I have to work this Saturday, so my Amazon Weekend Wishlist extravaganza will need to wait until I come home. I am planning on starting the thread at 12 am Sunday Eastern Time. Have your wishlists updated, shipping address included, and feel free to not restrict your wishlist to books. I will select which book to send you from your list based on a title that I recognize and appreciate. I may also buy the panty organizer you added to your wishlist "just because".

If I recognize your shipping address as one that I have sent to in the past, I may need to skip over you in the hopes of giving to someone new.

Well be sure to get your lists in order. I felt bad last time ordering for people because they would only have 3-5 books in their list. Surely there were other books that they haven't read! Also, if you are a student and you know what books you will need for the fall, I highly suggest getting those on your lists as well. Maybe throw in a neat shark-shaped kite or a rock tumbler and you'll get them both.

Not trolling. Check your wish lists after looking at this. I have no problem shipping to EU, but you guys need to keep in mind that Amazon gives the US an 18-32 day window for delivery. In some strange cases, import duties need to be paid and I don't know how that is handled. In any case, these are on the way and that's all I can do for tonight. These are in the mail, so to speak.

Does anyone think it might be prying too much if I ask wishlisters to describe who they are? I think the greatest comfort I get from this is trying to envision the person based on the books they want. One wishlist was almost completely centered around a woman's role in politics, yet i couldn't help but wonder if this was a student of political science or a housewife seeking radical modernist ideals contrary to her own formative experiences? I guess in short, what I am asking, is it OK to learn a little about the person asking? I mean I would like to get an idea of WHO I am sending WHAT to. You know...I mean if theres some guy intent on genocide in Nigeria, should I know before sending him a how-to book on efficient biomass extermination?

Turned 18 years old in October 2009 (joined Defence Force at 17) and was sent over for active duty late December 2009. Always had a huge interest in the more classic literature and also some erotics, such as Delta of Venus (kept me going through the 7 months).

You sound like a very interesting man. Care to elaborate with the desert reclamation theory, sounds interesting.

Mate these machines are amazing, as well as the AC-130 Spectre Gunships, as well as the fine pilots who fly these machines. Sorry about the women, not sure i will find one anytime soon. I came back from tour and, find myself detached from where i used to belong, all the ones my age seem so immature and attention seeking through self loathing and after what I've seen and been through i don't need stuck up depressed GIRLS acting like their lives are so terrible.

Well, nothing can really be said about the women. honestly, they come and they go, I just haven't met any one of them that decided I was more important than they were.

But on ultra-light aircraft, I can rattle on for days. In the US, basically anything weighing under a certain poundage (300 pounds, IIRC) carrying less than 5 gallons of fuel, and not surpassing 10 thousand fet can be flown without a "stick and rudder"endorsement. They do ask you to carry radio equipment, but thats a few pounds at best. So basically if you have any apparatus that moves air or is moved by air and can sustain itself in flight is not considered a registrable aircraft by US law. The whole thing opens up a can of worms that our FAA hasn't addressed.

Desert reclamation is cooler in the long run because it involves developing drought resistant strains of plants which quickly break sand into topsoil, thus allowing the area to become arable soil. With an influx of predatory 1st generation land creepers, in theory, sand can be converted into topsoil. This might be extremely important to the Sahara as far as crop production is concerned.

You too! Much of current desert reclamation is actually happening in Oregon and on the veneer of sand circling the great lakes. What it entails is usually threefold: the diversion of wind, the introduction of growth material, and the growth of dense plant life that breaks the first part (land-level erosive winds). It has the possibility of turning the Sahara into the bread basket of the world, thus stabilizing the economy and food needs of 50% of Africa. Big time studies!

Jeez, someone has some money to spend. That's cool.

Despite all the strife and bad blood in the world right now, it seems that small pockets of kindness still exist.

Wee bit about me: I'm in my twenties, caught in a really untenable employment (or unemployment, rather) situation, feeling slowly unmoored from the rest of my life in general. On Google Reader, I'm subscribed to the local paper, AlterNet, Ars Technica, Slate, The New Yorker, and the Atlantic. I speak 3 languages. And I think the new Doctor Who is not bad.

>I would like to get an idea of WHO I am sending WHAT to.
A fairly typical 4chan browser, in my case. I love dance, tabletop gaming, and psychology. Dropped out of college, though, so I'm just working a basic, lame phone customer service job. My youth's not gone, yet, but I wasted a good deal of it by not settling on a goal and striving for it in college. I choreograph, collect publisher's rejection letters, and design adventures & games in my spare time. I like to be DOING something, so it's been a long time since I've read any fiction. "No More Mr Nice Guy", by Dr Robert Glover, is what I'm currently working on and it seems to be life-changing, albeit slowly. I wouldn't *mind* "moar of this", but I haven't sought it out. I figure if you're reading multiple self-help books, you're more likely to be consuming the book mindlessly or addicted to advice, and not making changes.

>> No.823769

>I choreograph
Not really /lit/ related but it's slow at night so I doubt anyone will mind. What does choreographing mean, exactly? How do you do it?

Do you just think of dance moves from an audience's perspective and record yourself moving? Do you write something down like "left foot 45-degrees while right hand moves slowly rises above my head?"

>> No.823799

>>823769
It's different for every choreographer, I think. Because I don't do it for a living, mine happens very spontaneously. A song will come on, and it just makes me want to express, say, the exhilaration, danger, and confusion of spinning. Or the bittersweet joy of leaping away from the ground and falling back down again.

So I stop what I'm doing, and keep listening as images of movements and body language flow through my head. That's the fun part. It then gets increasingly more frustrating.

The first thing I do is replay the song, but get up and try to perform what I envisioned. This is a clumsy pantomime of my original intent at best, both because I only have 3 years of professional dance training, and I haven't practiced the sequences yet. But I take a few cracks at it until I get a feel for what would *probably* be plausible, considering the limitations of body and mind, to actually perform. Then I write it down in a way that I can understand if I come back to it later. This is a mix of actual terms for the movements and amateur descriptions, like "Stag Leap to stage left, tuck into right-shoulder roll as landing, stand w/ arms 4th position, smile confidently wait for 2 beats then explode into 2 or 3 butterfly kicks as the music picks up" Again, I'm short on formal training.

When I used to actually teach my dances to other dancers for our classes and performances, it was rather awkward explaining this stuff to them, because their moms had typically encouraged them to dance from age 3 and they act like they already know everything. (They get really awkward and lost, though, when they try to perform made-up moves or martial arts stuff)

The best part is that, when I'm done, I can re-read my notes or hear the song, and the performance plays out magnificently and flawlessly in my head. The worst part was always trying to put the performance into words that *other* dancers would understand, and try to make the performance wonderful at an actual dance concert.
