10th-Jul-2009 11:18 am - What is up with Amazon.com?
Huh?
Is anyone else having problems placing their orders with Amazon? I've tried half a dozen times to order one lousy book since yesterday and the site keeps giving me a "sorry, no connection possible right now" response.

This is getting exceedingly frustrating.
9th-Jul-2009 12:43 pm - Evil fursuiters want your children! :P
Happy woof!
No, seriously, that's how this is being swung.



Even more amusing is the amount of errors in the report about the con and the fandom. Tell me, when did the idea of "getting the facts straight" justup and die in American news reporting? This is almost something I'd expect from the glory days of the 19th century, when they ran exposes like the True Confessions of Maria Monk and similar drivel.

Cretins.

More info can be found here on [info]damaron's journal.
9th-Jul-2009 12:13 pm - Back from AC
Happy woof!
I'll be posting a longer review of the con later; this year was a little more exciting than I would've liked. And poor Kage! Between the elevator drunk fights, the local junkies freaking out over the fursuiters, the freakout in the Zoo on Sunday night (that dragged in the Dorsai, the hotel dicks, the Pittsburgh cops, and the paramedics), and the very polite yet falling-down drunk gal at the one dance, I'm sure that the poor man had an altogether too interesting time of it.

Right now I'll just say that I loved the con, meeting Ken and Heavy (thanks again for the Netbook and printer!), and seeing all the artists and fursuiters. Best all and more details to come!
1st-Jul-2009 11:41 am - Now he really is a (Jedi) Knight!
Happy woof!
This just in: Beloved veteran SF, fantasy, and horror actor Christopher Lee was knighted by Queen Elizabeth.

I wonder if we can call him "Sir Dooku" now? Though this might be a step down for him; after all, he was a Count for a great many years!

More seriously -- all congratulations to you, Sir Lee.
30th-Jun-2009 12:18 pm - In case it matters
Happy woof!
I'll be going to AC in just a few more days, staging out from Gettysburg with Heavy Horse and going back with Ken/Headless Unicorn. If you're going to be at AC, see you there!
29th-Jun-2009 12:21 pm - A Furry Chick Lit Detective Novel?
EEK!
Guess what, someone wrote furry fandom into a novel, and, well... Suffice to say that their 'research' consisted of taking every trashy depiction at face value.

According to the novel, even guys who run sex toy/porn shops think furries are disgusting freaks! *rolls eyes*

Gee, now how long before this ends up on Law & Order:SVU? After all, exploiting people's fears and pandering to their secret love of the freak show is just about the only thing that American TV does at all well any more.

And no I am not in a panic, just rolling my eyes in disgust.
27th-Jun-2009 10:18 am - Not all Elves are nice...
Happy woof!
I posted this idea elsewere, and was surprised to see how many people like it. Maybe some of you here can give me some input on what you think of it:

Something I've long wanted to do with high fantasy elves/Fair Folk was to use them in a story along with humans and the classic mindlessly violent and destructive orcs. And I also want to use the old idea of the Teind, or "Tithe" (a tithe to Hell, paid by the Fair Folk for whatever reason, usually done with human infants and children).

It would be basically as follows:

Humans are fighting the orcs with 'help' from the elves. The elves are snatching their kids somehow or other and shipping them off to Hell (or whatever Powers of Darkness [TM} you wish to use).

Orcs, for their part, seem to have no origin or families even culture beyond "kill everyone else". Someone finally tries to figure out what's going on and learns that this is what's been happening to humanity's lost children for a thousand years -- the get taken to Hell, are tortured and warped into orcs, and then get sent back to commit mayhem on humans.

So the elves have been keeping the humans under control for a millenium by getting them to slaughter their own children.

Good basic idea or not?
26th-Jun-2009 02:42 pm - "El Santo will fight you furries now"
Huh?
Just used my online credit with Noble Knight Games to order a copy of the long-awaited Hero Games book Lucha Libre HERO. Basically, how to use the HERO Games system to roleplay characters and campaigns based on Mexican masked wrestler (or enmascarado, to be fussy) movies, especially the immortal El Santo.

Hey, the theme for AC this year is 'Aliens!'. And El Santo fought aliens, so it kinda fits.

Hopefully the book will arrive before AC so I can use it to terrorize Heavy and Ken during the con. >:)
25th-Jun-2009 11:18 am - When Porn meets Fast Food!
Huh?
You know, I'm not even going to try and touch this one.

*shakes head*
24th-Jun-2009 06:00 pm - The heck?
Huh?
Here I am in the public library, and they're setting up for a rock concert. In the library. Right under the big "QUIET PLEASE" sign.

Am I the only one who is left wondering 'why'?
