“Monkeemaniacs for Moore” Video #1 : A Thought Experiment

To Donate:

Step 1: Log into your paypal account

Step 2: click “send money”

Step 3: Email is monkeemaniacs4moore@gmail.com

Step 4: Enter the amount and click “sending money to family or friends”

Step 5: Confirm and Send!

Again, this is just my own little cockamamie scheme for those who would like to donate to the relieve efforts in the name of something “bigger”. This appeal could not possibly be MORE unofficial, unauthorized, and unaffiliated with the Monkees singularly or collectively, Rhino, Friday Music, Warner Brothers, and any other corporate entity that I am not thinking of right now. If you’d rather not go through me (which I would understand), PLEASE consider going to the central Oklahoma American Red Cross website and donating, or one of the MANY other charitable organizations active in Moore. Charity Navigator is a great resource to avoid scams.

Thanks, from Moore, Oklahoma.

Hey guys! Please do make sure to check this out. Many families are reeling from damages incurred as a result of the recent destructive tornadoes in the Midwest, particularly in the town of Moore, Oklahoma. As a native of Moore, camille9847 has created a campaign to raise money to assist the victims of this natural disaster who are living in this town. Donate if you can, and either way, please reblog and help spread the word!

Rambling on: I’ve heard from a few people I should start a blog about my trip over...

dasistalles:

I’ve heard from a few people I should start a blog about my trip over here. The problem I have is, is that I don’t want to come off as negative or really critical of Indian culture. But right now, I’m still getting used to living over here - and frankly, most of what I have to say is not positive….

There are two really great options you can do:

1) Create that revisionist blog that talks about how great the experiences and the people are, ignoring the hard parts of adjusting, and vent those bits on tumblr in secret.

2) Create a blog that’s a little bit of both—the awesome things you’re getting to do and see, and the parts of adjusting that are not always the easiest. Admitting the hard parts of being over there does not have to mean you are only bashing the xperience and scaring people away. Think about if, when you were figuring out if you wanted to live in India to be with The Husband, if you had someone who offered an honest view at the good and the bad parts of the mission experience. Someone who really gave you an insight into both sides of the cloud. It might end up being that your blog helps someone else recognize that it’s okay that being in your position isn’t always 100% sunshine and kittens. It could end up being something that helps those who are struggling to adjust to living in India realize that they’re not alone. Because if everyone is always going on and on about how great and wonderful something is, without saying “this part’s really difficult”, you end up getting mad at yourself that you’re not immediately in love with the whole experience.

And I would happily help you get started, edit posts, etc. Just saying.

Nerdfighter Benedict? Or just failed Vulcan?

As far as I can tell, there are eight possibilities here. (I’ve spent a fair bit of time thinking about this.)

1. Benedict Cumberbatch is a hardcore nerdfighter and when Martin Freeman threw up a gang sign, Cumberbatch was like, “I have one of those.”

2. Cumberbatch, who obviously has a relationship with Star Trek, just naturally adapted the Vulcan sign (pulling in the thumbs, turning the palms inward, crossing the arms) in precisely the same way that I happened to adapt the Vulcan sign when I first made the nerdfighter sign in the halcyon days of 2007.

3. One of the interns on set who has gained the trust of Benedict Cumberbatch was like, “If you do your hands like this, the Internet will get really excited.” And so he did.

4. BBC, in their infinite wisdom, staged the entire photo and Cumberbatch was taught the nerdfighter sign (I MEAN LOOK AT THE PERFECTION OF HIS NERDFIGHTER SIGN! He seems so comfortable and confident in it, almost as if it is muscle memory, almost as if he has flashed it to his laptop screen on hundreds of occasions in the past, but I digress) and this photograph was staged to get people psyched for Sherlock, although what tiny segment of nerdfighteria is not already psyched for Sherlock? Also, if this is the case, who is Martin Freeman trying to advertise to? Residents of the West Side?

5. Benedict Cumberbatch has a relative or a friend who is a nerdfighter and so he is passingly familiar with nerdfighteria and liked what he has seen and wanted to make us all very happy.

6. The nerdfighter sign also happens to be the hand sign of some obscure English gang with which I am unfamiliar called like The East London Wanderers or The Slightly Intimidating Liverpudlians or whatever.

7. Nerdfighteria actually figures in the plot of the new season of Sherlock. Perhaps a nerdfighter has been (wrongly no doubt!) accused of a murder.

8. Benedict Cumberbatch was playing some kind of British version of Rock Paper Scissors against two invisible opponents, and he went double scissors (as any smart person would).

This is why John Green is the greatest human ever.

Not sure what’s pissing me off the most at the moment: the secret keeping, the radio silence, the not-getting-invited-to-shit, or the fact that it’s three days after finals and I’m still not done with this semester yet.

Doctor Who,

that episode was absolutely brilliant.

I’m sorry I ever doubted you in any circumstance.

I swear if Clara ends up being River/The Doctor’s daughter, I will hurl.

River being Amy and Rory’s daughter always felt cheap and disappointing. This is your last chance for redemption, Moffat.

Camping with the in-laws in a few weeks. I want to make a good impression, they’ve got everything under control except they need people to volunteer to cook breakfast,. I start to offer to help and then realize I can’t even make scrambled eggs.

So, I either volunteer, ruin breakfast, and his family thinks I’m a failure OR I don’t volunteer, breakfast is fine, and his family thinks I’m a horrible person for not helping out.

This will be fun.

You have options!

Look up (pinterest maybe?) easy breakfast recipes for camping. I’d start with looking up recipes you could use for cooking with kids. (they’ll be simple and easy and pretty much foolproof)
If there’s time between you getting back to the states and you going camping, you are welcome to practice cooking eggs or whatever with me.
You can volunteer to help with breakfast, because no one will think you are a failure. Odds are someone else will help
If they try and give you grief for breakfast, tell them that you live in India with an awesome husband who is doing God’s work, and you’re entitled to be a little bit flawed. Or you can call them sexist. You can’t argue or insult that person. You just can’t.
Don’t forget you are awesome and I love you and I can’t wait to see you again. :)
