Warnings: Castration, sex, cross-dressing, manipulation
Themes/kinks chosen: Eunuchs/Castrati, Costumes

Summary: An accident gives Sirius and Peter a shared secret
Author's notes: November prompts included the theme "eunuchs/castrati". It's listed in the tags as "castration", which would have been a rather different story. I have been as accurate as I could manage with the theme, but certainly do not guarantee all details are correct. ;-) Thanks to Clauclauclaudia for very short-notice beta work.

HEY GUYS

WE SURVIVED THURSDAY

And now I have freshly made peppermint-tea ice cream in the freezer, and fresh bread for gashouse eggs for dinner tonight.

And I'm hauling a bunch of stuff home from work so I get to take a taxi, and tomorrow I'm going to the Art Institute (!!) to see the exhibit of Caldecott book art and the Victorian photocollage and the freshly opened Apostles Of Beauty.

And it's member discount week, so I am going to treat myself to the fancypants restaurant instead of the cafeteria for lunch. I love the fancypants restaurant!

Sniffles and has cold

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
So I'm looking for a new flat, because although I seem to be freeish of bed bugs, I'd like one where the roof doesn't leak.

Fussy, I know.

So I have one set of agents that cll me all the time asking me if I'm still looking. But have no actual properties. Certainly none they want to show me by email. I'm just supposed to turn up on spec. I don't think so. The last time I did that it was Limehouse and next to rubble and condemned flats. Or as I like to call it rapists' ally. Certainly led me to refine the search by removing Docklands light railway from transport routes. Huge stairs, one small lift for the whole of the commuting mass? Not going to work.

I have one set that deigned to talk to me, have arranged a viewing, but not given me the address. Because that would be too easy.

Another set talked to me and showed me some nice properties but the one I really liked isn't available until 31 January which is too late for me. The one next door is one bed and the same price. V odd, but I'm going to have a look.

Another set called and left a message. The flat is south of the river. ~is brave and open minded~ They had another one listed, a beautiful converted synagogue (which would have felt odd and wrong in a way that converted churches are not) but then I used google view and found it was in Tower Hamlets! Tower Bleeding Hamlets! One of the most deprived places in London, and all the flats I'd have to walk past to get to the tube were glazed with cardboard cf Rapists Alley 2.

In short, this is all being rather difficult. And estate agents are shits who can't do their job properly.

And liars. How they lie.

The hell is up with this day? Everyone I know has had a rotten time of it today. I burned myself baking bread. Now every kitchen implement I use regularly has officially bitten me at some point.

THIS DAY IS MORE THAN FIRED. I'M PUTTING OUT A HIT ON IT.

To the brave soul who inhumes this Thursday (never could get the hang of Thursdays) I offer a scoop of peppermint ice cream and a glass of Sonic Screwdriver (one part vodka, one part blue curacao or in my place rum hurricane mix, and four parts lemon-lime soda. It's evil in a glass).

I did get 1200 words on Valet of Anize today, though.

Hey, does anyone know the supposed reasoning behind drinking hot tea in the summertime? This is my supposition:

"In Anize, we drink hot tea even in the summer," she said, as I stood awkwardly by the desk. "Sit down, Carry. I think it's a mixture of masochism and common sense. Supposedly," she continued, as I settled on the edge of the bed, "the tea either raises your body temperature, making you more comfortable in the heat, or it makes you sweat to cool yourself. On the other hand, as a country we seem obsessed with discovering who can survive the worst heat."

Are either of those correct? Are there other theories? I'd love to hear superstitions about tea. :D

Thursday's Term to Learn - Plutocracy

[info]ancienthistory
5 nov 09 16:13
Add to Memories Tell a Friend

http://ancienthistory.about.com/b/2009/11/05/thursdays-term-to-learn-plutocracy.htm

In his first satire, Juvenal asks if he has to sit back, listening to all the rantings going on around him. By line 30 he has covered so much of what he thinks is wrong with his society that he comments
difficile est saturam non scribere
'It's hard to not-write satire.'

This programmatic satire flashed through my mind when this morning's Today Show announced that Goldman Sachs had received 200 doses of the H1N1 vaccine. If there were adequate supplies to go around, it wouldn't have raised an eyebrow, but there aren't, yet. Immediate questions are of the type: Why does Wall Street get government-funded vaccines ahead of, say, the school-aged (statistically said to be more at risk than healthy adults) kids in my town? There are explanations for it (see Amid shortage, big NYC firms get swine vaccine), but before I read them or even thought seriously about the pros and cons, or researched whether the vaccines were actually being distributed gratis, or checked whether Goldman-Sachs routinely employs statistically-at risk individuals, a topical word for this week's Thursday's Term, Plutocracy, had lodged itself in my brain. I'm truly sorry I can't produce a Roman satire -- in dactylic hexameter or anything else.

Plutocracy comes from two Greek words, ploutos 'wealth' and kratia 'power'. Ploutos should be familiar from the name Pluto that belongs to a former-planet. It comes from Greek mythology: the Underworld god is often called Pluto. The name Pluto suggests the god is the giver of wealth, since it is from the earth that metals come. Plutocracy doesn't necessarily mean rule by the wealthy -- that would be plutarchy; however, the Greek-English lexicon Liddell-Scott defines ploutokratia as an oligarchy of wealth, and cites Xenophon's use of the term.

Among other instances, plutocracy has been used to describe the late archaic and classical age Spartan system, where the elite paid high taxes in order to keep their full political rights, according to "Population Patterns in Late Archaic and Classical Sparta Population," by Thomas J. Figueira. Transactions of the American Philological Association (1974-), Vol. 116, (1986), pp. 165-213.

Who clicks on the links that warn that something may have scenes of a violent and sexual nature and thinks...

I bloody hope so, this is why I am here.



Also, the drinks machine at work has a very annoying exclamation mark. When it runs out of plastic cups it says - No more plastic cups, use your own! - as if it's my bleeding fault that I want a drink, or that it's run out. Hah! Don't take that tone of punctuation to me you jumped up machine. Pay more attention to your own job, which is dispensing brown fluids masquerading as tea, coffee or hot chocolate, in cups!

I hope everyone has been well. I was awfully ill last week, and before that things were such that I haven't been able to go properly into lj, ij, jf and dw for a long time. The end result is that my email accounts are a mess and I daren't dnld mails to outlook express till I clean them up online first. I'll be doing that from afternoon today. I feel almost nearly myself today.

Almost.


Also, I plan to buy the paperback of 'Unseen Academicals' as soon as it is out !

But that's a long way away :(

I've been working on Valet of Anize at a more intense pace since NaNo began; I'm a punk NaNo bootlegger, and I defy the Man by never signing up formally and subscribing to Simon's radical opinions on the topic of editing and rewriting, but that's okay because the essential concept still works. (More on this later.) Miraculously I've maintained almost a thousand words average a day, and will keep that up if I can do a little more tonight.

I find that as much as I love writing Carry and enjoy building Carry's view of Leigh Anizin, I have to work very hard to keep Bart and Stick at the periphery of the story where they ought to be. They're funny and weird and Bart's built on a sexual Jack Harkness model and Stick's kind of a kicked puppy of a puritan, and they're just so much fun.

Which informs me that even in stories I write, I prefer the sidekicks.

And given that I chronicle my life here with what I think is a reasonable amount of dry amusement, I think it's safe to declare that I am, in fact, my own Watson.

I suppose this is better than being someone else's Watson, but at least if that were the case sometimes it wouldn't be me breaking limbs and catching the plague.

I have many things to say today!

Actually I have many things to say every day, but a lot of time I don't have the time to say them.

First, [info]cassie_phoenix and [info]linlesiryn, if you're reading this, can you email me? Copperbadge at gmail. You have no contact info on your LJ pages and your numbers are up for Nameless signed copies. :)

Second, Adaigo Tea is doing The Roots Campaign, which is a cool setup where they profile a different tea farmer every month, and 10% of the sales of the tea they provide will be donated directly to them. Last month they raised something like $650 for the farmer (above, of course, what they pay for the tea to begin with). It's also an interesting look at the life of various tea farmers around the globe. And Adagio's a good company, I buy all my loose-leaf from them.

Third: If you are the USDA, and there is a major beef recall, surely the major beef recall should be linked from your home page. Or at least "food recalls" should be linked, instead of totally absent in any way from any area that a customer would intuitively visit. I know I should know what brand of beef I buy and where it comes from already, but I buy from Costco and then repack it in small serving sizes when I get home. I try to buy green and local, but sometimes I just don't have the energy to save the world through my choices in food consumption. Anyway, for everyone's reference, the USDA recall information page is here.

I also have some stuff to say about NaNo and some of its trends this year, but it's on the netbook and the netbook is at home. And by the time I prep it to post it might be irrelevant, so we'll see.

OH ALSO even my mother was less than impressed:

I didn't care much for the NCIS last night...seemed to much like a rehash of past shows and I don't like that guy Gibbs used to work for. Are Ziva and Tony ever going to go out?

<3 her.
