- makes it more difficult to identify the crazy people talking to themselves on the street
- allows my mother to call me any time she wants
- generated use for the phrase "someone's ass is ringing"
- Celine Dion ringtones
- created a generation of people who expect to be able to reach anyone, any time
- one more dumb thing to sell and buy at christmas
- more noise on the bus
- one more dumb thing to drop and break

Setting the scene
Jul. 26th, 2009 01:00 amOddly the later it gets the more full this room gets. There are 7 of us here now, 2 bloggers as before, 2 knitters, one woman working on a paper, one playing video games on a nintendo DS and one who is "penseating" which I believe means thinking. Or making fun of bloggers. Either is possible. There has been discussion of ordering a pizza very late just because WE CAN.
There has been a knitting error of epic proportion.
One couch has been declared the couch of sanity. I disbelieve. That couch is no more sane than the rest of the house.
I'm on cup number 3 of coffee. I expect I will be mainlining for a while. I have changed into my comfy clothes for the remainder of the night.
OH shit, my head is resting on the blanket of nap. I think its safe as long as I don't pull it over me.

Jul. 26th, 2009 02:00 amThanks to the generosity of
australian_joe I have surpassed my fundraising goal of $500!!!!!! I feel a second wind coming on!!!!!
Also the total for the event has surpassed $37000. I wonder, could we hit 40k? Its been going up steadily the past few hours.
I thought I'd talk about about the inspiration for the stories I posted earlier.
2 years ago I traveled to West Ireland. The trip was my 30th birthday present from my parents. I was afraid I had set myself up for failure but Ireland really IS the way they say in the brochures. If there is any place in the world where something supernatural or something out of myth exists, West Ireland would be it.
The character came to me as a 27 year old musician during a period of my life where I was rediscovering my love of music. When I explored her origins I found the Ireland connection. Kaden Shea has, as her core, the merger of my two greatest non-human loves. When I put them together I created someone who I knew could not possibly be human. The story that grew up around her was my personal take on the stolen child myth, placed in a landscape otherworldly enough that I can almost believe it could happen.
At 2 am, I think maybe it did.

Jul. 26th, 2009 03:30 amOne of the issues residents of the settlements face is how to handle trips inside the domes. Trips are necessary to the survival of the population BUT how does one go about planning to enter a society, break all its laws, and then exit with needed supplies? Its not like the residents of the dome aren't aware of the theft. Its the same routine every time. Outsiders come in in a group with a vehicle with significant storage. As non-residents they are only permitted 2 days inside, and they are housed in barracks near the border. They purchase whatever their goods will allow them to get. After that they set out to steal whatever else they can and the government inside the dome ALWAYS knows its coming. Because of agreements with the government of the central settlements, they cannot keep trade parties out. However they can significantly limit their movement within the dome. A trade party will be transported from the barracks to a distant supplier by armed guards and given a few hours to negotiate with a shopkeeper. They are taken back to the barracks to discuss the options presented. The next day they return, again with armed guards, to purchase. The following morning they are escorted out of the dome. Factor in that by the time they have crossed the 2-3 mile cloud of toxins outside the dome, half the trade party will be sick and forced to use some of the good to purchase medicine for themselves. There's little time or space to plan any sort of raid or theft. Security is excellent and omnipresent. And yet.... each time a supply run is made, residents of the settlement manage to liberate whatever is needed. The solution of course is that each time, the plan of attack changes. The responsibility for that plan falls on someone back at the largest central and the government of the domes would like nothing more than to eliminate her.

Jul. 26th, 2009 04:00 amBlogathon has passed the 40K mark!
We have settled into watching Babylon 5 on DVD. One of our support crew has never seen the show so why the hell not. I'm flashing back to college. I actually never saw most of the early episodes. I began watching during the third season. Every weekend myself and a bunch of my buddies would lay claim to one of the dormitory TV lounges (the dorm rooms didn't have cable, only the lounges). The show started at 4 but as the series progressed we began showing up earlier and earlier to assure we could get control of the remote in time. The day Z'ha Dum aired, people claimed the tv at 11 am.
After the episode aired, we would go out for dinner and dissect the episode over subs. I followed the show through the rest of the story arc. I joined a mailing list of fans making this my first official step into the world of fandom.
Heehee, that Londo Mollari. What a goof.
Don't forget why I'm here http://www.blogathon.org/pledge.php?blogid=69

Jul. 26th, 2009 04:30 amSo, the woman back at the largest central who manages to keep the outsiders supplied...
As far as anyone can tell, Oska is the only person who was born, raised and came of age INSIDE a domed city who then fled to the outside. Half the population inside isn't aware of any other option. The other half thinks life outside is plague infested poverty. Oska doesn't talk about how or why she left, but she has deep knowledge of security procedures on the inside. She is the one who generates the ever changing attack plans which, so far, have allowed outsiders to get what they need. However she is clear on the fact that they will run out of options. Eventually there will be no weakness or loophole left to exploit. It is her hope that by the time that day comes, outsiders will be able to produce their own medicines. If this doesn't happen, life outside WILL devolved into disease and poverty. She constantly pushes leaders in the centrals to put more energy into research and production, less into elaborate plans to steal from the domed cities.

Coming round the bend....
Jul. 26th, 2009 05:00 amWe are closer to dawn. Babylon 5 viewing continues. Down on the floor, dog number 2 looks up plaintively as if to say "where is my biscuit?" Dog number 3 is sprawled across the floor. Dog number 1 has been on tie down forEVER because she is hyper.
There was some discussion of ordering food but the one place which delivers round the clock has terrible reviews so we will not be doing that. Maybe if we were stoned.
Soul hunters are damn creepy. They have yellow eyes so help me yellow eyes!!!! Also they kill people and steal their souls which is bad and stuff.
I remain deeply jealous of Delenn's awesome purple robe. This soul hunter is totally pulling a "before I kill you Mr Bond" and explaining the method of assassination. Never do that dumbass. Also he has terrible aim with that gun.
Amazingly i don't feel exhausted right now. I had a lie down between posts about and hour ago and I'm okay now.

Would you live on a space station?
Jul. 26th, 2009 05:30 amWatching B5 has me pondering on an old question; would I leave earth for parts unknown... I don't think I could. Number one, I'm terrified of flying on airplanes never mind space craft. I fly all the time but i freak out every time. I can't imagine getting onto some sort of space craft and flying my ass out of the atmosphere off to god knows what.... Space kinda freaks me out. I'm pretty sure this means I have to sacrifice my geek card permenantly. Even if space travel if achieved in my lifetime, I'm staying right here on this rock. I'll take my adventures elsewhere.
New theory! Because the "mind probe" that Adira uses is shaped like a butt plug we have decided that centauri brains are in their butts!!!! It all makes sense now!

Would you live on a space station?
Jul. 26th, 2009 05:30 amWatching B5 has me pondering on an old question; would I leave earth for parts unknown... I don't think I could. Number one, I'm terrified of flying on airplanes never mind space craft. I fly all the time but i freak out every time. I can't imagine getting onto some sort of space craft and flying my ass out of the atmosphere off to god knows what.... Space kinda freaks me out. I'm pretty sure this means I have to sacrifice my geek card permenantly. Even if space travel if achieved in my lifetime, I'm staying right here on this rock. I'll take my adventures elsewhere.

Jul. 26th, 2009 06:00 amIts amazing how tiny a space a large dog can crumple into. Dog number two has his tail up by his nose. Cuteness abounds.
Sun coming in from outside. I forget how light it is at 5:30 this time of year. I manage to forget this every day until I wake up at 5:30 and its bright bright bright.
The right company certainly improves the whole blogathon process. This year has been much easier physically and stress wise, despite the fact that I had a terrible nights sleep before the event. We've had amazing support from some unexpected places. The house we've been in is a total disaster but if thats the worst thing that comes of this, we're doing pretty well.
At some point I should stop drinking coffee so I can sleep when its all over, but that time hasn't quite come yet.
I also want to give a huge shout out to my teammate
tikva who has been fantastic in her first blogathon. Almost 6 am and she is still posting actual content on her disability blog.

Staying up all night is a bit of a mindfuck. Body and brain says we need to sleep, its still night. Eyes say "its light! stay awake!" Ill listen to the eyes for now but I gotta say I am looking forward to putting my head down on a pillow and shutting my eyes.
Still on the Babylon 5 marathon.
Oh, I forgot! Earlier we began writing a filk of "Single Ladies" by Beyonce. It's called "Single Doggies"
If you like then you shoulda put a leash on it!
I really want dog number 1 to dance with me but I've been told its a bad idea to try. I guess dogs just don't boogie but I've got the music in my brain!!!
Oy, why are people on these tv shows so stupid. "Gee this technology bonds with other life forms. Let's just carry it around in a bag and sneak it through customs" and they wonder why people keep getting killed???? Dumbass.
Hey look he bonded with an organic laser beam shooter device and is killing people oh I am so very very very surprised.
You know the drill http://www.blogathon.org/pledge.php?blogid=69

Sittin on the dock of the.... never mind
Jul. 26th, 2009 07:00 amWe are awaiting the arrival of the last member of our support team who will hopefully not get too lost on the way here. One of my friends volunteered to get up early on Sunday and carry us through the last couple of hours.
Perhaps now is a good time to explain WHY I do this. I could just donate a bunch of money to this cause myself. I might in fact. There is something nice about raising money for a cause by pulling together a groups of small donations. It allows people to see how all the little pieces come together. But there's something else.
In order for great things to be achieved every person needs to be willing to put in some effort and sometimes make sacrifices. This is something i can do, since I can't throw over $500 at a charity most of the time.

Everything is really funny right now. I tried to write a serious post about why I do these events but all I can think is "hey let's set the Narn on fire I bet the scales burn pretty"
Sponsor me, I gave up my brain for yooooouuuuu! http://www.blogathon.org/pledge.php?blogid=69

Kick the network
Jul. 26th, 2009 07:30 amHouse network is mean. House network not letting people on. Tried kicking, cannot kick something that is not an object.
Sakai is way to good for Sinclair. But they are both idiots.
Oh hai guy with a laser beam. Wow I never realized how many laser guns there were in this series until I watched a whole lot of it in a row.
Neeeeeed sleeeeeeeeeep. I do not know how it is that my teammate can still be writing something of substance right now.
I just sang Modern Major General. We are talking about slash fiction.

What would you do with telepathy?
Jul. 26th, 2009 08:00 amTelepath episode. I always wondered, if I were telepathic what exactly would I do with the power. I'd like to think I'd be noble and not use it in any damaging way, but I'm sure I'd find small harmless ways to turn it to my advantage.
- scanning the car dealer to find out if he can in fact NOT get me a lower price
- determining when my roommate is annoyed about the dishes
- finding out if my upstairs neighbor has the money she owes me
- scanning my cat. Just cause.
"what do you do in your spare time, juggle babies over fire pits?"
