Friends

Sunday Nov. 8.  Fuchs fell down an elevator shaft.  he was the drummer for post-rock band Maserati, and also for !!! and LCD soundsystem.  he was probably the only thing that was good about the band Maserati cause the guitarists were pretty generic.  sad day in the post-rock community. i got to see him play one of his last shows in san francisco opening for Mono.

any chance anyone has a copy of the M. Rösner / Gareth Hardwick - Silhouettes 1 cd? any help is appreciated

I have seen some artists take Disney Princess coloring pages and apply a true painting technique to them (in at least two cases, they took fairly well-known paintings and used the colors as a basis/inspiration).

But here, Jeffrey Thomas takes the Disney Princesses and gives them an extra creepy twist that I love. My brain is already stewing with story ideas for a different kind of Sleeping Beauty.

Llyn Y Cwn (Welsh - lake of the dogs) is a small lake at 715m, nestled between Glyder Fach and Y Garn in the Glyder mountain range of Snowdoina, North Wales. 

Llyn Y Cwn is a dark ambient project by Ben Powell (mank). 

The two EP’s were released only in digital format in 2009 – part 1 in March and part 2 in November.  The EP’s try to emulate the type of environment encountered at Llyn Y Cwn, harsh and desolate but at the same time beautiful.  They feature environmental field recordings from the mountains of north wales and from an ice breaker ploughing through ice at the north pole.  The music is intended to be played as the listener is going to sleep.

I got myself a web server host and domain about 10 months ago and have been sitting on it ever since, not sure what to do with it. J set up a custom-designed gallery for me but I didn’t use it much because in the end it was just too hard to remember all the intricacies of uploading photos to it. I suppose it was a bit of a waste, but really, I got a good deal on the hosting and the domain was free so whatever.

Anyway, I finally had the brilliant idea to set up a wedding website on my domain, and along with that, an easier-to-use custom gallery, and then a Wordpress blog. I’ve been wanting to try out Wordpress and this was perfect.

I’ve now migrated all my LJ posts to my new Wordpress blog. I’ll be posting there from now on, but my posts will (hopefully) be mirrored here on LJ, so there’ll be no difference for my LJ friends. This post is really a test to see if this mirroring plugin works. We’ll find out in a sec.

Added: it works!

In what is likely to be the most inane post ever, I will talk about the most recent trauma in my life: trading in my beautiful but BPA-contaminated Sigg bottle for a new one that carries no known carcinogen or hormone disrupter (as currently understood, but who knows). Such is the hardship in my life.

As you may have heard, Sigg recently revealed that prior to August 2008, their aluminum bottle liners were manufactured with small amounts of BPA. They're offering a voluntary exchange program now, where you can either exhange it at participating stores, or send it in. The program ends on October 31.

I loved my Sigg bottle. It was girly and pretty, lighter than my old Nalgene, and didn't make water taste gross (HATE gross stale water). I bought it while on a romantic ski trip in Whistler early last year, although it feels like much longer. It took me forever to decide on a colour and design, and I always hate second-guessing my decisions, but I knew I had bought the right one. Within 2 days of owning it, I put a dent in the side. Since then, this bottle went almost everywhere with me.

I personaly didn't care about the trace amount of BPA since I regularly eat canned foods (sauces, tuna, baby corn, etc) and my Nalgene still gets the occasional use, so I really didn't want to give it up. But J made me go exchange it! Who knew that he even had an opinion? But since he felt so strongly about it, I obliged.

I didn't want to spend money to send it in, so I had to find a store that would exchange it. Whole Foods was doing it, but they only had butt-ugly styles and colours left. Capers stopped carrying them. REI wouldn't exchange them unless I was a member, plus they were mostly sold out. And I didn't know any other stores that were part of the exchange program. Luckily, a fluke browse through a local blog led me to a small boutique tucked into a corner of the Kitsilano shopping area. There, I said goodbye to my beautiful purple Maharishi and welcomed a new hot pink bottle into my life. They were nice enough to even take a picture for me:



Of course, within 24 hours of owning it, my new bottle already has a big fat dent in the side, just like the first one did. It's officially mine now!

I mentioned to someone the bush which grows about ten feet from my window/sliding glass door. In the morning, it's full of yellow blooms, but as the day progresses, the flowers clse up and the birds arrive. Then I decided to hunt for pictures of the variety of birds.

[Some are taken from a google search, and I didn't really focus on the photopgraphers. I hope that won't be a problem. I just wanted to show anyone interested how many were out there on a regular day. Most photos are mine, taken a few months back.]

The only bird whowe identification I am uncertain of is the common waxbill. There are these tiny gray birds with orange beaks that are really prevalent--you could probably fit four in your hand--but I've never been able to find out without a doubt, what species they were. Waxbills seems closest in appearance.

[ETA: Goodness. Okay, my pictures are big, so I'm gonna put them all under an LJ cut, for teh sake of others. (Less time than resizing and resaving the bulk of them on myPhotobucket account.)]

( The photos )
There is the occasional black cat that comes by, and the other day I saw a gray one that I got into a staring match with, but the flash messed up the pictures I'd tried to take of it.

Anyhow, there's your Five Minutes with Nature, with Sabrina. :P Back to writing for me.

[And an adult white-eye and zebra dove just showed up.]

The Field Rotation EP, Licht und Schatten, would be much appreciated as well, but it's a terribly recent release.

Regards.

Unpollution the connective [t]issue. Recurring themes include: Divine Apparition/Avatical Landings, Clean - Free Energy, the Mental source of apparent contradictions, conflict resolution analysis.
Well, with our world in a dire state, one hopes to add to the clarity of the subject without becoming a fascist too. And so we have a decided leaning towards personal transformation to achieve this end.
