So my sister-in-law and brother who live in North Carolina came to Minnesota together for only the second time for the holidays. On the way home from the Christmas celebration at my uncle's house, a few of us were for some unknown reason humming Battle Hymn of the Republic.
Me: You know what's really cool? Mark Twain wrote an awesome version of Battle Hymn of the Republic, a satire. I don't remember much of it but it's definitely worth looking into.
Sister-In-Law: Wait, Mark Twain is a singer, right?
Me: *looks at her for a moment hoping she's being facetious...she isn't.* No...Mark Twain was an author.
S-I-L: *blank stare*
Me: ...Tom Sawyer?
S-I-L: OH!!* laughs* Then who's the Twain singer?
Brother: *shakes head* That would be Shania, babe.

Hey guys! I’m putting the next issue of my zine together and its all about women, so I have a few questions for the girl zinesters out there if they want to help out. You can be as detailed or vague as you want when answering. And as a sufficient bribe, if you answer 5 out of 7 questions, I’ll send you a free copy of the zine when its finished. Email me at seasonofunknowing@gmail.com with answers or any questions you have for me or the project. I’d love to hear from you, even if you don’t answer the questions! And thanks to everyone who takes the couple minutes to help me out.
1. What does it mean to be a riot grrrl? 2. What is your first clear interaction with the feminist movement? 3. Do you think feminism has a place in society today, or have we done what we needed to do? 4. Be honest here: what double standards do you have for women? Do you hold the women you know to specific standards, yet criticize men for having those same standards? Do you judge women too harshly according to society, while at the same time lamenting female stereotypes? 5. What is your biggest issue with being a girl? Now, what’s the thing you love the most, the thing that makes you proud to be female? 6. What do you consider the biggest issues facing women still today? What do you think should be done/what are you doing about it? 7. Freeform question: talk about a purely and strictly female memory. Alternately, why do you think female experiences are good/bad for us as a sex? (a strictly female memory would be a memory or experience that just involved girls, or something that wouldn’t happen to/with men, i.e. menstruation)

the season of unknowing
issue one: every story has to have a beginning
first issue of a strange perzine-conglomeration. Prose and fiction, worldly and not-so worldly observations, photos and quotes, love, life, and zines. This issue features 3 zine reviews, a look at the past year, fiction and freeform poetry, rants about the world and community, and more. Includes a free mini zine and other cutesy things that will fit into the envelope. - Just realizing now that I suck at descriptions. The zine is better, I promise. Paypal and I had a falling out, so no paying that way. I welcome trades, crafty items, and well concealed cash (2.00, to cover copy costs and postage) Letters are a blast, but I'm not posting my address here, so take my email instead and take the initiative. You'll be glad you did, trust me. seasonofunknowing[@]gmail[.]com If you run a distro or know of one that may be interested, drop me a line and let me know. I've never used one before but I'm thinking of submitting to some. ( more pictures )( Read more... ) |

I'm in the starting stages of planning a road trip this summer. I live in New England and have never been off the east coast before, but I have relatives in California, so I want to drive out there. I'm looking for some amazing sights that I can't get out of a guidebook. I don't actually have a route planned yet, so suggest anything: places in your hometown, places you've been before, places you want to go but have never seen. I'd like to see some famous sights too, but I'm really interested in indie and underground places that no one's ever heard of before. Can everyone help me out please??
(I'm really sorry for cross-posting this, I usually hate when people do that but I want to get a wide response base. I've never done anything like this before.)

So, one day when I was about 16, my mother and I were driving by a local duck pond that she used to take my sister and I to when we were little. The pond was currently covered in ice seeing that it was winter and all. Conversation is as follows:
Mom: Krystie, you're smart. Can I ask you something?
Me: Uh, sure.
Mom: Where do the geese go? You know, in winter?
Me: Seriously?
Mom: Yeah! Do they like, tunnel under the water and hibernate?
Me: ... Mom. They fucking fly south for winter. It's called migration.
(After about five full minutes of silence and my mother looking like she's taking a Calculus exam...)
Mom: OH YEAH! Don't tell your sister I just asked you that.

| Well, at least she knows SOME rules of the road ... |
[19 Dec 2009|12:59pm] |
My mother has a friend who is a police officer. Let's call her Betty. She has a daughter who we'll call Deirdre. Deirdre is learning to drive, and Betty was helping her practice, sitting in the car with her while she drove around in a deserted area, drilling her on roadsigns and suchlike.
Suddenly, a very drunk man stepped out in front of the car, bounced off the bumper, and collapsed in the road. Deirdre, however, did not stop the car. Betty yelled at her that she had to stop the car, it's illegal to leave the scene of an accident especially when there's a police officer in the car, etc ...
"I can't stop here, there's a double yellow line!"
(Luckily Betty did persuade her that stopping was ever-so-slightly more important, they went back and checked on the guy, and he wasn't hurt, because they'd been going slowly and possibly because his drunkenness dulled any pain.)
EDIT: In case people don't know, we're in the UK, where a double yellow line down the side of the road means you aren't allowed to stop your car there. So it does make a kind of sense, but ...

Happy Christmas, Merlin fans. Here's an over-ambitious fanmix!
This is, in theory, a mix celebrating Merlin and Arthur's ~platonic love~ through the years, beginning with Merlin's arrival in the city, and ending- sort of vaguely- with the glory years of Camelot. And then it has bonus tracks!

As if we didn't already know that the NME loves The Libertines as much as we do, they included a whopping 5 pictures of the libs (and Babyshambles and DPT) in their 50 most beautiful NME photos of the decade. Pictures and captions under the cut.
