And I love how they imply that marriage and family is secretly what all women want because they are humorless harpies and it is a devastating trap for men who only want to be free. ""Apparently no one likes being married but us."We sigh sad. I grow palpably angry as the film wears on. "Do you smell that?" I hiss to L. He doesn't. Finally. I sprint into the kitchen as I recall that L put water on for me for tea - over an hour ago. The kettle is scorched. The whole kitchen reeks of molten aluminum. And so to me. "Knocked Up" will always smell like fire and anger. Scene Two: L and I drive home from a delicious Ethiopian dinner with the Novelist and the Do-Gooder Lawyer. The wipers on the Mini go at a steady clip as we zip along the freeway."I never want to have a portable DVD player for the kid okay?" I say. We do not have a kid but you never can tell with these things. "Why can't we just talk to it? Or sing?""Let's sing," urges L. "I'm feeling tired."And so we do a few rounds of Row. Row Your Boat. "Now like monsters!" cries L and we do a round in loud monster voices."Now like hummingbirds!" I say and we do a round in high squeaky bird voices."Now like queens!" chimes L and we do a round in posh British monarch accents. Then we do Jack Nicholson. Bob Dylan an opera singer cat meows and pig snorts."I feel very human right now," says L and I laugh and we even get the parking space right in front of the house. Because sometimes things work out perfectly. Interestingly. I really liked Knocked Up (my main objection was the assumption that people should stay together for the sake of the kids). And yet I also think that of all my friends your ideas about marriage are closest to mine.... But then. I didn't see the movie as thinking that all women want marriage more that most of us human beings have no idea what the *?!?*! we're doing when we get into it.... My main issue with it was that it seems modeled on an outdated almost 1970s model of gender relations. Men and women are in two different camps with no friendships across the boundaries and with entirely different ways of looking at the world. And I just don't buy that anymore. Further let's say they do stay together. Implausible but fine. Why does the film treat the baby as the transformative event that catapults the loser into maturity and responsibility? It's like the baby is a bigger deal for him than it is for her! Jesus. And no suggestion as I suspect would be the case that the person with no job prospects take point on child care while the high-profile career person goes back to work. No. The solution *must* be that he gets a career too. That and the rampant anti-semitism. God. I hated that film. Except for the dance club bouncer monologue. That was genius. I didn't love Knocked Up but I didn't hate it either. It actually reminded me of a lot of guys that I knew both in high school and college - there was pretty much nothing else going on but getting high and some half-baked (pardon the pun) ideas around career possibilities often involving film-making or entrepreneurship. I love your descriptions of married life. You are such a good writer - I'm jealous. Le mari and I were just commenting two days ago about how hateful the car DVD players are. I like singing. My favorite hobby at home is to change song lyrics to ones that will fit my pets. Anti-semitism? I didn't see that at all. Rogen played the same character as he did in "The 40 Year-Old Virgin," which featured a diverse cast of semi-unappealing oversexed male characters. Anyway. I'm not sure the 'men feel trapped by commitment' meme is anachronistic. In your two PhD household gender relations have presumably progressed beyond the 'Everybody Loves Raymond' model. But the 'men want sex/women want commitment' idea,' while grossly oversimplified has a foundation in evolutionary biology - as do all manner of other behaviors that we would do well to rid ourselves of. But the evolutionary drag is very real; men have been built by nature to reproduce with every member of the opposite sex who appeals to them. The civilizing influence of the beloved should purge a good husband/boyfriend of any wish to act on these desires. And the responsibilities of family should also have a similarly civilizing effect. To the degree that we have any kind of functioning society at all it is because violent and lustful men are capable of being civilized. The end. There's a certain optimism to thinking that an event such as a baby could transform a guy who seriously thinks he can live off of a porn-film site in spite of having done no research to see if he has competitors. That's such an appalling oversight that I'm skeptical. As a result you could argue that the movie is if anything anti-male: there isn't a single guy in the film that I'd be happy to see a female friend end up with. On the anti-Semitism question this is where I look a bit shamefaced and say. "um.. somebody in the movie was Jewish?" I never noticed any sort of religion in there at all.... The Seth Rogen character was - thus jokes about his stand-up hair. The only reason it made me bristle is because he is meant to be an oversexed repulsive decadent lout who is at the same time something less than masculine; this is a very old stereotype about Jewish men in our culture. See "Sex and the City" for further elaboration on this theme. Monsieur P. I am afraid that the "evolutionary biology" argument also holds little sway with me as it is rooted in nineteenth century models of gender and morality which hold that women are (or ought to be) a civilizing influence on men who are otherwise at the mercy of their physical drives. By way of comparison the stereotype of the eighteenth century and earlier interestingly was that women's sexuality is wanton and rampant by definition and it takes a strong man and a heavy bible to keep her under control. The structures that we take to be "natural" are nothing of the kind. We are creatures of culture to such an extent that we often do not even know it. Lastly. I'd like to point out that the only person who made a rational recommendation - the mother who told her to "take care of the problem" and then promptly vanished from the film - was presented as something of a villain viz the line "you can then have a real baby later." Now. I know that that would defeat the premise of the movie. But just imagine- if she had only taken her mother's wise advice then she would never have had to deal with her lout the movie would have ended after only ten minutes and I wouldn't have burned by teakettle. Everybody wins! Huh. I'm out of synch with my stereotypes; my instant and heartfelt recognition of "pudgy slacker with poorly-researched internet business idea" trumped all else. Maybe it's a geography-specific awareness; there's less visible Jewish culture and (as a result? a side effect?) fewer visible Jewish stereotypes in CA than I remember from NY which is sort of interesting in and of itself. Makes me wonder if you got a bunch of West-coasters & East-coasters together and asked them to rank the prevalence of various stereotypes movies how different the results would be based not on the movies but on the stereotypes we're all most accustomed to seeing.

"Block Unwanted Scraps in Orkut Scrapbook" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-03 15:41:50

Oh my God! I never thought Orkut would change surface give consideration to the feature that they undergo finally implemented now. Orkut was always looked drink upon when compared to other social networking websites due to its low privacy features and security holes which could get your Orkut be hacked or change surface create you to lose some very personal information but the recent addition of a new feature to the Orkut system shall now verify that Orkut will be safe enough to compete with other social networks like Facebook and MySpace. “Friends and Friends Only Scraps” (Thats what I call it) is a new feature that has been recently added to the Orkut system and will ensure that you get scraps only from the populate you trust i e friends and family etc. This ordain block all unwanted scraps in your scrapbook from people who usually used to spam you or displease you for no cerebrate. The new great feature will make sure that you don’t get links to any malicious scripts and websites and ordain also prevent unknown populate from writing something abusive or unethical on your scrapbook. go the simple little steps to set up the “Friends and Friends Only Scraps” Feature . I also noticed that. Orkut members can only add images in scraps of their friends. Adding multimedia in a non-friend’s scrapbook is not allowed. Being the most used social communicate in my country. India. Brazil. Iran etc the Orkut turn is really growing and growing into the masses and I wish one day it beats Facebook and MySpace though that is one very big challenge. Can we block cast aside from one of the friends enumerate. As of now it is allowing scrap from friends if we select friends option in Privacy option. I be to block one particular friend. Is there any option other than removing from friend list. To block scraps from a particular friend or person you can use the “do by User” feature of Orkut. Just navigate to the profile of the person you don’t want to get scraps from and click “Ignore User” in the left sidebar. The person ordain be added to your “do by List” and won’t be able to scrap you until you shift him/her from the Ignore list.

"Panda Love: Wacom Scraps Graphire for Bamboo" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-17 16:57:35

Wacom has replaced its old consumer model. Graphire with a new two-model line called Bamboo and Bamboo Fun. First off neither one of the new models can accept that your pen is tilting change functions depending on what application you're running or use other non-Bamboo specific drawing pens. But they both undergo added four programmable buttons as well as a large zooming/scrolling go. The Bamboo is the more professional model of the two. It features a nice alter design but lacks a larger tablet option a mouse or even an eraser on the pen. But it's relatively cheap at $69.99. The Bamboo Fun while looking significantly goofier does consider the pen a larger tablet option and the mouse. But these extras collide with up the price to $99.99 for the smaller tablet and $199.99 for the medium-sized one. be for them later this month. [] I love my Graphire tablet. The pressure / pen bend sensitive software is amazing. When I use the oil create mode it is as if I have a real brush in my hand. And the clean up (now just mopping up spilled beer and orange crumbs of Cheetos) is so much easier than the paint thinner wash off. I don't think this is a very progressive move. @: I always wondered what is the difference between Bamboo and Graphire? They both have same levels of pressure sensitivity same dpi neither recognizes pen tilts etc. For anyone who is serious about their digital painting I have to advise Intuos series. The feel is just so much better more mature and refined not as plastic as the cheaper ranges. Wacom used to sell the Graphire for $99 and consider a full copy of Photoshop Elements which alone used to sell for $99. If they offer this combo again. I can see them being somewhat successful. From a user standpoint the 4x5 is way to small to do anything but minor bring home the bacon in. I undergo a graphire and I'd say the mouse is pretty much useless with my current configuration. Combine that with the fact that I hate overly colorful computing accessories (Not the type I guess) and the professional model is even more appealing. I recently got myself a Bamboo... It looks good feels good and works just fine. It's mostly suitable for use with widescreens plus the comprehend sensitive scrolling thingy and 4 extra buttons are pretty useful. Only negative is that the pen's button is a bit uncomfortable to use(might be just me). I even tried a bit of gaming with it although that isn't nearly as fast and comfortable as with a regular mouse :)Pretty nice little tablet especially when considering the reasonable price. @: I can't really analyse not having used the Bamboo or the Intuos. I was just looking for a good low end painting / inking / skething pad. I mostly do quick work (like 2-4 hours total) for the fun of it and like acrylic oil type painting. When blending and airbrushing the Graphire has really cool tilt sensitivity that gives you an edge or spreads the spray out in the tilt direction reminding me of the real thing. I interact the Intuos is better? "The Bamboo is the more professional model of the two. It features a nice clean design but lacks a larger tablet option a mouse or even an eraser on the pen." The bamboo do have an eraser on the pen. Bought exploit 3 days ago and im very happy with it feels good in the hand and i undergo no problems with buttons on the pen not like an Intous but it fits me perfect for that time when i be to scrible around in photoshop
