9 in the final - if we could make this week 1.1 in the final think how awesome that would look?

If the ratings stay 1.0 and above we'll probably get the rest of the ordered thirteen-episode season. And of course the ultimate goal is to get the ratings up and stabilized around 1.3 by December, which would mean we get a back 9 (order for 9 more episodes to bring the season to 22 episodes in length)!

GO TEAM DOLLHOUSE. <3~

My mom informed me that apparently our greyt babies aren't doing so well.



Shadow especially not (the black male above), but Miska (the faun brindle female) is having difficulties too. They have lead long, comfortable lives (13 and 15 years, respectively) but I hope they hang in there awhile longer.

Please keep them in your thoughts.

Yep.

I'm down with that.

I think I should go to bed, I have class in the morning and all - but I don't really feel like it at the moment. I'd rather get something done. Sleep is for the weak.

Sci-fi club went well again tonight. By request of one of the members, we watched the "naked Mal episode of Firefly" (aka "Trash", but I must say her name for it is much more descriptive!) and ate candy.

These two events alone would already mean we were awesome, BUT WE DIDN'T STOP THERE. OH NO. We proceeded to have a GEEKY DANCE PARTY using the five lightsabers I just happen to have on hand in my dorm as glowsticks. The playlist included essentials such as the Picard Song, Do You Wanna Date My Avatar? and The USS Make Shit Up. While listening to the music I put up slide shows of geeky things on the television screen (which was hooked up to my laptop right then). This eventually devolved into watching videos of cute kittens fighting - with geeky techno still untzing along in the background, of course.



WHY ARE WE SO AWESOME.
