|Edwin Savatia during the interview
Edwin Savatia a final year student at
Maseno University shares with readers of The Burning Splint about being published at 23 years and challenges facing young writers in . Kenya
Burning Splint: Who is Edwin Savatia?
Edwin Savatia: Am a Kenyan born on October 1988 in
. I went to Vihiga County St. Joseph's primary in Webuye and am an alumnus of . Currently am a final year student of Bachelor's of Arts Communication and Media Technology with IT in Kakamega High School . Maseno University
BS: What is the genre of your writing? Can you describe the style of you writing?
ES: Am an author with a lining to fiction covering adventure and human interest stories. Am also a poet with over 20 poems on unpublished manuscripts, on top of my published book Blood Creep Ghoul, I too have one complete manuscript Witch of Mikovo: The 13 Mortal Hearts and another one still in the pipeline.
BS: Please highlight to the readers about Witch of Mikovo: The 13 Mortal Hearts?
ES: its main theme and setting is about culture and environmental issues in an ancient African town. A town inhibited by a council is inherited by a tyrannical major from his erstwhile humble and peace loving father.
BS: When did you start writing, and from where do you draw your inspiration?
ES: I started writing seriously in form 3 this was in 2005. I got then, and still get my inspiration from society in issues like betrayal, unrequited love and other emotional theme. I see stories in many things as family setup, society and politics.
With time though I took to fiction to express myself better.
BS: As a young author with your first book, who is any established mentor author inspiring you to write?
ES: locally I get inspired by David Maillu and Mejja Mwangi with his book Cockroach Dance; Nigerian Chinua Achebe and Kem Nankwo with his book Danda; and R.L. Stine.
BS: How to they inspire you?
ES: It's the way they narrate a story simply with the African traditional touch.
BS: Let's talk about your current book Blood Creep Ghoul and how you came to publish it?
ES: The book was published on February this year by I Proclaim Publishers where it costs about Ksh. 800 online and Ksh. 1,200 when ordered in hardcover. An author friend proposed I Proclaim Publishers which is an imprint of Dorans Publishers.
BS: I meant how you came about moving online away from established publishers in
..…. Kenya
ES: I was coming to that actually, I tried three local publishers, 2 of them didn't bother to reply which was disheartening while Longhorn Publishers was positive by reading the manuscript and replying at about 2 months and they had a problem with the theme.
BS: As a young writer what are the challenges facing you and others in Africa with a bias in
. Kenya
ES: The biggest is getting your first piece published and cutting a niche audience in fiction with romance, gangster or a war front story from conversations. Most publishers too don't believe in young writers and worse still if a young writer is trying to break a niche.
BS: What about as a student and among friends and a family?
|The Author
ES: I don't follow you, in what way?
BS: I mean in line with challenges as a writer with time for studying and support from people closer to you with a make believe attitude that the profession doesn't pay enough?
ES: Surely…. writing and editing stories is time consuming, but my family and friends are very, very supportive perhaps since writing is in line with my profession in Communication. Blood Creep Ghoul 's acknowledgment would attest to this.
BS: Talking about the Blood Creep Ghoul may you give us a gist of the book.
ES: it is a 142 page fiction book where a platoon sets camp in
with an aim of attacking another camp for gun powder which they successfully do. The ensuring counter offensive and fighting triggers a reincarnation of a long dead soul of a ghost. Kra Valley Forest
BS: The blood creep ghoul.
ES: Exactly and that is where the book gets its title.
BS: How can readers access a copy?
ES: I Proclaim books is based in Pennsylvania USA and the book is available in online copy and hard cover by ordering it on the following link: http://ipaustore.com/ip4923.html they can also place an order and inquiries from my email and through The Burning Splint (contacts are at the end of this interview).
BS: As a Kenyan writer published by a
publisher what is you take on the country's publishing environment? USA
ES: Honestly, publishers should not take long with author's manuscript because any feedback Is better than an agonizing silence. They too should give a chance to young writers to create a more diverse market.
BS: Comment on the notion of Kenyan youths being poor readers with invasion of social media and electronic media?
ES: The readership is low with a laxity caused by reading for immediate knowledge but not literary work during a leisure time.
Additionally, there no initiative to get an original copy with most across the age groups opting for pirated version affecting the industry. Equally publishers and readers are afraid in trying out new readers and opt for legends like Chinua Achebe.
BS: May you take this privilege to recommend 5 books from your shelf to the readers of The Burning Splint. Please leave a short comment after the author and the title?
ES: On top of the list if Chinua Achebe's Things Fall Apart, because of its mastery in capturing the African story and society. Secondly is Philip Gourvetrich's We wish to inform you that tomorrow we will be killed with our families which gives a real life experience of Rwanda's genocide.
Thirdly is John Grisham's The Last Juror with its mastery in court room drama, Mejja Mwangi's Cockroach Dance would follow with the best of human life and society of the Kenya's 70s and finally Kem Nankwo's Danda for throwing humor in Nigerian culture which reflects to other African countries.
BS: Career wise can you take writing seriously as a profession?
ES: Most definitely, am confident to pursue it because it is a passion and the best way to express myself not only as a write but to the all society.
BS: Patting shot?
ES: The society should embrace young writers by embracing their work with a positive criticism this would increase more literary works by Kenyans and Africans at large.
Most important too is the inception of new media in publishing which should be harnessed in the publishing industry without curtailing the professional standards.
BS: Thank you Mr. Savatia for your time The Burning Splint wishes you success in your endeavors?
ES: Thanks Mannu….. I mean Mr. Odeny; I wish you success in your career too.

The wedding went fantastically and the new grill worked out fantastic! I will have lots of pictures of the actually cooking. I started with the wedding, because this is the reason the hubby made the grill. We wanted to give his niece and new nephew our version of a wedding present. We love them both and they sure makes us feel young! Thank you, Liz and Jade and may you have lots of wonderful years together! We love you both.

Rick & Steve
This show on Logo is pretty funny. It's about Rick & Steve, who are the happiest gay couple ever. Their friends aren't quite as happy, such as the lesbian couple that goes to Home Depot and fixes things all the time. They are funny because everytime they're driving, they have a pseudo-Melissa Ethridge song playing on the radio called, "I'm a Lesbian." If you've ever been to West Hollywood, you know the "Roses" lady. She is a tiny little Mexican woman who sells roses and advertises her product by calling out, with an incredible rolling rrrrrrr, "rrrrrrrroses???" Anyways, she makes cameo appearances in Rick & Steve, and I think that's great. So this show gets two thumbs up and has been added to TiVo Season Pass.

Do you know where I can find a clip of her part online somewhere? I've been looking forever and I cannot find her! (Rrrrosas Lady)

Boy have you been busy! LOVE how the white brightens your kitchen. Wish hubby would let me do that in ours...
Lovely purse. I see a woman walking towards the right from the center of your background painting. It'll be fun to see what you come up with to finish it.
I am awaiting the first of that nasty snow storm to appear which apparently is any moment now here in PA. Praying we don't lose power. Happy PPF!

You are so versatile!!! Your "new" kitchen looks wonderfully brighter and bigger than before. Great job! I like your pretty background. Are you going to collage on top or leave it a background? And the purse is fantastic. I cannot imagine how you made it but it is delightful.

That's quite a transformation in your kitchen! And the purse looks fab! Sorry, can't help you with the mouse thing .... If you want to find shapes in your background it sometimes helps to turn it around a few times, or look at it on your computerscreen.

Hey Robin! First about your painting, in the middle, to the right a bit, I can see a face. It could even be a cat. Not a large face, but I do see eyes, mouth and it could be ears. That's why I say, maybe a cat. Love the purse! Well done my friend! And, your kitchen, WOW!!! You have been busy! Looks amazing!! Big Hugs!

Google recently introduced Micro-Moments–a new micro-burst advertising platform. It probably isn't in your current marketing and advertising program but the data behind the technology suggests it should be. Turns out that customers are becoming less and less likely to bounce from website to website when they need a product or a service. It's too cumbersome, especially when you're in a pinch. Moreover, customers are also highly influenced by the immediacy of relevant results on mobile devices. According to Google's research "62% of customers are likely to take action right away" when solving a problem or searching for relevant content on a mobile device.
Here's the link to further details about the program: https://www.thinkwithgoogle.com/micromoments
Micro Moments works like this: My car breaks down and I'm stuck on the freeway. Or, I'm in a new city and I'm looking for a place to eat. Or, my air conditioner breaks and I need service. I grab my phone and start a search…
"Tow truck" or "Best restaurant in Spokane" or "I need an AC repair"
Micro Moments recognize the query and populate a portion of my screen with "micro moment" ads. Simple as that. And because I'm in a hurry or a bind I, like most, am likely to take some action. Pretty cool. Makes it easy.
Static advertising platforms (even websites) are degrading in terms of influence and action. It's important for busy small business owners to recognize their dwindling influence and to invest in advertising that capitalizes on powerful mobile influence. Hard to believe but it's once again time to re-asses our lead generation tactics and live in the micro moment!

With a population of 18.7 million, the New York metropolitan area is the largest in the country. Known as the Big Apple, New York is home to a dizzying number of famous sights, including the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, the Empire State Building, Radio City Music Hall, Coney Island, and Central Park. With a rich cultural history, New York is also home to Broadway and many renowned museums.
The New York metropolitan area includes parts of northern New Jersey, Connecticut, and Pennsylvania. New York City proper (population 8.1 million) is divided into 5 boroughs, each with its unique character: Manhattan, the Bronx, Staten Island, Queens, and Brooklyn, the latter two located on Long Island.
In 2004, New Yorkers made an average of $43,277, 31% over the national average. According to the US Department of Commerce's Bureau of Economic Analysis, average income has grown 6.7% over the past 35 years.
While New York and its economy were profoundly affected by the attacks on the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001, New York remains the country's center for these sectors:
- Business
- Finance
- Fashion
- Media and culture
In addition to the New York Stock Exchange and NASDAQ, New York is home to more Fortune 500 companies than any other city. The area's largest employers include:
- Mount Sinai Medical Center
- Merrill Lynch
- JP Morgan
- Verizon
As New York has seen a recent decline in the industrial and manufacturing sectors, the service industry is growing, while finance and biotechnology remain strong.

|And I almost missed it, THANK you ShOperaRach for your blog post!
But between my appointments and errands this morning and afternoon, I literally just found out about this because of my awesome blog friend ShOperaRach. You are the best, thank you!
Okay, so remember, the Catch of the Day is only one day and the items change day to day. This season's version is for 30% off selected items, including womens, mens, Johnnie B., and mini Boden. I typically only show off my picks from the women's section, but will sometimes include Johnnie B. items if they look like they could work for most women, even if they aren't 18 and under. :)
Today the emphasis seems to be on cardigans, which is fab! I have quite a few Boden cardigans, and really do believe that these staples are just that, necessary, but for all their "necessity," have such strong staying power in a wardrobe. (Bonjour, completer pieces in many different hues!)
Gorgeous Cashmere Cardigan. I have wanted this since it debuted as part of the Limited Edition line back in the spring. Of course Boden has the fab sale today, the day I deposit the check in the bank, which means the funds I have won't be available till tomorrow. Le sigh. :) Maybe Johnnie will be nice to me and let this be part of the COTD on Friday??? Pretty please?
Kit's Mommy did a wonderful review of this cardigan here (halfway down).
Embellished Cashmere Cardigan. Again, sigh, why today, Johnnie? This bit of pretty is really tempting me. I have will power, though, and so does my budget, but for those of you not in my position, I will totally live vicariously through you!
Chic Merino Cardigan and Richmond Cardigan. If you liked the look of the Cashmere Cardi Coat I reviewed last week but find it a bit too much (it is pricey, I admit to that AND it is not part of the COTD today), then take a gander at these two. They have a similar look, especially the merino wool version. The merino wool that Boden uses is soft and lovely, and I have no problem recommending it to you all. The Richmond Cardigan was actually reviewed today by Suburban Mom (wonderful timing, thank you!).
Favourite Crew Neck Cardigan. This item is literally able to complete all forms of outfits, from pretty pencil skirt toppers to a bit of color for a jeans and white tee look.
Not looking for a cardigan? Boden has a few sweaters on sale, too.
Bella Jumper. Many colors on sale, and was reviewed last week by ShOperaRach. :)
Notting Hill Jumper. I was also eyeing this pretty. LOL. :) I love the idea of using it as a tunic and wearing it over a striped tee and belting it.
Have a TON of money just laying around? Well, you would have to part with less of it for this EXCEPTIONAL Limited Edition item:
Leopard Beaded Cardigan. This is very beautiful, and would be the ultimate "stay in my wardrobe forever" kind of item, but yowza, the price (even if it is more palatable on sale).
Okay, I just tried a code I had on one of my catalogs and when I applied the code it said at the top of the Gorgeous Cashmere Cardigan, "15% applied to all items (excluding Catch of the Day items). So there you go! I will say that regardless of extra % off or not, the 30% is a good % off, especially for these pieces! You can also use your code to get free shipping or you can use my link here (takes you to mini Boden, but will still apply free ship/returns to all items in your bag):
Mini Boden Winter Launch plus Free Shipping and Returns!
Have a great day, and I will be back tomorrow (and hopefully the rest of the week) with COTD updates. (Our hotel in Paris has the internet, so I can probably take a mo every day to write a quick blog post!)

Matteo Bastiani
Postdoctoral Research Assistant
My central research interest is the development and application of magnetic resonance methods for neuroimaging to study the structural architecture of the brain. More specifically, I have been working on the analysis of data acquired using diffusion-weighted imaging to study the anatomical connectivity of the brain both non-invasively and in vivo. Such a combination of methodological aspects with neuroanatomy helps to improve and advance our understanding of the architectural organization of the human brain in health and disease alike.
Diffusion imaging has been successfully introduced in both clinical and neuroscientific settings, to study neurological disorders (i.e. acute stroke) as well as the brains connectivity. Since its first application, the field related to this technique has experienced an exponential growth in terms of publications and applications. Furthermore, new techniques are constantly being developed to improve the reliability of the way in which we infer the white matter connectivity of the brain.
Recent developments have shown that, by using diffusion imaging, it is possible to infer not just the macroscopic organization of white matter, but also its microscopic properties such as axonal diameters. This can be used once more to improve the models of brain connectivity and the early diagnosis of certain neurological diseases.
The main goal of my research is to combine both the micro and the macroscopic information which can be obtained by diffusion imaging to reconstruct a reliable model of brain's white matter organization both at its micro and macro-structural level.

Made circa 1958
Dial, case and movement signed, in good condition LATER BEZEL DIAM: 39 mm THICKNESS: 13 mm NOTE: The first GMT model, reference 6542, was launched in 1954 and was immediately recognizable by the bright acrylic or bakelite bezel insert with the twenty-four hour markings printed to its underside. This material was chosen to reduce reflection which would disturb the pilots. The bezel ring was also made of acrylic and coated in an alloy to resemble metal. It then turned out that the flexibility of this material could cause the bezel insert to break and that in very warm environments the printing would often flake off. Consequently, Rolex decided to replace the acrylic insert against a more resistant metal version.

The American Anthropological Association – the leading body of professional Anthropologists – has produced a cool website about the concept of "Race", as known through historical, biological, and experiential perspectives.
Designed as a public service from the discipline, it's a well-produced website which manages to be broad in scope, and yet deep enough to be fairly educational.
For example, there is a nice interactive graphic which shows the association between sickle cell anemia and malaria. The sickle-shaped red blood cells, while not optimal for health in their own right, do a valuable service in protecting the body against malaria by helping rid the malaria parasite. Contrary to popular wisdom, then, the disease is not related to skin colour.
Similarly, you can take a quiz with the provocative title "Who Is White?" (no hints given here), or play the simple "Game of Life" in which different daily events are given multiple meanings or outcomes based on Race.
The little module on skin colour alone should educate a lot of people who are unaware of the biological underpinnings of human diversity and how these do not map onto conventional notions and categories of Race.
The Historical perspective is overwhelmingly from a United States history point of view, but the AAA is indeed an American institution so that's understandable and much of the information transcends borders.
Race is a loaded concept! Anthropologists may know that it is a social construct, but not everyone knows that, and certainly not everyone has a benign view of what "Race" entails. This website is a good example of a professional organization reaching outside the academy and trying to bring their findings directly to the public in an accessible way.

So my son comes in and told me that a boy at school thinks he is cute. His face was red. I asked him how he felt. He said he was a little embarrassed. I told him it was a compliment and to get used to it.
I have been told on many occasions that I am a hottie. By many different people girls, boys and some I was not sure about.
Just this morning at the grocery store this chick to me I was a hottie and looked me up and down like a piece of meat. The other day I was standing in line at Starbucks and this black man told me I was a long tall drink of water. I just smiled and said thanks to them both.
It is just something both of my sons have to get used to. Even my sons teachers tell them how attractive they are (stay away from teachers) and my gay friends are like wow those kids are going to drive people nuts.
It is something I have dealt with forever. So they should just get used to it.

So We Joined Facebook Last night
Lee doesn't remember anybody which is funny. I was like so when I'm 34 my memory will start to dim good thing I did this now...lol...
Ok so Sunflower Express's 1st full length episode is nearing completion we go into editing phase as soon as I finish my GD animation. There has been so much stuff going on that it is really hard for me to dig in but my goal is today.
Me and Cynt. will be heading to Mayorga Cafe on FEB. 7 for an art fair so I will be frantically making products for that in the very very near future. Gobie Keychains anyone????
Life has been a bit hechtic lately but I am very glad that I have a husband like I do. He really doesn't care about all the bullshit stuff and is mostly happy when I'm happy. So I give him mad props cause I'm hard to handle sometimes. The mom thing is exhausting and working the show is like a full time job in and of its self, on top of all the other things like the shop and the business. But you know I like to be busy, keeps me out of trouble and my mind engaged.
I hate the winter so its easy for me to drift until the temperature hits something remotely normal.
Ok enough procrastinating... time to get back to work.

Stumble Upon lead me to Stumble upon the Rights Never Ending Racial Bias
See we forget that a very large portion of the country has not evolved to follow the lofty ideals of the Left. We can't just start to think that things changed overnight. The work really has just begun. Though everyone is entittled to their own opinion, I don't know why some people think that its ok to say things like negro and blackie in regard to our president. Dude he's just as white as most of you and many of you down the line will find that you have a few darker skinned folks in your background. The color of your skin doesn't mean you will be a bad president and really we've already done this old white guy thing like 43 times already... Real Change means doing something different.

What if the mightiest word is love?
And to love each other and ourselves most of all. Nothing will ever change if we can't see the love and value in each and every person in this country and on this planet.
I love the fact that he included so many musicians and creative people in his Celebration.
I highly suggest everyone sign this petition http://www.petitiononline.com/esnyc/petition.html for the creation of a secretary of the arts. I am signature numba 159969.
Arts should be elevated to a higher level in this country and not just music. I'm talking about potters, jewelry makers, illustrators, painters, sculptors, mixed media artists, anyone who lifts a hand to do anything out of intent to beautifully communicate a message!
on a side note We did not go into DC though I really wanted to today... Number one its freaking freezing, My son is like 3... and hubby is at work so I'd be by myself... My Friend Cynt was gonna go with me but she lucked into tickets and took her dad. I really think today was super important for the older generation of folks. Hey I'm 30 I'll catch him in 4 years!
I am block printing some cards today for VDAY... and I hope to work on some felt stuff later. Will post picks!
Happy Barack Obama Day!

Educating your customers
How exactly to you effectively communicate what is and is not Good Design.
Most customers will have no clue as to how a pallete is chosen. Or how thoughtfully to arrange text to formulate a cohesive message.
Many Customers have seen ideas that they like, but do not know how or if the samples they like will effectively communicate their message.
Things to remind clients:
- Your marketing materials are your business. If your business is Dog Care. Your images should correspond with Dog Care. This is simple but you will inevitably find the client who wants to use ambiguous photos or graphics that do not fully communicate the fact that you run a Dog care business.
- The most effective design strategy is to quickly engage the consumer in what you do. Studies say that you have approximately 2 seconds to grab someones attention. Your cover design should encourage a potential customer to read your materials.
- The average consumer skims and does not read. Your headings should be well crafted with pertinent information that they will in some capacity retain.
- The overall look and feel of the brochure should correspond to the type and style of business that the client operates.
- Many clients will say things like I would like a bold vibrant design when in actuality this is not what they like or desire. Clients can be confused as to what they actually like and sometimes it becomes tricky when you are knee deep in a layout for them to decide that what they actually want is a very subdued layout. Take a deep breath, bang your head on your keyboard and start over.
- The average client usually can not communicate effectively what they want. I said average because I have dealt with some very creative and knowledgeable clients in my graphic design business. This makes our job easier.
- If your client wants something that you are not comfortable with feel free to direct them to one of the many P.O.D services that will print what ever they want. Don't feel as though you have to put your name on a product that is not of a quality you believe in.

Welcome to Shes So Crafty Art & Design
Ok so this blog is going to be a little bit about everything from a creative perspective. ok so like what inspired me today you ask??
At this present moment in time to very important things are going on in the world. One is the inauguration of Barack Obama, the second is my 35 month old son finally voluntarily going to the bathroom!!! I've been working non stop in the last few months so I really thought it would never happen and then all of the sudden presto! So tip to all you moms killing yourselves thinking that it's your fault and if you weren't so busy and that your kid is going to be five wearing diapers take a deep breath and have a glass of wine cause seriously its gonna be alright!
The Previous thing I mentioned was the inauguration. I'm so excited and happy and I have been wondering for a while if this was all really happening. But it is and It really is inspiring. I think for along time as a country we have been pretty depressed and not really all that hopefulI. Right now I'm feeling kinda depressed. You know how it feels when your really bad boyfriend all your friends hate and you know is bad for you breaks up with you and you still cry and miss him that's kinda how I feel about George Bush right now. It was really really bad but who are you going to laugh at? There will be no knowing wink at the cute french guy at the paper stand when you wear your Bush WMD t shirt.
But I am excited and encouraged by all the positive energy and Yes I have been considering changing my plans to stay home on Tuesday (NO STROLLERS!!!) and might be braving the ridiculous cold with my tot monster, for a few pics to add to the Obama scrap book.
On the Art front this weekend I am finishing up some animation for Sunflower Express. Hopefully that will be done very soon so I can get back to doing some fun art... It's pretty hard when you have so many ideas and not enough time to do it all. I have notebooks filled with all the stuff I've wanted to do but never got around to yet. Plus I never took pictures of all the stuff I made for people for christmas... I was basically prototyping for my etsy shop.
Who knows you guys may see some of it for sale real soon!

Blockbuster Video was still open on the High Street when this film first came out on DVD. I can remember seeing it on the shelf in the new releases section, and wanting to hire it out. Having a partner who hates horror films is quite unfortunate. So I never did. And I must admit, I thought it would probably end up being one of those awful and cheap horror films anyway, one that you wished you'd not wasted an hour an a half of your life to watch.
I found it on Now TV last week and thought it would make do whilst doing the ironing. Something that did intrigue me about The Eye is that it's based on an original Japanese version. I love Japanese horror movies, and I hoped that the film would retain some of the essence of the original.
The Eye tells the story of Sydney Wells. She is a concert violinist and has been blind since a childhood firecracker accident blinded her. In spite of this, Sydney is a happy, confident woman, not held back by her disability. She is, in fact, improved by it in some way.
At the beginning of the film Sydney gets a double corneal transplant, the thing that will make her already practically perfect life, complete. Supposedly.
The film is quite eerie from the start, and when Sydney first opens her eyes and everything is blurry, she sees a dark figure standing in the corner in the doctor's clinic; a figure that's certainly not meant to be there. She sees it again at night, when she's trying to sleep in the hospital. It seems to be leading away one of the other patients, and come the morning, that patient has passed away.
So for a while we see things from Sydney's viewpoint, and there's a real claustrophobia to this part of the film, a claustrophobia that doesn't really let go until the final scenes.
What struck me about this film, and something I think the director did very well, was the way he portrayed Sydney's increasing vulnerability as her sight recovers. Wouldn't we all imagine that getting one's sight back would be such a gift? Instead we watch a confident and independent blind woman quite quickly turn into a vulnerable, needy and paranoid sighted one, with so many new things to learn and unlearn. I found myself regretting on her behalf ever having the corneal transplant in the first place.
Sydney is seeing things; having visions, and no-one seems to believe her. And when she looks in the mirror, she seems to be suffering a real case of mirrored-self misidentification. She doesn't recognise the woman staring back at her. And so, on top of everything else, it seems she might also be losing her mind. But they are more than visions. She can enter into what seems like another world, where violence can be inflicted upon her. And she is seeing dead people. Sydney looks for answers, and she begins with trying to track down the person who donated their corneas to her in the first place.
I don't want to give anything away, as there will still be many people who haven't seen this film. This film didn't have the best reviews online, but I like it. I like it because it hasn't been overly sanitised by Hollywood. And I like it because it is evidently heavily influenced by the original Japanese version, and in fact still gives a very big nod to the film that inspired it, and does so respectfully.

By now, it should be well established that I am in love with the incredible amount of over-the-top drama Keiko Takemiya has managed to cram into her classic series Kaze to Ki no Uta. I love every angsty minute of every angsty page as Serge and Gilbert struggle with their unbelievably traumatic pasts, the homophobic and racist society around them, and their own self-hatred. Basically, I love that this is pretty much what being a teenager is like. Everything! Is! Life! Or! Death! (Or was that just me?)
So in the spirit of a new look at my love for this series, I decided to live blog my reading of Book Eight. Come, see these classic pages in a new way: through my eyes! And in the spirit of classic TV sitcoms, this live blog was prerecorded in front of a live audience (mostly my sister) because I don't actually have several hours in the middle of a work day to sit and read manga and hang out online to ramble about it. But in the spirit of actually live live blogs, I'll be posting bits and pieces every few minutes and hanging out on Twitter, so really, it'll be just like a non-prerecorded live blog.
And warning: As with my other posts on this series, there are spoilers in these bits and pieces. Click through if you dare!
So Book Eight begins with the boys returning to boarding school after the summer of love (and also terror because you know, it is still Kaze to Ki no Uta). Let's see what happens to them this year!
p10 O noes! Serge and Gilbert are no longer roomies! And Serge gets into a fight over it! We're off to a bad start. The world is trying to tear these lovers apart.
p25 Gilbert jumping on the horse into Auguste's vortex of evil is amazeballs.
p31 Seriously. What is wrong with everyone at this school?
p45 Pascal tells Serge not to be gay and uses magnet poles as a demo. I'm not sure I buy his thinking that human sexuality is a matter of opposite poles attracting.
p50 Pascal's sis Patricia is giving Gilbert a run for his money.
p52 Gilbert alone in a crowd! Always alone! Betrayed by Serge for a girl!
p57 But Serge is thinking about Gilbert on his date with the girl.
p66 Naturally Pat takes this chance to confide in Gilbert about her feelings for Serge.
p68 Gilbert puts on a big show of laughing off the idea that he is Serge's bestie. He's not fooling anyone.
p69 And now Serge alone in a crowd, another reminder of the many ways he and Gilbert are meant for each other.
p74 Sebastian is still totes in love with Serge for some reason.
p76 Serge tenderly apologizes to Gilbert and yet again I draw parallels with abusive relationship patterns.
p77-81 Gilbert in tormented inner dialogue. Angoisse! Serge has made him aware of Auguste's true nature and now he's run off with that girl when all Gilbert wants is to sex someone up.
p82 Shocking revelation! Auguste is engaged!!! Dum dum duuuuuuummmmm! And to a little girl! The man never fails to get grosser.
p84 Serge races off to read the letter he just happened to get that very day. The little girl marrying Auguste is his childhood sweetheart Angeline. Damn.
p86 I love how she always uses the weather to reflect character emotions. The storm around Serge and his inner turmoil are hilariously contrasted by the kid in the window yelling, "Hey Serge! Your soup's getting cold!"
p89 Serge imagines angelic Gilbert returning to the arms of evil Auguste. Love this panel.
p92 Why are Pascal and the gang all rough lines in the last panel? They look like ghosts.
p96 Serge makes his dramatic escape to chase after Gilbert and keep him out of evil Auguste's clutches!
p97 But before he can go after Gilbert, he must talk with Carl or their friendship will be OVER!
p98 Carl is surprisingly understanding, given his puritanical nature.
p100 Great movement in these panels. I love the shot of the horse's legs.
p101 Serge falls asleep in the carriage and fears he has missed Gilbert, but of course like every other bit of perfect timing in this series, he just happens to come upon Gilbert at the very moment he wakes up.
p105 Big kiss! Serge takes the lead. Silence as Gilbert releases the newspaper with the news of Auguste's engagement, the symbolic release of the hold of Auguste in his heart. Now he only has eyes for Serge!
p107 Aaw, so sweet sleeping together in the sunbeam. It all worked out for the best. Oh wait, I still have 200 pages and two more books to read.
p117 Wow. Kids are mean. One boy says to Gilbert: "Just being in the same group as you makes me want to throw up."
p118 Gilbert interrupts Serge's study group by throwing chocolate vine at their feet. I didn't know there even was such a thing. Kaze, you are always teaching me!
p122 She has taken the gloves off with Auguste! And I didn't think she was wearing any before. But the representations of him in this book are all actually demonic, and Gilbert is always an angel with him. Maybe because these images are through Serge's eyes and he views Auguste as pure evil after the events of the last book. And you know, rightly so.
p125 Ha ha! Gilbert is actually clutching his head he is in such turmoil.
p127 This lunatic carved the mother of Jebus into a tree. To pray to.
p130 The lunatic is kicking up shit between Serge and Gilbert. He tells Gilbert the truth about Auguste's marriage and Gilbert's world crumbles as he realizes Serge lied to him.
p135 It's on! Gilbert throws a book at Serge, hits him in the head!
p137 But Serge doesn't think he was lying. He really believes the marriage won't happen. He's so deluded. Of course it will. It is guaranteed to make Serge and Gilbert unhappy, so therefore it has to happen. I think Takemiya used that as her motto writing this series.
p139 Disembodied evil Auguste!
p144 Dang. They are really having it out. Serge snaps when Gilbert sneers that Breau is better, and Serge realizes that Gilbert wants him to sex him. Even though Gilbert *knows* what happened to Serge (evil Auguste).
p152 Aaw. Cuddle monkeys.
p156 Jesus. Gilbert fucked Serge up pretty bad.
p159 The classic calendar pages flying away to show the days passing.
p162 And Gilbert is back to his old slutty ways.
p168 Uh oh! Serge stumbles upon a drunk-looking Breau in the greenhouse.
p169 And Gilbert is hiding and watching the whole thing!
p170 Gilbert casually tosses his hair and invites Serge to hang out. So onto a horse they get! That is how they did back then.
p172 And in the secluded abandoned building, Serge makes his move!
p174 That passionate kiss is not bringing them back together, though. They both have troubled faces as the chapter ends.
New chapter starts with a bang! After telling Gilbert how beautiful he is and how he can't stand seeing Gilbert with all those boys, Serge confesses his own love for Gilbert!
p179 If Takemiya was ever subtle, she has thrown all that out the window now. Gilbert responds to Serge's confession with "……it's a sin." Oh these star-crossed lovers!
p180 And then it's five pages of them getting it on!
p190 And then Serge gets back to being Serge, and fusses about them missing dinner. Sure, life-changing sexual/emotional experience, but what about supper!!
p197 Gilbert is a changed man! As proven by the fact that he actually smiled at Long Hair. (The lunatic from before. What is this guy's name again? Rosemarine's friend.)
p198 And then a great montage of Gilbert having his shit together at school. All he needed was for Serge to do him. Aaw.
p203 New boyfriend syndrome steals Serge from his friends and they are not happy about it. And in panel four, Carl appears to be wrestling an alligator.
p207 Hm, I don't think the word "scat" was around back in the days of the frilly shirts.
p208 Ooh, Gilbert becomes Serge's muse!
p210 What the hell is this fire horse thing?
p211 But you knew their idyllic times had to end. Shadowy (literally!) doings afoot! Looks like Auguste is not done in the battle for Gilbert and is going through Rosemarine to have another student take over where Breau left off.
p216 And while Serge is being fêted by his teacher for writing his first song, Gilbert is getting stoned (in the Biblical sense. So far no drugs in this story. Just lots of sex and drinking) in the woods by Breau's would-be successor. This guy's way meaner than Breau.
p218 Wow. This is really sinister and dark. The new evil threatens to take out Serge's eyes with his slingshot if Gilbert doesn't sex him whenever he wants. I have to say again the drama just never stops with Takemiya.
p223 Gilbert tries to make out like getting raped by evil dudes is just him back to his old ways. Serge: "You betrayed me!" The shadows on his face here are perfect.
p225 Noodly philosophical interjection from the ghost of Serge's dad.
p236 Serge reconnects with his friends by hammering some stuff together. And throwing nails at them. These kids have weird hobbies.
p237 Meanwhile, Gilbert is in a dark place both literally and figuratively. Driving off Serge is not enough for evil dude (whose name is Adam we finally learn). Turns out Adam's orders are to do whatever he wants to Gilbert so that Gilbert wants to go home, i.e. back to Auguste, that sick bastard. And what Adam wants is to be really, really mean.
p239 Seriously. There are some dark scenes in this book.
p244 Sebastian finally has the chance to win Serge's love after so long in the shadows.
p247 But Gilbert blows it off: "Serge still loves me." Pascal is gobsmacked. Seriously. Great face.
p248 And now I know Long Hair's names is Jules. I'm sure we learned it before, but it's been such a long time since we saw him that I forgot.
p249 Rosemarine pretends outrage at the things Auguste is ordering him to do. But he's always hated Gilbert, hasn't he?
p250 Every time anyone is sleepy or worn out, it's "anemia". Was this really the go-to problem or is it her own personal catchall?
p253 Serge confesses to Carl that he slept with Gilbert. Carl is so shocked he emits lightning.
p254 And is driven to drink violently. He is practically knocking himself out with that bottle.
p258 Carl overhears the baddies casually chatting about how they threatened Serge so they could ruin Gilbert. What will he do with this info?! He thinks Serge and Gilbert doing it is a sin, but Serge is his friend.
p266 Serge and Gilbert have it out about Gilbert sleeping with those guys, but Gilbert can't tell Serge the truth.
p268 So I guess Gilbert meanly laughing coldly and telling Serge that it's ridiculous to think he ever loved him is part of the plan to protect him from Adam? Too cruel though.
p269 O noes! Here comes evil Adam!
p272 But Serge rides safely off after telling Gilbert to never talk to him again. And tears drip down Gilbert face. Poor Gilbert. Poor Serge. They are trapped by their pasts.
p276 But time to get back to the fact that Carl knows Gilbert is with Adam to protect Serge. What to do, what to do. If he says nothing, Serge will stay all smiles like he is now.
p278 Shocking reminder: it was Carl who put Serge in Gilbert's room in the first place! Their forbidden love is all his fault!
p280 Gilbert has turned into a total creeper, sniffing Serge's clothes when Serge is not in their room.
p284 Long Hair (why can't I remember his name?) rescues Gilbert naked in the forest traumatized after another afternoon with Adam.
p289 Gilbert begs Long Hair for help saying he'll do anything, so of course Long Hair takes that as an invite to get it on.
p292 Of course, Piano Teacher sees that it is love that has caused Serge to grow like this. How does everyone understand everyone's feelings like this when no one ever talks about feelings (except for dramatic confessions of love)? This comes right after Long Hair has taken a couple pages to ponder how Gilbert loves Serge from the bottom of his soul.
p295 Carl meets Serge on his way to get out of sharing a room with Gilbert. He has to tell him the truth! (There's also the question of why no one seems to think they could tell a teacher or someone that Adam is a monster and a rapist. I mean, I know that principal guy or whoever was sleeping with Gilbert or something, but Watts and the piano teacher seem like good guys and the kids trust them with other stuff.)
p296 Shattered glass as Serge learns that Gilbert never betrayed him.
p298 And now Serge is outraged that he was laughing and having fun when Gilbert was suffering all this time.
p299 "If I had only believed in him!"
p300 Naturally, Serge finds Gilbert half-naked, picking flowers in a meadow.
p303 But Gilbert runs away from apologetic Serge and now the baddies have him. O noes!
p305 What really cracks me up in all this Adam drama is that he's threatening everyone with a slingshot. I know they can be dangerous, but it's so not menacing. This is Dennis the Menace level of menacing.
Also, it's been awhile since anyone made a racial slur about Serge. Way to bring it, super villain Adam!
p306 Ooh, Serge gets a slinged shot right in the gut. Ow. And then they proceed to beat the crap out of him. Again, the beating by four big guys seems much more threatening than the slingshot.
p308–9 The spread here of Serge getting clobbered is laid out so well.
p312 So Gilbert being Gilbert, rather than run in and get someone to come help, he throws a rock through Watts's window to get them to come out.
p315 Finally, someone's talking some sense! Carl urges completely battered Serge to tell Watts the deal. And Pascal points out that if he does the relationship between Serge and Gilbert will come out, and they'll be in super trouble. I guess that is a good reason not to say anything. It's for love.
p317 Anemia rears its head again. Watts tries to get Serge to tell him who beat him like this, but of course, Serge keeps his mouth shut because he thinks he deserved it for not believing in Gilbert. Dang.
p320 And we end on a note that guarantees the drama will continue unabated and unashamed in the next two books. I'm betting the Adam thing gets cleared up middle of the next book to set up for the super showdown with Auguste, and the inevitable running away together of Serge and Gilbert that have to happen in Book Ten.

Although I've read that Amy Winehouse's Frank album was her best work, I never bought it; I got the Back to Black album, in which she cashes in on her notoriety.
My theory about her death is that her mum and dad had lost her when they divorced.
It broke her heart.
It was just a question of time before the issues that the breakup caused would become toxic.
Plus, she'd revealed warning signs after Frank i.e. she didn't like it, mainly cos she felt like she was manufacturing product for the label.
Also, her management team were not always looking out for her best interest.
Their reaction to the UN drug czar's comment a few years ago cinched that.
The lady made unwise choices because of anger issues stemming from her parents' divorce which she refused to get help for, even when offered help.

Movie reviews, music, pictures, the occasional rant. You know, the fun things in life.
Monday, October 27, 2008
Okay, I just had to blog about it
As everyone should now be aware, I am in LOVE with Papa Roach. I love their music, the band members, pretty much everything. However, I was a little disappointed in their last album, Paramore Sessions. It was good, really good, it just wasn't what I was waiting for. These guys totally made it up though with their first single off their new album, which is due in early 2009, Hollywood Whore. The music was bangin', the video was pretty cool, and I've finally forgiven Tony Palermo for taking Dave's place as the drummer. Watch the video here, and be amazed by the power of rock n' roll, Papa Roach style!!

For a man to truly understand rejection,
he must first be ignored by a cat.

Good Morning!
One day down, four more to go till the weekend:-p Actually, in my case... three more days till my weekend begins. Yes, I will soon be in a flight to PARIS!!!! I can't wait! This will be my first time in Paris and I'm so excited. Be sure to expect lots of food pictures.
Yesterday, was a big smoothie day for me. I started my day off with a smoothie consisting of frozen raspberries, unsweetened vanilla almond milk and almond butter. I don't know why but I was craving a smoothie for the morning. So, I whipped this concoction up and it kept me full till lunch time.
Lunch was a delicious. My coworkers and I went out for sushi to celebrate my managers birthday. I ordered the chicken negimaki box. Delicious and filling. Six pieces of negimaki, 3 avocado rolls, 2 shumai, miso soup and salad. Sadly, there is no picture because I ate it all too quickly.
Between lunch and dinner I managed to get a quick workout in. I did 20 minutes on an elliptical looking machine, followed by 15 minutes of abs and weights. I also attempted a pull up. Unfortunately, I did not stay up :-p
By the time I made it home I had only one thing on my mind. I wanted to have a smoothie. I didn't care if there was a cold, wintry mix going on. I just wanted to down a large, creamy smoothie. So, before I even showered I whipped out my magic bullet and made a raspberry almond smoothie. I added a big more almond butter since this was practically replacing my dinner. Ah, once again a craving was satisfied :-)
How was your day yesterday?

Teton Dam marathon!!!
Wow! I did it! All my hard work paid off! It was truly an amazing experience. I can't wait to do it again. The finish line was an emotional thing for both Alex and I. Man i have the best husband in the world! Alex got a little teary eyed because he has watched me prepare so much for this. He also knows that i'm not a natural runner by any means. We reminisced yesterday about how i could barely run a mile at the beginning of the year and how my face would be bright red when i was done. ha ha! But Alex has been such a wonderful support this past 3 months of training. He really has cheered me on the whole time! I'm so grateful for him.

Well, another Pitchfork Music Festival has come in gone. This was my fourth time attending the fest and it has stayed consistently fun. As always, the crowd wasn't unmanageable and my enjoyment of the fest was helped with cooler weather and no rain.
I also got to see a lot of great performances. Thurston Moore was loud, noisy, and amazing. Angel Olsen was a real treat, but I think her backup singer was more excited to be there than she was. George Clinton was a missed opportunity because I left after 15 minutes due to poor sound that was later corrected. PJ Harvey's performance, while good, seemed out of place at an outdoor music fest in the daytime. The Feelies were furious with George Clinton for bleeding into their set time which affected their playing. And I made happy memories watching LCD Soundsystem with Carolyn. All in all, it was a great time.
Though, one performance stood above the rest. If you had asked me prior to the fest who was the one act I absolutely had to see, the answer would come fast and easily: A Tribe Called Quest.
I had been a fan of the group since college. While I had discovered a few of the other artists during the time, A Tribe Called Quest preceded all of them. Plus, I have listened to them more than the others. So, when they were announced as the headliner, I knew I had to make time to see them.
As I made my way to a spot left of the sound booth about 45 minutes before the show, a lot of questions were coming to mind. This was the group's first festival performance since the death of Phife Dawg last year. They had performed on Saturday Night Live since his death, but that was in a more controlled setting. This wasn't television. This was a full-length concert performance in front of thousands of people. And everyone, including me, was wondering "What about Phife Dawg?"
I was talking with my friends about the possibilities. Perhaps the others were just going to rap Phife Dawg's rhymes. Or maybe they were going to bring out a guest or a slew of guests throughout the tour to substitute. We even joked about bringing out a hologram like what happened with Tupac a few years prior. W when the lights dimmed and the show commenced, we got our answer.
Q-yip, Jarobi, and Ali Shaheed Muhammad were present and joined with guest MC Consequence. However, while there were three MCs, there were four microphones on stage. One of them (I cannot remember who) announced that they were going to leave the mic open for in memory of Phife Dawg. This was a touching gesture to include a lost founding member who could never be replaced. However, the inclusion of the microphone was more than just symbolic.
After a few songs into the set, the group gave Phife Dawg the mic. When this happened, the group would step away and a single spotlight would shine on the empty mic as the studio vocals of Phife's solos would play. It was completely mesmerizing scene. A voice thundered through the audience, but no one was behind the mic. The experience was captivating and turned what could've been a standard tribute into someone more engaging and meaningful.
This scene happened a few times, but none were as impactful as when "Butter" played. A cut from the group's second studio album The Low End Theory, this performance of "Butter" represented one of the best tributes I had ever seen. The other members stepped to the side of the stage. Nearly all the lights came down except for the one spotlight illuminating the empty mic. Muhammed then played an acapella version of Phife Dawg's verse of "Butter" which had seen become a career-defining song for the group. When the verse was over, the rest joined in as a picture of the group was projected on the background. The entire performance was touching as Q-Tip turned away from the audience and stared into Phife's eyes as he rapped.
What could have easily been a phoned-in performance turned into something much more. And frankly, I wouldn't expect any less of from A Tribe Called Quest. They have, for nearly 30 years, been stellar performers and impeccable showmen. The professionalism and empathy conveyed in Saturday's headlining performance will be one for the music history books.

Then we have your sister. You love your sister, and are around her a lot, so of course she'll show up in your dreams. That you our flying up high in the glider signifies how happy you are when she is around. The lines signify something (or someone) that is holding you back mentally. It may be your parents, since it's at home. Or, it could be your worried that that house sitting lady will keep you from doing something, or it could be your dog (hence the leashes). Also, the bizarre exercise machine part reminds me of those unelectric treadmills in China.
Actually, I just realized that by glider, you may mean bench or something, because your families speech patterns are different than mine. The jewelry is meant to signify romantic interest, and you aren't sure why or if you have is, and, regardless, you want to get rid of it. The tackle-box shows that the jewelry came with friendship (fishing is outdoorsie, and you associate friendship with that sort of thing), and because you were able to give the jewelry back and keep the tackle-box, you have been able to maintain your friendship despite some initial awkwardness. However, it hasn't totally left your mind, hence the valentines. I'm a stand-in for you, here, where you think that any romantic intentions are a sign of desperation. Also, because Lysander is (ahem) unexperienced, his valentine is like that of a child. However, it's still interesting and unique (every page is different)
Us gossiping about guys is because that is what we do. We did it last week, and I'm sure it'll happen again. Guys are just so interesting to talk about. Did dream me have any good gossip?
I'd already told you about having first day of school dreams, and you probably do think about the first day of school a little bit (at least subconsciously). The not knowing which room appears to be a common theme, since I've had that too. And THAT'S MY PHYSICS CLASS. WHY DID YOUR DREAM SELF NOT JUST GO TO CLASS WITH ME???? You worried that your desire to be prompt and do well in school will interfere with your ability to be a good person. You also think you might miss a chance to help if you don't think it all the way through. I associate trains with the school year, but I don't know if you do. This also sounds a lot like the train in the third Harry Potter video game. You're jealous of Tawny and Benny, but in the end, you know Tawny, and you know it won't be problem.
love, tea

clap clap clap clap clap!!!! (I don't really know how to make a clapping noise on the computer) that was a really good interpretation....wayyyy better than this questionnaire thingy that (I don't know his nickname but he's the one who cheated for US) sent me. (I guess we're on good standing because he still sends me this stuff, although it wasn't just to me, it was also to a bunch of other people from US and school) ANYWAY, I was expecting one of those fun surveys where you had to put in numbers and it would know your birthday or age or something. This one was sooo lame. You had to put in order animals and colors and stuff and then at the end it had really generic info about me, like you MAY feel compassion towards this person, or you may not... I guess this really doesn't have much to do with jackie's dream, oh well. I tried to do an interpretation but it wasn't that funny so I thought I'd spare y'all...
I'll send you the questionnaire if you want...doing just it doesn't take too long but once I get started doing online surveys, I never stop!! already I've taken a "street IQ test" (scored low, can't you just see me as a gangster though?) a harry potter character quiz (voldy) and a "would I pass the citizenship test" (yes, they assumed I was a recent immigrant...)

Just because the Proofreader is behind the wheel of his car doing 85 m.p.h. on the highway doesn't mean he's not on the lookout for printed mistakes. Know that he risked life, limb and a traffic ticket to bring you this holiday-themed mistake.
Notice that Christmas was erroneously spelled "Chirstmas" by the data entry guy at Sirius XM who enters song titles into its database. If Christmas was too long a word or presented too much of a potential for typos, maybe he should've gone with the famous and shorter Xmas variant.
The song playing was The Beach Boys' version of "I'll Be Home For Christmas" and please be assured that the arrangement of this Christmas classic was every bit as bad (if not worse) than you'd expect The Beach Boys to have made it. Not only was it a mistake to have typed the title the way it was typed, but it was a mistake for someone to have ever made a recording of The Beach Boys' version and another mistake for someone to have played it.
Earlier this year, Sirius XM was teetering on the verge of bankruptcy, leaving the company, evidently, unable to afford competent proofreaders.
The Proofreader wishes everyone a Happy New Year! He'll see you in 2010 with more printed mistakes that never should've been made.

BOCA RATON, Fla. – Delaney Clesen and Gabrielle Dischler are the first Florida Atlantic University beach volleyball players to earn post-season honors as the duo were named Honorable Mention All-Americans by the American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA).
Last fall, Clesen and Dischler advanced to the Gold bracket finals at the Queen of the Beach Tournament. The pair was FAU's winningest tandem in the spring, ending the year with 18 dual match victories, including their first nine of the season.
Among their wins were victories over nationally ranked opponents Georgia State and Stetson.
"Delaney and Gabrielle came to practice to get better every day," said Capri Grotowski, FAU head beach volleyball coach. "They got very comfortable with being uncomfortable and I think this is just the beginning. They are proof that hard work pays off. It was a pleasure and honor getting to work with them. I'm very proud of those two."
The pair were one of just two teams to be named Honorable Mention.

So today was strictly a riding day. I headed to the Woodlot early and made my way up to Krazy Karpenter to start my ride. On my way up, I ran into Cory and a friend of his that had already done a run down the hill and were on their way up again to hit Snakes and then home. We talked for a bit and I continued my way up the hill.
There had just been a light dusting of snow at the top of the mountain so it was really quiet and serene. I geared up and started riding Karpenter, but the very first drop off the plank was not rideable at all. There was snow and ice all over it but worst of all, there was a big fallen tree across the stunt. I made my way down the trail, but there was so many freshly fallen trees that it was almost not even worth trying to ride the trail.
Once I got to the bottom of the trail I headed back up and hit Tsuga. It was in really good shape and was flowing really well. I then hooked up with Snakes and Ladders which was an absolute blast especially the berm to bridge to jump……sweet!! The Boa Bridge was really neat to ride across as the curves mess with your eyes but it is dead straight. I then hit Quick Hit and it is in pretty good shape considering I have not touched it for more than 6 months. And then it was Shotgun and home. A good ride overall.
