Title: "Our people, I fear, are drifting too far away from the classics…": singing race, class, and gender in Philadelphia, the Mendelssohn Chorus, 1912-1914
Abstract: The Mendelssohn Chorus burned brightly but briefly. Founded in 1912, it was an amateur male-voice choir whose members were black clerks of the Philadelphia Post Office. The chorus performed three annual concerts to great local acclaim, but disappeared from the archive after its third concert in 1914. Although it existed for only three years, the traces of the Mendelssohn Chorus in the archive illuminate some of the complex negotiations that took place when European art music was listened to and performed by African Americans in the early twentieth century. In this paper, which is based on archival work in the black-run newspaper the Philadelphia Tribune and at the Library Company of Philadelphia, I argue that the Mendelssohn Chorus illustrates how middle-class black Philadelphians were performing broader issues of class, race, and gender through the performance of classical music, and in so doing, redefining dominant white ideas about what this music was, and who it was for.
The Mendelssohn Chorus was held to high standards by the Tribune's music editor, often through language that emphasized to its readers the importance of classical music to the race for cultural, community, and financial reasons. I look at the programs of the Mendelssohn Chorus to understand what was understood to be classical music, or "the classics," in 1910s Philadelphia, as well as the reception of the director's decision to program African American composers alongside European composers. Furthermore, the programs suggest how musical labor was gendered; a list of "patronesses" in one of the choir's concert programs demands attention to the way that gender roles operated within, and structured, black classical music-making in the early twentieth century. The Mendelssohn Chorus, therefore, is a fascinating site for exploring the importance and intricacies of amateur music within Philadelphia, how it was being discussed and used as a mode of racial uplift, and as part of the gendered practice of the politics of respectability.

20 March: Elaine HayesTitle: Queen of Bebop: The Musical Lives of Sarah Vaughan (Ecco, 2017)
Abstract: Elaine Hayes discusses her recent book Queen of Bebop: The Musical Lives of Sarah Vaughan, which chronicles Vaughan's (1924-1990) journey from a church girl in Newark, New Jersey, to a big band vocalist; a bebop innovator to a pop starlet; and finally, an international jazz legend to a symphony orchestra diva. Elaine also discusses her journey from academic to author of a mainstream, popular biography. Focusing on the central myths surrounding Sarah Vaughan and her legacy, Elaine explores how she reconciled these two worlds—the "theory" of academia and the need to tell a good, old-fashioned story—in an effort to change how general audiences understood women in jazz and women as creative beings.
BIO: Elaine Hayes received her Ph.D. in musicology from the University of Pennsylvania in 2004.
3 April: David Samuels (New York University)
Title: Early Folk World: Searching for Humanity in 20th Century Industrial Modernity
Abstract: The twentieth century was witness to an ethical discourse about the scope of the human that took its cues from a discussion of how people should sound. The tones and timbres of vocal and instrumental music became key reference points in a dialogue about how to maintain one's humanity under the conditions of modern urban industrial capital. Three interlocked musical movements—historical performance, folk revivalism and world music—represent overlapping attempts to retrieve an ethical human existence within the contexts of the perceived dehumanizing processes of industrial modernity. The three share common arguments about the human body and the value of social participation as important locations in which to find continued expressions of humanity in the contemporary world.
February (Tuesday): Juan Castrillón (Penn)
KIRANIA (Long Clarinets), and PAMI KIRAMI (Long House) are two short film projects of Juan Castrillón's ongoing fieldwork. The first shows how a pair of long clarinets is made within an indigenous group at the Northwestern Amazon in Colombia, and the second film addresses the process of building a distinct place for music performance after 45 years of its absence. The multimodal process of making a film withoutsilencing fieldwork dynamics from the postproduction emerges as a vibrant platform where debates in ethnomusicology are called to acquire a creative role. A role in which indigenous and non-indigenous audiovisual perspectives assemble each other within cinematiccontours. From this light, films authored by ethnomusicologists come to represent their assumptions about the realities they study, rather than been documents acting in themselves as transparent glances to thelife of the people researchers study with. The presentation combines a lecture and workshop style in which Castrillón introduces and analyzes some sequences of the aforementioned films, along with the discussion about how film editing and narrative styles connect with the intellectual agenda of his dissertation.
Title: "I Am Delivert!": Vocalizing Black Men's Testimonies of Deliverance from Homosexuality in Pentecostal WorshipAbstract: In 1995, Grammy Award nominated gospel vocalist Pastor Daryl Coley consented to an interview with Gospel Today's editor Teresa Hairston for an article entitled, "The California-born gospel singer overcoming homosexuality and diabetes." It is the earliest music industry account of a gospel vocalist claiming to no longer be homosexual through spiritual "deliverance." Within historically Black Pentecostal churches that showcase gospel musicians, "deliverance" traditionally refers to a release from physical ailments and perceived spiritual afflictions such as diabetes or homosexuality. While deliverance characterizes various types of healing through spiritual work, many Black gospel music fans deploy the term in a gendered and sexualized manner, referring to a man's struggle to resist homosexuality. Moreover, the notion of deliverance is promoted through men's testimonies about becoming heterosexual with what they believe is God's help. Male vocalists' overrepresentation in these public accounts of spiritual "healing" from homosexuality reinscribe the stereotype within historically Black Pentecostal churches that to be involved in vocal music ministry is a queering act . Conversely, women's deliverance narratives are unlikely to be distributed due in part to the socio-cultural fixation on protecting established constructions of Black masculinity.
Expanding upon my 2016 research about the perceptions of Black male vocal participation as queer in Are All the Choir Directors Gay?: Black Men's Sexuality and Identity in Gospel Performance, this talk explores the sonic qualities of Black men's public renouncement of their gay identity through deliverance testimonies. In a culture where homosexuals are often regulated to a "don't ask, don't tell" social agreement, the testimonies of men delivered from homosexuality conform to what feminist writer Adrienne Rich called compulsory heterosexuality (1960). While deploying ethnomusicological, phonological, linguistic, critical race, and gender studies analysis, I examine these delivered believers' coded and textured performances of orality in Pentecostal worship: virtuosic singing, "speaking in other tongues," preaching, and preaching-singing. Educing from musician's narratives and recordings since Pastor Daryl Coley's self-disclosure, this talk observes the extent to which their accounts prompt (non-)verbal communication about what constitutes legitimate and sustained deliverance.
Title: "The Importance of Being from 'The Other Side': Music, Estrangement, and Border Studies in the 21st Century."Abstract: This lecture offers an assessment of the relevance of border studies in today's increasingly toxic political moment nationally and internationally. The presentation takes as point of departure Mexican songwriter Juan Gabriel's performance of diasporic self in the film Del otro lado del puente (1979) and the idea of being from "the other side" —which Mexicans and Mexican-Americans use both, when speaking of the land on "the other side" of the Rio Grande and as a synonym of "homosexuality"— to explore the relationship between the geographic borders of the nation-state and the imagined borders of heteronormativity. I suggest that asking what does it mean to look at oneself from the estranged perspective of the Other's side enables one to take Juan Gabriel's moralistic musical commentaries about Mexican-American culture —enunciated from the singer's perceived ambiguous masculinity— to speak about fading notions of fixed national, ethnic, and gender identities that the trans-border experience questions on an everyday basis. Furthermore, I propose this case study as an exploration of the potential of Viktor Shklovsky's notion of estrangement beyond the aesthetic concerns it originally entailed —as an expansion of aesthetic horizons— and into the sphere of everyday performance and action —as a tool to expose the flipside of normativity. In focusing on Juan Gabriel's performance successful queering of gender and unsuccessful queering of nationalism I also intend to address a problematic outcome of traditional border studies, the tendency to, as sociologist Pablo Vila suggests, construct the border subject "into a new privileged subject of history."

6 February (Tuesday), at 5:15: Olivia Bloechl (Univ. of Pittsburgh)
Title: The Politics of Glory: Angelic Citizenship and the Contemplative Chorus in Old Regime Opera.
Abstract: What can opera choruses tell us about historical imaginaries of publicness in non-democratic societies? In this talk I broach this question in the context of Old Regime France and its premier opera form, the tragédie en musique. Choruses in praise of authority figures are ubiquitous in the genre, and the convention of the glorifying chorus has long been taken as signaling the genre's ideological nature. While the tragédie and its onstage groups clearly offered an apologetics for the Bourbon monarchy, ideology critique alone cannot explain these choruses' most salient features or their striking longevity in serious French opera (from the 1670s through the Revolutionary period). As an alternative, I draw on Giorgio Agamben's archaeology of glory as a basis for a new understanding of what I call "contemplative choruses" of praise, celebration, and acclamation, as elaborating a doxological myth of citizenship modeled on the angels. Looking at examples from across the repertory, I propose contemplative singing as the particular vocation of the chorus in Old Regime opera, and an unexpected source of its politicality. While the tragédie's creators routinely put choruses to use in symbolic support of the monarchy, I argue that this political utility represents the genre's capture of an "inoperativity" proper to contemplative song. Inoperativity, I conclude, is the political core of opera's contemplative choruses, in which singing with others—and enjoying singing—opens a human potentiality beyond any governing purpose.BIO: Olivia Bloechl is Professor of Music at the University of Pittsburgh. She is the author of Native American Song at the Frontiers of Early Modern Music (Cambridge Univ. Press, 2008) and Opera and the Political Imaginary in Old Regime France (Univ. of Chicago Press, 2018), and co-editor (with Melanie Lowe and Jeffrey Kallberg) of Rethinking Difference in Music Scholarship (Cambridge Univ. Press, 2015). In addition to ongoing work on work on opera, particularly in France, current projects involve problems of music and vulnerability, the uses of song in American captivity narratives, and global music historiography.

Title: "Tunes and Chords"
9 FEBRUARY (FRIDAY) AT 4:30 (note time): NICOLA SCALDAFERRI (UNIV. OF MILAN), with documentary film screening.
This event is co-sponsored by the Center for Italian Studies, the Jewish Studies Program's Kutchin Seminar Series, and the Department of Music, all at the University of Pennsylvania.
Ethnomusicologist Nicola Scaldaferri (University of Milan) will present his documentary "Sacred Mountains: Abrahamic Religions and Musical Practices in the Mediterranean Area." The film includes segments on three religious pilgrimages involving sacred mountains: Israelite Samaritans praying on Mount Gerizim in the West Bank; Bektashi Sufis climbing Mount Tomorr in Albania; and the descent from the Holy Mountain by the Black Madonna in southern Italy. Prof. Scaldaferri will be present to introduce the film and lead a discussion.
Nicola Scaldaferri is Associate Professor in the Department of Cultural Heritage and Environment at the University of Milano, where he also co-founded and directs the Laboratory of Ethnomusicology and Visual Anthropology http://leavlab.com/ He has done extensive ethnomusicological research in Italy, Albania, Kosova, Ghana, and elsewhere, as well as research on electro-acoustic music. Prof. Scaldaferri received his PhD in Musicology from the University of Bologna and a degree in Composition from the Conservatory of Parma. In 2006 he was a Fulbright scholar at Harvard University.
14 November: Julie Napolin (The New School)
Title: "Narrative Acoustics"Abstract:
"If there is a space of thinking, either real or virtual, then within it there must also be sound, for all sound seeks its expression as vibration in the medium of space," writes Bill Viola. We think of narrative as being with "space" and, while we understand literature as being with a poetics and rhetoric, we do not ask after its acoustics. What, then, is narrative acoustics? In a triple gesture, it is the making of narrative space by sound, the virtual hearing of sounds in narrative and intertextual space, and the narrative of sonic change.
19 September: Naomi Waltham-Smith (University of Pennsylvania)
Book Talk: "Music and Belonging Between Revolution and Restoration" (Oxford University Press, 2017)
Penn's own Naomi Waltham-Smith will be discussing her newly-published book, "Music and Belonging Between Revolution and Restoration".
Talking about her recently published book, Naomi Waltham-Smith argues that a revolution—both music-theoretical and political—takes place where we least expect it: at the heart of the Austro-German canon in the music of Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven. Today she will discuss ten of the book's most provocative claims. Insofar as revolution is always also a matter of turning back again, a revolution in how we under musical listening is possible only be retrieving and radically transforming some of the most unimpeachable concepts in music theory and historiography.
Naomi Waltham-Smith is Assistant Professor of Music at the University of Pennsylvania. Her research sits at the threshold between music theory, recent European political philosophy, and sound studies. She is currently finishing a second book on The Sound of Biopolitics and working on a sound archive project entitled "Listening under global Trumpism" which will be hosted by the Slought Foundation.
3 October: Paula Matthusen (Wesleyan University)
Title: "Walks with Electronics: Recent Compositions, Collaborations, and Field Recordings"
Walks with Electronics discusses recent compositions and projects related to various field recording projects, from aqueducts of New York City and Rome to caves in Kentucky. The talk discusses very broadly the concept of sociality in field recording, through a series of complementary and differing ideas of walking.
10 October: Dominic Pettman (The New School)
Title: "Sonic Intimacy: Voice, Species, Technics"
In this talk, Dominic Pettman asks us who - or what - deserves to have a voice, beyond the human. Arguing that our ears are far too narrowly attuned to our own species, Pettman will gloss his new book, Sonic Intimacy, which explores four different types of voices: the cybernetic, the gendered, the creaturely, and the ecological. In doing so, he will demonstrate some of the ways in which intimacy is forged through the ear, perhaps even more than through any other sense, mode, or medium. The voice, then, is what creates intimacy, both fleeting and lasting, not only between people, but also between animals, machines, and even natural elements: those presumed not to have a voice in the first place. Taken together, the manifold, material, actual voices of the world, whether primarily natural or technological, are a complex cacophony that is desperately trying to tell us something about the rapidly failing health of the planet and its inhabitants. As Pettman cautions, we would to well to listen.
17 October: Maria Murphy/Shelley Zhang (PhD candidates, University of Pennsylvania)
Title: "Voicing the Clone: Laurie Anderson and Technologies of Reproduction"
Title: "Material Nostalgia for the Cultural Revolution Era: The Affective Practices of Revolutionary Music in Contemporary China"
7 November: Philip Gentry (University of Delaware)
Book Talk: What Will I Be: American Music and Cold War Identity. Oxford University Press, 2017.
In the wake of World War II, the cultural life of the United States underwent a massive transformation. At the heart of these changes during the early Cold War were the rise of the concept of identity and a reformulation of the country's political life. A revolution in music was taking place at the same time-a tumult of new musical styles and institutions that would lead to everything from the birth of rock 'n' roll to the new downtown experimental music scene. Together, these new cultural and musical trends came to define the era. In the search for new social affinities and modes of self-fashioning, music provided just the right tool. What Shall I Be follows the concept of identity as it developed alongside new post-war music making. Author Philip M. Gentry travels through four very different musical scenes: the R&B world of doo-wop pioneers the Orioles, the early film musicals of Doris Day, Asian American cabaret in San Francisco, and John Cage's infamous 4'33". The lives of musicians, composers, critics, and fans reveal how individuals negotiated the social changes sweeping the country in the initial days of the Cold War. As we are again swept up in a time of significant transformation, these early strategies help to inform the political and musical narratives of today.

TORONTO, Nov. 22 /CNW/ - Industrial Minerals Inc. - OTCBB: IDSM - (or "the Company") today announced it has engaged a placement agent (the "Agent") to conduct a brokered private placement of special warrants ("Special Warrants") to raise, on a best efforts agency basis, up to US $5.0 million. Each Special Warrant will, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances, be exercisable for no additional consideration for one common share plus one half of one common share purchase warrant, with each whole warrant entitling the holder to purchase one common share of the Company at an exercise price that is a premium to the offering price (such warrant exercise price to be determined in the context of the market prior to the closing of the offering) for a period of two years following the closing of the offering. The Agent has been granted an option to over-allot the private placement by up to 20% of the number of Special Warrants sold pursuant to the offering, such option being exercisable at any time up to 48 hours prior to the closing of the offering. The Agent will be paid a cash commission equal to 7% of the gross proceeds of the sale of each Special Warrant. In addition, the Agent will receive broker warrants to purchase such number of common shares of the Company as is equal to 7% of the number of the Special Warrants sold under the offering (including pursuant to the exercise of the Agent's option), with each broker warrant being exercisable for a period of 24 months following the closing at a price equal to the Special Warrant price. Closing of the private placement is scheduled to take place on or about December 20, 2007, and is subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions including the receipt of necessary regulatory approvals. All securities issued in connection with the private placement will be subject to resale restrictions under securities laws. The Company has agreed to use its best commercial efforts (i) in the United States, to complete, file and have become effective a registration statement that allows for the resale in the United States of certain of the securities issued pursuant to the offering, and (ii) in Canada, to prepare and file a preliminary long form prospectus and a (final) long form prospectus in order for the Company to become a reporting issuer or the equivalent in each Canadian province other than Quebec and qualifying the distribution of certain of the securities issued pursuant to the offering, in each case within 120 days of the closing of the offering. If these obligations have not been satisfied within 120 days of the closing of the offering, then the Company will issue to each purchaser of Special Warrants additional Special Warrants equal to 1% of the Special Warrants purchased by such purchaser for each month (or part thereof) during which such obligations have not been satisfied. Notwithstanding any failure by the Company to satisfy these obligations within 120 days of the closing of the offering, the Company shall continue to use its best commercial efforts to satisfy such obligations as soon as possible thereafter. The funds from the private placement will be used for the building of the planned pilot plant, preparation of an application for a Canadian stock exchange listing, and for general corporate purposes (which may include further exploration and development of the Company's Bissett Creek Project). "We are extremely pleased that with the results from the preliminary assessment (NI 43-101), the Agent has taken special interest in our Bissett Creek graphite project," said David Wodar, President & CEO of Industrial Minerals Inc. "This funding will provide the necessary working capital for the building of our pilot plant, the expansion of our resources through more exploration on known areas of the remaining 90% of the property, and allow us to work toward a listing on a recognized Canadian stock exchange." The Special Warrants, the common shares and warrants issuable upon exercise of the Special Warrants, and the common shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants have not been registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction, and may not be offered or sold in the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, a U.S. person without registration under, or an applicable exemption from, the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and will be subject to resale restrictions in Canada. No stock exchange, securities commission or other regulatory authority has approved or disapproved the information contained herein. About Industrial Minerals Inc. ------------------------------ Industrial Minerals Inc. through its wholly owned subsidiary Industrial Minerals Canada Inc., headquartered in Oakville, Ontario, Canada, owns 100% of the undivided interest in the Bissett Creek Graphite patented mineral lease, containing a resource of 327,700 tonnes indicated plus 397,900 tonnes inferred of flake graphite based on approximately 10% of the patented mineral leases that have been drilled to date. The property is comprised of 28 claims covering an area of approximately 1,315 hectares (3,250 acres). It has been the subject of substantial earlier exploration drilling, trenching and metallurgical test work by KHD Canada, Kilborn Engineering, Pincock Alan and Holt and Cominco Engineering Services. The property is located in Maria Township in the Province of Ontario, Canada. The Company believes the property is one of the largest and purest natural flake graphite deposits in the world. Its goal is to become the leading producer of large flake crystalline graphite in North America and a prominent market participant internationally. Safe Harbor Statement --------------------- All statements contained herein, as well as oral statements that may be made by the Company or by officers, directors or employees of the Company acting on the Company's behalf that are not statements of historical fact, constitute "forward-looking statements" and are made pursuant to the Safe-Harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. In addition, estimates of mineral reserves and resources may constitute forward looking statements to the extent they involve estimates of the mineralization that will be encountered if the property is developed. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause the actual results of the company to be materially different from the historical results or from any future results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties are outlined in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for 2006 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. There can be no assurance that future developments affecting the Company will be those anticipated by management or set forth in this news release. The Company is not obligated, and assumes no obligation, to revise or update any forward-looking statements in order to reflect events or circumstances that may arise after the date of this news release. Information Concerning Mineralization and Resources --------------------------------------------------- All mineral resources have been estimated in accordance with the definition standards on mineral resources and mineral reserves of the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum referred to in National Instrument 43-101, commonly referred to as NI 43-101. U.S. reporting requirements for disclosure of mineral properties are governed by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Industry Guide 7. Canadian and Guide 7 standards are substantially different. This press release uses the terms "indicated" and "inferred" resources. We advise investors that while those terms are recognized and required by Canadian regulations, the SEC does not recognize them. Inferred mineral resources are considered too speculative geologically to have economic considerations applied to them that enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves.

Have you ever been driving home from work when the sun is setting and you manage to catch a glimpse of it in a break in the trees? You can see the blue sky above you beginning to give way to those beautiful colors, everything has that awesome golden glow from the low sun. You drive a bit further and the sunset is obstructed by trees, and houses, or buildings, but then there it is again! A break in the buildings showed you another quick look at it and you just know it's going to be a good one. Finally, maybe the highway goes through a rural area where the land is flat and farmed or you've driven around a corner and are now driving straight into it, but there..there it is. Everything is bathed in golden light; the sun is a warm bright reddish- orange, just beginning to sink in to the earth. The sky, which at this point makes you understand why it's called the heavens, is red, pink, purple, orange, yellow and blue. How is it possible that this same sky, that brings rain, and storms, and tornadoes can also bring this breath taking display of beauty? It makes you want to pull over and sit on the hood of your car and just soak in the warm gold covering the earth.
At the church I recently began attending, we are just finishing up a study of Luke that started about two years ago. Today, the pastor talked about the very last paragraph, The Ascension of Christ. I have always wondered why Christ chose to go back up into heaven (not that I blame Him) and how the disciples felt about him leaving, so I was pleased to find this was the topic of the teaching. Essentially, Jesus was taken back up into heaven so that we could be closer to him because with him in his physical body on Earth, he could only be with the people who shared his geographical location. But, because he was taken back into heaven into his rightful position as the King, he was able to send the Holy Spirit who continued to do his work in those who loved him. The beauty of Jesus' absence, is that it made way for his deep spiritual presence. He didn't leave as I previously felt and thought, he did the opposite and became more available. It says in Luke 50-53, "When he led them out to the edge of Bethany, he lifted up his hands and blessed them. While he was blessing them, he left them and was taken up into heaven. Then they worshiped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy. And they stayed continually at the temple, praising God." What struck me about this passage was that when Jesus leaves, no one grieves. Instead, they are completely filled with joy. The pastor teaching today talked about this and said it was because for the first time, the disciples were seeing Jesus for who he really was. The preparation, the teaching, everything was over. The man who was to be the Son of God had come, did everything he said he would do and more, and now they watched him ascend to heaven. It's like they spent all that time during their walk with him catching glimpses of who Jesus said he was, only to lose the view. Then, they finally turned a corner and broke out of the buildings and there he was, in all of his glorious display, Jesus. Exactly who he always said he was going to be but now,their eyes and hearts were completely open and he was blessing them. I bet the moment Jesus rose up felt like they had spent all day in a blazing sun. They knew that when the day was over and the sun set, they would have relief. It takes so long, but when the sun finally begins to fall and the sky transforms nobody remembers how uncomfortable the sun was. All they can do is stop, look at the beauty, and be joyful in the moment.
I feel like this is kind of how my walk with Jesus is. Not that I've had the honor of having my eyes fully opened to exactly who He is but more in the glimpses part. I go through life and things are good, but then I catch a glimpse and a whole new realm of 'good' is found. I walk through life and things are tough, times when no matter how hard I try, I can't get my footing, and even if I could I wouldn't know what to do with it. But then, inevitably -because God's promise to us is true- I catch a glimpse and the struggles grow dim in the light of his hope. I find my footing and even though I still probably don't know what to do with it, I take the next step with a renewed confidence, a joyful heart and know that I'm on his path.
Living life between the glimpses can be hard. When times are good I think we find we lean more on our own understanding and think that we know what were doing, so by the time we catch a glimpse, we've gotten so far off track talking about all our blessings on Facebook, we realize that without the glimpse we would have soon found ourselves lost. And, in the hard times, we can get so beaten down with anxiety, debt, and struggle that we lose hope that we may ever catch another glimpse at all. These times are when we pray for direction and when a glimpse is everything we need, (I know I've had such low times where I would feel like I caught a glimpse purely because my debit card wasn't rejected). The fact is, is that no matter where we are in our lives or what season we're going/suffering through, He's there. He will always show up and give us a glimpse to give us direction, or hope, or those amazing blessings at the perfect time that not only renews our hearts, but gives us enough insight to keep going.

We all remember Aylmer, the talking turd monster from Frank Hentenlotters Brain Damage. A parasite that sings, dances, and eats human brains is, after all, a bit hard to forget. Guess what? It turns out he had a distant relative. Unlike our blue friend, however, this phallic little creep lives up to his description by hitching a ride in the uteri of unsuspecting women.
Rather, one woman in particular. Yanka presumably works as a lion tamers assistant in her husbands circus. Said husband, Lohman, happens to be a jealous, domineering prick. He must not be that great in the sack, either, because Yanka has a habit of flirting with (and eventually throwing herself at) any man who wanders along, including the guy in charge of delivering a new tiger shipped from Africa (dont get too attached to the tiger, because hes having stomach problems). Sometime during the night, Lohman finds his new acquisition torn open from the inside out (See?). Believing the grisly mutilation to be the work of a wild animal, the circus employees go to hunt down the guilty party. Meanwhile, something long and slimy finds its way into Yankas bedroom, and inserts itself between her legs.
A few days later, Yanka discovers that shes pregnant. Realizing that Lohman might one day abuse the child, she decides to pack up and run away. A month passes. Lohman tracks Yanka to a run down apartment, where he begs her to return to him. Instead, she goes nuts and stabs him with a kitchen knife. She is reluctant to kill him, but something threatens her under penalty of pain. She finally finishes the job, then drinks his blood. It turns out the blood is for the baby, who, through some sort of telepathy, orders Yanka to kill so it can grow. Having missed its chance at evolution centuries before, the Creature seeks to be born of a human woman so that it might return to the sea and continue its growth. From there on, Yanka and child go on a killing spree, seducing luckless men into being monster chow. Isnt motherhood a blessing?
What I love about this movie is that it never tries to take itself seriously. Unlike other films in the killer baby genre (The Unborn, Its Alive, etc), it never aspires to be anything more than it is a slightly disturbing, humorous but overall entertaining splatter fest.

This movie is awesome!
I remember watching it on the first night I moved into a friend's house back in December of 2002. I'd moved my couch and TV into the basement.
The basement was freezing cold. I'd covered myself up in a thick blanket and sat mesmerized watching it.
It usually goes by the alternate title of "The Evil Within".
The thing I remember most about it was the creature's voice. It's one you can't forget.
I can still hear that creature's voice saying, "I need to grow!"
There is no other film like it that I've ever seen.

I and my wife were on holiday in south-west USA and we were on car tour. That day we slept in Oakhurst, CA (we had just left our friend Yael Kassorlaon Lake Tahoe!). We waked up about at 7 am (10 in NY) and I turned on the TV. Immediately i told my wife (she was having a shower) "One of the twin tower is on fire!". Only after a few seconds i realized I couldn't see the other tower. Watching TV and listening the newsreaders (we are Ialians and cannot easily understand fast spoken english) we understood what was going on.
We were on car tour, our flight back to Italy was two weeks later, so the next part of the tour wasn't very troubled … but it was no longer the same as the first part!

And so, after the final paper, I started to fidget and was DYING to get outta college, so I ended up going out with Bee and Jack. We had lunch in Gurney, loitered around a few shops, at at around two something, it was to the hair salon, woohoo! :D
Initially, the plan was to get pink highlights, however the hairdresser told me that pink would last probably for two weeks only, and it'll cost me RM70. I've seen people with faded hair and know that the outcome will be...weird, so I didnt think it was worth the money.
And so this was the final outcome of our little trip to hair salon:
Bee ------> purple highlights at her side bangs. (PS: Its cool ok Bee? Not ugly. If you don't like, cut it out and I'll stick it on my head. XD)
Jack ------> dyed his hair a darker shade of brown to cover up his last failed dye job and had a haircut. The hairdresser even waxed his hair for him. I have to admit, he certainly looked better. :D
Me ------> I dyed the front of my hair....red.
I'm gonna paint the town red, ba-beh! ;P
PS: Good luck to Patsy who will be leaving today! I will miss you! :)

And the gorgeous Anne Hathaway as the White Queen.
Alice In Wonderland had always been one of my favourite classics since young. The 1951 Disney cartoon adaptation was one of the cartoons that had to be played on the TV everyday in my house to make the 3 year old me less hyper and fidgety. So I have to admit, watching the cartoon again brings back old childhood memories. *perasan* Those were the days. sighs.
However there was one thing I HATED about the cartoon that it even evoked fear in me. The grinning pink and purple Cheshire Cat in the cartoon has always given me the creeps with those stupid yellow eyes, tacky pink and purple stripes and evil, evil grin. It was always TO THE CLOSET! for me whenever he appears in the movie. Gah! Stupid creature.
Yes you stupid dorky cat! You even gave me nightmares for YEARS!
Gosh I need systematic desensitisation.
Anyways, speaking of fairytales, I watched this movie called Penelope recently. It was not a really good movie, but for some reason I loved it. It is some sort of an urban fairytale about a girl who was cursed at a birth with a pig's snout who can only break the curse with...what else...true love. Typical. It features stars such as Christina Ricci, James McAvoy and Reese Witherspoon.
So for the girls looking for a modern time fairytale to drown in, try watching Penelope. It's not bad. :)
Oh, and girls, Mr Tumnas (James McAvoy) from the Chronicles of Narnia can actually be quite hot. ;)
PS: Don't you dare try to use my fear against me.
The world I know is falling...

I meant to write this sooner, but … that's the story of my life. Or at least of this blog. And I tend to get insecure when I don't know who my audience is. When it comes to Outlander … Well, I don't actually know any other Outlander viewers – or even readers, for that matter. I've never had a conversation with another viewer that extended beyond pleasantries. And the outside perception of Outlander is … frustratingly inaccurate: That it's a sappy guilty-pleasure bodice-ripper for shallow women, all superficial sex and wish-fulfillment and bla bla bla. You know, the stuff you should be a little bit ashamed of watching. I dunno, that's obviously one aspect of Outlander, but another aspect of Outlander is that it grounds the central love story in a world that is realistically dirty, unpleasant and cruel. And it takes unusual turns – and bold ones, I'd say. Really, that's one thing you have to respect about Outlander: this show isn't afraid to topple its whole premise over and change radically. This is especially true for Season 2. I'll proceed with spoilers. (And also some Hannibal spoilers.)
Season 2 was different from Season 1, and it looks like Season 3 will be even more different: Not only have Claire and Jamie been separated and she returned to the 20th century, but there was a 20 years time skip on top of that! This ought to change pretty much everything, including the dynamics between all the characters. Bold!
I thought the move from the Scotish Highlands to the Parisian upper crust in the first half of Season 2 was already a big change. I'm sure it did not help Outlander's accessibility, btw. Imagine newcomers tuning in, expecting some Highlanders frolicking through the heather, and instead getting people speaking French and discussing politics in fancy clothes! XD But on the show, Paris was always communicated to be an interlude, an interruption, and things would eventually get back to normal: they'd return to Scotland, they'd recover from their traumas, and live happily ever after.
The back half of Season 2 goes on to show that this happiness is short-lived as fuck. One complaint: I think I would have preferred to have one episode dedicated to Claire and Jamie settling in back at Lallybroch. To get a sense of time having passed and to establish the new/old normalcy. It'd also have been nice to see everyone reconnect with Jenny. And with Ian, I guess, but Jenny > Ian.
I had similar issues with Hannibal Season 3. The two story archs were separated by a time skip, but because the Red Dragon storyline immediately started with "Will gets drawn back into the bullshit he tried to leave behind" and has him go see Hannibal practically at once, the effect falls flat. As a viewer, you know rationally that there was a time skip and that they had not seen each other in years. But it doesn't feel that way because they hadn't even been apart for one episode. I feel like the effect is less problematic for Outlander – but I am hardly unbiased. There's a lot I disliked about Hannibal's third season. My main issue was that … yeah, it started to feel like Will/Hannibal was all that mattered, so skipping over their separation and throwing them back together at once is symptomatic. For Outlander, it mostly just felt that they had to cover a lot of time and a lot of plot, and this was a moment where the pacing stumbled. Of course, that sort of thing is always in the eye of the beholder. I think I prefer the slow pace of Season 1, but there may be people who like how quickly Season 2 zips along.
The second half of Season 2 returns to Scotland, which is both great and depressing, because we know from the start that the Battle of Culloden will eventually take place and put an end to all of this. The back half of the second season is just full of character deaths! And compare this to Season 1, which had very, very few character deaths. It's pretty impactful that over the course of just a few episodes, the main cast beomes so much smaller and sadder – every death is somehow really touching. :( Goddammit.
I'm sot of expecting everyone but Jamie to die at Culloden, which is tough because Murtagh is my favourite character of the bunch, haha. D: Seriously, I can't help but love characters like Murtagh. Quietly loyal, rough exterior but deeply caring? You don't really notice him at first, but after a few episodes you realize that he's always been there to be supportive and protective of Jamie. Murtagh was Team Jamie before it was cool. ;_;
With the season finale, Outlander becomes a much more complex show – structurally, I mean. Outlander started out with a very simple structure: just one POV character (Claire), telling just Claire's story in a straight-forward manner. Now, things get more complicated and there are new POV characters, and it's crossing the centuries. Time travel becomes more important, and it's revealed how intertwined the characters really are across the eras. That was fun. I liked Brianna's reaction when Claire told her the whole story: utter disbelief and anger – of course. To Brianna, it all just sounds like a pathetic wish-fulfilment fantasy – and this mirrors the prejudice that Outlander is facing in real life, as I talked about at the beginning of this post. It's amusingly meta. :3
Yup, I just decided that this post is long enough now. I'll just have to make new posts if I remember something I've forgotten to talk about.

Went to doc complaining of headaches. Doc advising might be sinus infection and gave cefalexin for the infection and acupan for headaches, also a new nasal spray for the sinuses. Took all three at once in the loo when got back to work. 2 acupan and 1 cefaxlexin. Forty-five mins later, felt clammy sweat coming on and quite faint. Really didn't think I would make it to the ladies and thought would collapse on the department floor. Unsure whether is the cefalexin or acupan maybe combination of both. At this time of writing unsure whether to continue with course or just put up with the headaches. Side effects for acupan appear to be the same, faint, sweats, shakes. Don't imagine is a good idea to take two drugs with same side effects. Thinking of going back to docs for something I'm more familiar with - amoxycillin - no side effects with that and maybe good old co-codamol!! It was certainly true for me that taking the medicines resulted in feeling more lousy than the initial complaint.
