Streisselhochzeit [Mon, 20.07.2009 @ 16:01] slashbabe Gestern waren wir also mit Michael und Simone in Seebach im Elsass um uns den Umzug der Streisselhochzeit an zu sehen. Es ist schon seltsam. Es ist zwar schön ganz ohne Kinder zu gehen, aber andererseits kommt man sich schon irgendwie alt vor, wenn es keine kleinen Kinder mehr gibt die man mitnehmen müßte. Wie zu erwarten war, habe ich ein paar "wenige" Fotos gemacht. Es sind wirklich nicht viel. Gerade mal 199. Ein "paar" davon gibt es hinter dem cut zu sehen.

work and crack [Mon, 20.07.2009 @ 13:41] sua_lay [ mood | confused ] Am at work, and to my surprise have actually enjoyed this day. There must be something very wrong with me! Send help and naked Tennants. Or even just one. *cough* Should go home and continue writing crack. Yeah. That sounds so much saner than actually enjoying my work. Hmmm... Anyone interested in making me a few icons? I have a few pictures I'd like to see as icons, but with my crappy picture handling skillz (as in non existent ones), I won't even try to work on them on my own... [2 tales | tell your tale]

Issues with Mental [Sun, 19.07.2009 @ 23:16] _wyrd_sister_ [ mood | swooning ] Is it me or are the cases in Mental just a bit too easy to solve? I mean sure, fuck the cases as long as gorgeous Jack is running around doing...what-(or who-)ever, but somehow the...non-libido-related parts of my brain don't really feel stimulated. ( Mental 1.06 ) ( Mental 1.07 ) ( Mental 1.08 ) (Anyway, best line: Jack confronts the girl's "doctor" who tries to brush him off, as the timing wasn't "convenient" for him. Jack: "Would it be more convenient if I dragged you out of there on your arse?") ♥ ♥ ♥ But yeah, I guess if you constantly watch stuff like CSI, Law & Order, House and the like there are cases that share certain "juicy" similarities. Mental doesn't have an extremely sophisticated way of using them, but what the hell, right? Awww, those eyes... [tell your tale]

movie review [Sun, 19.07.2009 @ 10:43] fabularasa (No, not THAT movie.) I just finished watching a film that's about ten years old, Trembling Before G-d. It's an independent documentary film about the lives and struggles of gay and lesbian Orthodox and Hasidic Jews -- not a large-budget production, which possibly explains why they couldn't afford the extra vowel. I found myself wondering if the film would be any different if it had been made today and not ten years ago. Have any of the cultural shifts and progress trickled through to the Orthodox and Hasidic communities when it comes to dealing with their gay sons and daughters and nephews and nieces and grandchildren and congregants? As the non-Orthodox Jewish community becomes more accepting, and as society at large becomes more matter-of-fact about gayness, does this have any effect on the Orthodox and Hasidic community, or has that simply strengthened their intransigence? I'd be curious to know more. Also, there was one part where I had to fast forward in distaste. One of the most interesting individuals the film followed was a middle-aged Orthodox gay man who, in his youth, had gone through all sorts of (painfully literal) contortions in order to "change," to not be gay any longer. He had gone through interminable counseling, humiliating aversive rituals -- all sorts of really damaging stuff. But he seemed, in many ways, the film's most appealing, balanced, and articulate individual. Anyway, they had him fly back to meet with the rabbi that he first came out to as a young man, and who had first counseled him to seek therapy and a "cure." And all the while, he's talking about how kind this rabbi is, how gentle and understanding, how he's got sweet eyes, and when we meet him, you can really see it, too -- here is a gentle and kind older man. So I was appalled at the impulse to stand there with a camera and have the guy say, yeah, you remember that advice you gave me, IT SUCKED. I couldn't watch, and it seemed to me a violation of two very important Jewish principles: a) you never embarrass or publicly humiliate anyone, and b) you are grateful to any teachers you ever had, even if most of what they taught you was wrong and only one tiny kernel of it was true. There's a saying about being grateful to someone who taught you even the smallest letter of the aleph-bet. Even if you later realize that your teacher was wrong, or that you have "moved beyond" your teacher, you find something to be grateful for. It was a film about intense personal suffering, but part of me rebels at it. It's easy to assume, watching films like this, that gayness is all about suffering, and there's a delicate psychological line there -- if gays suffer so much, a viewer might think, then maybe it means they should be suffering, that suffering is somehow an ontological part of gay existence. It's a bit like if you constructed your whole notion of Judaism from Schindler's List. Making endless films about Jewish suffering leads to the idea that Jewishness is all about suffering, which leads to the whole notion of divinely ordained, punitive Jewish suffering, which leads to, which leads to. So it's a thing: how do you document and bear witness to the oppression of a minority without letting consciousness of oppression dominate an outsider's understanding of minority identity? How do you lead outsiders into the secret treasury of joy that characterizes that experience? So, I dunno. Any readers out there want to share their perceptions of the intersection of Jewishness and gayness? [26 tales | tell your tale]

Remakes wo man hin schaut... [Sat, 18.07.2009 @ 22:47] ten_chan [ mood | *sinier* ] [ music | Merlin Opening ] ...und ich bin so neugierig, dass ich sie gucken muss. (Auch wenn ich mir denken kann, dass sie entweder nicht an die alten Filme/Serien ran kommen, oder nicht mehr viel mit dem Original gemeinam haben.) Zum Beispiel: Andromeda - Tödlicher Staub aus dem All (mit Benjamin Bratt) Das Original aus den 70ern (guckst du hier) hat mich damals als Jugendliche total fasziniert. Oder V (Ich find den Trailer gerade nicht *grummel*) Das Original V-Die außerirdischen Besucher kommen ist ein bisschen mit Schuld an meiner Serien-Sucht. *lach* Ja, wahrscheinlich werde ich mir sogar das Remake von Das A Team angucken. Obwohl ich mir nicht vorstellen kann, jemand anderen als George Peppard, Dwight Schultz, Mr. T und Dirk Benedict in diesen Rollen zu sehen btw: Ich habe heute die slashigste Folge A Team ever gesehen. Ich weiß nicht, wie die Folge heißt. Darin erfährt Murdock, wer Facemans Vater ist. Darf es aber nicht sagen und kämpft die ganze Folge lang damit, ob er es ihm doch sagt. Am Ende stirbt der Vater und Faceman ist sauer, dass Murdock es ihm nicht früher gesagt hat. Aber am Ende haben sie sich wieder lieb. ^^ Jetzt ratet mal, was mein Pairing ist? *lach* Und es ist nicht die Folge, bei der mir aufgefallen ist, wie sehr die beiden sich lieb haben. *rofl* [tell your tale]

[Sat, 18.07.2009 @ 20:03] mabiana [ mood | weird ] Inbetween knitting a lot (I'm determined to get this unexpectedly pink thing finished as soon as possible - either in the hope I'll like it after all when it's done, or to offer it to my mother who looks good in pink, although I'm not sure she'll like the cut for herself) I made a bit of jewelry: ephemera, one of the raven pendants is for you, if you want it - and if you want it, which one? I have been given bindweed seeds for my birthday - the plants didn't turn out to look particularly healthy, so I am especially pleased to see that one of them got a blossom. ( Actually so much that I'll give you a photo even though my camera didn't really want to focus on the flower. ;-)  ) ( And a dinner guest ) And I have finally solved the riddle why there are blue curved lines on my computer housing - it's the blue nail varnish on my toe nails rubbing off. :-D [5 tales | tell your tale]

Unglaublich [Sat, 18.07.2009 @ 08:55] slashbabe Die Japaner kopieren deutsches Kino???? Ich bin platt. Und es handelt sich sogar um einen Film den ich im Original mag. "Knockin' on Heaven's Door" mit Til Schweiger und Jan Josef Liefers. Natürlich mußten sie unbedingt einen "Kleinigkeit" ändern. Statt zwei Männer, sind diesmal Mann und Frau unterwegs zum Meer. Eigentlich schade. Die Deutsche Version war trotz der Szene im Hotel immer noch ziemlich slashig. Dafür hat die Japanische Version Nagase Tomoya in der Hauptrolle. Das macht vieles wieder gut. :) Edit: ....und eben lese ich, Nino hat in dem Film einen Gastauftritt als Host. Yeah Panda! \O/ [4 tales | tell your tale]

[Sat, 18.07.2009 @ 06:41] i_am_schizo Keep your fingers crossed that the weather will hold. Seriously, how fucked-up is it that all over the week we had warm temperatures and now on the weekend it’s supposed to rain while on Monday the broadcast says summer will be back!? I wanna go and watch the gay pride parade in Frankfurt today and have sushi and ice cream afterwards (yeah, fish & ice cream is a great combination!!) and I really don’t need it to rain all day long. I’ve been looking forward to this for weeks now and after feeling particularly shitty again yesterday evening I think gay pride, sushi and Häagen Dasz ice dream would make for a welcome distraction. So, weather? BE NICE!! No raining, you hear me!? [tell your tale]
