Awesome poly moment:

Asking no less than five people if I can stay in their bed tonight, as mine is covered with costuming. And a cat.

(Two of them responded "yes, but only if you bring the cat". I find this a very very weird instance of synchronity across partners. Must be something about living in New York)

Awesome geek moment:

1:15:20 AM Foster!: Hmm, reminds me of my plan to design Strip magic.
1:15:58 AM Sorky: How?
1:16:04 AM Sorky: Clothing as life tokens?
1:16:19 AM Foster!: You'd remove clothing for loss of life, but I think it'd have to be every 3 or 4.
1:16:53 AM Sorky: *nods*
1:17:01 AM Sorky: Twenty pieces of clothing would be ridiculous
1:17:05 AM Foster!: No doubt.
1:17:12 AM Sorky: "JUST KILL ME ALREADY! I AM TOO WARM!"
1:17:39 AM Foster!: "But I have this dresser ready for my infinite life combo next turn!"

Return to awesome poly moments, only less of a moment and more of a thing:

I have boys who I've kissed in five states and two countries. Such is the peril of having 2d6 boyfriends¹.

((Massachusetts, of course, has the highest concentration of boys-I've-kissed: four. Pennsylvania has two, New York has two, and Maryland and California each have one. Nowait, Pennsylvania should technically only have one as well --I've only promised one of them sloppy make outs, I haven't actually delivered yet.

Have I mentioned that my love life has gotten really frickin' weird this year? Because it has.))

ANDYES I SHOULD CLEAN OFF BED AND SLEEP!

MOOP!

1: Man, this is totally the phrase of my summer. I coined it at Origins, and have been using it at every opportunity since.

ETA: And by boys-I've-kissed, I do actually mean kissed. Not anything more. I am kindof a kiss-slut, which is probably a bad thing, but I do do my damndest to be ethical about it all. Only one of those boys was kissed without knowing I was poly, and the moment it seemed like we might kiss again, I made it damn clear.

...Ethical kiss-slut? Yeah, okay.

The other day, I was idly listening to the radio at work, when some ad came on. Babbling about some important reform or another, and they got as far as saying "President..."

"...Bush" my brain automatically filled in, conditioned by the last eight years.

"...Obama" the radio continued. And it's stupid and silly and I've so clearly drunken the kool-aid, but it made me smile.

At any rate, Happy Birthday, Barack. You're cool.

Goddamnit, every once in a while, one of my pushbuttons gets caught unawares, and in the midst of a perfectly dull morning, I find myself crying, just because of what came up on shuffle on my itunes.

Fuck you, World/Inferno. Fuck your live album, and your introductions to songs, and for making me never quite be able to listen to Cathy Catherine the same way, I suspect. That was pretty, and sad, and I've pretty much been there, yep.

((Also, and in a weirder way, fuck *me* for having all those stupid damn pushbutton issues that get caught unawares. Moreso for having ones I don't-won't-can't talk about, and for ones I at least can't talk about in public fora. I'm too fucking lucky to be sad.))

Roomcleaning. Of course, room is currently at a stage where I'm not sure there's enough space in it to clean it. No, I'm not kidding. This is going to be fun.

"Sirens" is rapidly becoming one of those albums with more songs starred¹ as "good" than not. Other albums that fall into this category include:

"Addicted to Bad Ideas" by World/Inferno Friendship Society- 9/11 songs starred (82%)
"Red-Eyed Soul" by W/IFS -9/15 (60%)
"Assassins" (revival cast)- 9/15 (60%)
"Who Killed Amanda Palmer" by Amanda Palmer- 8/14 (58%)
"Inland Territory" by Vienna Teng- 7/12 (58%)
"Big City Rock" by Big City Rock- 6/11 (55%)
"Across the Universe" (movie cast)- 8/16 songs starred (50%)

"Sirens" has merely 5/14 (36%) songs starred currently, but that'll change as I continue to listen to it. And eventually, I'll go through and figure out what album has the most stars to its name --there are some albums with more double starred songs than others.

And of course, if I went on Dmitri, and figured out which songs need stars still, it would change --when I lost all my playcounts and playlists in '07, it totally affected the starcount of my music, just based on what I've been listening to -this is why Clam Chowder, and a lot of the musicals have many fewer stars than they should have.

Also, it's worth noting that two of my favourite bands --Great Big Sea and Bowling for Soup-- don't have any albums with the majority of stars. Assuming a 12-song album though, GBS can make almost three 100%s for me. That's a little awesome, really.

What albums do you like the absolute majority of songs on?

MOOP!

1: I don't use iTunes's rating system at all properly. Instead, songs that I like get a single star. If I realize I like it immensely, I give it two. I use five stars to mark songs that need to have something done to them, especially if listening to them on my ipod ((things like "go into a playlist" or "cut off the last minute of silence on this one" or whatever)

ETA: Okay, "Sirens" is up to 6/14 (43%). And I suppose it says something about the sort of music I enjoy that the song started and I went "Okay, I know this isn't Dar², and I don't *think* it's Vienna, so...s00j?

2: Because I only have three Dar Williams songs, which is actually pretty freaking tragic. They're all good though --she's got a 100% star-rating in my library. ;D
