That was not as successful a hunting mission as I would have preferred.

[livejournal.com profile] teinedreugan and I went up to Salem to look for Evolutionary Witchcraft and failed to find it. Did find Twelve Wild Swans, which I've never actually seen in a store before, so I have something from it aside from a tremendous headache and a nervous contemplation of my ear canals. (I was getting that peculiar earache feeling that translates roughly to "If you stay out in this wind much longer, you're going to get an ear infection.")

It's typical for me, isn't it? I start doing something moderately mainstream and get back into religious witchcraft, only I'm winding up with something that nobody outside of the little corner of the 'net I lurk in has heard of. :P All of the bookstores in Salem were all very, "No, I'm sorry, I've never heard of it, we haven't gotten much stock in since Samhain anyway . . ." Moomph.

And they all had Circle of Isis, which I found in the first one of them last time and didn't pick up and didn't find in any of the others. Sheesh.

May wind up writing the religious-maunderings post (one of the things I've been meaning to write for a while) later. It's on my mind and stuff.

Completely randomly:
    Whitney says, ". . . that was really disturbing."
    Tesla [[livejournal.com profile] oneironaut] says, "Disturbing?"
    Whitney says, "There was a brief shot of some Bravo promo for something called 'Manhunt' or something like it. About twenty guys, I guess, all of them in identical white shorts. And -all of them- the -exact same- shade of tanned-beige. No ethnic variation whatsoever."
    Tesla says, "Eeegh."
    Whitney says, "Yeah, exactly."

I actually found Thorn's book in Borders down here in LA. You may have better luck turning to the Giant Chain Store in this case.

Not much in it appealed to me, but I'm fairly sure Feri isn't on the list for me to actively study at any point. :)

Yeah, I snagged my copy at our local Bookstar -- there were several copies. Which surprised me a lot, actually, since they're not usually so on top of the new stuff.

And it's gooooood. If you like Feri stuff. (And I do.)

If you're comfortable with mail-order for it, Powell's seems to have it (http://www.powells.com/s?kw=%22Evolutionary+Witchcraft%22).

Do you know and/or care about this workshop and booksigning? (http://www.livejournal.com/users/queenofhalves/449694.html?mode=reply)

Re: feri thingy


Aha.

Is that the genesis of your search for this particular book, or is the workshop's timing serendipitous?

20 Hot dudes

Although I do agree with the sentiment that all people looking the same is disturbing, (in fact the whole sameness of body structure of most models is disturbing) after actually watching the show, I would disagree that all the guys have the same skin tone and are the same ethnicity.

Although there aren't any really pale white guys or any really dark skinned black guys there is significant variation between them in that department. Especially after a few episodes when they didn't get a chance to fake and bake anymore.

Yeah- sorry, I know its shallow, I shouldn't even be watching the show at all, but seeing 20 hot dudes on TV is kind of appealing, and listening to them talk is downright hilarious.

So far my favorite line is:
"Dude, you look like a crazy cross between Mick Jagger and John Kerry."

Okay, Bad Diana going away now.

. . . so a vampire who can swallow an entire microphone?

OMG!!

To where should I send the bill for a new monitor? *wipes Pepsi off mine*

BTW, I wish I had remembered that you were looking for Twelve Wild Swans, you could have had mine.

Re: 20 Hot dudes


Yeah, I think I remember the commercial, and yeah there's something kind of 1984 about it... But the show is totally not like that. ("Like, totally!":) These boys get into their individual "looks" so much that it's hilarious. The Mick Kerry dude had this really interesting look, and he was REALLY photogenic. If you saw him in real life you'd think he looked like an alien. He was really skinny with crazy young John Kerry hair swept back to the side, big brown eyes and yeah he did have a big mouth. Then there is this one dude who's just too short, and keeps pulling at your heartstrings with his tales of being an awesome model, but just not being tall enough.

The best comments come from the professional models who critique the guys and their pictures. They look at the picture of the dude half naked holding a roll of toilet paper and say stuff like, "He's not really into it..." I'm like, how can you tell? He makes the same pouty face that the rest of them do.

I guess it's just so funny to me because these guys take modeling *so seriously* and I just can't take it seriously.

I really need to stop watching that show....I'm probably losing brain cells by the minute...
