yamamanamaThe right is fighting battles over cartoon rats getting married but it’s a losing battle.
There was a Mr. Ratburn sign at Pride.
A woman with mesopelagic blue hair in braids had the Winged Victory of Samo-Whatsit, but not in the skies over Flanders waving a flaming sword and dancing the hootchy-coo, and on her other arm, flowers. A woman had a d20 and at its core a balance.
Eddie says it looks like him on a good day and he’s impressed that I depicted his mole. Sam was wearing rings but I drew her near the bottom of the page but I tried to get her hands in anyway. A woman had a tattoo of a spaceship flying towards a supernova or bright star (or maybe away from) and there were flying saucers around it. Her hair is very short and half-dark half-blonde.
Someone had the same idea I did, that is to say, buy Amnesty for 8 dollars because the chances grow ever higher that you won't be able to buy it new without using Amazon. I saw a Richard Grant novel and got excited only to find out it was a trade paperback edition of Views from the Oldest House. They also had The Vorrh, which is equally annoying. I mean, I hope they find a good home. Break out of the mindset that all the good stuff is self-published dreck like the 43rd book in Pam Uphoff’s series.
There were two books in Czech or Slovak. I’m not sure which. I think Slovak because it had the letter Ľ, pronounced like the Hungarian ly. It looked like they were translations.
A woman had jellyfish tattooed on one arm, a Lovecraftian mer-creature on the other.
A woman was draped in rainbow flags and had a sunset prism of hair and had a sparkly green backpack and a tattoo on her thigh with eight spokes and I got a sense of déjà vu.
Laura, Claire, Miranda, and Bekka of the Mladost Folk Ensemble did some Slavic dances, a participatory Turkish dance in which you stop to clap five times but it's disorienting because there is clapping in the music before the dancers clap, and did four American dances to conclude.
Āndhra pradēś is a Telugu-speaking state in the south of India. I believe a chunk broke off to become Telaṅgāṇa.
The vocalist (on a recording) seemed to be using his voice as a percussion instrument. He said one of the songs was in Sanskrit and referred to Rādhā, the consort of Kṛṣṇa. Indian dance is as much about subtle facial expressions and hand signals as it is about rhythm and movement.
Pasy Naay Leer Dance is Senegalese although they walked like Egyptians. It sounds Wolof to me.
A few people danced to live music, an accordion for English Morris dancing and a fiddle and keyboard for Irish stepdancing and a bunch of drums for West African dance.
A woman had a tattoo of a sun on one shoulder and a moon and clouds on the other and two peacocks drinking from an amphora on her back that I thought were cranes because their tails were hidden by her shirt. She had twenty earrings per ear.
Dances from Pontus are more martial and more rhythmic than other Greek dances. That’s where Mithridates was from.
Someone had a tattoo with the name George and a red balloon. I asked him if it was a reference to It and he said that it isn’t.
I did try the vada pav and it was quite good. You get two of them. Take a potato fritter, put it on a hamburger bun, get a bit of tamarind and mint chutney and some garlicy stuff.
Nick, Ashlee, Mackenzie, and Michelle were all wearing flower garlands. Ashlee asked me if I go through the entire book in a week and that’s never happened. I looked at the first few pages and because there are a bunch of people in winter clothing, I assume I started it in February or Smarch or maybe early April but I’m not sure.
Chelsea has a tattoo of the consellation Pisces and Sabrina has a tattoo of Scorpius. Pisces, despite being every bit as dim as Cancer and nowhere near as interesting, is easy to identify. Lexi has a tattoo but not a constellation tattoo. On the other hand, elsewhere was a woman with what looked like the constellation Ursa Major some 1 million years ago, but I wasn't in a position to ask.
Sabrina’s pendant is a rainbow tree with a crystal as the taproot.
I told them to just imagine they’re all rainbows.
A woman in the nearby seat had a safety pin on her shirt because she still believes in just and lost causes.
A woman had musical notation maybe because she’s intrigued by CodePink’s peace trip to Iran although it doesn’t include Hamadan, the greatest of all Iranian cities, but it does include Isfahan, the Colorado Springs of Asia, but doesn’t want the secret police coming near her, and two of the creepiest looking drama masks ever. A woman had floral tattoos. A woman had 自豪 tattooed on her shoulder, some stars on her other shoulder, on her back, the unfinished Death Star II and a Rebel ship that I think is an A-Wing but I can not remember. She’s right: it does mean pride. It’s more a sense of accomplishment than anything but there isn’t a one-to-one translation. I told her that Chinese has no word for uncle, for instance. Chinese has a bunch of words that all translate to uncle but take into account which side of the family they’re on, their ages, and whether they are relatives by blood or by marriage. A woman had a tattoo of a snake. A woman had a tattoo of a a tree with some words forming a circle with the branches.
burning question: why does Frog have catfish whiskers?
