Death, Writing, and the word Tycoon
Briefly dropping in to say hello, LiveJournal, in a rare moment of internet access. I hope all of you are doing well. I'm doing slighly less well, as I spent the beginnings of this weekend with family at my grandmother's funeral. It wasn't as sad as it could have been, as she's been ready to go for years and thank God she's in a place where she's not in so much pain and grouchiness anymore. I wasn't that terribly close to her, either, as she was really cranky when I was younger. But watching my sisters weep was...well, it broke me. I guess I was crying for them, and finally crying for my grandfather who died this past winter, and another grandfather who died a few years ago, and a great-aunt who died this past May. It's been a really hard year for my family; my mom, for one, is not handling it well. But I liked that there was a sense of joy in the family that this grandmother was finally at peace and with her husband. Also, it was good to see one sister of mine who I very rarely see because she lives several states away. It's also just been a weird summer in general, what with trying to find my place in things and moving around a lot, kind of living out of a suitcase. And I've had a lot of time for introspection, which is rarely good, as well as looking at a friendship of mine that has had some serious falls in the last year. I wonder lately if I'm not making some of the same mistakes with this friend that I made with a really close friend of mine in high school. I no longer talk to the high school friend because, at one crucial moment when I really, truly needed her, she was focused on her own problems, and I finally realized that she had always been focused on her own problems, using me as a therapist or rock to stand on or what-have-you. I don't mind this, but I realized I want my friendships to be honest; if she wanted me to be there for her all the time with nothing in return in terms of support, she needed to say so. What was killing me was that I kept expecting her to be there for me and she wasn't and didn't understand why I felt the expectation was unfulfilled. I'm beginning to feel that this friend is doing the same. The latest is just petty, but really; my grandmother just died, and she sent me a message continuing a conversation complaining about her boyfriend. Again, it doesn't bother me that much, but not even a line of condolence? I hope your family is okay? I know she would say that since I never ask for such "aids", how can she know now that I'd like her to say something, but really. To me, this is less a matter of making me feel better and more about simple social constructions; at least make the effort. Most of this also probably comes from a conversation I had with another friend of mine in which she asked me about the types of friendships that I have that I couldn't, and to a certain extent still can't, answer, and that sort of bothers me. But anyway, that's neither here nor there. Sorry about the tangent. I intended to ask the small audience of this if you had book recommendations. You see, I'm working on a story in which a 10-year-old girl is trying to break a fear of, basically, monsters in the closet, and I was wondering if you had suggestions as to children's books that deal with being afraid and getting over it, stuff that that type of character could read to make her braver. I have a bit of a list already, but I wanted to see what you thought. Oh, and I just wanted to note that the word "tycoon" is actually a pretty odd word, and not terribly often used these days. The era of tycoons has gone out, I suppose. Right. Apologies for the melodrama. Have a less melodramatic quiz. | Your Ideal Pet is a Cat |  You're both aloof, introverted, and moody.

We survived! \o/ I went to bed at midnight, and we were woken at 4:15 by doors, and S later at 5 or so by the same. They were tired. I need caffeine, all is normal with the world. Off to my wedding anniversary lunch. We're at #23. I can't believe 25 is just over that way a ways. Good lord time flies. I will never get over that physics. Have a great day. Oh, also, I have one Dreamwidth invite if anyone wants one. PM or email me your email address, and it's yours. Current Mood:  tired |

Cloud's Edge
 The second part of my mother-in-law's birthday celebration is a party that stretches over 4 days. Started with dinner on Thursday for the arrival of the first out-of-town family members. I skipped last night (and will come home later today to keep the dogs company), but there are doings during the day to go to. My crock pot, as it turns out, has a hot spot when on for too long a time, and so the baked beans are (hopefully, reheating) over at Renee's place. I've charged batteries for both cameras and the cell phone. ( Read more... ) Current Mood: awake |

There's Even a Guy Named Sunil in This Movie
You have likely never heard of Shades of Ray since it was not released in theatres and instead is available exclusively on Amazon on Demand. But it stars Zachary Levi and Sarah Shahi and Fran Kranz and Bonnie Somerville and also features Rex Lee and Cristine Rose and Lucy Davis, so it is tailor-made for the audience of People Who Read My Journal! Half-Pakistani writer/director Jaffar Mahmood cast Zachary Levi as half-Pakistani actor/bartender Ray Rehman. And no, he doesn't look half-Pakistani at all, and it never really works, and the audition scenes where he's being "typecast" and forced to do funny accents don't come off right at all because he doesn't look half-Pakistani. But Mahmood was rejected by two production companies who wanted him to change the character to be half-black or half-Latino instead, and he walked away and raised the money himself so he could make the movie on his own terms, and if his own terms include choosing Zachary Levi, then so be it. Ray Rehman has a Pakistani dad and a white mom. Around the time he proposes to his white girlfriend, his dad shows up on his doorstep, having been kicked out. And since he's there, why doesn't he introduce Ray to a nice half-Pakistani girl? Now Ray has to CHOOSE! And also reunite his parents. Symbolically or whatever. As an independent film, it is perfectly enjoyable, if uneven; all the parts don't quite fit together, as if some of the pieces don't really know what their purpose is. But that's mostly the ancillary stuff; the main story with Ray and his parents and his lady loves is well done. But the main appeal, of course, is that ZACHARY LEVI IS BASICALLY PLAYING ME. Sure, he's only half-brown, but as someone who's all brown and mainly attracted to white girls despite his parents' wanting him to marry a brown one, I obviously identified with him and what he has to deal with. For instance, when he complains to his dad about being set up with a "random girl," his dad exlaims, "What 'random'? She's your uncle's best friend in medical school's classmate's daughter!" SERIOUSLY THAT IS HOW IT WORKS. There were times when I almost wanted to cry just because someone made a movie about South Asians. I just forget how goddamn rare that is. Bollywood is not my life. This is my life. American Desi is my life. Bend It Like Beckham is my life. The Namesake is my life. Except not. Like Born Confused, Shades of Ray tells the story of a South Asian who's allowed to date white folk until their parents force them to marry someone South Asian WHO JUST HAPPENS TO BE HOT AND AWESOME AND PERFECT AND HOW IS THAT ACTUALLY A CONFLICT? No one tells the story of the guy who was never allowed to date anyone, who wasn't even allowed to go to prom, who couldn't even date in college because he didn't want to be forced to lie his parents, who is now being set up with uncle's best friend's classmate's daughters who aren't even interested in him. Look, if my parents found me a girl who looked like Sarah Shahi and whose list of favorite TV shows on MySpace began with Gilmore Girls and Veronica Mars, I would be set. (As a side note, HOLY CRAP SARAH SHAHI IS HOT UM MAYBE I SHOULD WATCH LIFE.) Maybe I really should write my experience, because who the fuck else is going to?

Review: "Eagle-Sage" by David B. Coe
In case you guys missed the last post (made late last night), there's a new, longer video of me and my six fellow authors getting up to some shenannigans at the last signing over at YouTube! Go check it out for a laugh. And leave a comment! And now, the review (copied from GoodReads): I just finished this book last night and after reading the entire series I'm wondering why it took me so long to pick up these books and try them. I know I saw them on the shelf numerous times and almost bought them. But now that I've read them, I'm kicking myself. I should have started reading David B. Coe earlier. But at least he's got a bunch of books out now, so I have something to read next (rather than waiting impatiently for the next book to come out). *grin* This is a good series and the third volume definitely wraps everything up in a nice way. We get to see where everyone we like ends up, and the resolution to the overall arc is satisfying. I had a few minor quibbles with the third book and the series as a whole overall, but none of those quibbles kept me from enjoying the books in any way. For Eagle-Sage, it took a good half of the book before the real plot got moving. The first half was set-up, but I couldn't help thinking that it could have been shortened or gone faster. (I didn't spend much time trying to figure out how though.) At the end, I wasn't satisfied with how the Keepers were integrated into the final resolution. I thought they'd play a much more important role somehow, and since one of the themes of the book is that everyone needed to work together to defeat the enemy, their involvement ended up being too minimal, especially with how that ended for them. For the series overall, my main complaint is that the familiars--the hawks and owls and eagles--were mainly just used as props. I kept wanting to see more interaction between the mages and their familiars. I wanted the familiars to come across as characters in their own right, and I wanted to see a deeper, more emotional relationship between them and thie chosen human counterparts. But again, there is anough good stuff going on overall, especially in the writing department as well as the unique ideas of the world and how it works, that those quibbles did NOT keep me from enjoying the books. They are solid fantasies that I'd recommend to everyone. As I said, I'll definitely be reading more David B. Coe in the future. *************

Terribly Listy LiveJournalcore
So a week and a half ago, I asked ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) water_of_fire (L) to come see Nightmare of You with me. Luckily, she was currently in the habit of accepting bizarre invitations. Even more luckily, she did not wake up the next morning and decide it was a horrible idea, and instead we e-mailed in the interim. I told her to remain deliberately ignorant of Nightmare of You (and I did not listen to any songs but the one Pandora have given me), which meant she didn't even look at the opening bands...one of which was Plushgun, a band she had recently discovered through this video portrait of Zachary Quinto being covered in milk. Now she was really excited! And we had a great night. Check out all these gerunds and participles, yo. - hugging L for the first time and discovering she's a great hugger
- examining the menu at La Mediterranee and having no clue what to order because everything looked good
- having a hibiscus cooler ordered for me because, according to L, I was having one
- drinking a sweet, red liquid that was like drinking perfume or a flower
- being asked what I did when I wasn't listening to bands that didn't exist yet
- enlightening L about the violation of point-of-view in The Eyre Affair that pissed me off
- explaining what unreliable narrators are and how much I heart them
- L tasting my lemon chicken soup and deeming it terrible, she would finish it for me
- trying the very tangy, tart lemon chicken soup that was interesting for a few sips but too sour to finish
- devouring chicken pomegranate with meat that just fell off the bone
- convincing L to watch Lost because it is just that awesome (and explaining OMGWTFPOLARBEAR in the process)
- mocking opener Brian Bonz, who L thought looked like a wildly overgrown nine-year-old and I thought looked no older than fourteen
- attempting and failing to appreciate his overblown, I-wish-I-was-Ben-Gibbard sincerity
- watching L's delight at seeing Plushgun live
- declaring Plushgun to be totally adorable, as during one song the lead singer threw glowsticks into the audience and during another, he played ukulele while the guitarist playing the portable glockenspiel
- rather enjoying the fun, catchy synthpop, which L described as "terribly emo cuddlecore" because she wanted to punch them and put them all in her pocket
- getting some air and avoiding the hipsters
- convincing L that she had to buy the shirt designed by the guitarist who would totally steal her eyeliner
- seeing L actually talk to said guitarist and admire his tattoos
- patiently holding various layers of clothing as she removed them to show him her own tattoo
- the guitarist pulling his shirt up to display the backwards Gothic lettering across his chest
- telling L she had to wear the shirt the next time I saw her since it was clear there would be a next time
- getting complimented on my shirt by the merch guy
- being poked by the guitarist of Plushgun before I left so he could tell me he liked my shirt
- L declaring that she would be my pet Goth
- declaring that I would be her pet fanboy
- sealing the deal with a high-five and a fist-bump
- being thanked a million billion times for bringing her out
- enjoying Nightmare of You's performance of "My Name Is Trouble," the one great song I knew and none of the others lived up to
- realizing that "I Want to Be Buried in Your Backyard" sounded like it could be a Smiths song
- L agreeing and pegging the next song as a Cure song
- leaving before the show was over but picking up the first Nightmare of You CD since all the songs I liked were on it, whereas I was meh on all the songs he said were new
- pleasing L by noticing how clean her car was
- getting a burned copy of the Plushgun CD
- agreeing with L that we should see other again
- remembering how exciting it is to make a new friend

The End of the Book: I haz it.
Just going through now and putting in italics (underscores, anyway) where they were stripped out by the ruthlessness of clearing out my screwed up formatting. I need to remember that MSWord gets DARN PERSNICKETY on me when I write longer than about sixty thousand words, and even more persnicketty when switching a document back and forth betwixt Open Office. Maybe copy-paste is my friend, and also stars or some crap like that which can be search-replaced at the end, not that I ever remember how wild cards work without going to look it up on-line. I can't possibly finish my underscoring search tonight. Eyes, crossing. G'night. |

Pumping up for Enya, Part 2
Okay, this time I have something like a plan. I have enough friends and acquaintances at Readercon that I do not need to feel like I am tagging along with anyone. I have benzos in case I get all freaky. More importantly, I have ~5K on a new novel and I know where it's going and what it is going to be. Short Pitch: Seven kids get recruited and bonded with one another and their potential future offspring in the form of swords and then sent to war to battle the monstrous and alien captains of an invading general called the Chariot. The story focuses on the relationships of the band with one another as they fight through to the end of the war. Short-short Pitch: Shade's Children meets The Dark Tower meets Shadow of the Colossus. Most importantly, I have 39 stories and flash pieces that are either ready to roll or within a day's work of being ready to roll. I have massive backlogs of poetry, too. It's going to be a good weekend. This could be the year. |

beasts and wild things
Animals--especially omnicarnivorous ones-- are like fairy folk. Observe: ( cunningly crafted comparison table )I've seen bears now and then, and foxes. Today I think I saw a coyote. At first I thought it was a fox, but it was much too big for a fox, more the size of a small deer... so I think it was a coyote. The coloring was more foxy than coyotelike, though. But perhaps there's variation in coyote coloring, around here. It was about 75 yards ahead of me, up the road, and it crossed from one side to the other. It loped. It had a long tail.

I've got my Worldcon Schedule...
...means I'm officially going... ...there's a kaffeeklatsch included. I got rather astonished in Japan that a bunch of complete strangers turned up for my kaffeeklatsch, and we had a howling good time - the klatsches were in this little room which was divided in two sections by a sort of screen divider and the OTHER Klatscher (I forget who it was now) actually popped his head over the partition to find out just what my crowd were giggling at so hard. So, in other words, I apparently give good Kaffeeklatsch. Come to mine at Anticipation. Fun WILL be had... And in the meantime, from jaylake, here's a bit of grammatical tomfoolery. Tres amusant! |

CONTEST!!! and WORLDCON!!!!
First up, Julie E. Czerneda--who has a new book out this month, Rift in the Sky--is offering up a copy of the book as a prize over at the dawbooks community. In addition to entering her contest by commenting with what you think the answers are, any comment automatically enters you into the running for the montly free DAW paperback for July! So two contest entries in one over there. But you have to enter at that post to be qualified. In addition, and to my utter shock, I've been put on programming at Worldcon. I figured I'd registered a little too late to be included in the planning process. Here's my tentative schedule for the con so far. I need to discuss this with my partner to see if we'll be there for all of the days and whatnot, but if there are any changes made to this, I'll announce them when it's a little closer to the con. But here you guys go. They seem to have really thought about what panels I'd be good for, based on what I write. I'm impressed. Friday, August 7th: 2pm: Author Reading: Leah Bobet, Elaine Isaak, Guy Gavriel Kay, and Joshua Palmatier will do readings for this hour and a half event held in P-512AE. (English) 3:30pm: Preparing to Write a Series: M.D. Benoit, Laura Anne Gilman, Joe Haldeman, Mindy Klasky, Joshua Palmatier, and Fiona Patton discuss the following in a one hour event held in P-522B: How does a writer plan to write a series? Or is it unplanned until you sign the contract? Writers discuss how they set up and wrote novels that are part of a "series." (English) Saturday, August 8th: 11am: Writing Workshop U: M.D. Benoit and Joshua Palmatier will run a critique session for previously submitted manuscripts at this two hour event held in D-Vitre. (English) Sunday, August 9th: 11am: Writing in a Culture Not Your Own: Emma Hawkes and emma_in_oz, David D. Levine, Joshua Palmatier, David Sklar, and Kaaron Warren comment on the following for this one hour event held in P-522B: How does a writer get into the head of a character from a different culture, race, planet, gender? How can writers include diversity in their writing without using stereotypes? Or should they not try at all? (English) 1:30: Signing: For 30 minutes, Joshua Palmatier will be nailed down at a table and will sign copies of his books, or whatever else you have for him to sign. But never fear, if you miss him at the official signing, you can catch him at the succeeding Kaffeklatsch, where he'll also be willing to sign whatever you've got. I'm not sure where the signings are going to be held. It only says "other" in my information. It also says I'll be signing for twelve hours and thirty minutes, but I'm assuming that's a typo. (English) 2pm: Kaffeeklatsch: Come drink coffee, hot chocolate, or even a White Russion with Joshua Palmatier for this day long *ahem* I mean one hour event held in P-521B. Ask anything you want, all those burning questions. You may even get a coherent answer. (English, or an approximation thereof) 4:30pm: Writing Gender Issues: Jason Bourget, Jane Carnall, Lila Garrott-Wejksnora, Anne Harris, Nancy Johnston, John Kessel, and Joshua Palmatier answer the following questions for this one hour event held in P-513B: How do writers approach gender and gender issues? What’s taboo? Can women write men and men write women without making a mess of it? How do you write a story that explores gender issues without hitting the reader over the head? (English) *************** So that's my schedule according to them. And OMG, I've got a reading with Guy Gavriel Kay! *pause while I hyperventilate* Someone might actually be there! So who else is going to Worldcon? |

Frum? They're frum New York!
Woman on a plane: "Where are you from?" Me: "Oakland." Woman on a plane: "No, you're from India." Me: "Yeah." Woman on a plane: "I've always wanted to go to New Delhi, blah blah blah..." Me: *continues putting on headphones* Random old guy in Berkeley waiting in line for a movie: "You're from India, huh? Pakistan?" Me: *grunts* For future reference, here is where I am from: Oakland. California. Arlington. Texas. "San Francisco." The Bay Area. The East Bay. "Dallas." Dallas/Fort Worth. America. The United States. The U.S. My mom's uterus. You may notice that India does not appear anywhere on that list because I am not from India. I was not born there; I did not grow up there. My parents are from India, but they've been here long enough that they're not really from India either. Honestly, I don't know what the statute of limitations on fromness is, and I am certainly not the person to define it. But, look, world, I know I have brown skin, and I know that when you ask where I'm from, you really mean to ask what my heritage is. Or perhaps where my family is from. Or my ancestors. You're certainly not interested in where I, personally, am from, as that would require you to look beyond the color of my skin! I feel like there are a fair number of Indian people around. I cannot be the first Indian person you have run across, and if by chance I am, I will not be the last. Kudos on identifying my race, though! Surely you will get a medal for that. I truly do not care how great you think India is, stranger, because you have instantly alienated me with your totally racist question. I am not a representative of all things Indian. Why do you want to talk to me about how Indian I am? Obviously, you do not read my journal, or you would know that I AM NOT EVEN THAT INDIAN. Maybe there is a polite way for someone to approach someone of another ethnicity and ask them about their culture, but it would take so many more words than "Where are you from?" It's a very sticky preposition. Current Mood:  pleasedCurrent Music: Shiny Toy Guns - Photograph |

I can see the end of this book
Quite literally. And figuratively. If I don't finish tonight, it will be only because of this stupid earache making me go to bed early. Not much left now. Would be done if I hadn't rewritten the last third of the book a second time, but it was mushy. Would be done by now, part the second, if I hadn't caught Ze Dread Earache. Would be done by now, part the third, if I had figured out how to rewrite the book about a month earlier. So, really, there's no one thing. I was a bit daunted to jump back in tonight. The papers, the notes, the arrows, they are too much. So I took a picture of them:  Click through, if you dare. There are Notes. Once I captured their soul on film, the notes became much less intimidating, and I dove in and fixed some problems in my last scene written, and starting porting over the last 5k of the book, plus connective tissue--basically, Chapter 40 on. I also hung a lantern on some boats. Literally--well, sort of--this isn't writer jargon. I went back in the book and noted the detail that there were lanterns on some boats. Because it came up that there would need to be. I'M THAT CLOSE. And the scent of victory is making me a little crazy. Obvi. |

Fundraiser: Virginia Avenue Project
This superlative program has pairing up inner city kids with volunteers from the entertainment community since 1992. rachelmanija has been donating time to them for over ten years, and has seen kids from the project make it to college and excellent careers. It's a great program, but the funding has been cut due to, well, you know. So they are running an auction--really easy to bid on things, and to donate things. If you have some spare change, or some nifties you don't mind donating, this is such a good cause. |
