FILM SHOCK HORROR
Jun. 6th, 2008 09:58 pmTonight's Bad Movie Suckoff: Decoys 2: Alien Seduction vs. Incubus (1965, William Shatner et al, filmed in Esperanto, subtitled in English).
I have never before been defeated by a movie, but Decoys 2 did it. My gods. I have lost to a bad movie. The unremitting smashing of my pop culture sensibilities simply overwhelmed me.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
annathepiper and I lasted 32 minutes, 20 seconds. We've started Incubus. If it can also defeat us, but in less time, it can still "win." Still - the odds are small.
AND ALL THIS ON HOMECOMING! The ashes of my winning streak, they are bitter in my throat.

Okay, so, there are these things called "black swan events." They're unpredictable (or at least, essentially unpredicted) disruptions of major scale. Near-turm peak oil with a substantial decline rate - over 2% - would probably qualify as one, despite some predictions of it, since that continues to be unplanned for and has a 20-year recovery timeframe. It causes massive systemic disruption along the way.
There is a huge - I mean massive - derivatives market out there in financials. I don't understand it. At all. As far as I can tell, nobody really does. I've been trying to get some vague hint of a grip on its scale since I first really started hearing about it in 2006. I've heard numbers like $150 trillion notational dollars (and up!) and haven't known what to do with that kind of number. Because what do you do with that kind of number, when your GDP is $15 trillion? Seriously - what?
It's my favourite, by which I mean most terrifying, candidate for a black swan economic event. And I still don't have a good grip on it. Either all this shit cancels itself out once things start to fall down - in that there's a big set of swaps that add up in the end to zero, or close to it - and it ends up not mattering, or the game is over. Completely, totally, fucking over, and it's time to unplug the machine, swap the power supply, and hope you can salvage the processor. It's one of those two things. I have been, and continue to be, betting on the former, despite what comes next here.
Marketwatch's Paul Ferrell reports that the actual number is more like $516 trillion notational, with an actual fall-out value of somewhere around $11 trillion. That's, again, against a GDP of $15 trillion. And as Financeguy on the Market Ticker Forums points out tonight, that market, like most of the other ones, is in trouble.
Now, you can't really plan for this. You can't really plan for a hard reboot of the entire financial system. I can't tell you what to do because I don't know. It's the kind of situation where since you cannot, definitionally, plan for the bad case, you plan for the one you can plan for, even if it's less likely, or unlikely. And in that case, it all falls in on itself and reduces to a much smaller number that, while nasty, can be handled as part of the rest of the credit implosion.
That's how you end up hoping the economy only takes a $1 trillion dollar hit over the next couple of years, instead of, well... who knows?
And that's why I haven't been talking about it. Because I'm hoping it just goes away.

I got this bit of zomg from waywind. Click through, it's cool. Also worksafe.
Thanksgiving is over, I'm very, very sleepy. Mostly I think I'm glad fall is over. No, okay, mostly I'm gladannathepiper is out of cancer, even if there's still recurrence-preventing radiation therapy rounds ahead. But other than that, I'm mostly glad this fall is over. It's been a difficult one. There are other things too but I'm too tired for now.
Also, I have more pictures of kittens. But those are for later. G'night and I hope yours was good.

SPLINTER WHISTLES WHEN SPUN! Splinter is a singing staff! In addition to being a flute and a walking stick. I mean, it's perfectly reasonable, I'd even wondered whether that would happen when I first toyed with the idea of making a flute like this but then I forgot about it. Until just now, anyway, when I was screwing around in the living room and OMG WHISTLE. ("TYRANNOSAURS in F-14s!" "This is SO cool!" "This is SO stupid!")
Anyway. Shouldn't be going OMG about my own instruments. Sorry. Right. Back to the new melody segment, which is what I was screwing around with when I discovered this surprising flute property.

Jul. 7th, 2007 09:17 amHoly crap! One of my editors got mail from a reader condemning them for running technical articles written by a dyke. No, really. And threatening to boycott the magazine on that basis. Yay, economic freeze-out hitting home! (Don't worry, he's the type to tell them to DIAF.) But - OMG I'm, um, famous? Yeah! Famous!
I'll mention this in my next CWU, too. @whee! Sadly, I can't print the letter. But damn, I want to. Also, I find it hysterically funny that of all the things I do, writing about computers is what draws t3h hate. YAY
A Strange Relationship
I went down to the new Seattle Art Museum building, finally, and wandered around withspazzkat, who has already been there a few times. It's a much larger museum now, and has some spaces which are really quite cleverly built. The most amusing part were some of the windows on the top floor, which had these shades on them which made yesterday - a brutally hot, very sunny day - look, seen through them, like a dry Seattle winter day, cloudy and cool. I don't really know how they did that. I'm not used to seeing relights in exhibition areas under any circumstances, so I was surprised to see them here. Then we walked up to B&O and had birthday dinner with jessicac (and a bunch of other people, but it was her birthday), where we accidentally ran into cow, who sat at another table with a friend. They were both TXTing at the same time, so I decided it was at each other, so I got out my cell and TXTed over "geeks." At which point cow came over and unexpectedly did not hit me with a spork.

Of all the times not to have a camera
Jun. 23rd, 2007 11:45 amA B-17 "Flying Fortress" just flew over our house. TWICE. Really low, too! They're transferring it from Payne Field in Everett down to Boeing Field in south Seattle (according to the Times - spazzkat ran in after it was gone and checked) and apparently checking out some of the scenery along the way. Damn, that was cool. It was like right out of some old movie, only, you know, real.
Those things have some rumble.

today is AWESOME day!
Jun. 11th, 2007 08:28 pmToday was voice jury day in Music 137 - basically, it's the singing final, you go and do your class song and your solo in front of the singing classes at your general level and appropriate faculty and get graded and THIS WAS THE BEST THING EVAR AND THIS ENTIRE SIDE TRIP OF A YEAR IS NOW WORTH IT OMG
I mean, there isn't really a lot to tell, it took three and a half hours, starting with voice warmups, and then people taking turns with their bits, and really everybody did awfully well (to me, most people sounded better than they ever had in class) and then I got up and started fine, which is good because starting Amarilli is difficult for me, and then I turned a corner somehow and I don't have a good analogy but I kind of ate the song alive on stage including adding some of the decorative notes that I just haven't even practiced and NAILING them and then not falling apart or ANYTHING and and and!
And then I was done and got off stage without falling over or anything and then a bunch of the Really Good People in class were all THAT WAS AMAZING and afterwards Minami was all <hug> and Susan (instructor) was all <hug> and "I can't believe how far you've come" and and and!
And then there were people who were just in the (tiny) audience looking over at me and pointing me out as I was leaving and then I ran into Minami again and gave her one of my calling cards and to remember whose card it was she wrote "sings" on it because THAT'S HOW SHE THINKS OF ME omg. (Minami is a classmate, Japanese college/exchange and stuff, and REALLY GOOD also.)
And really that's most of it but omg!
So now that this mini-exile is worth remembering happily I went and bought a school mug. ^_^ I looked for a music department mug or something but i didn't see anything, so I got one with the school colours which are green and gold instead.
Now I have to go study for my zoology final. don't care WORTH IT

"...Amiga?" Yes, that Amiga. BOOT UP YOUR A500s, KIDS, IT'S TIME TO PLAY SOME HOCKEY!
Seriously, it's like getting a news update from some alternate world where Commodore mattered. It's like hearing that Acorn Computers or Sinclair Research won the bid to provide the server core for the Vancouver Olympics. "The Amiga Center at Kent will be a launch platform for new and innovative Amiga technologies." what? "Amiga Center at Kent will have the technology in place allowing event-goers to watch instant replays on a handheld device and to order, pay for and have food delivered using only a cell phone." what? This whole thing is chock full of "what?"

Amiga purchases naming rights for venue in Kent

Just days after wrapping up the 2006-07 season, the Thunderbirds had their eyes on the start of the 2008-09 season.
That's what happens when a hockey team long frustrated with an undesirable venue is rewarded with a new arena. The T-Birds came one step closer to that realization Tuesday when the city of Kent announced that technology company Amiga had purchased the naming rights to the proposed Kent Events Center.

In other news, the chief executive, Mr. Bush, is now ranting like a second-rate Bond villain:
This is actually kinda creeping me out here.
I had a thing for next about fucked up television commercials (a woman giving a burrito a porno-movie blow job, a short video essay about how using cash instead of a charge card to buy fast food destroys the world and makes everyone hate you) but I just can't seem to make it fit with the rest of this.

Here, have some links with comments:
I like
zark's summary of the of the Iraq Study Group report. Clickie like you wanna.The Council on Foreign Relations has weighed in on American oil consumption as a national security question; Independent Task Report nr. 58 is online here. They stay away from directly addressing the over all total-liquids plateau/peak question, but they talk specifically about the end of cheap oil, and note how badly our strategic position is affected, particularly with regard to the major oil producers. The Oil Drum as their commentary here but I've said it before and I've said it again; don't live car-bound. Seriously. I'm not saying don't have a car; I have a car. I also have a truck. I use one of them once, maybe twice a week. But I don't depend on them. Have options. Encourage local development and retrofit to build in options for you, too.
I'm not going to post a direct link because I don't want a clam attack to take it out, but your favourite video clip site (not google) has the actual orientation film for the Super Adventure Club online, in four parts. Searching for it from within said site should be pretty easy for you, and omg t3h crazy. I particularly enjoy the first reel and its North Korean Dear Leader-esque personality cult rapturing about, well, you know who.
Oh, and you've probably heard that wii have a problem holding on to controllers. Best domain name I've seen all year.

Sorry there haven't been any CWUs yet this week; it's the last week before finals and all the assignments are due. I'll put one together Friday at the latest. The biggest stinks going on right now in the US: the last-minute attempt to push some anti-abortion legislation through Congress before the Democrats take over in January, more War On Christmas bullshit, and most of all, how Mary Cheney and her lesbian partner's baby are going to destroy America. The biggest thing outside the US - that I haven't covered yet - is a new Creationist movement in Africa trying to get museums to hide fossil findings that contradict their religious beliefs. Fun!
In anime news, RahXephon doesn't actually stop getting any less fucked up as it goes along. That's pretty cool. I want to make a TERRA uniform to wear at conventions. ^_^

it's about 19oF here or -7.1oC, and it's really pretty out. I wonder if we have big enough cardboard for sledding. We didn't get any more snow over night but it got really cold and the 5" on the ground from last night are still there.
I said we shoulda gotten a toboggan. But I didn't see one. Foo. ^_^

Not that anybody's interested, but the busses on Bothell Way from North Seattle/Lake City through Kenmore seem to be running. In case, you know, your school isn't closed. Or something. ^_^
