colour meme

The meme says: Comment and I'll give you a colour that I think represents you, and then you list ten things you like in that colour!

...but really the colours are going to have to be pretty random if I do it. That said, comment, and I'll give you a colour. batyatoon gave me orange. ( These aren't in any particular order... )

I'll have to find something purple. I don't have much.

It’s been decided. On October 20th, 2010, we will wear purple in honor of the 6 gay boys who committed suicide in recent weeks/months due to homophobic abuse in their homes at at their schools. Purple represents Spirit on the LGBTQ flag and that’s exactly what we’d like all of you to have with you: spirit. Please know that times will get better and that you will meet people who will love you and respect you for who you are, no matter your sexuality. Please wear purple on October 20th. Tell your friends, family, co-workers, neighbors and schools.

RIP Tyler Clementi, Seth Walsh (top)
RIP Justin Aaberg, Raymond Chase (middle)
RIP Asher Brown and Billy Lucas. (bottom)

Hide from Me

“Hide from Me,” this week’s new song, sung by brutalist interrogators and heard by one of their victims, is really about the American torture programme, and how that programme became normalised. In a larger sense, it’s about difficult decisions – the difficult decision in this case not being to go along with criminal torture, making it de facto legal and a normal part of American governmental life. No, that was the easy decision. The difficult decision was to stand in the way of that freight train and sacrifice something to try to stop it.

Most Americans were onboard, cheering the train forward; both political parties and nearly the entire political class were, and still are. This evil becoming an American good is one way in which we former superheroes, now Forces of Evil, refused to change; it’s part of our downfall. We stood in front of that train. They didn’t like that.

This is a deeply stripped down song, almost to nothing. One melodic instrument, played with axes and razors. Singing that’s barely singing, more sung speech and chant, with the faintest hints of hiphop. The archer twins, Truth and Consequences, alternate main vocals; use earbuds or good stereo for the full effect. Solarbird, the Lightbringer, is on mandolin; Conscience plays with sound effects in the ghost vocals, and Cold Hard Reality provides percussion that sounds like a body being bludgeoned. Enjoy.

We have a very nice view from the very top of our uppermost roof

I wrote a song tonight; it's based on a friend's poem, and the lyrics come from that, so it's kind of on hold until I hear back. Needs another verse. It's simple, but I like it.

During the afternoon, I got the last section of main level guttering filters installed. The top level doesn't look like it gets as clogged in general (resulting in less chance of damage) so I cleared out a bunch of it as control and we'll compare the two kinds later. It's science! Really, really, really sloppy science. I have six segments left over (total 18 ft/5.5m(ish)) and I'm not sure what to do with that.

If you missed it, Hide from Me is this week's new song. It was originally called "Where is your Heaven?" but I like this title better. Commentary post here.
