Marriage is love.


The parodies were starting to trigger the irony warnings, so I thought I'd post the real thing. Especially after having a couple of comments nuked on the subject in someone else's LJ.

Also, the random music from the collection meme.

As I understand it, just the first n tracks that show up randomly, where n is either 5 or 10 - I've seen it both ways.

Here's fifteen, just to be an overachiever. Not that this really tells you all that much more than just looking down the recent entries of my LJ; I only pick 'the right tune' for one in ten entries, or so.

Monks of Doom's Soundtrack To The Film "Breakfast On The Beach Of Deception" : Insana and Her Manchild
The Orb's Cydonia : Firestar
Ashley MacIsaac's Hi(tm) how are you today ? : Sad Wedding Day
Danny Elfman's Music for a Darkened Theatre : Big Top Pee Wee
The B-52's' Play Loud : Hero Worship
Daft Punk's Homework : Around The World
Devo's Greatest Hits : Through Being Cool
Morton Subotnick OHM: Early Gurus Of Electronic Music (Disc 2) : Silver Apples Of The Moon, Part 1
Jethro Tull's 25 Years of Jethro Tull (Disc 1) - Remixed Classic Songs : Bungle In The Jungle
Nine Inch Nails's The Fragile (Left) : Even Deeper
Ashley MacIsaac's Hi(tm) how are you today ? : Wing-Stock
Astor Piazzolla's Tangos Arranged for Saxophone and Orchestra : La Muerte del Ángel
Genesis' Wind & Wuthering : Wot Gorilla?
Man or Astro-man?'s A Spectrum of Infinite Scale : Obligatory Part 2 Song in Which There is No Presently Existing Part 1, Nor the Plans to Make One

And finally - I said something about this in less public places, but... I think I've effectively left Furrymuck and Tapestries and HLM in favor of Puzzlebox. I'm just not interested in sitting around in a virtual fursuit bitching about my shitty life or what's on TV any more now that I've had a real taste of more interesting play. If I'm going to pour my life out through text windows, I'd rather make something clever and beautiful and surreal in the process. I still check p#mail on Peggy and Kalinda every couple of days, and there's always AIM, but if you want to spin narrative with me in real-time, you'll really have to get into Puzzlebox and play with the very-IC facets.

I maintain the gaming one wasn't a parody, but a faithful tribute. ^_^

Everyone's music list looks more cultured than mine! Mine would read as a heavy metal devil-sign party, with a few interesting geeky inclusions, like Cirque Du Soleil music or tracks from System Shock 2.

Nono... Mine is just as lame. All pretentious neo-black metal and geekdeath.

The parodies were also starting to get rather far afield. Mine (http://www.livejournal.com/users/kinkyturtle/117924.html) at least bears more of a resemblance to the original!

(And for the record, I support gay marriage too. Or at least, I support anything that'll let same-sex couples have all the same rights and privileges as hetero couples. And sometimes I wish I had a ray gun with which I could turn some politicians gay!)

Thanks! n.n I drift in and out of the furry thing; mostly, I'm a xenophile who happens to know a lot of furries.

I try to stay away from people who want to talk about Being Out As Christians. It only ever pisses me off.

Fake market research

Hello. We have to come up with a magazine concept for on one of my Graphic Design classes, and I was thinking of doing one targeted at professional animators and people interested in the techincal aspects of animation. Since you've worked in animation, I was wondering if you could say a word or two about what magazines, if any, are out there for animtors, and what you'd like to see in such a magazine?

Thanks in advance...

Mmm, interesting off-topicness!

As far as I know there's really nothing for animators. 'Animation' used to be for fans of the medium, but it's really turned into a press-release rag. They mostly glorify the execs.

Animation Blast has some interesting stuff in its few physical issues - interviews with the few people from the Old Days who're still alive, overviews of the careers of half-forgotten geniuses.

I'm not sure if Animato is still around, that wasn't half-bad. Toon was decent too, despite its lamentable name.

Probably an Ideal Magazine would also have things like a regular guest rant from a noted creator (before 'Animation' went all corporate, they had a series of articles by John K!) on whatever they felt like going on about; tool reviews by the people who actually have to use them, technique columns (the basics and dark arcana), reviews of new series and DVD/tape releases that're worth watching... interviews with the people who make the things, overviews of the situation in other countries...

There are magazines for animation fans, but nothing really for animators in particular. You could probably measure the number of people who've seriously done it for a living in the States - ever - in the hundreds of thousands, with maybe no more than a few thousand ever doing it at once. These numbers are, I admit, achieved by pulling them out of my ass.

Also, such a magazine would have a pretty small market, have trouble attracting advertisers, and thus be printed on terribly shitty paper, so you should consider that in your design. n.n

Excelent. Mind if I quote some or all of this in class?

It had crossed my mind that you wouldn't get rich publishjing this magazine. =:)

Sure, go ahead.

You'd probably get very broke. *smirk*
