An article about the artist responsible for the iconic Obama "Hope" poster in a legal dispute with the Associated Press over copyright of the image used.
I dunno, seems transformative enough to me. I don't know if artist Fairey is going to make that argument or not.

Nov. 25th, 2008 09:49 amLarge Fireball over Edmonton
By triangulating fireball images from several simultaneously recorded sources, astronomers hope to find an approximate orbit from whence the object came, as well as the likely place(s) on Earth where large pieces would have impacted, were they to have survived reentry. In the best case scenario, pieces would be recovered from a known deep space comet or asteroid, giving humanity an unprecedented look at an ancient object that likely holds clues to the early years of our Earth and the Solar System.
This is the part whereTorchwoodPolice and Army personal approach the burned out pieces of asteroid out in some field somewhere and release some sort of deadly sex pheromone alien, or a bacteria that makes us all pod people, or the asteroid is really a signal from above for the large dormant metallic aliens below the ground to awaken and cause havoc, death, and mayhem, only to be brought down by the common cold. Or possibly its a family of four on the hot trail of a skinny Time Lord.

In other news, I called in sick yesterday because I have a teensie tiny cold. It felt decedent. I did not, however, do any laundry, which is SAD, because I could barely carry all of my dirty clothes, that's how much laundry I have. I was very close to dropping it off at a laundromat to do for me, but it would have cost me a horseback riding lesson. :(
What I did do was work on my hlh_shortcut story (YAY), read source for Yuletide (YAY) and watched several hours of State of Play, the UK version obviously, and also watched 24: Redemption.
( My very erudite comments on State of Play )

Is it true that The Riches has been cancelled?
Yes, but we're doing a film. We're going to write it and we're going to raise money like Barack Obama through the internet. And we're going to shoot it guerrilla-style, using gorillas to actually shoot it. We're going to give them cameras. It's going to be crazy.

Prince at centre of gay marriage storm.
A source close to Prince told Perez Hilton: "What His Purpleness actually did was gesture to the Bible and said he follows what it teaches, referring mainly to the parts about loving everyone and refraining from judgment. We're very angry he was misquoted."
His Purpleness!

Video of Dominic West (from The Wire) talking about his new Oliver Cromwell drama The Devil's Whore on Channel 4.
The Devil's Whore also stars John Simm, as if I needed more incentive to watch it. All together it looks like something I could eat with a spoon.

Everyone needs a good story about shark poop.
A crew has managed to record a whale shark - the world's biggest fish - expelling food waste, which was then scooped up for research.
Biologist Mark Meekan said the sample had helped him to discover more about the giant creature's feeding habits.
He said: "It does seem rather weird, someone being so excited about seeing whale shark poo. And I'm pretty certain that this is the first time it has been filmed.
dude, they got a shark doing his business on film. bwah.

This article in the NY Times about the rigorous vetting process for jobs with the Obama Administration is very interesting! For a Washington Job, Be Prepared to Tell All.
Only the smallest details are excluded; traffic tickets carrying fines of less than $50 need not be reported, the application says. Applicants are asked whether they or anyone in their family owns a gun. They must include any e-mail that might embarrass the president-elect, along with any blog posts and links to their Facebook pages.
The application also asks applicants to “please list all aliases or ‘handles’ you have used to communicate on the Internet.”
I can see my application now. "oh hai I write pr0n on the intarwebs hire me! :D :D :D." It'd be hilarious if the fanfic and the LJ and the pr0n were all okay, but the administration would then draw a line at excessive fanwanking. haha.
Sometimes, folks, you gotta make your own humor.

Honestly I've lost all capacity to be stern with them. They just stand around mooning at each other. This is not helpful.

authors on the election
Nov. 6th, 2008 10:13 amWriters welcome a literary president-elect."
For Morrison and others, the election of Obama matters not because he will be the first black president or because the vast majority of writers usually vote for Democrats. Writers welcome Obama as a peer, a thinker, a man of words — his own words. ...
"Until now, my identity as a writer has never overlapped with my identity as an American — in the past eight years, my writing has often felt like an antidote or correction to my Americanism," says "Everything Is Illuminated" novelist Jonathan Safran Foer.
"But finally having a writer-president — and I don't mean a published author, but someone who knows the full value of the carefully chosen word — I suddenly feel, for the first time, not only like a writer who happens to be American, but an American writer."
~~~
Today I had a new riding instructor as my usual guy was out of town, and she made me ride with my feet out of the stirrups, which I've done before but on a western saddle which gives you a bit more balance, so this time on english (and on a horse eager to go fast) it was harder. I apparently lean in too far forward, like for jumping only, which I knew was a problem.

I don't want you guys using words with no meaning. I'm taking the stairs.
How about bullshit? How about bullshit, Sam?
They were playing The Fugitive on cable this weekend. Can you tell? Big Dog!
~~~
Heroes producers fired. Dang! That's... drastic, and not necessarily the right solution. And also, possibly something that's going to be a headache here at work. argh.
But seriously, is season 3 that bad? Man, I tell you, they're paying for their hubris after season 1. Remember kids, wildly successful first seasons are bad traps for TV shows. Or rather, as the saying goes, try not to believe your own press.
~~~
Okay, I had no intention of seeing Zach and Miri Make a Porno, at least not right away, but press stories with headings like this just might get me yet: Smith Enjoyed Making Superman Kiss Another Guy.
I submit, in relevant part:
Smith says, "I asked him, 'Brandon, do you have some sort of morals clause in your contract that you can't play a role like this, since you played Superman?' He's like, 'What, is this 1942? Of course I don't have that! As long as I don't play another superhero.'
"I said, 'Fantastic, now go in there and kiss that dude!' I did think it was cute that I got to direct Superman making out with a guy."
~~~
And in somewhat related news, Sacha Baron Cohen is causing more havic in his new Bruno film, gate crashing Prop 8 events. haha. Love the title. :D

And now, A man wants to legalize marriage to cartoon characters.
"I am no longer interested in three dimensions," he explained. "I would even like to become a resident of the two-dimensional world.
"However, that seems impossible with present-day technology. Therefore, at the very least, would it be possible to legally authorise marriage with a two-dimensional character?"
Tim Gunn is concerned. I tell you, they're having much more fun over in Japan. Or possibly not having more fun. Wave of the future? Yoiks.

It's been a while since I bored you all with horsey talk, but really I have not much to say other than it's AWESOME. I had my weekly lesson this morning and so now I'm sleepy and pleasantly sore. Rode the very go go go Idaho. My instructor started me on flying lead change on figure eight cantering which I pretty much completely failed at, hahah, but it was fun still. Actually we didn't really start on flying lead changes, but rather going down to a trot and picking up the other lead, but Idaho had a mind of his own about all this. He wouldn't drop down to a trot and then just did the flying change on his own and I was like, hello! so that's what that feels like.
Every week I have all this weird anxiety over my upcoming lesson, but usually on the day of I'm thrilled to pieces and then the lesson is always ten times awesome. It has gotten better, in any case, and at least I'm sleeping pretty well the night before.
Last week I had a horse who can't go in the x-ties, so I had to tack in the stall and that was new. That was Maryland, and she likes to turn her head and bite you (although, well, I'm sure she'd bite if she could, but it's mostly just a nip) and didn't want me to pick her hooves or anything, and hated being brushed, but she was great on the flat. Whatever, lady. I just kept pushing her head away.
yayz, fun, so ti ti now, zzzzz.

Is anyone else following this major brouhaha over at the BBC regarding Russell Brand and Jonathan Ross prank calling actor Andrew Sachs, he who was Manuel on Faulty Towers? Not that I'm really that big a fan of either comedian at all (although I admit they both make me laugh), seems like it's blown way out of proportion. I mean, people are quiting, investigations by Ofcom, politicians are demanding apologies, the public has sent in a ton of complaints, Ross's show is suspended and may be chucked, heads are flying. Except that, you know, it's Manuel! How do you make fun of Manuel, man? That's low.
Here you can see Russell Brand's apology. He kind of skeeves me out, but hey, he's a comedian, I feel like he's done worse than this. Ross should have known better, though, he's been around forever.
Whatever, clearly I'm bored to tears at work. ;)

Manuel: Ohh, he hit me on the head.
Major Gowen: No! You hit him on the head. You naughty moose.
German Guest: However did they win?

It's been a while since I bored you all with horsey talk, but really I have not much to say other than it's AWESOME. I had my weekly lesson this morning and so now I'm sleepy and pleasantly sore. Rode the very go go go Idaho. My instructor started me on flying lead change on figure eight cantering which I pretty much completely failed at, hahah, but it was fun still. Actually we didn't really start on flying lead changes, but rather going down to a trot and picking up the other lead, but Idaho had a mind of his own about all this. He wouldn't drop down to a trot and then just did the flying change on his own and I was like, hello! so that's what that feels like.

Who Pooped in the Ballot Box?
Oct. 29th, 2008 03:57 pmOkay, so, this is what I'm settling on for noms for Yuletide. I don't know why I'm having such a hard time with this this year. Bah.
Eyes
Northanger Abbey
Emma
Roman Holiday
Oz Books - L. Frank Baum
And then I have a roving 6th spot: I have a complete, deep, irrational fear that Ocean's 11 won't be nominated by other people even though it's a Yuletide fav every year and so I might just give it to O11. Hustle I know is being covered by others, as I'm fairly sure is Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. I decided to axe North and South because it's really too obscure; there's no point. This allows for Emma, which deserves some love. I'm in a flush of Oz love, for some reason, and I asked for Roman Holiday last year and I would still love to see a Joe/Anya or even a Joe/Irving. Flight of the Conchords was my gift last year and Gosford Park was my gift the year before that, as was Wiseguy. I may still want to request WG; the requests are gonna be a whole other ball of wax.

In other news, I hear something about a Doctor? Anyone else hear this? I don't know, might not be important. ( clicky click for my reactions to that totally unimportant DW spoiler whatever, yadda yadda. )

I leave you with "Who Pooped in the Ballot Box?"
