 (art by animated -- miss her!) Into fog, through the fog
We rowed. Then:
The wide sea—so blue, so bright!(Shiki) Can you see the blue? ETA: Later, since so many appear in need of cheering up ... Just for fun, I posted a humor piece about switching bodies with Adam in Adam Musings. Hope a few of you who need a laugh might get one. www.adamtopia.com/index.cgi?actio....1&page=3#305768 |

Juniemoon,
I sent you thanks on the main post for your hysterical story in Adam Musings but did not know it is your birthday! Happy Birthday and thank you for being the founder of, moderator of, and chief contributor to The Moon Garden Lounge. I find the lounge enlightening, inviting, slightly irreverent, but usually relaxing! I like my stanning sunny side up or over easy please! Have a great day Ms. Moon.....

winter, I've been overwhelmed by the number of videos and not watched many. The Trespassing video and the Bad Romance one on suffrage and human rights were FANTASTIC! The Trespassing one makes the song take on a whole new, deeper meaning. Thanks for calling it out! A few years ago, I worked on a web project about women's suffrage in Texas and learned so much, especially about how suffrage came out of the tremendous technological changes that raised the status of women. The type of abuse heaped on the women was not unlike the abuse heaped on Glamberts today, actually. They were old; ugly; should stay at home and know their place. Suffrage would cause " feminism, sex antagonism, socialism, anarchy and Mormonism." Behind all the rhetoric were the people who benefited from the political system remaining as it was: the liquor industry, planters, textile factory owners, railroad magnates, and political machine bosses. Eventually, though, the women took over mainstream thought -- just as we are seeing today with gay people. Amazing. I LOVED Adam's look(s) at NY Fashion Week! I love how Adam changes up his look all the time. Why change so often? Why NOT?! That's what we're here for. (I say, not having changed my look since 8th grade. LOL.) It was so timely, someone shared this video with me today. It is a photo project tracking one man and how his appearance changed over five years: I would love to see a video like this of Adam. Would love to know what mszue and our other "presentation" fans think of this. It is interesting to see how people and travels and other things from the man's life flash by as well, and wonder about how his appearance, from wild to conservative, affected his identity and experiences during the past five years. This is something Adam plays with all the time! Can others watch this? I get a geo block...which should mean that US peeps cannot get it either as I have a ip block on that generally allows me access to US content.... |

annala, kay, mszue, melliemom, lagniappe ... wow. Thank you so much for your kind words. You have no idea how much they touch me. Thank you for making me feel so appreciated just now.   My birthday present to myself is that after work, I am going to visit the animal shelter. I am told that this summer was the worst surrender period ever in the 19 years that rabbits have been accepted. I have a feeling there might be someone there who needs a home, and I happen to know where there is a vacancy. annala, my sister actually did her master's thesis on the political battle over saving the golden-cheeked warbler. lagniappe, I wish I could take credit for founding the moon garden, but that honor belongs to jamie and mika. So far no moderation needed and god willing there never will be ... I do like to keep the plants watered.  mszue, too weird about that video. More proof, if any were needed I guess, that Texas is not really part of the United States. I can see it just fine! Here is a very interesting article from Bloomberg about advertisers and CBS that seems relevant to many of our discussions here: www.businessweek.com/articles/2012-09-06/from-cbs-advertisers-get-the-older-viewers-they-want#r=nav-f-storyExcerpt: CBS has long been derided by rivals for attracting TV viewers considered too old for most advertisers to care about. Now the Murder, She Wrote generation is having the last laugh. Consumers aged 18 to 24, many strapped with college debt and living in their parents’ basements, aren’t forming households or starting families the way their predecessors did. Meanwhile, the youngest members of the massive Baby Boom generation turn 48 this year. And luxury car, financial-services, and pharmaceutical companies—three of CBS’s largest ad categories—want to reach them. . . . The selective nature of the economic slump also plays a role, says David Poltrack, chief research officer for CBS. The 45- to 64-year-old age group was least affected by the recession, according to U.S. Census data. That group’s 2010 median annual income of $60,700 was 2.1 percent lower than before the crisis. Those under 25 suffered a 9.7 percent decline, to $24,140.
