07:32 pm - the brothers won a blue ribbon for their gigantic ox
Relevant to US/Canada/Australia/non-UK fannish people: If you want to see the version of Frankenstein with Benedict Cumberbatch in, you can do it this summer at your local (for a given value of 'local') movie theater via the National Theatre Live program. There's a list of US venues here. They are showing both versions on separate dates.
Specific to Boston locals: A and I have tickets to both dates so if you have interest in meeting up, ping me.

07:55 pm - If you're invited for a game of croquet, it's traditional to give your host a gift of a dozen moles
So, I finished Angelmaker. And I, hmm. I was disappointed.
The A-plot: main character white guy nerd Joe Spork (YES REALLY) has daddy issues since he is the son of a crime boss. Joe Spork's grandfather was a clockmaker/fixer and so Joe, in his daddy issues, has decided not to follow his father into a life of crime but instead fix clocks for a living. When a mysterious insane client needs someone to repair their Mysterious Steampunk Macguffin Book/Machine, he gets the job. The job having been done, Joe hands off the book to the client's representative, thinks, "Yes, job well done, please pay in cash," only to discover about three days later that even more mysterious and insane people are going to make his life miserable because they want the book, too.
The B-plot: in the past, badass! lesbian! spy! Edie Bannister goes on a mission to a small asian nation where the evil ruler is obsessed with becoming a god and has asked his pet genius to make him a MacGuffin "device to end wars." The pet genius seems to have realized that this is a Bad Idea and is willing to be rescued. Enter Edie Bannister, and hijinks ensue.
Aside from the fact that I was wayyyy more interested in the B-plot, I think in general this book was just way more overwritten than Harkaway's last book. It was too clever. There were too many bits where he'd just digress into a bizarre aside from a random point of view and have sentence upon sentence of complicated metaphor. I felt like he was trying to be Neal Stephenson and not quite managing it.
Also, he clearly went to the Neal Stephenson School Of How Het Relationships Operate, which is to say that ( [romantic spoilers for Angelmaker and Cryptonomicon, I guess] ) It's just a really weird dynamic.
The other thing that bothered me about Angelmaker was that ( [more, plot-related spoilers] )
It's just SO a middle class white guy's fantasy, and in that I found it not as good as it could have been. The premise was interesting, the plot made enough sense that I wasn't left making flappy gestures, there was one really good plot twist (though nothing like as mind-blowing as Gone Away World's plot twist), I loved Edie Bannister a hell of a lot... but I felt like the substance wasn't there.

08:12 am - banana
This week at work has been particularly insane (oh, attorneys, whyyyyyy is it that you wait until the day your trial starts to ask me for stuff?), so all my plans to write have been undone by the urge to come home, have a drink, and do absolutely fuck all with my brain.
That said, some thoughts on books I've read recently:
--My Name is Red - a murder mystery set against the backdrop of 16th-century Istanbul. The main characters are all artists and most of the book is about philosophies of illustration. A lot of the ideas were really interesting and to be honest I wish this had been non-fiction, because the mixture of story and philosophy really didn't work for me. I was frustrated by the mystery part, because there wasn't a 'mystery' in the genre sense - yes, there is a murder, and you're ostensibly trying to figure out who did it, but the 'clues' are not actual pieces of evidence. You find out who did it in the end but I don't think there's really any way for the reader to solve the mystery. I also didn't find the characterization particularly convincing, since the characters all lie to each other all the time and contradict themselves 27 times a second and then treat all of that as perfectly natural. Except they don't think of it as lying; it's not about deception, it's more like it's about poetic truth. They say things that are poetically true although not factually true, and that is regarded as truth. Which just does not work for me. I am a factually true sort of person. Basically, I wish this had been a longform essay instead of a novel.
--Court of the Air - steampunk Dickensian plucky orphan adventure, and so boring I gave up halfway through. There was something wrong with the worldbuilding in this one, like every third word was invented or a portmanteau or just slightly different from our word for the same thing, which made me even more inclined than I normally am to skim over whole paragraphs filled with detail. And it wasn't just the words - the plot, too, was absolutely crammed full of stuff - some of which was really interesting, but got lost among the 392487293 different plot elements. I would have happily read a whole book about the steam men, but as it was they just got, like, a D-plot mention in a cornucopia of other stuff. If anyone else has read this and can tell me it gets startlingly better at the end, I might pick it back up someday.
And right now I'm in the middle of Angelmaker, which I am enjoying, despite Harkaway's problems with beginnings (the man loves his flashbacks), and the fact that I am far more interested in the B-plot (badass! lesbian! spy!) than the A-plot (doofy clockmaker son of crime boss). I loved Gone Away World (his first book), which had an awesome twist at the end and got better as it went along, so I'm hoping Angelmaker will wow me by the time I get to the end of it.

So I just finished reading Never Let Me Go which frankly broke my fucking heart. It's just... it's really good. You should read it.
I was thinking about it in comparison with two other books I've read recently which are in some ways similar, but which I thought didn't work nearly as well: Flood, and The Road.
Because, Flood is a story about science. The characters aren't really characters, they're just designed to showcase the science.
Whereas The Road is a story about an atmosphere. The characters aren't really characters, they're just allegorical figures designed to showcase the atmosphere.
And they both stunk.
But Never Let Me Go is a story about characters, about these specific people. And that's why it's able to say something deep, something universal. We talk about the universal by talking about the specific - we understand the big things by the ways they impact us in our small lives.
( Specific, spoilery thoughts... )

10:58 pm - name that barcode
Ugh, people, the trouble about speculative fiction is that sometimes you get authors who come up with these really good ideas and then don't actually execute them very well, and then you're left going "Why couldn't you just hand off that concept to someone who actually understands characterization???"
For example, I have just finished reading Flood, which has a fascinating premise (whole! world! flooding! which is apparently backed! by! science!) and a few interesting moments, but completely fails to have a single character that I gave the merest iota of a fuck about.
The thing is, all the elements are there - the book starts with a group of people who have been taken hostage together and who have grown close over the course of their captivity. But already it falls down because we come in on the day they get released from captivity, which means we get plopped in to the middle of their relationships with each other and don't get to see them grow close at all. It's like the ultimate tell-not-show.
And the rest of the book isn't any better. The characters go out into the world and deal with the flooding, and their connections to each other allow them to meet from time to time over the course of the years, which is basically just an excuse to have them info dump at each other. Part of the problem is that Baxter is telling a story that takes place over 40+ years, and so we jump from Important Moment to Important Moment without any of the bits in between. And you need the bits in between. It's the bits in between that make the characters who they are, that let them be able to make the choices they make in the Important Moments.
Whereas I feel like in Flood, the characters are basically placeholders for showing elements of "humanity" that Baxter wants to show. They're not people in and of themselves, and a lot of their decisions aren't convincing at all, because we're not given enough time to get to know their motivations. It's an idea story, which I'm not opposed to in theory, but you can't tell an idea story with just ideas, otherwise it's just a speculative essay. A story needs characters.
[Which is not even to mention the racist stuff, the rape-y stuff, the way one of the female characters basically gets passed around like a parcel with zero agency in the name of "keeping her safe" and only one character ever seems to have the faintest qualms about that, the creepy descriptions of lesbians... yeah. I mean, I think if called on any of this, Baxter would say he was trying to describe humanity accurately and that humanity isn't necessarily a nice thing to look at, but I don't think I buy it.]
And there are some technical things that he did that I found very irritating, too, like having a section be titled, "From the Scrapbook of Character X," and then the narrative of the chapter is like, "Character X was perhaps unable to describe her feelings on that fateful day..." Which, no. If it's from Character X's scrapbook, it's not going to talk about her in the third fucking person! Either it's going to be a diary, or it's going to be news clippings, but it's not going to be a narrative that's in the exact same voice as the rest of the fucking book.
All of which is a damn shame, because the premise is actually interesting, and I just want to go back in time and wrest it from the hands of this fucking amateur and stick it in the brain of someone who knows how to write a character.

03:06 pm - slippery as a well-buttered ice rink
Haven't had much to say lately, but here are some bullet points.
--D&D continues to be enjoyable though it's not quite what I was expecting. Although, I'm not sure I want it to be what I was expecting. *headscratch* Anyway, I think I'm just going to keep taking it as it comes, since I am having fun.
--I had a dream in which I was watching/immersed in a soap opera, in which Charlie Brooker owned a liquor store. He got into a rivalry with the son of a guy who ran a pizza place opposite his store (the son was dealing drugs and cheap liquor out of the back room of the pizza place, and Charlie called the cops but somehow the father got arrested, not the son) and then the son, in revenge, set Charlie's store on fire.
--I think I'm going to actually try and get serious about dumping caffeine and sugar from my diet. Caffeine is not really an issue since I don't drink soda at home anyway, or coffee, but I do have a stash of caffeinated tea that I've been slowly making my way through... some of it's really nice, so I'm not sure what to do about that. Sugar is even harder, because I have a tremendous sweet tooth... I've been trying to soothe it with plain yoghurt and granola instead of baking cookies and that mostly works (though my granola has sugar in, but it's less sugar than cookies), but I can't drink tea without sugar, I just can't. And I don't like honey in my tea, or artificial sweeteners - it doesn't taste right. So I guess I should just give up tea entirely. :/ BUM.
--Somewhat relatedly: would anyone like some plain white tea (loose leaves)? I bought some that, for various reasons that don't bear going into, I will never drink. Supposedly you can add it to herbal tea and get all kinds of good things out of it. If you want it, let me know and I will mail it to you.
--I've finished sock 1 and have made a good start on sock 2. This pattern that I'm working from is really awesome. I can't wait to show you guys the finished pair. Also, I went through a pile of bookmarks I'd saved and added a whole bunch of stuff to my Ravelry library, so I'll have something new to work on when I finish the second sock. I might try something more ambitious. But Alyson wants me to knit some socks for her as well, so I might just dive in to new socks.
--While knitting, I've been listening to the BBC A History of the World in 100 Objects. Alyson listened to all of them and really enjoyed them - I've done through about #45 and, though I am enjoying the series, I'm finding the format a bit... hmmm... shallow? Each episode is something like 13-15 minutes, which would be plenty to give just a taste of the information about a particular object, but my problem is I feel like fully a third of each one is filled with a) dramatic pauses, b) repeating things in slightly different words, and c) bullshit sound bites from people who sometimes have only the most tangential connection to the object. It's very annoying. More facts, less speculation, please.

06:58 pm - the visitors came all together
Does anyone have a favorite website for free/royalty free clipart? I am trying to throw together some possible shirt designs for a family reunion thing this summer and I want to source my images responsibly... but I also want some non-ugly cartoons of hedgehogs.
Life recently: I survived the Saturday work meeting and did not murder anyone. It was a waste of time, but then again, it was never not going to be a waste of time, so. This week I have tomorrow afternoon off to make up for Saturday meeting, so I'm going to go hang out at the MFA because that's how I roll. Then Thursday night we're going to see, uhhh, something that Alyson wants to see, and then Friday it's Baby's Marginaliana's First D&D Game. We did character creation a few weeks ago and one of the other people in our group is going to be playing a half-elf called 'Olivia Six Thugs,' which I think bodes well for the whole thing being entertaining.
Reading: I finished the godawful paranormal romance novel, which remained godawful throughout. In fact, it got worse by the end. Ugh. I now have out Mercedes Lackey's The Sleeping Beauty which is cheese, but at least it's decently written cheese with a sense of humor. It's prime commute reading, and I'm enjoying it.
Watching: I think I'm giving up on Lord of the Rings. I started watching it because I thought hey, maybe this series is better as films than as books, and it's a cultural touchstone... yeah, no. I lasted about an hour and a half into the first film and I'm returning it tomorrow. I think the thing that's really driving me the most batshit about it is the way, every time one of the characters wants to say 'Mordor,' they sort of pause and then put on a terrible accent and go ~~Morrrrdorrrrr~~ and then finish the sentence. Gah. Also: I recognize that the characters have to be stupid to drive the plot, but Jesus these characters are stupid (Tolkien's fault!). Sorry, all of you who love this. I appreciate that you love it, I wish I could love it, too, but I can't. :/
And now I'm going to go look at more clipart of hedgehogs for a while, I guess. Save me!

08:31 pm - Yeah, I'm fucking tired of this
If you think it's okay to be an ass to people who disagree with you politically, I judge you for that. And if you do it somewhere like LJ or DW or Tumblr because you think fandom is a homogenous liberal zone and so the people who disagree with you will never see it, you're wrong.
I'm not talking about good faith arguments, or about being angry, or about making your voice heard. I'm talking about being rude, condescending, and snide, just because someone disagrees with you. I'm talking about people who treat their political opponents like particularly dim children, who think insulting them is funny because after all, they deserve it, just by virtue of being [insert political ideology here].
It happens because self-righteousness and superiority are good feelings. But it doesn't accomplish anything except hurting other people, and it's not okay by me.

01:55 pm - and I stuck my thumb into George Osborne's eye...
Went with Alyson and purplegryphon to see A Sea Symphony last night. It was very interesting. I don't think it'll ever be my favorite piece, but there were parts of it I liked a lot, especially the ending. Also, every time I go to see classical music performed I notice some new thing - this time, it was the way the french horn players, when they weren't playing, sort of turned their instruments around in their laps. Which I realized, after a moment, is because when you play french horn you must get a lot of spit inside it, so they were turning it so that the extra spit would come out the bottom end onto a little towel. Just one of those things that you probably wouldn't think about unless you actually played the instrument, but I of course found it completely fascinating to see. I'm sure there are things like that for other instruments, too.
The other thing that really stuck out for me is that I really just don't like vibrato in singing. I prefer a purer tone. I know this is really an issue of style rather than one way being better than another, except that of course the way I like it really is better. :P Also, it was interesting to think about what it must be like to be a soloist singer, and how, when you're not singing, you have to look interested but not too interested, not nervous, not checking ahead for your bit, not shifting in your chair if your butt goes to sleep... It's the same thing as the instruments, really, in that there are all these little details that most people don't think of.
Then after the show we came home and went to bed, whereupon my brain decided to present me with an extremely explicit dream about a Mitchell/Brooker sex tape. O_o It was quite, um, yes. Vivid.
Today I have spent most of the day fiddling with my new iDevice, which is hereby named Mrs. Badcrumble. I've managed to get my music collection copied over and various app-y things installed, including LJ and Twitter. I also installed an e-book app, and downloaded a bunch of epic-length fanfic from AO3 (I have a feeling I'm going to get really excited about the download in epub format option).
Tomorrow I will have to begin cleaning all the things. But it is not tomorrow yet.

08:28 pm - I'm a blue toothbrush, you're a... corpse.
I've been musing on kindness recently, my own and others', the sorts of things that I would like to see more of and do more of. Some thoughts:
--Kindness is more than just not being an asshole. Kindness has to do with changing those immediately disdainful reactions we have towards things. This isn't always easy. I struggle with it myself (a lot). But I believe it's worth doing.
--It takes practice to think of other people as human beings. I think in some ways it's more natural to think of other people as objects, things we come into contact with that can either ease our way or act as obstacles to our own path. Empathy takes work.
--Being kind to ourselves is the foundation for being kind to others. This is hard, too.
In other news, I just finished The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms, which was quite good. Not mind-blowing, but very enjoyable. The qualms I had with it mostly had to do with Jemisin's handling of info-dumps, which ( ...[spoilers] )
Anyway, despite my irritation there, it was a good book. I liked Yeine (I much prefer having a main character that I can actively root for, and this was excellent in that sense), I was interested in the plot, I liked the worldbuilding. If any of you are looking for fantasy with female main characters, I hereby rec this to you.

07:38 pm - the contraption in my shed will not work
So, my 5+ year old mp3 player is dying, and I'm considering moving to the dark side. I know, I know. It's like you don't even know me anymore. :P But basically, the dark side is the only place to get something that will hold my entire music collection, which is kind of the main thing for me.
Anyway, the specific portion of evil I'm pondering is the iPod Touch 64gb. Do you have one of these? Would you like to give me your opinion on why it is the greatest thing since sliced bread?
Of course, I have many questions. Should I buy a refurbished one and save myself ~$100 and/or an earlier generation model and save more $$? Or do I really need the features of the current version? Is buying refurbished a recipe for disaster? Do I need some sort of Great Satan Apple warranty extra or insurance or something?
What kinds of accessories do I need? I'm good with earbuds, but I'll need a cable to make the thing go to my TV, yes? Should I get purpose-built speakers? I mostly use my current player for listening on the T with earbuds, or at night in bed without earbuds. Looks like the touch does have a built in speaker but is it any good?
(Should I not give in to the lure of shiny apps and just get myself a classic instead? Please say no.)

06:31 pm - I nearly read that as "come in the garden, Maud"
Er, hello. Haven't been posting due to life. Life at this point mostly consisting of feeling ill, work, books, and trying to unknot a massive skein of yarn which got badly tangled when I shoved it into my bag at the yarn store.
A thing about work: we are having a mini retreat next month (urgh) and amusingly, BossLady is determined that when we go out for dinner together, we sit at a round table, presumably to facilitate conversation. To that end, she made Sane Coworker send out an email on our "bulletin board" email list today asking for recommendations of restaurants in the area that have round tables. This is the kind of unimportant bullshit she spends her time worrying about, instead of things like, I dunno, making Dbag behave like a civilized human being. (I am not going to talk here about him being rude to the IT guy last week, because I'll only get myself wound up about it - but suffice it to say: ARGH)
Books:
The Road by Cormac McCarthy - a solid MEH for this one. I really wanted to like it, but found it to be without much substance. Nothing happens. There's not much character development. I did like the way the understated language seemed to heighten the horror of it. But it mostly just read like watered-down genre fiction for people who think they're too good for genre fiction.
Actually, what it made me think of was a conversation I had the other day with Sane Coworker and Dbag, in which SCW was recommending Ender's Game to Dbag. What she said was, "It's set in the future, but it's, like, the future of Earth. You believe it could really happen." And I just thought, wow, that is so far from being what Ender's Game is even about. I mean, yes, it's technically true, but who cares? That is not even on my radar when I'm trying to guess whether I'll enjoy a book.
I've mentioned here before that Dbag doesn't accept fiction that involves the paranormal or magic, because "human beings don't do that sort of thing." He'll go for something like Avatar, because they're aliens, which apparently makes it okay if they, IDK, fly and shoot rainbows out of their asses, but Harry Potter is no go. And I would chalk that up to Dbag being weird except that this conversation with SCW reminded me that there are plenty of people who make that kind of distinction. It's just that since most of my friends are in fandom, I mostly don't talk about media with people who aren't into genre fiction at some level, so I forget they exist.
The whole thing just seems so weird to me. I mean, it's all made up. What's the difference between a made up story about oil barons and a made up story about magical telepathic horses? Nothing, really. In fact, I often find the characterization in sci fi to be more convincing than the characterization in mainstream fiction, so in that sense, the genre material requires less suspension of disbelief.
Anyway. Just a reminder of the fact that the communities I participate in are self-selected and not representative of people in general. Which I think is worth remembering.
Other reading this week was The Hunger Games, which I enjoyed despite some flaws. I will be reading the other two in short order and I'll probably have more to say once I've finished the series.

11:07 am - it was a lover and his lass with a large egg whisk
Books I have read recently!
People of the Book by Geraldine Brooks.
I feel sure that many of you will have read this already, but if you haven't, do! Especially if you like: Jewish history, book conservation, and/or female main characters. It's basically the story of an illustrated Haggadah, how it was made and different events in its history, told with the frame story of a woman who is conserving it in 1999. I enjoyed seeing the way Hanna (the conservator) made some educated guesses about certain things that had happened to the book, and then the historical snippets would reveal her to be sort-of-but-not-exactly right, which I thought was a very realistic view of the practice of history. I also found Hanna's relationship with her mother to be satisfyingly realistic, and I think it would have been easy to cop-out there and simplify things. All in all, I loved the book, except for the last page which I am pretending doesn't exist because HULK SMASH.
Ready Player One by Ernest Cline
I enjoyed this one, but thought it had some organizational flaws - namely, that it's written for an audience of people who like both of these: a) 80s culture, and b) MMORPGs and hacker stories. Which would have been doable, except then I felt like he copped out and ended up explaining all his references, which really detracts from the narrative flow. It's like, "lala, things happening, oh, but now I have to explain what the plot of War Games was for two paragraphs." Also, I strongly disliked the pat moral of the ending, which seemed really incongruous when set against the entire rest of the novel. Why do authors do this? I mean, I understand the urge to have your ending have some sort of weight and closure, but I think far too often there's some bit shoehorned onto the end that just doesn't fit, and often it's something that makes me furious.
Anyway, this was a fun read, and enough of a page turner that I read it a bit under my desk at work on a slow afternoon. There's a really excellent heist-type section towards the end, which is what the whole rest of the book could have been like, if it hadn't been constantly interrupted with stuff about the mechanics of playing Pac Man.
Unrelated to books - I keep seeing mentions of Eternal Law, and it brings me such lulzy joy every time, even though I have yet to actually watch an episode. Because, seriously, it is a show about angels running a law firm. ANGELS RUNNING A LAW FIRM. It cannot possibly be as hysterical as I imagine. Can it? I feel like I need to deliberately abstain from watching it, just to preserve the Platonic ideal of the show in my mind.
