tamouse down the friending meme:
Name: Elaine
Age: 43
Location: San Francisco Bay Peninsula
You, elsewhere: same at Live Journal
Run anything? (comms, websites, etc.): nothing relevant
Fandoms: I've never been particularly good at being a fan of anything and favorite is a word that makes my brain crawl with cognitive frustration. (I suppose i could be a fan of the company Evernote. I would like to work for them.)
Fave Characters: NA
Fave Famous People: NA
Ships: NA
Other media things you like: I escape to shows on Netflix: mysteries, British police procedurals (eg: Waking the Dead), science documentaries, "World's Toughest Fixes." Currently i'm out of relevant science fiction or fantasy shows.
In reading i escape to science fiction and fantasy, currently reading Baen's offerings and periodically trying to find Tiptree award winners as audiobooks or in the local used book store. I also periodically read SF by Quaker authors: two wins and a loss so far with that method.
During cross country flights i've been delighted by Laurie R. King's Sherlock Holmes + Mary Russell stories as read by Jenny Sterlin.
Next to my bed are the things i want to read: Jacques Barzun's From Dawn to Decadence, Lakoff's Where Mathematics Comes From, Abstract Comics: The Anthology. I have too many books at home but can't not buy sequential art books.
I have a daily & weekly circuit of independent and syndicated comics i read: Dicebox is FABULOUS, The Abominable Charles Christopher is magical, Namesake is wonderfully layered, Skin Deep is delightful.... I could go on.
Regularly read blogs: http://middlesavagery.wordpress.com/ (an archaeologist who works in the middle east as well as SecondLIfe), http://upanddowncalifornia.wordpress.com/ (Reliving the Whitney survey of California 150 years later) , http://www.technologyreview.com/blog/arxiv/ (a simple way to keep up on changes in physics), http://www.atoptics.co.uk/opod.htm (keep looking at the sky!)
Shows I'm currently trying to keep up on: No TV, Netflix streaming.
Fav movies: NA
Hobbies: crochet and other fiber arts, with some beading; photography; acrylic painting; container garden; fiddling with bits
Interests: physical sciences, natural sciences, cognitive science, Quakerism, Nordic traditions, mystical experiences and practices, iterative improvement methodologies, discernment practices
Things you like: making things myself, choosing to create instead of clean, my spouse and cats,
Six words to describe yourself: introspective, depressive, manager, Quaker, creative, synthetic (as applied to thinking processes, not materials)
What do you post in your journal? Daily reflections
Why are you on Dreamwidth? I appreciate the community structure provided by the code base, and the community values provided by the company.
Anything else? As i've written elsewhere: Daily journaler is seeking other daily journalers. I'm looking for other diarists that share some aspect of their daily life, whether it's limited to a narrow aspect of creativity or concern or is wide ranging. The diarist should be open to reading my entries and ideally is already reading the entries of folks in my circle.
