Posted by Claire CJS under Anime, Carolyn, Cartoons, Clio, Comedy, Journal, Live-Action Shows, Media, Media Consumption Lists, People, Reviews, Video, Year In Review[12] Comments
Every year, Carolyn & I post a list of what we watched. This year, I am breaking it into sections. Read on to see what TV SHOWS we watched in 2006. (Most of these were skimmed; few were watched in their entiretly.) This is a time consuming post to read, but I’d like people to comment on them if possible and willing.
The anime chick on the right is Haydee, a character in Gankutsuo, an anime adaptation of The Count Of Monte Cristo. It was the most artistically animated show we watched all year. It was also, uncoincidentally, the only anime we watched this year. Read on for the full list of shows, and more Gankutsuo pictures.

Some interesting links today. Ford says Bush fucked up, cops killed an unarmed man, Bush admin hides all kinds of info, an incredible astronomical size visualizer — great if you like to think about the vastness of space, and Bush & Saddam as college roommates! (more…)

MUSICIANS: RIAA is trying to lower your royalties. Don’t sign. Stay independent.
Posted by Claire CJS under Articles, Audio, Copyright, Geek Politics, Media, Music, PoliticsLeave a Comment
Slashdot discussion (probably the best discission on the topic) is HERE. Original article HERE. Read on for quotes from the article, and links to famous musician’s personal pages where they bitch about the situation. The record companies are not your friend — especially if you are a musician.
Read on for more, including a funny web comic I found.

POLITICS: White House Forces Censorship of New York Times
-
The NYTimes link (in the article above) shows the version, WITH censorship (i.e. black boxes) included. WHAT first amendment? I don’t care who agreed to what, the White House censoring a paper (even via previously-made agreements) does not smell like freedom to me! (more…)

CONCERT: Voltaire (12/21/2006)
Posted by Claire CJS under Audio, Carolyn, Clio, Concerts, Journal, Kipp E, Media, Music, People, Reviews1 Comment
Carolyn, Kipp, & I went to see a Voltaire show recently. It was at Club Five, which we’d never been to. It was a 1-man acoustic show, with us 2 feet away, which made it very personal. Kipp kept buying me drinks, so I was drunk enough to lose the setlist afterwards. Oops!
Carolyn wrote a thorough writeup HERE. A list of all concerts I’ve been to can be found HERE.

POLITICS: 2nd Amendment Questioned
Posted by Claire CJS under Articles, News, Politics, Technology War[8] Comments
Well, the 2nd amendment is being questioned for the first time in 70 years. Read the Washington Post article here:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/12/07/AR2006120701001.html
At issue is whether the D.C. ban on handguns can stand. A lower-court judge told six city residents in 2004 that they did not have a constitutional right to own handguns. Obviously, this flies in the face of the fact that the 2nd Amendment of our constitution specifically gives us the rights to own guns! (more…)
