26th-May-2012 09:05 am - my regularly scheduled essay panic, don't mind me
[info]beccaelizabeth
Kracauer is a nincompoop and I have less than 1000 words left to explain why.
A lot of other people have explained why in quite a lot of detail, but having read the stupid book I feel the need to join in.

Also my essay is not turning out to be about what I set out to make it be about.
Since we have to make up the question this time I could possibly tweak the question to fit the end result better, but, I don't want to, I just want to fix the essay.

It is full of quotes and empty of meaning right now.

On the plus side I found all the quotes I wanted.

On the minus side it's really far too many quotes.

Why are people so wordy? Everyone should have a 1500 word limit. Then they can't arse about inventing new language and explaining it, they have to have a point.


Actually Kracauer was answering a widely felt need to find an explanation for the general feeling of "WTF Germany WTF" after WWII. Most of the world was busy explaining to themselves that they were not and could not be fucking Nazis. Lots of books explained all the symptoms of being nazis and how the reader, not being German, didn't have them.

I feel this is a slightly misapplied effort. But I'm not a big fan of humans.

... I think between Maus and the shadow of Hitler that Kracauer's big book threw all over Weimar cinema we have been studying vaguely Nazi bastards all college year.

As soon as I get this essay done I am going to rinse my brain.



... as soon as I get this essay done I need a research proposal and annotated bibliography about Doctor Who. Which should be good brain rinse. Except I have this horrible sinking feeling that I'm not going to get anything at all reasonable done, and I should have by now, easily, so I feel really deeply stupid.

Arse.

I have no sense of scheduling or time management or whatever else.
... also I have either insomnia or sleeping more than 12 hours, take your pick, both are quite destructive to actually getting stuff done.

I still only have until midnight Friday to do all this work. With the extension already.

Arse!

25th-May-2012 08:48 pm - Rainbow rocks on beach
[info]lemonlye
Put together and photographed by me this morning on a beach in Seattle...



No paint (or other artificial color), no photo editing; just the right colors pulled from the mix and put in rainbow order. Easy to replicate on most beaches. At least, most beaches around here. Perhaps not on those all-black-sand-and-rock beaches in Hawaii.

Tycho:

Whenever we come up with something dumb, something that’s supposed to be a joke like the game in the strip, a lot of times it starts to grow on me.  I don’t know!  I think there’s a lot of headroom there.
I do have a Kickstarter problem, though, and it may require a technology a sophisticated as Gabriel’s to bring this irresistible drive to its conclusion.  Part of it is that…  yeah.  Right?  Arimaa is cool, and a beautiful set that honors Arimaa is wanty, that is to say, it generates want.
I think that I could elaborate

25th-May-2012 03:14 pm - Thor/The Avengers, 7 Darcy/Bruce Recs, 1 Natasha/Bruce Rec
[info]super_tricie341
[info]het_reccers
Based on the comments in my last Darcy rec post, you people really, really like Darcy/Bruce (as you should), so I come bearing more recs! :D

Fandom Category: Thor/The Avengers
Pairing: Darcy Lewis/Bruce Banner, Darcy/Hulk
Fic Title: The "everyday i'm getting closer to you" series
Author: arosynose
Link: Part 1: Because Seriously, Fuck Mondays
Part 2: Tuesdays are for Disney Drinking Games and Green Cookie Monsters
Part 3: Wednesdays Require Coffee and Booze in Copious Quantities
Part 4: Thursdays are Balmy (But That's Just the Weather)
Rating/Warning(s): Not rated, but I'd say PG-13 for language
Genre: FLUFF. ALL THE FLUFF
WIP?: Yes

Why This Must Be Read: This is actually mostly Darcy/Hulk--Bruce has yet to make an appearance but oh man is there a hilarious misunderstanding of that situation on Darcy's part. In any case, Hulk saves Darcy from the Chitauri and pretty much falls in love with her at first sight. From then on, whenever he's in Hulk form, he makes an effort to go see her and it is adorable. Seriously, people, this will give you so many Hulk feels you won't even know what to do with yourself. And Darcy is just...a;sdfasdf, so perfect, with her fabulous wit and her unconditional acceptance of the Hulk. So, so good. Highly recommended


( 6 more Darcy/Bruce recs )

Also, have a bonus Natasha/Bruce rec because I just found it and IT IS SO GOOD I had to rec it.


Fandom Category: The Avengers
Pairing: Natasha Romanova/Bruce Banner
Fic Title: A Fine Spur
Author: lettered
Link: http://archiveofourown.org/works/412095
Rating/Warning(s): T/PG-13. Warnings for violence
Genre: Post movie, character study
WIP?: No

Why This Must Be Read: This is a fantastic, long, plotty read. Bruce goes off the grid again and Natasha is sent to bring him back in. There's some incredible characterization and meta in here. Bruce and Natasha are really just 2 sides of the same coin and it is fascinating to read. Bruce isn't sure whether he's being manipulated and honestly, neither is the reader. I don't have words to describe how glorious this is. Just read it and lavish praise on the author because this is tremendous.
