    Riot Grrrl Bands

    Hee. If we get to include Portishead (which, awesome) and Siouxsie Sioux (who is awesome - even her solo album last year was awesome), and The Breeders and Throwing Muses and Belly, et al, I want to nominate My Bloody Valentine, the best shoegazer band ever. They were half chick! and Loveless...

    Riot Grrrl Bands

    Back before Queen Latifa was an actress and singer-of-standards, she had some pretty woman-empowered rap lyrics.

    Riot Grrrl Bands

    Though neither is technically part of the riot grrrl movement, I've always thought that Hole's album Live Through This fits perfectly with both the politics and the aesthetic. Ditto for PJ Harvey, particularly what I think were her first (?) two albums - the first ones I heard, anyway - Dry and...

    The show your face/introduction thread

    I love The Hunger. David Bowie, Catherine Deneuve, violins and vampires. What is there not to love? Cheers, Owlette!

    *SPOILERS* Any Other Galactica Nerds Out There? *SPOILERS*

    Yup. I think that's one of my favorite things about sci-fi, and particularly about Battlestar. The Colonies have internal cultural tensions - but the tribal divisions were not race-based. I'll miss Dee. I never thought she was a coward at all - she showed an awful lot of courage and...

    Regional Specialties?

    I've never thought of Scrapple as a southern thing. Isn't it Pennsylvania Dutch in origin? I am part-way through a great history of American foodways, and the author used Scapple as a symbol for agricultural and cultural mix of the Middle Colonies (Pennsylvania, NJ, Maryland) in colonial...

    The last movie you watched... and score out of ten - Part 1

    I went to the encore HD broadcast of the Metropolitan Opera's Orfeo ed Euridice tonight, with Stephanie Blythe singing the role of Orfeo. It was written for a castrato, and is now usually sung by mezzo-sopranos, and occasionally by counter-tenors. Oh em gee, it was spectacular. I'd never seen...

    The show your face/introduction thread

    I read "The Way the World Ends" by James Morrow just a few years ago. I have a thing for post-apocalyptic literature and picked it up at some point, and I enjoyed that one more than I thought I would. Though, otherwise... (grins) I prefer Faulkner to Hemingway/Fitzgerald (early-mid 20th...

    What Are You EATING right now?

    Pin-head oats with craisins, raisins, brown sugar, cinnamon, and fresh nutmeg and coffee (Yemeni) with cream.

    favorite film?

    My favorite movie of all time is Babette's Feast. I don't usually watch the same movie over and over again, but I think I could do that with this one. I saw it for the first time at a local international film festival when I was sixteen - back in the 1980s, an awfully long time ago - in a...

    The last movie you watched... and score out of ten - Part 1

    Oooh. I like this thread! The last thing I saw in the theater was the Met's encore presentation of their HD broadcast of La Damnation de Faust by Berlioz. 9/10. It was fantastic. The performers were really well miked, and sound was great. The chorus was fantastic. I suspect that the...

    weird vision issues

    What you are describing sounds to me like the aura I get when I get migraine headaches - a weird, blurry eyebrow around everything I see, which passes within 20 to 30 minutes, and ends in a terrible headache. I notice the aura first in bright light - saw, against the computer screen - but it...

    Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

    PamelaLois, I would not consider hiring an attorney until you are certain that you claim has been denied. It is possible that your employer/their insurance company will rule your claim compensable, particularly since as a groomer you work with vibrating tools. That is your primary...

    Dimension Members in cold climates.......

    60 degrees when I'm gone during the day and at night. When I'm home, I usually up it to 64 degrees. When I'm really cold (like tonight - though it's only just below freezing outside, so I can't tell why I'm really cold today), I push that up to 68.

    Traveling to Europe....

    I think the other thread to which AnneMarie linked covered seat/seat-belt issues fairly well. If you can avoid it, I would recommend NOT taking a red-eye flight over there. I flew to Europe last year on an overnight flight believing that I would sleep for a significant portion of the trip...

    I Won NaNoWriMo!

    Mimosa: ahh... my favorite drink. (grins) Thank you for the congrats. I won NaNo once before, in 2005, and had essentially no plan. I ended up with 50,000 words worth of vaguely connected scenes, with literally no plot as I had such a hard time making plot decisions. This time, a plot...

    I Won NaNoWriMo!

    I won NaNoWriMo. I won it tonight. At the last minute. I crossed the line and hit 50,000 words on an original work of fiction that is - well, not completed, or anything close to completed, but sufficiently fleshed out that I feel really great saying that I won. I won NaNoWriMo once before...

    Everyday food pics - come peek!

    For whatever reason, as a lurker I've really enjoyed this thread. The plates are fascinating! and I remembered I have a camera, and lo and behold, I took some pictures and had to finally register and post. Dinner tonight: salad, brussel sprouts, braised red cabbage with onions and apples...
