Who Killed Amanda Palmer

Who Killed Amanda Palmer is the first solo album by American musical artist Amanda Palmer.

The name of the album is a reference to the series Twin Peaks, which revolves around events surrounding the death of Laura Palmer.

Palmer was born in New York City's Mount Sinai Hospital,^[7] and grew up in Lexington, Massachusetts.^[8] She attended Lexington High School, where she was involved in the drama department,^[9] and attended Wesleyan University^[10] where she was a member of the Eclectic Society.^[11] She staged performances based on work by the Legendary Pink Dots, an early influence, and was involved in the Legendary Pink Dots electronic mailing list, Cloud Zero.^{[citation needed]} She then formed the Shadowbox Collective, devoted to street theatre and putting on theatrical shows (such as the 2002 play, Hotel Blanc,^[12] which she directed).

On January 1, 2010, she stated on her Twitter feed that she "might have told [Neil Gaiman] [she]'d marry him but also might have been drunk."^[73] On January 15, 2010, Neil Gaiman and Palmer confirmed their engagement in an announcement made to their respective websites.^[74][75] On November 16, 2010, Amanda Palmer hosted a flash mob wedding (not legally binding) for Gaiman's birthday in New Orleans.^[76][77] On January 3, 2011, the couple announced, via Twitter, that they had legally married in a private ceremony.^[78] The wedding took place in the parlor of writers Ayelet Waldman and Michael Chabon.^[79]

Palmer practices meditation and wrote an article titled "Melody vs. Meditation" for the Buddhist publication Shambhala Sun, that described the struggle between songwriting and being able to clear the mind to meditate.^[80] Palmer has also mentioned her pescetarianism on her blog.^[81]

Pescetarianism /ˌpɛskɨˈtɛəriən/ (also spelled pescatarianism) is the practice of a diet that includes seafood, but not the flesh of other animals. 

WHEN I MEDITATE, I do not have a hard time letting go of films, grudges, or grocery lists. But I can't let go of music.  

There's no end
To the Love
You can Give
When you change your point of view
To Underfoot

What the fudge?

It has been a month, maybe as long as a month and a half… Where have I been?

Same as every one else...doing other things.

I am just going to write it off to good karma.
I just lost a couple of paragraphs worth of thoughts and it is best not to think of it as a loss but as fortunate accident. Let us think those words were never meant to be recorded.
It isn't like anyone is going to really read this yet.
This is my therapy
.
So, if I believe in karma I will not try to re-create what I lost I will move forward… Ever forward.
I'll comment about how I started this blog.

It has been my habit start block with a movie. This time I started with a music out. Amanda Palmer is a little bit too artsy artsy, a little too punk to that caught my attention any other way than through her significant other...
Neil Richard MacKinnon Gaiman^[1] (/ˈɡeɪmən/;^[2] born Neil Richard Gaiman; 10 November 1960)^[3] is an English author of short fiction, novels, comic books,graphic novels, audio theatre and films. His notable works include the comic book series The Sandman and novels Stardust, American Gods, Coraline, and The Graveyard Book. He has won numerous awards, including Hugo, Nebula, Bram Stoker, Newbery Medal, and Carnegie Medal. He is the first author to win both the Newbery and the Carnegie medals for the same work, The Graveyard Book (2008).^[4][5]

I found Amanda while researching Neil… And I was researching Neil because I was looking… Listening to an audiobook he wrote.

Anansi Boys is a novel by Neil Gaiman. In Anansi Boys we discover that 'Mr. Nancy' (Anansi) has two sons, and the two sons in turn discover each other. The novel follows their adventures as they explore their common heritage.

Anansi Boys was published on September 20, 2005 and was released in paperback on October 1, 2006. The book debuted at number one on The New York Times Best Seller list,^[1] and won both the Locus Award and the British Fantasy Society Award in 2006.^[2] The audiobook was released in 2005, narrated byLenny Henry.

Amanda and Neil made such a quirky couple that they caught my attention. I especially enjoyed the YouTube video called what is in your bag. They went into a book and record shop and then talked about their choices. They brought several new authors and bands onto my radar. I thanked him for the period

if people stopped writing books and is another video was never recorded or another song ever written there is more out there and one could possibly hope to enjoy this is a new phenomenon of this generation. If you look back, previous literature almost always referenced the classics, the Greek classics. It was common ground. Referenced often. Everyone knew what was being meant for no reference was made to Greek literature and mythology. Although we all know about Greek mythology, we do not know as in-depth as previous generations. And many of these references are not obvious to the modern reader. I found this to be true when I read Henry David Thoreau quote Waltons Pond quote. I had to get in addition with footnotes to explain what was referencing in Greek mythology.

Walden (first published as Walden; or, Life in the Woods) is an American book written by noted transcendentalist Henry David Thoreau. The work is part personal declaration of independence, social experiment, voyage of spiritual discovery, satire, and manual for self-reliance.^[2] First published in 1854, it details Thoreau's experiences over the course of two years, two months, and two days in a cabin he built near Walden Pond, amidst woodland owned by his friend and mentor Ralph Waldo Emerson, near Concord, Massachusetts. The book compresses the time into a single calendar year and uses passages of four seasons to symbolize human development.

By immersing himself in nature, Thoreau hoped to gain a more objective understanding of society through personal introspection. Simple living and self-sufficiency were Thoreau's other goals, and the whole project was inspired by transcendentalist philosophy, a central theme of the American Romantic Period. As Thoreau made clear in his book, his cabin was not in wilderness but at the edge of town, about two miles (3 km) from his family home.

Carmen is struck again I lost another paragraph… For the better I'm sure.

Time to venture out to information space and see what else I can find to amuse myself…

My father forwards me all kinds of group emails… This was one of many pictures about dogs.

Alien Resurrection

200 years after the conclusion of Alien 3, the company is able to resurrect Ripley through the process of cloning and the scientists successfully take the Queen Alien out of her. But, Ripley's DNA gets mixed up with the Queen's and she begins to develop certain alien characteristics. The scientists begin breeding the aliens, but they later escape. Soon the Xeno-morphs are running amok on the ship, which is on course to earth. The Queen then gives birth to a deadly new breed of alien, which could spell disaster for the entire human race. It's up to Ripley and a band of space pirates to stop the ship before it reaches earth.

Me: I love Josh Wheadon. He wrote this. Watch anthing he does.

Surprise. I go for weeks without one entry and here I have two in a row. Just and never tell about me. The truth is blogging is like real estate. Location. Location. Location. A blog whenever I'm in my office, affectionately known as tower. Period I'm in the tower tonight watching one of the better of the alien series. Period

Bragg, we had one of my favorite meals tonight. Tostadas brisket tacos. The refried beans were excellent. The brisket was tender made perfect tacos. And I kicked the heat of the notch really spicy pico de gallo, onions tomatoes jalapeno flux alignment spice. Cover the shit with sour cream you made a fan out of me.

I got a date with a book, actually, a couple of books. Caio!

The Fountain

Three stories - one each from the past, present, and future - about men in pursuit of eternity with their love. A conquistador in Mayan country searches for the tree of life to free his captive queen; a medical researcher, working with various trees, looks for a cure that will save his dying wife; a space traveler, traveling with an aged tree encapsulated within a bubble, moves toward a dying star that's wrapped in a nebula; he seeks eternity with his love. The stories intersect and parallel; the quests fail and succeed.





While now long as it did… Dragon work with me here… How long has it been?

I'm thinking it's been since your last visit my friend.


To be honest, not much just changed… Much has changed. Not much has changed. In case you're wondering, that's a good thing. The truth is I am right where you left me. Sitting on the back porch. 


I wake up to the back porch so I will not disturb Cheryl because she likes to sleep in. Sometime in the morning there is an activity, like taking a walk or buying groceries or both. 

There is always a big brunch. Afternoons are spent in the pool. Floating. Reading. Napping. And drinking. Eventually the drinking brings us out of the pool to make dinner. After dinner we visit to listen to music…

 That doesn't happen very often… Everyone ends up in front of their personal electronics. The boys play video games 

Cheryl Reeves writes listens to music. I read write and watch videos. I have been spending more time in my lab. I do the same things there that I do on the back porch only I have a computer to these and a microscope.

 How would I look with a goatee?
Isn't that Morgan's cactus?

You only need one friend at a time…

 It simply… It's… Simple.

I trust your filling your life starts with  a breath, then a thought, then an action, then another breath, then it is he's got going on like that… You find a movie or book. Take a walk your run an errand. And cook something wonderful for yourself. Something that is more fun to make that it is the buy yourself a drink and toast the world is… Not how you want it to be.

 I am back.
Where did I go?
To the grocery store!
Actually, I went to return movies to the red box I decided pick up we needed for the week while it was there. Friday nights I buy junk food. Cheese makes frozen pizzas Coke Dr Pepper beer. Sunday evenings I buy healthy foods. Fruits vegetables meat.
A meeting drinking healthy… I am even drinking healthy. A bloody Mary has juice in it, right?

The bloody Mary is going to very smooth… The bloody Mary is going down very smoothly. I wonder if Dragon speak is inaccurate or if I will mush mouth?

Can we agree on a little of both?

Amazing green tea when I got up. I'm in the… Moderate mood. Less is more. More or less.

I might just be speaking to loudly. It's not… This might not be the only time I have that problem. I have been said to have a voice carries. My mother was always asking me my side boys, even when I was outside. My dad called the loud mouth line, one of the characters and a rival brand Kool-Aid's pocket when I was a child. Believe it or not I was a child. Believe it or not I still land.

Tonight we just eating beans and rice. There is risk of leftover from yesterday. Their sausage left over from the day before that. Head wants taco salad. Her go to meet if you ever had green goddess dressing? That is what we like on our taco salad and you know that every Monday in New Orleans tradition is to eat red beans and rice… And sausage.

 

 There is so much nothing to do. How will we ever get it all done? He tries so hard never to to do nothing I can't help but go back with some said to me, someone from New Orleans, but you can't say the wrong thing and say nothing. Think about that. Think about all the trouble cause for ourselves trying to justify membership is said in the first place. Trying to live up to promises never should've made

 

Zombieland.The.Series.

Someone's review, not mine.

Zombieland the series have they gone to far? in my opinion the series will be too much like the film but will never be as good because they face a big problem because they don't have the chemistry that Emma stone, woody harrelson and Jesse Eisenberg have in the film, which contributed to the film massively. Another problem is that one of the main protagonists in the film Tallahassee (Woody harrelson) who stood out for his sheer love and talent at killing zombies, who also was an ionic figure in zombie-land will never be lived up to by anyone else.

Columbus, Wichita and Little Rock more or less feel like the same characters that were introduced to us in the movie and are okay, but Tallahassee however feels completely different. Maybe it was Woody's charm and his natural bad ass attitude that makes the film so good, but this Tallahassee seems more like a joker than the film's version.

Overall the they manage to keep a similar feel to the series and make the 30 minute episode quite funny and comical. However when watching try to watch it as a series and don't make comparisons to the movie and try and focus in on the episode and it becomes quite enjoyable to watch and could be a success.

I can't really start until I get a couple pictures of cute animals and here

 You coming up or do you want us to come down?

. I'm watching the first episode of the second season of the series I mentioned called black mirror. Remember? The modern twilight zone? It's a really cool series.

I had to take off work yesterday. My blood pressure was a little high and I wanted to get some medication. I got my prescription and relax for the rest of the day. Seem like the right thing to do. We went to see the Indigo Girls later on that night. The wind with lambda and her husband Perry. It was the absolute best place to have a concert, no I can't call it a concert, it was just Amy and Emily playing. It was… A performance. One of the best performances I have ever seen. And I did not know if you've seen the movie to kill a Mockingbird, but this stage was set up in the old county courthouse which is now performing arts Center. Perry, plans husband, I think I mentioned that, was raised in this town. He knew every old building. And he knew what used to be in the place where any new building was. We received the hometown to her. Which is funny because performing arts theater was built with the influx of new yuppie money. McKinney Texas has become an upper-class bedroom community to Dallas. They got an Olive Garden.

 This is us going in sitting down. Honestly, Cheryl had more fun than what she looks like she's having. As we went out for Mexican food first!

 See what I mean we set up top in the balcony, just like the black people did in to kill a Mockingbird. I was looking for Atticus Finch to come out at any time

 See, I told you head had fun. See the smile on her face?

 Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. The concert is about to begin

Not the best picture but you can kind of feeders to people play music. You'll have to trust me. It is the Indigo Girls.


This is a picture hanging in the entry hall of the courthouse. Perry remembered playing checkers with the old men in that very hallway. Playing checkers and what they call dropping knives. It's a way to trade knifes. Pocket knifes silly. And over and over again the key Mentioning for the blacks bathroom was. For the blacks water fountain once. When the doctor saw only black patients. It was definitely a segregated society. I wonder what they would think of this picture 20 years ago.

 This is the front of the courthouse. It does on us where that is now become an entertainment hotspot with paths, microbreweries, and upscale restaurants.

This is a panoramic picture I took of the square around the courthouse.

Had got her new tablet. She stayed up until two of the more morning setting it up. And she woke up early with me so she could start playing with it again. She is now watching her soap operas on it it was the perfect Mother's Day gift for her.

Made ham and spinach omelette for brunch today. I burned it on the bottom just enough for everyone to bitch. I'm grateful bastards. I will get another chance to redeem myself for dinner. Steak fried chicken livers grilled squash Caesar salad cornbread and roasted baby potatoes. You get something to wash that down with and you have one hell of a good time. One hell of a good time.


This episode of like mere weird. They all are. This one is about computer simulations. The first is about… You know the peak. The second one was about American ruling the world. And the third one was about recording every moment of every day. Technology gone awry you get the picture. In this episode ladies husband dies. Very sad. And cope with their grief, a friend signs are up for a computer simulation. It looks to all of the emails personal files and someone leaves and creates a persona. Then the persona sells her and Stephen Hawking style blowup doll. Almost as good as the real thing.


I think I will for some paint and draw a little..

Black Mirror

: Season 1, Episode 1 The National Anthem (4 Dec. 2011)

In the run-up to Christmas the British Prime Minister Michael Callow is woken up and shown a disturbing video. On it he sees that people's princess Susannah of Beaumont has been abducted and will allegedly be murdered unless he has sex with a pig on live television. An effort to trace the kidnapper on a deserted campus proves to be in vain and Michael dismisses his aides' suggestion that a porn star perform the bestiality with the PM's face digitally superimposed. News coverage and Internet tweeters go into overdrive as Michael ultimately does his duty,in a deserted room with one camera man and a seemingly contented pig. Despite being ordered not to look,millions of people tune in though their amusement soon turns to horror at what they see. Susannah is released,though it is kept from the prime minister that she was let go half an hour before his television performance. A year later,when Susannah is pregnant and Michael's popularity ratings have soared - though his marriage is under ... 

Me: this is a modern day twilight zone, only very very very dark. Only the British to come up with this.

It is Sunday evening, I'm watching a scary movie, Nazis and zombies… Pretty scary. I picked up a seek and find puzzle book at the dollar store today and I'm amusing myself with it. I have no intent of doing anything constructive for the rest of the evening. Everyone else in the family is doing their own thing.

Even when I do puzzles I have a thirst for knowledge. The puzzle is about the Mongol Empire. And since I don't know anything about the Golden horde, I looked them up.…

The Golden Horde (Tatar: Алтын Урда Altın Urda; Mongolian: Зүчийн улс, Züchii-in Uls; Russian: Золотая Орда, tr. Zolotaya Orda) was a Mongol and later Turkic khanate that was established in the 13th century and formed the north-western sector of the Mongol Empire.^[1] The khanate is also known as the Kipchak Khanate or as the Ulus of Jochi.^[2]

After the death of Batu Khan in 1255, the prosperity of his dynasty lasted for a full century until 1359, though the intrigues of Nogai did invoke a partial civil war in the late 1290s. The Horde's military power peaked during the reign of Uzbeg (1312–41), who adopted Islam. The territory of the Golden Horde at its peak included most of Eastern Europe from the Urals to the right banks of the Danube River, extending east deep into Siberia. In the south, the Golden Horde's lands bordered on the Black Sea, the Caucasus Mountains, and the territories of the Mongol dynasty known as the Ilkhanate.^[3]

The khanate had begun to experience violent internal political disorder in 1359, before it was briefly reunited under Tokhtamysh in 1381. However, soon after the 1396 invasion of Tamerlane, it broke into smaller Tatar khanates that declined steadily in power. At the start of the 15th century the Horde began to fall apart. By 1433 it was simply referred to as the Great Horde. On its territories appeared numerous predominantly Turkic-speaking khanates. These internal struggles allowed the northern vassal state of Muscovy to rid itself of the "Tatar Yoke" at the Great stand on the Ugra river in 1480. The Crimean Khanate and the Kazakh Khanate, the last remnants of the Golden Horde, persisted until 1783 and 1847, respectively.

Started listing to an interesting science fiction novel: Ender's game. Soon to be a major motion picture starring Harrison Ford.

Ender's Game (1985) is a science fiction novel by American author Orson Scott Card. Set in Earth's future, the novel presents an imperiled humankind that has barely survived two conflicts with the "Buggers", an insectoid alien species. In preparation for an anticipated third invasion, an international fleet maintains a school to find and train future fleet commanders. The world's most talented children, including the novel's protagonist, Ender Wiggin, are taken at a very young age to a training center known as the Battle School. There, teachers train them in the arts of war through increasingly difficult games including ones undertaken in zero gravity in the Battle Room, where Ender's tactical genius is revealed.


Hello hello, found this left over from last weekend started but never finished it then that would make it finished with. Yet when it's over it's over. A recent stretch it out and send it out. This was for you my man, enjoy and I'll start working on another one immediately.
