3:09 pm - Drabble meme
|
Okay, okay, I am still working on the drabble meme. Promise! But here are three I already wrote:
For ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) medize, who wanted "Ooh! Can we do Swordspoint? It's hard to decide what to request - maybe something with Alec and Richard and either of their families, or Richard and Jessica, or Alec/Richard before Richard retires to the countryside or, you know, anything really. :D"
( Medize's drabble )
For veleda_k, who wanted "Hisoka: Rage, rage against the dying of the light."
( Veleda's drabble )
For parallactic, who wanted "Hisoka and the Necronomicon."

26. Faith Adiele Meeting Faith: The Forest Journals of a Black Buddhist Nun
Faith is the daughter of a Swedish mother and a Nigerian father; she grew up in a small town in the Midwest. She is smart, motivated, and involved, and her drive to succeed gets her a scholarship to Harvard, where she is involved in social work in addition to her classes.
And the pressure quickly causes her to fail and drop out.
This book is a memoir, mainly focusing on the time Faith spent in Thailand, where after leaving Harvard she went to work on an Anthropological research project about the status of women, particularly Buddhist nuns. Faith eventually decides to live as a nun herself for a season. The book jumps around in time a great deal, following a chapter about daily life as a nun with one about Faith's childhood, and then with another about prostitutes in Thailand's big cities. This style sometimes made things a little hard to follow, but it also was great for focusing on thematic issues instead of narrative. Another thing I disliked was that the book is published in a style that has quotes from scholars, Buddhist practitioners, and Faith's journal along the edges of the pages, making it look more like a textbook than a memoir.
However, I did like this book a lot. It's written in a style that accommodates both people who know nothing about Thailand or Buddhism with those who have more knowledge. Faith's comparison of the pressure and the succeed/fail mentality of Western culture against the more internal processes of Thai Buddhism are also pretty insightful, although they can be a bit simplistic at times. I really enjoyed her descriptions of meditation and mindfulness. She is a very vivid writer, and very readable. I really enjoyed this book.
Also recommended: If anyone is looking for more recommendations of books by POC, I really liked this podcast/blog post. Three African-American women talk about books they like. Not all the books mentioned have POC authors, but many do. Plus, though I'd never listened to this podcast before I stumbled on it today, these guys are really funny.

25. Amjed Qamar, Beneath My Mother's Feet
A young adult novel about Nazia, a 14-year-old in a working-class family in Karachi, Pakistan. Nazia is smart, doing well in school, and engaged to her cousin. However, when her father is injured and loses his job, things quickly go downhill. Nazia's mother gets a job cleaning houses, and Nazia is forced to drop out of school to help.
This book was seriously brutal in the multitude of bad things which happen to Nazia and her family. It never came off as unbelievable or emotionally manipulative, but it was shocking to see how little a supportive net there was available for this family, and how quickly they lost everything. Overall, this wasn't even a depressing book, mainly because of Nazia, who is a strong and optimistic character. She may have a bit too much faith in people, but she relies on herself, and ends up finding her own solution. Recommended.

So! I have horrible writer's block. I am trying this to solve it, but there are no guarantees of anything coming of it.
Drabble meme time! Make a request, get a drabble: just give me a fandom, characters, pairings, prompts, words, photos, whatever. And then I will write you a drabble. We hope.

7:10 pm - Sunshine
|
New York has been having record rainfall; it rained 25 days out of 30 in June. It seems to have finally stopped. This week, at least, has been more sunny than not, and the forecast holds out hope that such luck will continue. The sun seems surprising, or short-lived; I feel as though I shouldn't be inside. It's a feeling I get in late fall, sometimes, when you know there's only a few warm, bright days left before winter arrives, and full advantage should be taken of every one.
The sky is high and that particular shade of summer-time baby-blue, slightly paler around the horizon. There are no clouds to be seen. The grass and trees are every shade of living, growing green, from almost yellow to almost black, and everything in between. The light catches some of them, drops others into shade, increasing the number of greens. The tops of the trees look like brocade, the light and dark like a pattern. When the wind blows, the trees toss, and the light shafts below move, skimming across the leaves of bushes and ivy that grows on the ground.
And all these colors and shifting take place against the backdrop of New York's buildings: their still geometrical blocks in dark glass and and gray stone and shining metal, the straight lines of the roofs, sharp against the blue sky.

3:02 pm - Two short reviews
|
23. Mariko Tamaki and Jillian Tamaki, Skim
This is a graphic novel about Skim, a Japanese-Canadian teenage girl dealing with her parents' divorce, her rough relationship with her best friend, the suicide of another student, learning about Wicca, and oh, yeah, falling in love with her female teacher.
A lot of other people have reviewed this book, and I don't really have much to add. The art was gorgeous, plain black and white lines that went from sparse to lush. The story-telling is excellent, particularly in its use of silence, or understatement, to capture emotion. And personally, I really identified with Skim's interest in Wicca; I was totally that teenage girl.
Overall, a really lovely, quiet book, though one that didn't involve me too emotionally.
24. Malcolm Gladwell, Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking
I read this back in January and forgot to review it, so I will try to remember what I can. This is a nonfiction pop book about first impressions- why we get them, how they form, how they affect our thinking, if they're right, etc. It's an interesting topic. Gladwell's careful to look at both sides of the argument: when subconscious reactions are good, because there's not enough time to think a question through; and when they can be very, very bad- he examines the case of Amadou Diallo, a black unarmed man who was fatally shot by police officers.
Overall, this was a fun, informative book. I gulped it down in one sitting over an afternoon, so it's not a deep thought book, but one I enjoyed reading.

2:30 pm - Merlin
|
I finished the last episode of Merlin! ( Spoiler-y thoughts )
I find that I don't really have the emotional connection to the show that would make it be a real fandom of mine. But it's so close; I feel like I kept seeing the shapes of something that would have been really interesting around the edges of what the show actually is. There's the connection to the vast body of Arthurian legend, of course. Or the story of what makes a good ruler, if peace can be justified by the many bad decisions and tyrannistic tendencies of Uther. Or the story where the choice to use or not use magic was a difficult decision with arguments on both sides (not just the random prejudice of one dude) and real consequences (do neighboring countries still have magic? do they have advantages therefore? Also, why are unicorns okay but not sorcerers?). Or the story of a group of young people learning to govern, balancing idealism against realpolitik. Or the story that's a comment on class and status, where the power behind each noble is their servant.
But none of those are actually Merlin.
Still! I am now looking for fandom things. Rec me vids, stories, authors, whatever you find neat. Rec yourself, please! There are, obviously, a few authors I already know I want to go read, but tell me them anyway, in case I forgot someone. What do you guys like?

Seen in lots of people's LJs, but taken most specifically from wesleysgirl: Name fifteen books you've read that will always stay with you, and don't take too much time to think about it (the first fifteen you can recall in no more than 15 minutes). Copy this into your own post.
I'm probably forgetting some deeply significant book which I will remember as soon as I post this, but oh well. In the chronological order of which I read them:

1. True Blood! Oh, True Blood. This show is kinda trashy, and yet I keep loving it more and more. ( Spoilers for last week's episode )
2. Saiyuki Reload 9. Yes, I am a bit behind. But oh! So good! I am absolutely in love with the whole sequence about Hazel as a child. Gorgeous, and creepy, and wonderful. And then Ukoku! I'm trying to avoid spoilers, but: SQUEE. Amazing stuff. You know, at first I did not like a lot of the symbolism in the Saiyuki books- okay, okay, I get it, Sanzo = the sun, whatever- but as time goes on and the symbolism gets more complicated and layers are added, I adore it more and more. I'm really in the mood to go back and reread the whole series right now.
3. Vienna Teng's new CD is really good. Eminem's new CD is boring.
4. Does anyone know anything about Saiyuki Gaiden coming out in English? I remember hearing a rumor a while ago that Tokyopop was supposed to pick it up, but I don't know if anything ever happened with that.

7:00 pm - Fic: Kissing Cousins (Cotillion by Georgette Heyer, Freddy/Jack)
|
Title: Kissing Cousins
Author: Brigdh
Ratings/Warnings: PG-13, allusions to m/m sex
Summary: There are tensions in the family after Freddy and Kitty's wedding.
Notes: Written for cest_what in the Yuletide 2008 Challenge. I can't believe I forgot to post this to LJ! Uh, correcting that now. I don't remember if I had any other notes. I'm not much at writing comedy and, as I discovered Georgette Heyer's bouncy style is way antithetical to my own writing style, but um, here's this.

22. Beverly Jenkins, Wild Sweet Love
Teresa, a train-robbing, bank-robbing, horse-riding, leather-wearing, genuine Wild West outlaw, is finally captured by the police and sentenced to jail. She gets out early on good behavior, under the condition that she does well in a rehabilitation program that requires her to live with a volunteer. Teresa is assigned to Molly Nance, a wealthy woman who decides to teach Teresa how to be a lady. Meanwhile, Molly's son, Madison- a ex-gambler turned banker- and Teresa begin to realize that all their constant bickering has more to do with sexual tension than dislike.
This book is probably the first real "romance novel" I've ever read*, and though it didn't match up to my preconceived notions in a lot of ways, I don't know if that's because this is a unusual example of the genre, because I had misguided stereotypes in the first place, or because this book has an African-American author and characters. Or all three.
I really enjoyed reading this. Many of the negative impressions I had of the romance genre were not in this book- the heroine wasn't a virgin, she and the hero were equally matched physically (they both get into and win fist-fights, at different points in the plot, for example, and even the mom got to knock out a bad guy at one point), the plot was not driven by silly misunderstandings or anyone needing to be rescued (instead there's a believable uncertainty about what kind of relationship they want to have). I liked that there were various elements of politics in the book- the hero attends an anti-lynching convention at one point, while Teresa and Molly have a discussion about different black political movements. This is a very minor detail in the book, but I appreciated its existence.
Overall, this was just a fun book. The writing wasn't amazing, but it was perfectly serviceable, and I liked the understanding between the main characters. I recommend it.
* Though I do adore Georgette Heyer, and have read tons of her books, she's not really useful as an example of the tropes and themes of the modern Romance publishing industry.

21. Ayana D. Byrd and Lori L. Tharps, Hair Story: Untangling the Roots of Black Hair in America
This is a non-fiction book detailing, in vaguely historical order, the styles, meanings, and business of black hair within the United States. It focuses very little on specific hairstyles, instead describing topics like what is "good" hair versus "bad" hair, and how the attributes that make hair "good" have changed over time; various processes and products that tried to make "bad" hair into "good", and who profited economically off of them; the role and symbolism of the Afro (and other hairstyles, but that one in particular) in the political movements of the 1960s and 70s, and others. There are tons of photographs and drawings throughout the book, which showed the changes in depictions of both black people and their hair over time. I also liked how this one, seemingly small, topic allowed for discussion about expressions of racism, support for black-owned businesses, intersections of gender and race, and black people as used in advertising.
I really liked this book. My one complaint is that I would have liked it to go into more detail about some of the topics it covered, but that's not much of a problem.

7:31 pm - Washington Square
|
Washington Square, a small park about the size of an average block, is the park I walk through the most, the one most central to my daily routes. It has been closed for about two years, due to construction intended to move the enormous fountain in the middle of it about eight feet to the left. This is because the fountain was not in line with the arch built at one side of the park, or with Fifth Avenue, which runs up to the Square. Of course, the original designer intended for the fountain to be off-center, to encourage people to stroll around, but clearly no one in charge of the construction was concerned about that.
However! Washington Square is finally open again. And the worst of the proposed changes have not happened- there's no gated fence around the park, and the fountain (which has lovely inner rims for people to sit on and for small children to climb down before running screaming through the water) has not been rendered inaccessible. I'm so happy! And the fountain was particularly lovely today; all white foaming water shooting up against the green leaves of trees. There is even (probably temporarily) a blue sky, after weeks and weeks of unending rain. It's still not really warm enough to appreciate all the joys of cool water (despite it being the middle of June, what the hell is up with the East Coast's weather pattern), but it's still wonderfully pleasing.

8:14 pm - Iran
|
There's a push to get google to change their logo to draw more attention to the situation in Iran. This page seems to be the center for that.
A very good summary of current events in the rallies, while CNN has a good page up with basic information about Iran.
Tomorrow, Friday, is likely to be huge moment in this movement, as people have to choose between continuing to go out on the streets and protest, or go to mosque. The next day, Saturday, is apparently Global Day of Protest, with people trying to organize protests in as many cities as possible. A central page for that effort, though people not on Facebook can look here. In NYC, the plan is for the protest to be in front of the UN, 2-5. Currently the consensus is to wear black (in mourning for those who have died in the protests) and green (the color of Mousavi's campaign, it's also the color of Islam, symbolizing nature and life).
This site has a great flyer. It summarizes a lot of the basic information about the protests, as well as providing URLs to websites with more information. If possible, I recommend printing this off and handing them out. They're a great thing to give to passers-by at a protest.

20. Alex Sanchez, The God Box
Paul (not Pablo, although he used to go by Pablo before he moved to America) is living a pretty content life as the boyfriend of Angie. He's a devout Christian who attends a charismatic church and is part of Bible Study at his high school, and lives in a small town in Texas. His only problem is that he does not feel much of a sexual attraction for Angie, or any other girl. But when Manuel, a openly gay student, moves to town, things start to change.
A lot of this book is taken up with various characters making the Christian arguments against homosexuality, and other characters then refuting them. Which, since I've heard all of these points before, made me start to skim certain spots. I can imagine that for someone who hasn't heard these arguments, though (such as the small town teens who I presume are the intended audience), this book could be a great resource, because the points are stated clearly and made well.
What I thought was most interesting about this book was actually its portrayal of Charismatic and Fundamental Christians, since that's a world I have very little experience with. I like that the book is very firm in emphasizing that it's not Christianity or faith itself which causes people to be bigoted, as the gay characters and their allies continue to strongly identify as Christian at the end of the story.
Overall, a bit of a simple story, but one I found sweet.

19. Tariq Ali, Shadows of the Pomegranate Tree
I really wanted to like this book. I was so excited for it. And then, sadly, it just didn't live up to my expectations. It's so disappointing when that happens!
Shadows of the Pomegranate Tree is set in 1500, just a few years after the Reconquest of the city-kingdom of Granada, the last of the Muslim kingdoms in the Iberian peninsula to fall to the Spanish Christians. Although the peace agreement signed at the time promised that Muslims could continue to practice their faith and speak Arabic, the tide has been turning against them; the novel opens with a scene of Arabic books being burnt. For Muslims in Granada, there are basically three choices: leave their home and move to Africa or the Middle East; convert to Christianity; or attempt to fight the Christians and take back their land (a pretty much hopeless cause, given the relative military strengths of the Muslims and Christians). The main focus of the story is one family of wealthy Muslims who are dealing with these changes and watching how it affects their friends and family. They debate these choices, some people choosing one and some another, and the novel shows the consequences of their decisions. Despite all this, there's a lot of upbeat and cheerful scenes in the novel, such as the courtship of a daughter of the family, or the youngest son's attempts to beat people at chess.
That's all fine: the plot is interesting, the characters are well-drawn. The problem I had with the book was the writing itself. It came off to me very much like a first draft. There were a lot of little not-quite-right phrasings, people abruptly appearing or disappearing from scenes, awkward dialogue, and historical details that seemed off (like the scene where the family is described as eating tomatoes and red chilis. Both of these plants are native to the Americas, and though Christopher Columbus did bring back some peppers from his second trip to the Americas, and so I suppose it's just possible, if unlikely, that they spread quickly enough to be a common food a mere seven years later, Europeans don't seem to encounter tomatoes until almost fifty years after this scene is set. I know this is a little nitpicky detail, but there were lots of things like this that bugged me). Overall, it just seemed like it needed the author to look over it another time.
I finished the book, and enjoyed parts of it, but I can't say that I liked it well enough to recommend it, though people who are less bothered by writing style than I am may have no problem. If anyone knows of any other books about Al-Andalus, I'd love to know! I do already have Ornament of the World on my reading list.

18. Minister Faust, The Coyote Kings of the Space-Age Bachelor Pad
This was a wickedly fun book. Hamza and Yehat are best friends living in Edmonton, Canada, who get involved in a insanely complicated plot involving drug dealers, mystical relics, magical powers, cannibalism, Ancient Egypt, and the forces of good and evil themselves. Of course. Every character in this book is a geek of one sort or another, and the writing is full of references to Star Wars, Star Trek, Stephen King, Watchmen, D + D, and so on. The characters also often mention music, and the descriptions were so good as to make me want to go and and find the stuff mentioned. One of the things I really liked about this book was that most of the characters were politically aware, without the plot necessarily focusing on that aspect. The way it made it seem totally normal for people to discuss feminism, capitalism, racism, the War in Iraq, organic food, and so on without it being a Big Deal or a sign that This Character Is Special was really appreciated.
But the absolute best thing about this book is writing. The style at times approaches lyrics, with the rhythm and beat of the words almost demanding you read some passages out loud. At other times, it's all about the puns and clever wordplay. There's just an amazing use of language in this book. One of the ways it most reveals itself is in the narration: there are about eleven different narrators in this book, and although the chapters aren't labeled with who is speaking or any other obvious clue, it's always easy to tell who the current narrator is. Minister Faust manages to have eleven distinct voices, and that's really impressive.
Anyway. An incredibly fun book. Also, the author has a a blog, which is pretty interesting reading as well.

17. Kashmira Sheth, Koyal Dark, Mango Sweet
Jeeta, a funny, sarcastic sixteen-year-old living in Mumbai, is the youngest of three sisters. Her mother arranges marriages for her older two sisters, but Jeeta is more interested in meeting a boy for herself and dating, rather than deciding to get married based on a few short meetings. Meanwhile, it's her final year of school, and Jeeta needs to decide if she wants to devote enough time to her studies to go to college and, if so, to study what her family wants ("men like a woman with a science degree") or what she wants (law - since she's so good at arguing).
This book skews a bit younger than what I tend to read, even for YA, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. The descriptions of the sights and scents of Mumbai (and especially the food! I loved that there were so many scenes of people eating and cooking) are vivid and well-described. Jeeta's narrative voice has a very distinct rhythm, which threw me off for the first few pages, but I grew to adore its specific flow and style. I also like that the problems presented in the book are fairly complicated; for instance, while some of the arranged marriages depicted have serious problems and don't work out, others work very well, making the people in them happy. I haven't read much set in modern Mumbai, and I really had fun with this book.

6:43 pm - I suppose I need to update my Obama icon.
|
Obama keeps texting me. He didn't used to, you know; after the election I don't think we talked for months. Though, on second thought, that may be because I was in a different country and so was not using my US cellphone.
But he's getting really desperate! Two texts so far today. And one of them was asking me to sign Sotomayor's "virtual cast". Obama! I am not 12. My cellphone is not MySpace. Please to be keeping these facts in mind.

16. Octavia Butler, Bloodchild
This is a book of short stories and essays. I'd never read anything by Butler before, though I know she's very popular, and a book of short stories seemed a good place to start (well, and also the book was sitting right there on the shelf looking at me when I was checking out at the library). The stories are science-fiction, though they range from very similar to the real world (a drug for cancer causes a disease in the children of the people who took it) to very, very different (humans live in a few encampments on a world controlled by giant centipede-like aliens). Unexpectedly, I discovered that I'd actually read two of the stories before, though I have no idea where I would have come across them, since I don't read short stories often. Regardless, they were both excellent, and I was glad to rediscover them. The essays are mostly advice for writers, with one about Butler's own experiences as a science-fiction fan and trying to become a published author.
I really enjoyed this book, and will definitely be reading more of Butler in the future. A lot of people have described her as depressing, but I didn't find these stories to be. Dark, yes, involving people in very bad places, yes, but there always seemed to be a certain... belief in humanity? Or at least in its potential? Not quite sure how to describe what I mean, but these stories didn't come off as depressing to me.

2:25 pm - Things Which I Am Currently Liking a Great Deal:
|
Order of the Stick - web comic. (And one with an actual plot, so you do in fact have to go back to the beginning and read in order.) It's funny and moving and has actual character growth and world-building and suspense and geek jokes and is generally awesome. Also! PoC characters!
Best of the Left - podcast. A news show which plays clips from other shows (usually featuring Rachel Maddow, The Young Turks, the Daily Show, the Colbert Report, among others) all on a single topic. Great way to follow news and important events without listening to every single show out there. Currently updating twice a week.
Betty Bowers Explains Traditional Marriage - video. So, bible-based marriage is between one man, one woman, her sister, her servant...
Cooper's Hill Cheese Rolling - photos. This is fascinating. And hilarious. And makes me wince.
Wolverine in 30 seconds - video. I haven't seen the movie, but... hee.
Richard III: An Arab Tragedy - theater. I am going to this on Friday! I'm excited. It looks awesome.
