| poor_skills_lj | 2:09p | buying stuff from people off of Craigslist I'm looking to buy a Wii since my bf never has money to go anywhere anymore, and I can't always afford to pay for him. So I figured it might be something fun we could do while not having to go anywhere. Watching movies all the time gets boring :P Anyway, a guy in the town I work in is selling one plus the remotes, wires, and 2 games for $190. But I'm so scared of buying it and it being a POS. Any advice for me? He listed it in excellent condition and when I asked why he was selling it is he said he just doesn't use it and wants the money to buy an xbox. |

| poor_skills_lj | 3:27a | need opinions about work and maternity leave vs getting fired I am 20 weeks pregnant with our first kid and we are very excited! I have a job that pays some bills and gives me health insurance, but quite honestly if I wasn't pregnant, I would have quit at least two months ago. Basically, regardless of when I do end up leaving to have the baby I have no plans of returning. Maybe to a different department in the same company, but I'm not entirely sure about that. I am a high risk mama and I literally have twice as many appointments (at least) as the average pregnant lady. I am overweight and have high blood pressure. I'm being monitored by two doctors and everything has been okay so far with the baby and his/her growth and my blood pressure has been well controlled by medication. I have been having a rough time with morning sickness and getting knocked down by a stomach bug for a couple of weeks and have missed a fair amount of work. My bosses are not pleased with this and think I need to toughen up. That may be the case, and I may look back and think I was being a giant wuss, but right now in the moment I'm just doing the best that I can. I have not worked here long enough to qualify for FMLA but I can take a medical leave of absence or personal leave. With that, I would technically be an employee for up to 38 weeks and would have no changes to health insurance for the first 12 weeks. After that, the health insurance would go away unless I paid into COBRA. If I'm counting right, I'm one missed day of work away from being fired. As far as I know, I would qualify for unemployment because I have a health condition that would have led me to being fired. We would definitely qualify for food stamps then and although I'm not sure about Medicaid, I would qualify for CHIPS insurance for the rest of my pregnancy so at least prenatal care and delivery would be covered and the baby would be after that. My question is, do you think it would be better to get fired or to go on medical leave now? I'm due in March, so my insurance would not last until the birth of my baby, but it would get me through the next few months at least. Is having health insurance through my company more important than trying to collect unemployment? Any thoughts are helpful! Thanks for your time, I totally love this community. |

10:14p | The Met and Fanart I feel like I haven't been on lj for years. I have been checking in, but I can off the top of my head think of many posts that I read, wanted to comment on, but didn't get a chance to at the time and they are now lost forever. One cool thing that I did instead of lj was going to a few exhibits at the Met--one was on paintings called American Stories: Paintings of Everyday Life 1765-1915 and the other, which sort of makes a theme, was looking at the photographs of Robert Frank from The Americans. ( They were both really cool-some big images inside. ) Current Mood:  calm |

| pepys_diary | 11:00p | Wednesday 7 November 1666 Up, and with Sir W. Batten to White Hall, where we attended as usual the Duke of York and there was by the folly of Sir W. Batten prevented in obtaining a bargain for Captain Cocke, which would, I think have [been] at this time (during our great want of hempe), both profitable to the King and of good convenience to me; but I matter it not, it being done only by the folly, not any design, of Sir W. Batten's. Thence to Westminster Hall, and, it being fast day, there was no shops open, but meeting with Doll Lane, did go with her to the Rose taverne, and there drank and played with her a good while. She went away, and I staid a good while after, and was seen going out by one of our neighbours near the office and two of the Hall people that I had no mind to have been seen by, but there was no hurt in it nor can be alledged from it. Therefore I am not solicitous in it, but took coach and called at Faythorne's, to buy some prints for my wife to draw by this winter, and here did see my Lady Castlemayne's picture, done by him from Lilly's, in red chalke and other colours, by which he hath cut it in copper to be printed. The picture in chalke is the finest thing I ever saw in my life, I think; and did desire to buy it; but he says he must keep it awhile to correct his copper-plate by, and when that is done he will sell it me. Thence home and find my wife gone out with my brother to see her brother. I to dinner and thence to my chamber to read, and so to the office (it being a fast day and so a holiday), and then to Mrs. Turner's, at her request to speake and advise about Sir Thomas Harvy's coming to lodge there, which I think must be submitted to, and better now than hereafter, when he gets more ground, for I perceive he intends to stay by it, and begins to crow mightily upon his late being at the payment of tickets; but a coxcombe he is and will never be better in the business of the Navy. Thence home, and there find Mr. Batelier come to bring my wife a very fine puppy of his mother's spaniel, a very fine one indeed, which my wife is mighty proud of. He staid and supped with us, and they to cards. I to my chamber to do some business, and then out to them to play and were a little merry, and then to bed. By the Duke of York his discourse to-day in his chamber, they have it at Court, as well as we here, that a fatal day is to be expected shortly, of some great mischiefe to the remainder of this day; whether by the Papists, or what, they are not certain. But the day is disputed; some say next Friday, others a day sooner, others later, and I hope all will prove a foolery. But it is observable how every body's fears are busy at this time. |

| fanthropology | 2:16p | Media references to fanfic, the week ending 11/07/09 In the Toronto Star, Peter Howell profiled Robert Pattinson, who said, of reading the Twilight novels as pro-abstinence, "I think it's hilarious that everyone, especially parents, are saying it's about abstinence and they're really pleased their kids are reading it. And yet so many people who are reading the books are thinking, `I want them to have sex! I want them to make me want to have sex!' And if you read any fan fiction, all of it is about Edward and Bella having sex in the same scenarios instead of stopping. It's quite amusing." In the south-of-here Patriot Ledger, Dana Barbuto wrote, of the new movie Gentlemen Broncos, when it’s not paying homage to low-budget sci-fi films and geeky fan fiction, “Gentlemen Broncos” shows the type of unabashed heart that made the Hesses’ earlier film a cult hit. Concordian College's The Concordian's Sean Volk went home sick, watched too much TV, and discovered fanfic, the poor dear: I could write my own fan fiction to create a sense of resolution for myself. If I did that, I would steer clear of the creepy but surprisingly popular sub-genre of erotic fan fiction. Think “Legolas’s long bow quivered with desire,” or “Buffy sure knew how to work a stake.” The more I think about it, this route seems phallic, very creepy, and less satisfying then I originally thought. I’m not into that sort of thing, but whatever floats your boat. Also in The Concordian, Julia Steincross wrote The horror stories from when we were children have been warped, and the youth of today will not grow up fearing such creatures. We have Stephenie Meyer to thank for this, because she has written the glorified fanfiction that is the “Twilight” series. Oh, the humanity! And, in the Louisiana State University Tiger Weekly, Brian Fontenot advised people doing NaNoWriMo, Write something new. It's about the climb, not the summit, even if the summit is awful, lacks coherency, is filled with laughable dialog, and happens to be a Twilight/Supernatural crossover fanfic. Finally, Mark Morford, for the San Francisco Chronicle's website, dissed both my religion and my favorite hobby in one swell foop. No cookie for him.

| henryjenkins | 12:02a | Comment on "Cordwainer Smith Imagined Convergence Culture (and Viral Media) in 1964" October 21, 1909 - michaelmanners |

| henryjenkins | 11:16a | Comment on "Cordwainer Smith Imagined Convergence Culture (and Viral Media) in 1964" I've read Cordwainer and never really been so impressed. Telepathic empathy, radial movements of fads were not so radical for 1964, read Arthur C. Clarke in the 50's for these types of exchanges rendered with better emotional flair. If I am to understand your argument, he converts the TV's ability to showcase strife (civil rights) and then converts this to telepathy. Seems then your argument is that transmedia has always been here, as Cordwainer dresses it up in new technology (like the fads he's imploring across barriers like planets) he simply makes it appear more like the media we employ today: media that has always been able to root in every available tangent. By your definition, isn't then Intolerance transmedia? Griffith converts Assyrian, Sumerian, Persian and Babylonian forms of gesture and expression and dance, previously stretched across 1000 years, combines them into 45 minutes and a central plaza that is optically a mutation of these ages and then projects them as an undercurrent to a modern event. Isn't Cordwainer just employing these metaphors and making them personalized expression (like the cooked interlude above) stringing it together with tape of the event and painting, haven't we all been combining histories into single events since the beginnings of storytelling expression. Maybe transmedia is really just media. |
| henryjenkins | 11:15a | Comment on "Cordwainer Smith Imagined Convergence Culture (and Viral Media) in 1964" Thanks for the mention! I hope this attracts more attention to Smith's/Linebarger's remarkable work. Although the NESFA Press versions of his work are definitive textually, older editions of his works are valuable because of their headnotes (e.g., Best of, ed. Pierce), or because Smith himself wrote a foreword or blurb about it. The retelling of stories, over and over, in slightly different ways (like genre? like fan fiction?), is Smith's modus operandi. Many of his stories are retellings of previously published items, pushed forward into the distant future and then encrusted with historicity (to use Philip K. Dick's term), embedded into his Instrumentality milieu. For example, in the prologue to Space Lords, an anthology of some of his short stories, Smith says of "Dead Lady," it "is a rendition of the true narrative of Joan of Arc...who was burned to death in A.D. 1429. Writers greater than myself have often told this story, though I believe I am the first to put it into science fiction...Some of the other famous renditions of this tale are to be found in the works of Voltaire, Shiller, Mark Twain, Percy MacKaye, Anatole France and Bernard Shaw" (9–10). I love this tip of the hat; not only the original inspired, but the derivative. Also from the prologue, re. a story you cite: "Ballad" was "loosely inspired" by some of the scenes in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms. I am particularly fond of C'mell, who was named after his cat. |
