Video for all of them, too, that’s impressive!

I recognize a couple of the early ones (1937 was the Jeeves & Wooster theme song, and 1939 was Somewhere Over The Rainbow), but it’s not until 1960 that a switch flips and I go “oh, okay, I’m familiar with all of these.” (Doesn’t falter until the ’00s, when I start not knowing some of the rap/hip-hop songs, and then in the past 10 years I guess I’m just not listening to new music enough.)

The Beatles have the most winners, they’re in here 4 times. Fred Astaire has 2, Judy Garland has 2, Elvis has 2, Queen has 3, Eminem has 2…probably a couple other repeats I missed, there doesn’t seem to be a text list. Genuinely surprised Taylor Swift never shows up — her output as a whole has to be a bigger deal than a lot of the winners from the past 2 decades, they just had at least one breakout hit each.

“Link the most-recognizable song from the year you were born” could be a fun meme…except that if I link mine, you’ll think I’m kidding.

Four days ago I started a really long post reviewing (badly, because I am a bad reviewer and critic) things I've finished in the past few months because I felt like I should. The post started like this:
I really need to learn to just make posts as soon as the idea is in my head rather than hold on to them, so that I won't have to make posts like this and push other post ideas back. Procrastinating these long things that only get longer as I hold out sucks a little. I'm using a template for most of these because otherwise I won't write anything that makes sense or reads well, lol.
You see, because I procrastinated writing review posts I now had to write 8 in one. Except... no I didn't. I realized late last night I can make and post them a few at a time. I've already finished 6/8, but some of them are really long, and some were even truncated for the sake of not having a miles long post. If I separate them I can talk more. So here goes!

The Fam head back to Sheffield where real life catches up with all its movies, video, and card games... huh. Meanwhile (previously?) the Doctor heads off to Aleppo to slay imaginary monsters. The gods have some issues with consent, and are stalking Earth and time with... a reverse wet willy that be stealing nightmares to feed upon. After hooking Graham up to the Tardis for some psychic bonding, they accidentally release the other god from her prison, and everyone is promptly down for their nap... or up as it were, hanging out... Anyway, the Doctor sonics her way to freedom, and they use the imaginary monsters to imprison those pesky gods, and the Fam pick up the pieces of their lives, coz Yaz still owes 50p...

Got halfway through. Thought this was gonna be cool and about coding. More about feminism and tampons. Whatever. D[id not finish.]

Kim на goodreads.com

Помнится, несколько лет назад я интересовался выхлопом американских феминистических проектов по привлечению девочек в программирование, таких как Girls Who Code (этот конкретный проект был основан индуской Решмой Сауджани, адвокатом по профессии, не написавшей в жизни ни строчки кода). Недавно я получил исчерпывающий ответ на свой вопрос, обнаружив книжку 2017 года "Girl Code: Gaming, Going Viral, and Getting It Done". Книжка была написана двумя молодыми женщинами, которые, посетив курсы программирования Girls Who Code, написали игру Tampon Run, в которой нужно было от имени героини закидывать врагов тампонами, а потом изложили свой опыт в книге для подростков.

Для начала стоит пояснить, что же наговнокодили наши юные авторКИ. В 2014 году 16-летняя Софи Хаузер и 15-летняя Андреа Гонсалес, обе жительницы Нью-Йорка, посетили семинедельные летние курсы программирования для девочек Girls Who Code. В качестве итоговой лабораторной работы они получили задание написать игру. Гонсалес, обучавшаяся в школе Hunter College High School, которую она сама называла "радикально левой", заранее знала, что её итоговая лабораторная работа будет феминистической агиткой, направленной "против гиперсексуализации женщин в играх" и упакованной в игру с прокручивающимся экраном типа Super Mario. У Гонсалес уже был опыт создания простейших игр в таком формате благодаря посещению других программистских курсов для подростков. Хаузер не имела понятия ни о программировании, ни о "социальной справедливости" и прочих леворадикальных заёбах, но идея Гонсалес ей понравилась, и Хаузер поспешила к ней примазаться. За полторы недели девочки почему-то отказались бороться с "гиперсексуализацией женщин в играх" и решили вместо этого бороться с "менструальной стигмой". Они написали предельно примитивную игру с графикой 1985 года, в которой кучка пикселей, представлявшая главную героиню, должна была перепрыгивать через кучки пикселей, представлявшие врагов, и собирать упаковки патронов тампонов, которыми можно было стрелять. Поскольку в требования лабораторной работы входило также описание гипотетического будущего развития проекта, Гонсалес и Хаузер, не размениваясь, подобно другим слушательницам курсов, на мелочи вроде добавления новых фич, решили ни много ни мало, а сделать свою лабораторную работу вирусной игрой, и расписали в качестве будущего развития план заходов к леворадикальным СМИ и блогам, которые могли бы быть заинтересованы в менструальном активизме в формате лабораторной работы по программированию.>>> )

IM FINALLY ON MID YEAR VACATIONS!!! YAAYYYY!!! FINALLY!!! even if this trimester has not been very hard im still relieved im out :D. i did mostly well academically, if it weren’t from the fact i failed my math test (I MUST CLARIFY, IT WAS BC OF VERY STUPID REASONS. not bc i didnt understood or anything, i just didnt remember a formula we needed to use in 6 questions until we had 30 minutes to finish the exam) and my physics one (bc i didnt brought my..uhh..compass (?) and we needed it for a practical excercise), but eh, we have some weeks left b4 we actually get into the hard shit, so im sure i can make up for it. im excited to have som much free time under my belt!! i think i’ll dedicate myself to make my ocs art fight profiles, make my neocities website and watch movies and anime this vacations (i have so many i want to watch ;-;). im struggling a bit the get the hang of html, specially on the div thing (AS I CANT SEEM TO MAKE THE BORDERS SHOW AAA) but is ok.

i havent consumed much media recently. i tried watching an extreme film (devil’s experiment) yesterday but eh, it was boring, i only made it through 20 minutes since it was just pointless (and frankly, tame) torture. i might finish it soon. i have also been quite busy making my mom’s birthday present and my dad’s father’s day present which i managed to finish 2day :3 (specially since i asked my mother to simplify her petition as i didnt have much time to do what she originally asked for…but then she simplified it too much and i managed to finish it today). ALSO NEW EPISODE OF ALNST THIS MONTH BABY!!!! idk if i should be happy abt it or not, as we have gotten many many comics revealing mizi’s past, AND OH BOY. i love how those fully breaked cohesively what we knew about mizi, even though i do need to read them again ;-; (the only coherent thought i have is that mizi has been treated as a cutesy dog for all her life, and it has affected her A LOT. and that she’s definetly a lesbian). i seriously hope this wont be the end of alien stage, as 1. i dont want this to end ;-; and 2. WE STILL HAVENT GOT AN EPISODE THAT FULLY FOCUSES ON LUKA. ik. we have gotten a lot information about his past on patreon, the comics and wiege, and is enough to get to a conclusion about what he has gone through, specially taking into account his role in the story as “the perfect idol”. BUT HOLY FUCK WE NEED MORE. AS FAR AS IM CONCERNED, LUKA IS THE ONLY CHARACTER WHO DOES NOT HAVE AN EPISODE FULLY FOCUSING ON HIM (wiege was half him and half hyuna-focused), A FOCUS SONG (like heart, parasite, yk. and to everyone saying the same could be said about sua, let me remind you about heavenly garden and heart. and to everyone saying till does not have a focus song, he had round 3 and a fair chunk of round 6 focusing on him, AND we might get a focus song from him) OR PRACTICALLY ANYTHING THAT EXCLUSIVELY FOCUSES ON HIS POV. ik this is smth stupid to complain about, since as i said before, sua also has a similar situation and we have a fair amount of info about him, but man..it’ll be a bummer that alnst finishes without smth like that ;-;. but eh, this might change soon and i cant complain. but on another note about why i dont want this to end…idk. it seems kinda hard for me to end it rn without it feeling rushed, unless vivimeng pulls our a 7 minute episode, which might not happen. im saying this bc, if it ends rn, luka’s development will prolly be unfinished, we might not know what happens after this season, and i feel as it would need more build up b4 alnst ends. so i trust it wont, maybe they could release this episode and another and it would feel much better :3. though the whole thing abt alnst ending fr this time is uncertain, so if anyone has more info abt it, i would appriciate it :3.

i hope everyone has a nice weekend :3

One thing about updating the decorative arts and design history blog is that my kneejerk loathing of the term "inspo" has me struggling multiple times a week with the strong impulse to block everyone who reblogs my posts with that tag.

It's good for me somehow, probably.

I'm currently exhausted because the spring that pushes the latch bolt out of the kitchen-hall door broke last night after midnight and we spent several hours fixing it this afternoon. Wax took the equivalent spring out of the lockbox of the dining-livingroom door because unfortunately the lockbox is a pre-1940 model and the springs are not manufactured anymore, nor are the parts interchangeable with the later springs from the 40s- model that are still in production, nor can the whole lockbox be easily switched (because the spindle and hole for it are not the same circumference and the boxes themselves can be different sizes). However, the two lockboxes aren't identical. In fact, it looks like the one that broke is the oldest one in the house. She had to squish the spring a bit to get it in, and it wasn't exactly the same shape and size, so we are nervous that it may break soon. (She did all the hard bits with tools, not trusting me not to injure myself, and I cleaned the insides of the lockboxes with q-tips dipped in vinegar and then oiled them with q-tips dipped in mineral oil.) Wax hopes we can get the blacksmith to make a new spring for the spot when that happens, rather than having to replace the entire mechanism, but we don't know how plausible that is.

We can't do without this door and its latch, but the lockboxes on the other doors are all other sizes so they can't be swapped. We need it latched to keep the cats apart! They're making progress, and they've touched noses now, but Tristana still retreats any time Sipuli gets a little excited, and they are only meeting with Sipuli on the leash.

Music Meme Answers

[personal profile] impala_chick
Here are the answers for the music meme. Thanks to [personal profile] likeadeuce [personal profile] adastreia [personal profile] scintilla10 and [personal profile] svgurl for the questions!

4. Is there a song you love but don't like its music video?

There's nothing inherently wrong with the Waffle House music video, but it disappointed me. I love the song, and when I first heard it I thought it had such a great message about being humble/remembering where you came from. But the music video is this huge musical production that feels a bit sterile and very distant from the lyrics.

7. Would you wear a t-shirt of a band you're not into?

No, because I wouldn't want to answer awkward questions about the shirt :P

8. Is there an artist or song that you like, despite being of a genre you don't usually like?

I like Andy Black's solo work, but I don't really listen to emo or Black Veil Brides (maybe I should?).



10. Favorite solo artist?

Halsey or Demi Lovato.

The rest of the questions:
14. A song or album from the 50s or earlier:



21. A song or album from this year or last year:

Music for People Who Believe in Love by Joe Jonas ♥ There's only one song I'm not crazy about on the entire album.

22. What’s your favorite song or album from the year you where born?



28. Have you ever made/got a mixtape as gift to/from a friend?

Of course! This was so common, I remember burning CDs for my friends for their birthdays or special events in high school. I think the last time I got a burned CD was from a boyfriend in college, but it wasn't a mixtape - just a copy of a CD.

35. A song you like in a language you don’t speak:



No idea what's being said, but it's so lovely!

38. Which was the first concert you went to?

I'm not entirely sure but probably a band that was playing for free at the Fair. Maybe Tower of Power?

40. Which was the best concert you’ve ever been to?

Fall Out Boy was super fun - that also had a lot to do with the crowd but they sounded so good. Brooks and Dunn had such an impressive stage production - even from the cheap seats it looked fantastic and every song had a cohesive theme, plus I loved their banter. And then I have to mention the very first Jonas Brothers show I ever went to, when they weren't famous and Joe jumped into the small crowd and serenaded everyone with "Mandy" and it was totally incredible.

42. Your favorite(s) “no skips” album(s):

Badlands by Halsey (2019). Youngblood by 5 Seconds of Summer (2018).

49. Is there a cover you like more than the original version?

Of course the original (1975) is great, but The Chicks cover of Landslide is SO epic imo (2002).

56. A song/album/artist you wish you could forget so you could have the experience of hearing it for the first time again:

A Little Bit Longer by Jonas Brothers in 2008. This was the album that launched their career into superstar territory and I really remember every single song on that album. It came at just the right time in my life and it made me feel so understood. That album was so important to me, it's hard to capture how amazing it felt to listen to it for the first time but I'd gladly feel all that again :)

From [community profile] thefridayfive

1. What item would you be embarrassed for people to know you own?
Thinking... thinking... thinking... ummmm..... maybe.... a bunch of stuffed animals? I don't even know if I'm embarrassed by that. I like them. Get over it. I try not to just buy a bunch but I bought 2 peep bunny "pillow" recently and then when we were at Black Bear Dinner, I got an adorable black bear stuffed animal. He's freaking adorable.

2. What is something you splurged on just for you?
I almost never splurge on myself but like I said the black bear stuffed animal was the last thing. On and I bought into an app to watch my show. But only for the 2 months it will be on.

3. What is something that you own with no real world value that is priceless to you?
Just my favorite books.

4. Do you collect anything?
Books. Nothing regular. I don't love collecting things.

5. What item belonging to a friend/family member do you covet?
I don't really "covet" peoples things because that's not kosher. But I'm a little jealous most people I know have a good working car. LOL Yeah, I need to get me a car.
