Hidden in the shadow of Trinity College, Dublin and surrounded by a host of drab government buildings, The Screen is among the city's best-kept cinematic secrets. Located on Hawkins Street, an otherwise sombre sector just off Burgh Quay, the area stands as the no-nonsense antithesis to Temple Bar, Dublin's nearby cultural nucleus. Constant flows of passing buses are filled with commuters who rarely afford The Screen a second glance. In their defence, it's hardly eye-catching.
No matter which way you slice it, The Screen poses little aesthetic threat to either of its main rivals, the subtle, sophisticated Irish Film Institute or the ultra-modern Light House Cinema. However, neither can boast the stone-cold sculpture of a welcoming cinema usher; the affable Mr Screen stands resolute atop The Screen's cobblestoned entrance, silently wishing his patrons a satisfying sojourn.
Inside, three cinema screens can house a total of 780 film fans. Various please-take-one publications ease those pre-movie jitters, while wooden tables and chairs provide a comfortable, relaxed waiting area. Snacks and refreshments, served in pleasingly old-school Pepsi cups, are available from the concession stand. If beer or wine tickle your fancy, The Screen has you covered.
The Screen's inner-city location brings in a veritable cornucopia of visitors, from bespectacled film geeks to curious cinema-going tourists. Many local civil servants treat The Screen as an after-work bastion of relaxation, while its late evening and night-time screenings attract wanderers perplexed by the half-dead neon sign. €5 Student Mondays are taken frequent advantage of, allowing scholars access to a variety of movies at a fraction of the price offered by competitors.
In general, The Screen showcases the latest in Irish or international filmmaking, with a simultaneous dedication to independent releases. Movies are advertised in clusters of three or four at a time. During the early months, in the build-up to awards' season, The Screen resurrects the bookies' picks for the Oscars, BAFTAs and Golden Globes that have already departed mainstream outlets. It was the last place to catch Ben Affleck's Iranian mission or Anne Hathaway's on-screen haircut in 2013.
Its dedication to queer cinema is a noteworthy feature of The Screen. This year alone, Behind the Candelabra, Any Day Now, Philomena and Blue is the Warmest Colour each enjoyed extended stays, often far beyond the orthodox ration of two or three weeks.
Further Notes
An undeniable charm wraps the weathered exterior in a certain air of timelessness. Now in its fourth decade, The Screen has endured its economic ups and downs. Dwindling ticket sales combined with the rise of Netflix and internet piracy may spell doom for like-minded independents, but there is light at the end of The Screen's tunnel. Construction of a new LUAS tramline running parallel to The Screen is underway, and the cinema's increased visibility could revitalize business. When asked, Mr Screen himself unfortunately gives no comment, but his stony demeanour expresses confidence.

At this risk of turning this site into "All Huckabee All the Time," here's an entertaining bit of video: it's the Huckster splitting the screen with an awesomely wordy Chuck Norris last night on "Larry King Live." Fun highlights include: counting how many times Huckabee blinks during Norris' intro ramble; the way Norris pronounces "a raging FIE-yer;" and his blinding white teeeeth! (Maybe that's why Mike was blinking so much).

That was fast. I reported, like, just a few seconds ago that BBC Radio 1 had decided to cut two sections of the Pogues 20-year-old Christmas song, "Fairytale of New York," including the word "faggot" and the line "old slut on junk." Now comes word that they've reversed the decision and will play the original version of the song. Radio 1 "controller" Andy Parfitt released this statement to the press:

First of all, has anyone ever noticed that it looks like the eagle is getting electrocuted on the FCC's official seal over there? Ker-ZAPP, take that, freedom! Anyway, earlier today in a party-line 3-2 vote, the good old Commission overturned a 32-year-old ban that forbade broadcasters in the 20 largest media markets from also owning a newspaper. Do you get the sense that everybody in the Bush administration is just kind of "shooting the moon" at this point? Like, "screw it, let's just do all the evil crap we want, who cares?" Both Republican and Democratic members of congress had asked FCC chairman Kevin Martin not to proceed with the decision, but the White House was gunnin' for it. Yee-haw.

After Led Zeppelin's "triumphant" reunion show at London's O2 Arena last Monday, the rumors of an upcoming tour were inevitable. E! reports that a set of dates in early 2008 seemed possible, and that a headline slot at Tennessee's Bonnaroo festival in June was also rumored. But alas, it's not meant to be: Robert Plant has set aside May for a European tour with Allison Krauss, with whom he made the critically-acclaimed album Raising Sand. Plant is also rumored to be the one Zep most opposed to the idea of continuing the band's successful tour, telling the Sunday Times that "a cavalcade of merciless repetition is not what it's all about."
But now the Belfast Telegraph is reporting that a local promoter is negotiating to bring the band back to the Northern Ireland city, where they played "Stairway to Heaven" for the first time in public. While that legendary show was at the Ulster Hall, the promoter says that venue is "too small" and that they would likely play an arena.
And finally, if you were one of the lucky fans who scored a ticket to the aforementioned O2 Arena show, don't throw out that ticket stub: NME reports that the crumpled scraps are going for up to £125 ($250) on eBay.

Is it a Lite Brite? An etch-a-sketch? An elaborate "NextBus" sign? Nope: it's a musical instrument. Tenori-On means "sound in your palm" in Japanese, and this eight-inch square little miracle (made by Yamaha) lets you make beats and loops by touching—well, caressing—its surface. The instructions are a little opaque: draw the wave form! Assign individual sounds to each key! Hold the key down to create a repeating audio loop! Huh? But the video of somebody who knows what they're doing making (an admittedly pretty noodly) little techno number is positively jaw-dropping. Watch it after the jump.
Tenori-On is only available in the UK right now, but with a low low price of $1200 you can afford a round-trip flight to pick it up for me, right, Secret Santa?

A study has found, duh, that most young women in college find pornography acceptable and view it themselves. As if you couldn't tell that from the way they dress and comport themselves.
Don't get me wrong, porn's fine. In fact, it's a girl's best friend. Quite the little time saver.
Whenever the man-of-the-moment started giving me the horny eyeball when I had a good book to finish or laundry to do, POP went the VCR. Most porn is so silly, with those pneumatic, ridiculo-boobs, and toothache moaning, five or so minutes in, a sister was bored and wandering off for a snack. The hard part, you'll excuse the expression, was snaking out of that feverish clawing with a fako-bacon, husky "I'll be right back" in a 1-900 voice he interpreted to mean that I'd be donning something uncomfortable and sleazy but which really meant, "I think there's some Chunky Monkey left".

Spin, America's Snottiest Mainstream Music Rag, and Rolling Stone, America's Grumpy-Old-Man-iest Music and Whatever Else They Damned Well Feel Like Publication, just posted their best albums and best singles lists, respectively, and there aren't really too many surprises. Spin goes out on a limb with their #1 slot, awarding Against Me's New Wave "Best Album" honors.

Military leaders said yesterday that they plan to accelerate the Army's expansion, adding 74,000 soldiers by 2010, not 2012 as originally planned. The goal, they say, is to relieve the strain on troops currently serving while maintaining the numbers necessary to continue the war effort.
Sounds great, right? Hire more soldiers, give the troops on the ground a much-needed break. But where are they going to get these people? Defense Secretary Robert Gates specified that the recruiting needs to be done without forcing anyone to stay or loosening entry standards. That might be tough, considering how much the Army has already had to widen its net to meet recruiting goals. In addition, a big part of the plan involves retention—convincing servicemen and women not to leave the Army at the end of their tours. While in a perfect world this might mean rest between deployments, practically speaking, it probably means more time in Iraq.
To top it all off, last time I checked, General Petraeus had announced plans for a troop drawdown beginning next spring. Bush endorsed the plan provided he saw evidence of progress. But given the Army's current numbers, a troop reduction is inevitable. Does the expansion push mean there won't be a drawdown after all? More likely that even with the departure of 30,000 soldiers, we're still planning for the very long term.

New York City again shows that the as one of only two American city cities* actually attacked by Islamic terrorism, it is the one perhaps most willing to embrace Muslims, immigrants, and its own rich cultural diversity. From Newsday:
The Empire State Building will be illuminated green this weekend to mark the Islamic holy days of Eid-al-Fitr (EED-ALL-FEET-er).
The joyous "Festival of Fast-breaking" marks the end of Ramadan, a month of intense spiritual renewal.
This year is the first time the famous skyscraper will be aglow for the Islamic holiday. A spokeswoman for the building's owner says it will be an annual event, in the same tradition of the yearly skyscraper lighting for Christmas and Hanukah.
In Islam, the color green symbolizes a happy occasion and the importance of nature.

I've blogged before about how much I love factcheck.org. They come through again with some real treats on the Republican debate in Dearborn, Michigan.
Former Sen. Fred Thompson got the facts straight for his GOP debate debut Oct. 9. But former Mayor Rudy Giuliani added to a lengthening string of exaggerations and misstatements:
Giuliani claimed Sen. Hillary Clinton once called the free-market economy "the most destructive force in modern America." She didn't say that. She quoted another author who said free markets were "disruptive." She also said free markets bring prosperity.
The mayor falsely claimed Clinton proposes to give $1,000 to "everybody." Her proposed subsidies to workers' retirement accounts would be for couples making up to $60,000 a year and would be $500 for those making up to $100,000.
Giuliani falsely claimed that more than 2 percent of the nation's gross domestic product is spent on "frivolous" lawsuits. The figure is from a study about the cost of all lawsuits.

One of the great enduring myths created by the American auto industry is that SUVs are safer than regular cars. The Ford Explorer rollover scandals in 2000 helped pierce this image a little, but Americans still seem to believe that an SUV is a safe place to store a family on the road. (The Frost children, in fact, who've been attacked by right wingers during the SCHIP debate were nearly killed when the family SUV slid off the road and hit a tree.)
The data, however, continue to show that most people would be safer in a Mini Cooper (or a minivan) than a Chevy Trailblazer. The latest news comes from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, whose new crash tests show that most SUVs perform poorly when hit from the side, even though they're much higher off the ground than other cars.
"People often think they're safer in one of these vehicles, but many cars hold up better than some of these midsize SUVs in this test," David Zuby, the institute's senior vice president, told the Associated Press.

Sen. Joseph Lieberman, chairman of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs committee, says that he has no intention of investigating Blackwater USA and other government contractors who have been accused of criminal action.
Lieberman said he gets "angry when I hear about fraud or corruption in the spending of American dollars," but "You've got to set your own priorities, and it was clear to me that other committees were going to pick this up."
Where I come from, the alleged murder of seventeen people is not classified as "fraud" or "corruption," but Lieberman sees it another way. His counterpart in the House of Representatives, Rep. Henry Waxman, is holding hearings on the Blackwater incident.

Halo 3, the violent video game that made Microsoft hundreds of millions of dollars in its first week on store shelves, is now being used to attract young men to church, the New York Times reports today. "Teens are our 'fish,'" one youth pastor wrote in a letter to parents. "So we've become creative in baiting our hooks."
The headline of the article is "Thou Shalt Not Kill, Except in a Popular Video Game at Church," which seems to be trying to paint church leaders as hypocritical for using Halo parties to get kids in the door, and then selling them the gospel. Sure, being against violent media and then using that same media to recruit churchgoers is hypocritical. But even though the author mentions evangelical opposition to violent games, he never presents an example of a pastor who condemned violent games and then used them for outreach. Without that, there is no evidence of hypocrisy. There are just some pastors disagreeing with other pastors about what is appropriate.
Simply believing in the 10 Commandments and then playing a violent video game is not hypocritical. Killing virtual aliens is not equivalent to violating the 5th (sometimes 6th) commandment, and it's insane for the Times to imply that it is. Most religious scholars agree that killing animals doesn't violate "Thou shalt not kill." Why would killing imaginary characters be prohibited?
But even if the author didn't want to hunt down actual evidence of hypocrisy, there were still plenty of other interesting questions left unasked. As I wrote in an article two weeks ago, the Halo games have always been an online playground for bigots of all stripes. Homophobia, racism, and antisemitism are rampant in the smack talk that is a staple of the multiplayer game. So it's especially interesting to learn that some of the young men (they're almost all men) who are playing Halo are doing it at church. Are they shocked to hear what other players say? Do their pastors insist that they play with the mute button on? Or, more disturbingly, are some of these young Christian soldiers and the hate-spewers one and the same?

A bit like America really. There it is rumoured that some stores pay signing on fees to new employees, so desperate are they to find people to man counters. And hotels need to pay $13 to launder a shirt. All this in a country where more and more shopping is migrating to the Internet, except you can't wash shirts on the world-wide web.
Back in the UK it is not just in the jobless figures that we are emulating our transatlantic cousins.
Inflation was pretty well zero last month in the US. We were not quite as successful here in terms of keeping the cost of living down, but there is little sign of any real upward pressure on prices. A strong pound helps, of course, but in the end it seems to be the power of the consumer that is holding down the price of goods. And this despite a feeling of wealth that seems so far to extend only to shares and houses.
What should investors be reading into these figures? Encouragement for a start. Low inflation helps underpin the demanding ratings presently enjoyed by shares. Sustained growth without inflation should also give some comfort on short term interest rates, although just as the Federal Reserve Bank chose to ignore earlier statistics suggesting over-heating in the economy, so they are unlikely to take much notice of these inflation figures if they really have set their heart on a quarter point rise at the end of the month.
That is what the market is expecting. We have been promised fiscal tightening, so I imagine that is what we will get.
But increasingly the talk is of some sort of correction in the US which will undoubtedly influence other markets. Influence is a euphemism if ever I heard one. We all know what happens when the US sneezes.
Except that some degree of decoupling appears to be taking place at present. Perhaps this is the time to start casting our eyes East, where already anecdotal evidence suggests that the corner has been well and truly turned.
Take the trading statement from GUS released earlier this week. Profits were down, although admittedly this had been well signalled in advance. Burberry, their tailoring subsidiary, had done particularly badly because of a downturn in the Far East. It seems they all like Burberry coats out there.
But the last few weeks had been altogether more buoyant. Could it be that those wily orientals felt confident enough to splash out on new outerwear? I know it is early days, but it does look to me as if we should start to view this area favourably as the long term growth prospect it used to be.
I know that some Eastern indices are starting to retrace an upward path, but it is still patchy in investment terms, while companies with oriental interests remain overlooked by the stock market. This is a natural reaction.
Overweighting the Pacific Basin became less of a policy and more of a habit in the Square Mile, the corollary being that America was dismissed as being over valued and vulnerable to yet another crash. We are still waiting. One or two investment managers have lost their jobs through perpetuating this approach, even when realisation dawned that the real investing power lay in middle America.
Now, of course, the professional money manager is unwilling to do anything other than give a modest tweak to the Pacific region.
In theory it should not take too much global cash to push it North again. In practice there are plenty of people who look at what the region is worth in global terms (less than 4 per cent of an international portfolio) and reckon that they have quite enough there already.
And if they miss out, what does the out-performance on a minuscule portion of your assets count for anyway?
For UK based managers the effect is even less significant. In the APCIMS Private Investor Growth Index not much more than 1 per cent would be committed to this region on a neutral weighted basis. Hardly worth the effort.
But if you do believe the time has come to start backing the region again, Fidelity South East Asia Fund run by K C Lee, looks as good an option as any.
Say the manager's name quickly and you could almost believe you are backing an American engine driver opening up the Wild West last century. Just my sort of fund.

East African runners have dominated distance running events for over 5 decades. Some explanations have been advanced to explain why such a small population has dominated distance running events over time. Suggested reasons include among others, a genetic predisposition, diet living at high altitude as well as socio-cultural background.
The continued excellence of East African athletes in distance running events continues to produce a lot of debate and interest across the globe. In fact, there has been an overabundance of opinions and theories aimed at explaining the phenomenal athletic prowess of the 'East African running machine.

1. Who is your favorite Naruto character(s)? Oh my god, there are so many I absolutely love, but for my top three, I would have to pick Shikamaru for number three, Kakashi for number two, and for number one... Itachi!!! (GO AKATSUKI!!!)
2. What is your favorite pairing(s)? AsumaXKurenai, NarutoXSai, ShikaXTemari, PeinXKonan (if there was a relationship), and SakuXLee (ha!)
3. Are you a Naruto Yaoi or Hentai fan? It depends which characters. I laugh so much at the Akastuki Pairings, but my favorites are DeiXTobi, KABUTOXORO!!!, NarutoXSai (mentioned before), and KakaXIruka
4. Ever Cosplayed Naruto characters? If so, who, where and how many times? It's funny, I've never cosplayed anyone... but I'd be an awesome Deidara (blonde hair, blue eyes) Wow, just parolling the streets in an Akstuki robe, hair pulled up, saying "un" after every sentence... that would be the life.
5. List your collection of Naruto junk and merchandise, if any: I only have one manga (the one with Team 7 vs. Zabuza and Haku). I have nothing, sadly, but i do have the internet!!!
6. Have you ever felt that you were destined to be with a Naruto character? Itachi... Just kidding. Maybe. Ah, not really, but some characters, (aka: Akatsuki hawt boys)... well, are very atttractive. There was no one I ever conidered love soulmates with (except for Kisame, but he could like be my best friend soulmate if i was in Naruto)
7. Naruto/Hinata or Kiba/Hinata? That's not even a question. NARUTO/HINATA. Period.
8. Sasuke/Sakura or Sasuke/Naruto? HA! I never really liked Sasuke, but i can imagine this big fight on who is going to marry Naruto, Sasuke or Sai. They fight, and end up killing each other in the process, and Naruto would have no choice but to live happily ever after with Sakura. I just don't see Sakura with Sasuke anymore since SasGAY left for Orochimaru for a three way with him and Kabuto... that would be epic yaoi lol
9. Which team is your favorite? Again, that's not even a question... TEAM GAI!!! Lee, Neji, Tenten and Gai are hilarious together and i love the rivalry between his group and Kakashi's group.
10. Do you support the Obito theory: (Tobi=Obito)? No, though sadly, it would work. I loved Obito, and i wish he were alive, but sadly, Tobi is Madara. :(
11. Do you support the 'Yondaime is Naruto's father' theory? I'm not blind! They look exactly the same.
12. Your favorite Akatsuki member? It always comes down to these type of questions that gives me a headache in the end of these stupid qustionaires. Umm... Itachi's a sexy beast, so I'll give the position to him, maybe Tobi or Kisame... AH, WHO AM I KIDDING?!? I love them all!
13. Are you Pro-Sasuke or Anti-Sasuke? If SasGAY were here right now as i type, i would stab him with my pencil, bury him in the ocean, and watch him get eaten by Kisame and his shark friends. That would be everyone's happy ending. :)
14. Have you seen all Naruto episodes so far (including Shippuden and fillers)? YEP! Gotta love Naruto!
15. Have you read all the chapters so far? I'm trying to follow them, but i never have the time.
16. Do you believe Naruto has ADD? HA! yep. Well, usually all of the time, but when he realized that Sasuke left or Jiraya died, he turned into a complete emo and started ripping off people. Poor, poor, ADD Naruto.
17. Sub or dub? Sub. Those Dub voices for the characters:
1. It makes Naruto voice sound like nails on a chalkboard
2. Deidara and Hidan sound like someone from GI Joe, or some really cheesy action cartoon
18. Pro-Sakura or Anti-Sakura? She's okay. I'l go with Pro just because i feel bad for her when SasGAY left to be a sex slave for Michael Jackson lol
19. Tobi = Annoying or funny? I love Tobi. He's one of the funniest people in Naruto with Lee and Gai, and possibly Shino (he cracks me up, being all emo and gangsta!)
20. Do you even know who Tobi is? *spoiler* (MADARA UCHIHA!!!!) love him!
21. Gai = Sexy beast or Ugly nerd? Best question yet lol. He's... interesting, he's not a nerd, but he's certainly not a SEXY BEAST?!?
22. Which character would be the best crossdresser? Neji in a ruffled dress, hair down and all. Deidara would be the obvious pick, but i don't think he looks like a girl at all.
23. Rock Lee = Weird or Awesome? I love Lee, and he's awesome. He's not Akatsuki amazing, but he kicks major a* with tai-jutsu
24. Which character would be best OoC? Who and how? Ah! The worst question! IDK
25. Do you like Naruto FanFics? As in obsessed, then yes ;)
26. Do you write Naruto FanFics? That's a stupid question. Why wouldn't I be on here?
27. Do you like lemons? Ah, this is a question Tobi would ask! But for the time being... no, i don't like lemons, but if life is full of lemons, make lemonade :)
28. Do your parents know about the Naruto characters? HA! Nope, even though they've been pretty observant.
29. Have you watched the Naruto Abridged Series? HAHAHAHAHAHA HELL YES. Zabuza was the best!!!!! If any of you haven't seen them, go to youtube. Now.
30. Have you seen The Naruto Ultimate Fanflashes? YES. THEY ARE AMAZING. More youtube :)
31. Have you ever gotten someone else hooked on Naruto? I'm secretly trying to get my friends hooked... hopefully it works
32. Have you ever been drawing Naruto in school and has someone recognized it? Well, i drew Deidara on the side of my notes in social studies class and this really tall kid starts looking at it, having the height advantage. He asked if that was me in a robe... and with an excuse, i had replied with a quick yes and i also took aware that he was peeping at my notes for the test so i told him to copy down his own notes or he wouldn't have a D in the class. XD burn
33. Have you ever been in class drawing Naruto and the teacher came up to you and said 'What is this'? Nope! (Thank god)
34. Has Naruto affected your school life and grades? No, but i think with all of this writing, it's getting me an A in english class! SEE? TV is a good thing!
35. Are you broke thanks to Naruto? Nope!
36. Do you want to read Icha Icha Paradise? *looks akwardly at reader* hehe... what are you talking about? (hides the book) lol
37. Do you support the 'Yondaime is the Akatsuki Leader' theory? Nope. Never once believed that Yondaime was the leader, and that was only because Pain was revealed before i ot hooked onto Naruto for the second time in five years
38. Do you draw Naruto FanArt? Yeah, but not much. I drew some of my characters form my fanfics, and actually, they're not half bad.
39. Is Sasuke still sexy in his second stage of the cursed seal? Dude, he has hand-wing things! Hell no, and besides, i think he wastes those good looks on Orochimaru and Kabuto (SasGAY!)
40. Do you have a Naruto OC? More than one, yeah. (Tetane Mikaze, Kaminari Akimatsu... ext in more fanfics)
41. Looking back at some of your answers, do you think Naruto has taken over your life? Probably lol

7. Madara
8. Konan
9. Might Guy
10. Sai
11. Itachi
12. Hinata
1) Have you read a five/ten fic before?
Nope... kinda don't want to... I don't know what Naruto would say if they did, and what their conversation would be. Sai comes walking in on Kakashi and says, "Kakashi, I need to tell you something."
Kakashi: "Hit away." Sai: "I think I'm in love with Naruto... I don't know what to do!!!!" The Kakashi sighs and says, "Go tell him. Scare the crap out of him. He needs it."
Yeh, that's how it would go if i wrote it. Ta Da! Thanks for the fake applause.
2) Do you think three is hot? How hot?
Oh boy... yesssss... he's cute, with his little "un" at the end and his cute blonde hair and blue eyes... omg i want to glomp him!!! Not really, but he's cute, not necesarily hot
3) What would happen if six got one pregnant?
If Killer Bee got Kakuzu pregnant... 0_0. I think Kakuzu would sue Bee for putting that drug in his drink last night.
4) Do you recall any good fics about nine?
Ha! Nope. Actually, now mentioning, I haven't read one about him in general. Hm... ponders through fanfictions
5) Would seven and two make a good couple?
Sakura and Madara, sittin in a tree. Hell no. Sakura, my advice, try to aim for a more younger Uchiha... maybe... SASUKE?!?!?
6) Four/eight or four/nine?
KISAME AND GUY!!!!! Yes!!!!!! Best closet couple you'll ever see. That battle was just the highlight!!!
Kisame: "You're my worst enemy."
Guy: "You're my best friend!"
Yeah, that's the whole fight. Hehe, I love both of them fighting each other.
7) What would happen if seven discovered three and eight in a secret relationship?
If Deidara discovered Konan and Kisame in a relationship... first of all, he would be like: "Un!!! Why do you have the girl?" Then Pain would come after Deidara tells on Kisame and... you've got cold blue sushi.
8) Make a summary of at least twenty words for a two/six fic.
Bee. Sakura. One mission... to get Naruto away from his obsession with Sasuke. Who's gunna win? The boss tone-deaf rapper and the pink haired knwo it all, or the blonde ramen eater who can't stop thinking about his emo friend?!?!?!? Hahaha... that won't work out.
9) Is there such a thing as a four/ten romantic fluff story?
I HOPE NOT!!!!! Too much blood and attempted yaoi!!!
"Sir, I hope you know that you're blue, right, Mr. Fish Face?"
"Samehada will have your head, gay man."
"Is that what I think it is?? A big noodle sword???"
"Penis, penis, penis..."
That would be the funnist story ever written on the face of the planet.
10) Suggest a title for a one/five Hurt/Comfort fic.
"The Hurt and Suffering of the Two Secret Perverts"
11. What kind of plot would you use for a three/eleven fic?
Well, there already is one (Deidara wants revenge against Itachi for his freaking Sharingan), but if i made one, it would be fighting over me!!! ^_^ *hearts*
12. Does anyone on your friends list read number seven het? What about nine slash?
Nope. My frieend loves Madara, though. For nine...Hehehe... no.
13. If you wrote a songfic about number nine, what song would you choose?
"I'm Not Wearing Underwear Today" Guy's THEME song.
14. If you wrote a two/three/six fic, what would the warning be?
WARNING: If you don't like excessive cheesy musicals about rapping, obsessions, and drama, step away from the computer screen.
15. What pick-up line might eight use on five?
Konan: "Hey there, grey hair... what'cha got there? A pervert book women? Well... *takes off cloak, revealing a slut outfit*...you've got me!!!"
Kakashi: *starts to droll excessively*
16. Challenge: Write a drabblefic for ten/eight.
Sai: "Ya know, I don't like women like you... too b*y."
Konan: "*pulls out origami of Sai* "This is you..." *starts crumpling up the paper* "...and this is you in a few seconds." *smiles innocently*
Sai *muttering: "This is why I like men."
17) What would happen if Seven walked in on Two and Twelve having sex?
Madara is anti-yuri. If Sakura and Hinata were piled on top of each other in Madara's bedroom he would say: "Ah!!!! You sick b*es!!! Get off of my bed and find a guy!!!" Harsh.
18) What kind of plot would you use if you wanted Four to de-flower One?
Kisame, being himself, would get Kakuzu drunk. I have no idea and I don't want any ideas on what 'de-flowering' means, but I feel like I have a dirtier mind than Kakashi... or Jiraya... *shutters*
19) Does anyone on your friends list read Seven slash?
Madara???? I love him, and my friend does too, but not that we know.
20) Does anyone on your friends list read Three het?
Nope. No Deidara het
21) Does anyone on your friends list write or draw Eleven?
I do!!!! Itachi Uchiha, hottest Uchiha and Akatsuki member!!! Um, hehe, I'm a big fan, and I have a really cute drawing of Ita-kun. And with writing... I'm here, arn't I? Check out Akatsuki Torture Story for funny stuff with Itachi, and for serious stuff, (when he's the hottest!!!), The Untold Story of Betrayal. Read and review... I beg of you!!! ^_^
22) Would you write Two/Four/Five?
Probably not. Kisame kidnaps Sakura and Kakashi comes to save the day with his magic Sharingan. Yeah, yeah, not that fun reading.
23) What might Ten scream at a moment of great passion?
"Naruto!!!! Penis!!!!!"
24) When was the last time you read a fic about Five?
A while ago, actually. He gets turned into a dog and him and Pakun go on this crazy adventure. I love that dog.
25) What is Six's super-secret kink?
Rapping, of course!!!! He's the best, maybe he can beat out Eminem for best rapper in the world!!!
26) Would Eleven shag Nine? Drunk or sober?
Itachi... AND GUY?!?!?!? Itachi would have to get WASTED!!!
27) If Three and Seven get together, who tops?
Thye would have this huge fight, but Madara would top Kakashi down. Pwned.
28) "One and Nine are in a happy relationship until Nine suddenly runs off with Four. One, broken-hearted, has a hot one-night stand with Eleven and a brief unhappy affair with Twelve, then follows the wise advice of Five and finds true love with Two." What title would you give this fic?
Kakuzu and Might Guy are in a happy relationship until Guy suddenly runs off with Kisame (HAHAHA I CALLED IT!!! FATE!!!). Kakuzu, broken-hearted, has a hot one-night stand with Itachi and a brief unhappy affair with Hinata (that's gotta be interesting...), then follows the wise advice of Kakashi (perverted advice) and finds true love with Sakura.
Um... HAHAHAHAHA, first of all, and the title... "Kisame and Guy are meant to be, Kakuzu!!!!! Geez, don't diss the defenition of SOULMATES!!!" haha best fanfic by far
29) How would you feel if Seven/Eight was canon?
Aw, thatd be so sweet, and I had always seen Konan breaking up with Pein and going with Madara, holding hands into the sunset... hey! That's not bad! *starts writing*
Random Stuff Questionaire
1.Do you like music?
Music is my muse, my passion... well, no s* sherlock, if you hadn't figured that one out yet. I'm listening to the sweet joy of iTunes right now.
2.Are you an Sakura hater?
Nah, she's just... hm, what should you call it, oh yeah. IRRITATING. She's nice, but her and Naruto's obsession with SasGAY has gone too far.
3.Gai or Lee?
Gai, only because he's a beast. And he's the funniest character. Hehe X3
4.SakuraxItachi or SakuraxSaskue?
No one touches Itachi, or a limb is coming off.
5.Do you like Karin?
6.InoxKiba or InoxGaara?
Gaara of the Funk needs a girlfirend big time. Go for it, Ino! They'd be kinda cute actually.
7.Do you think Hinata is cute in long hair?
Yeah, but not just that. She's been less annoying and quiet and then she finally has the guts to say to Naruto that she likes him and almost died for him. So yeah, the growing of the entire pixie hair thing must have helped.
8.Who are nicest Gaara or Sasuke?
Gaara. No question. I mean, seriously, SASUKE? Who would have that as an option?!?!? The guys is a total asshole!!!
9.Do you like to read fan fiction about Naruto and Sasuke?
Nope, unless it has Akatsuki or Ita in there somewhere (if you hadn't relized, i'm a big Akatsuki fan). If it has any of that yaoi SasuXNaru crap i'm going to throw up. No, no, no, NO!
10.Who are the cutest Naruto or Gaara?
Naruto. Who wouldn't deny that cutie when he brings in the bright blue eyes and the lip? AWWWWW
11.Do you think that Gai is hot?
12.Who are your favorite male character in Naruto?
Dei-dei. HAHAHA (And that's the honset to god truth, nd to me, he looks hot enough to be a guy)
13.Have you read SakuraxLee fiction?
shutters while reading this question to themselfs*
14.Who are scariest Itachi or Pein?
Pein. Geez, if you saw a guy with that many piercings in your life, why wouldn't you be?!?!? Omg, Purple Buggars, Carrot Top, Magneto Man (see my Totrture story if you want that to make sense)
15.What do you hate?
Terrorists. Dei-dei can be accepted, but if he comes alive and bombs my house, i will have his neck.
16.What do you like?
My droid phone, friends, family, music, pasta, New England, NARUTO, and more amusing crap like that ^_^
17.Are you doing a new story?
Yayz! Good question!! Um, i have four freaking stories to work on and update, and with The Untold Story of Betrayal, there WILL be a sequel, and with the Torture Story, there may be a spin off or something. Anyone who reads should freaking read anything at the bottom of the page!!!
18.Have you eat today?
Just had lunch. (Pinnaple pizza... WHAT?!? It's realllllyyyy goooooddd!)
19.Gai or Azuma?
Azuma-sensei. It's funny, everytime i hear or read his name i think of Naruto Abridged and their version of Azuma made me... wait for it... LOFLMAO.
20.Temari and shikamaru sitting in a tree kissing?
I like both of them together, so yeah, sure, why not
21.Do you hate Ino?
No, it's not hate, it's just... ANNOYED.
22.Ino or Tenten?
Same thing. If it's like at recess and we're picking dodgeball teams, then i'd choose Tenten because 1) she doesn't dress up like a skank in Shippuden, 2) she's one of the more modest characters, and 3) doesn't really obsess over Duck-butt Uchiha.
23.Do you like to write?
Um, would i be on this website?!? Well, to answer simply. Yes. Yes i do.
24.Do you hate Sasuke?
He's just one of those main characters that annoy the s* out of me and will bug the hell out of you until you give into what he wants. If i was literally in Shippuden, i would have challenged him as Tetane and kicked his ass (See Untold Story of Betrayal)
25.Do you think that someone hate your stories?
WHOEVER DOES WILL GET SHOT. Nah, i kid, but i suggest these people who don't like my stories not to write crap about it and move and an ignore it. It's just the more mature thing to do.
I also have a devaintart page, but it's nothing fancy. Just some drawings of my made up characters and one of Deidara and Sasori, so come check it out, my name is the same! ^_^
You see below? Those are my freaking stories, so I urge you, go read, and also make my day and comment!! I answer all comments on the next updates!

In the third of our series from Edinburgh, hear Ramona Koval in conversation with novelist and critic – and one of the most eminent figures of contemporary English literature, David Lodge. His essay 'The Year of Henry James' addresses those perennial questions: where do writer's get their ideas from and what happens when two or three of them get the same idea at the same time?

In the second of our major feature interviews from the Edinburgh International Book Festival, we bring you one of the major thinkers in the world of science, Sir Roger Penrose.
Now to the work of Sydney poet Stephen Edgar. Here's poetry reviewer Geoff Page with a look at Stephen's latest collection Other Summers. And he starts with a reading of one of the poems ...
The first in a week of major interviews from this year's Edinburgh International Book Festival – the legendary writer Harold Pinter.
As part of our ongoing tribute to the year 1956 we're now going take a look at the poem that changed America. This year is the 50th anniversary of the first publication, by City Lights, of Howl and Other Poems by Allen Ginsberg. And it still sells a bomb. In the 50 years since its first publication, this little chapbook has never been out of print, and the poem Howl is considered to be a literary classic. It's been translated into more than two dozen languages, is anthologised in high school and college text books worldwide, and a copy from the first print run is now worth several thousand dollars—even though originally it sold for 75 cents.

A recent visitor to these shores was the very successful English crime-writer Peter Robinson, who despite having based himself in Canada for many years now, still sets his crime series in the UK - crafted around the character of Detective Inspector Banks.
Readers of the New York Review of Books will know that some of the most fascinating personal essays that have been published in that august journal are those that are written by well-known writers about their friendships with other well-known writers, many of them as obituaries.
When Elisabeth Hanscombe read Helen Garner's book The First Stone, she says that it opened up her world to the possibility of a different form of writing and reading. In fact she idolised Garner, falling in love in a way. Without knowing it, says Elisabeth in an article in the September issue of Quadrant, 'without her knowing it, Helen Garner had become my mentor.'
In the second of our special features as part of Radio National's celebration of 50 years after 1956, The Book Show discusses the life and work of Canadian-American poet Elizabeth Bishop, who won the Pulitzer Prize in 1956. Bishop's precise and gently ironic studies of nature and the domestic world made her a favourite among other poets of her generation. And while her work's undergoing something of a renaissance in the US and elsewhere, she remains little-known in Australia.
One of the world's foremost experts on language talks about the momentous expansion in the variety and creativity of our language since the advent of the internet. Professor Crystal was awarded an Order of the British Empire for services to the English language over ten years ago, and is the author of many books exploring the way we use words, including a massive one to be published next month called As They Say in Zanzibar - Proverbial Wisdom from Around the World.
At various times this week and all over the weekend, Radio National programs are looking back fifty years to 1956. Of course it was the first year of television in Australia, also the year of the Melbourne Olympics, and a big year on the international stage, with the Suez Crisis and the Hungarian Uprising changing the political landscape briefly, or for good. In The Book Show this week we'll take a look at a few landmarks in the world of books and publishing. Today, we're starting with The Tree of Man, Patrick White's novel published in Australia in 1956. Richard Buckham looks at one famously critical response to the book from the poet AD Hope, and considers how White continues to make news.
Asne Seierstad is a Norwegian writer and newspaper and television journalist who was born in 1970 and studied Russian, Spanish and the History of Philosophy at Oslo University. She has worked as a war correspondent, first in Russia between 1993 and 1996, then in China in 1997. Between 1998 and 2000 she reported on the war in Kosovo for Norwegian television, and in 2001 she spent three months in Afghanistan, reporting for a number of major Scandinavian newspapers. In spring 2003 she reported on the war in Iraq from Baghdad.
Edmundo Paz Soldán is a prolific novelist but a relatively new name to English-speaking audiences. The Bolivian writer has just released his sixth novel, but it's only the second to be translated into English. The book is called Turing's Delirium, and it tells a very modern Bolivian story – but a story that also conjures terrible ghosts of the past.
Today, women's writing – is there such a thing? Did feminism put paid to the idea of a seperate female psychology? We hear from two Melbourne writers; Marion Campbell and Beverley Farmer.

If you are a parent or guardian and discover that your child under the age of 13 has a registered account with the Website without your consent, then you may alert Formative at firstname.lastname@example.com and request that Formative delete that child's personal information from its systems.
When a child under the age of 13 ("Child Member") requests to register for the Website, Formative first seeks consent from the child's identified parent or guardian ("Parent"). During the initial registration process, we may collect from a potential Child Member their email address and birth date, along with an email address for a Parent. In some cases, an Educator may be able to directly register a Child Member for the Website by the Educator providing to us during such registration process a username and password for the Child Member account. Formative attempts to inform the child's Parent, using the email address provided by the child or the Educator, of the request for a Child Member account and directs the Parent to this Privacy Policy. Please note that, although Formative will make reasonable efforts to inform the Parent following the creation of a Child Member account by an Educator, the Child Member account will be immediately active and ready for use by the Child Member upon registration by the Educator. If you are a Parent and wish to consent to your child's registration on the Website, you must first register for the Website under an adult account. If you are a registered Parent on the Website, you may create a child account, or request an existing child account to be assigned to your parent account, for each Child Member for whom you are a parent or legal guardian. A Parent may additionally revoke a child's permission to use the Website at any time by either contacting Formative at email@example.com or by changing the password for the child's account using the features provided for a parent account.

As a Parent, you understand that any personally identifiable information of your child that you or an Educator provide in connection with registration or otherwise may be used by Formative as provided in this Privacy Policy. Except where the context indicates otherwise, the remainder of this Privacy Policy (including any discussion of the personally identifiable information that Formative may collect, use or disclose) shall apply equally to a Child Member account and a Parent account. The Website does not condition a Child Member's participation in an online activity on the Child Member providing more personal information than is reasonably necessary for that activity.

Helping out the Stag Parties:
Unlike a typical Hen party (A Bachelorette party for my American readers) who tend to have a full itinerary, with every minute of their weekend planned and possibly even pre booked, stag parties (Bachelors) always seem to want to be drip fed for the entire duration of their visit to the city, with us taxi drivers inevitably being the ones who are doing the feeding.
Generally, this isn't too difficult a task, as Dublin taxi drivers tend to be well aware of which attractions will appeal to stag parties:
Daytime: The Guinness Store house and the Jameson distillery tour are always very popular maybe Kilmainham gaol if theyare interested in a little history (some are!).
We know what type of food they'll like: generally it'll be one of the gourmet burger type places Jo Burger is always a favourite and we can always recommend a good curry house if they are so inclined, after the pub a good Kebab from Zaytoon will go down well too.
We're aware of which Pub or night club will suit them, these can be age dependent, but Copper face Jacks is always a safe bet, having general appealto all ages and social types.
Some will want a decent Casino and the Fitzwilliam club fits the bill, your Taxi driver will tell you how Ireland's antiquated membership laws can very easily be overcome.
Most will also want to visit a good gentlemen's club and surprisingly, many find the subject can be a difficult one for them to broach, they will use all sorts of anecdotes such as: Where are the Girls?, Do we know any Friendly girls? Where are the dancing girls? Rarely will they say that they simply want a lap dance, unfortunately Dublin doesn't seem to cater for this as well as it might do, we certainly have nothing like (name) in Prague which was recently described to me by just such a group who were over in the Czech Republic on an earlier stag and were looking to go somewhere similar here, I sent them to Lapellos, I really hope they weren't disappointed!

One of the major issues in dealing with incontinence is preventing adult diaper rash. Adults who have to deal with either urinary or fecal incontinence can be at risk for developing rashes. It is important to understand that diaper rash is a form of skin irritation that comes under the category of contact dermatitis. Most of time, it presents itself as redness or as red bumps, but if it is allowed to develop it can turn into blisters or open sores. If the diaper rash is allowed to develop too far without treatment it can cause skin breakdown which puts the person with incontinence at risk for serious and even life threatening infections.
In order to prevent adult diaper rash it is important to know what causes it. One of the main causes of diaper rash is when the person with incontinence wears the wrong size incontinence undergarment. It is crucial that whether the person is wearing incontinence underwear or an adult diaper that it be sized correctly for the wearer. If the person is using incontinence supplies that don't fit they are far more likely to have rubbing or chaffing that can increase the chances of developing adult diaper rash. This makes it crucial that the person with incontinence or their caregiver choose the right size and gender of the incontinence product. Keep in mind that there are incontinence products for men and incontinence products for women.
Another major cause of diaper rashes is sensitivity to the chemicals and dyes that can be in certain incontinence products. This means that it is important to choose incontinence supplies that are not full of perfumes, chemicals, and dyes that can irritate the skin and begin an adult diaper rash. Many people who find that they have extra sensitive skin turn to using washable incontinence products next to their skin in order to minimize exposure to these irritants. If further protection is needed then disposable incontinence supplies can be layered on top of them. In addition, it is important to choose incontinence cleaning supplies that are fragrance free and are gentle to the skin. This also helps to prevent adult diaper rash from developing.
Another preventive step to preventing adult diaper rash is to make sure that the person who is wearing the incontinence undergarment has it changed as soon as it becomes wet or soiled. When sensitive skin remains exposed to urine and stool this opens the possibility of an adult diaper rash. If the incontinent person is not able to change their own incontinence undergarment the caregiver will need to be vigilant about changing it immediately.
Finally, the person with incontinence or the caregiver should take extra care to make sure that the skin is completely cleaned and dried. Again, if the incontinent person has difficulty with mobility the caregiver may need to take an active role in the cleaning process. This includes: using wipes that are specially formulated to deal with incontinence, patting not rubbing the skin dry and applying a moisturizer or skin barrier cream to help keep the skin protected. Keep in mind that this is especially important if the person is older since aging skin can be extra delicate and fragile. Finally, a clean incontinence undergarment should be put back on. Taking all of these steps will help to prevent the serious problem of adult diaper rash.

Racist abuse directed at Liverpool's Mario Balotelli on Twitter is being investigated by police.
The striker received a string of racist messages after he reacted to Manchester United's shock 5-3 defeat at Leicester City by posting: "Man Utd...LOL."
Merseyside Police have used the site to confirm they are looking into the messages.
"We can confirm officers are looking into offensive comments made on Twitter about Mario Balotelli earlier today," read a tweet from the force's official account.
When asked if they were launching an investigation, a spokesman for Merseyside Police said "yes, we are", and added: "As far as I am aware there have been no complaints but we have been made aware of it by a number of press inquiries."
Anti-discrimination body Kick It Out said earlier it was aware of the tweets and had reported them to the authorities.
The former Inter Milan, Manchester City and AC Milan player has been singled out for racist abuse in the past.
He was heckled by Italian supporters at a pre-World Cup training camp earlier this year and was on the receiving end of numerous instances of racist abuse during his time in Italy.
Balotelli spoke about the abuse in an interview with GQ earlier this summer.
"They aren't used to seeing people who are different, not white, who act not as rebels but normally, I think what the ignorant people don't like is that people who are different are allowed to act that way." he said.
"These stupid people, they get angry with me, they say horrible things, but I haven't done anything different from other people."

Black Friday, the start of the Christmas shopping season in the U.S. for millions of people, which follows Thanksgiving Day, is a day that many of us can't escape. Now, though, it appears the dark web it catching on and wants a slice of the money-making pie.
According to a report from Vocativ, those searching for a deal on drugs can get their hands on LSD tablets for $2; however, if they purchase ten of more they'll be given top priority and the ability to refund or reship their order if things go wrong.
To provide the upmost confidence to potential customers, the vendor of this deal offered to include ten free testing strips to the first buyer who wants to send their purchase to a Barcelona-based drug-testing service known as Energy Control.
The report went on to state that the most commonly sort after drug, marijuana, is being offered with one vendor selling medical grade marijuana at $100 per ounce.
According to an AlphaBay seller they are reportedly selling the lethal painkiller fentanyl on Friday at two and a half times than the ordinary amount of the drug. US News reports that one seller says

We all see something in our reflections on the Mirror yet no one else can but us.
The Mirror
I've got a story that I just gotta write, and
This is what I'm feeling right now, but
Just won't say it aloud or show of it, to
No one but the ones who read this;
I'm panicking as I can feel the only light
I've got inside of me and in this World, is slipping from my
clingy and sweaty palms
I just wished I could look at myself in the mirror,
you see, I am not always,
Full of happiness
and I can't always be there for you
'Cause you see,
I'm just to afraid to look, to see the
Dark minded
Clingy fool that I see
The person I hide from everyone,
the real me I don't approve of.
I feel the dull ache behind my eyes, and
I grow tired of this World that is both a blessing and a curse,
And I can feel myself slowly driving myself closer to this black void
that's always been inside of me
Choking myself to breath,
I grit my teeth as I try to subside this sick,
disturbing feeling in the back of my throat, and
in the deepest pit of my stomach
That doesn't even compare to the chilling feeling I get
at the mere thought of losing everyone I care about and being alone,
As I am not strong enough to be alone,
for I am a weak fool.
Can you truly still care for me,
even after reading this?

The Watcher in the WallsMature
Zircrii peered down into a room filled with aliens.
A mixture of skins and scales flowed together in an industrious mass among the tables. Sentients walked or rushed about. They sat at desks and waited in lines. It was a varied crowd, but not as varied as it could be. Only about seven or eight species, all told; and all of the types best suited for data-entry and clerical tasks.
The occupants most immediately noticeable were the massive Tehrists, who sat comfortably within the enormous office that was built to complement their statures. This was their space, after all. Members of smaller species were forced to stetch uncomfortably or use lifts to reach the tops of the tables, or to access the screens set high into the wall. The Tehrists didn't particularly notice or care about the struggles of their assistants. Lost in their own work, they peered at the intricate layers of data projected from their sleek desks.
They were busy, Zircrii noted with interest. The room was quiet, and that was highly unusual. Normally there was a great deal of idle chatter, and the workers would only prod at their charts occasionally. Here was a hive of focused industry, all individual elements invested solely in their tasks. There was something going on, for certain. Something gathering the attention of even the lower-tiered clerks.
Zircrii had no worries about being discovered. Even if the office workers below hadn't been completely absorbed in their own labors, she knew she would not be seen. It was a continual source of amusement to her that no one ever looked up. Had anyone, by chance, paused to glance up at the tangle of pipes criss-crossing the ceiling, she'd be in full view. The Ixiloki who almost certainly wasn't supposed to be idly watching the activities of a mixed-species distributions office. She supposed that all present were ground-dwelling sentients, with their feet planted firmly on the floor. They never had much occasion to look up.
Zircrii unhooked her tail from a support rod and clambered easily up the side of a large ventilation pipe. Without anyone noting her exit she left the office through a grid in the ceiling.
The paths between the walls were familiar to her. They had been her domain for much of her life. On this massive Tehrist vessel, where stretched miles upon miles of pipes and wires, she knew every nook and cranny. Gathering up her tool kit and tying it to her belt, Zircrii darted up the side of the shaft on six limbs until she found the narrow entry point she'd been searching for. Climbing inside, she crawled down the long tunnel with a startling speed. It did not take her long to find the area where she'd left off, abandoning her regular inspection. Promptly, she returned to work. Following the lines, making repairs. The usual routine. She had some freedom inside the walls, but if the overseer noticed work being neglected it would go badly for her.
Citizens of the Dynasty had learned long ago that Ixiloku made for ideal maintenance workers. Small, nimble, and able to climb anything, it became standard practice to give them the jobs where one needed to get into unreachable spaces. Ixiloku were spiny, armored invertebrates resembling a cross between insect and lizard. Slender in build, they had six limbs—with the option of walking on two or crawling on six. On their heads they had waving antennae and multiple eyes: one very large eye at the center of their faces surrounded by several smaller ones that reached back to the sides of their heads. They originated from a planet of sheer cliffs and thick jungle, where level ground was rare and predators common.
Zircrii had few memories of her home planet. She would dream of tunnels winding deep into rock and the vague forms of family members within. There were bright images of plant life, especially the massive, twisting branches of the Zibikkor, which were every creature's roads across the wide canyons. The images were fading with time, seeming more dream now than memory. What stuck with her most were the smells: sweet and spicy vegetation, intoxicatingly fresh meats; even the bare rock of the cliffs had a particular scent. Now, the only smells in her world were tangy metals, stale air and the musk of alien bodies.
A mindless hour passed as Zircrii continued on with the inspection. There was nothing to fix, but everything had to be monitored anyway. She followed the narrow tunnels situated under the floors and above the ceilings, checking off routes on a mental map as she went. Every now and then she could hear voices emanating from the walls; at times sharp and clear, and at other times too muffled to make out the words. Sometimes she stopped to listen if there was something interesting being discussed, but today she didn't feel like bothering.
A sudden tone sounding from the communicator on her belt almost made her jump. Well. Finally they'd found something for her to do. The tone was a summons for her to report to the maintenance office. Swiftly she exited the tunnel and found the familiar route to what was, for all intents and purposes, her home base.
Nolsh was waiting for her, as expected, as she dropped down through the ceiling vent.
"That's not a door, you invertebrate," he mumbled in his bored voice, as he had hundreds of times previously. Zircrii didn't bother to answer but simply waited on the details.
Nolsh tapped at a screen, regarding the blinking data with large, watery eyes. His kind—the Vrishig—were bony, feathered beings with long snouts and enormous eyes. A common and populous species, there were a great deal of them on this vessel as well as throughout the Empire.
"Power malfunction in Storage Quarter 6, Sector 37, cells 156 through 400." Nolsh droned. "Get up there and fix whatever's going on with the wires." He closed the screen; a wordless dismissal.
Zircrii bit down a hiss of annoyance. Those same storage cells again. She'd replaced the wires multiple times now. Unless the core cooling unit itself were replaced, the wires would just keep breaking. The whole thing was stupidly dangerous without a functional core unit.
"Supervisor," she addressed him, "there is a problem with the core unit." She spoke in her native language, but the translator soldered to her neck plates immediately repeated her words in Dynastic common. The scratchy, robotic voice that followed her everywhere.
Nolsh gave her an annoyed look, but she continued on: "I have fixed those wires too often for it to be a coincidence." Or that was what she tried to say, but the translator didn't recognize the word "coincidence" and instead replaced it with "meat-chair". What? "Coincidence." Zircrii enunciated. "Meat-chair", the translator insisted. Dratted thing. Even speaking as carefully as she could, the contraption consistently failed her. She wished, as she did every day, that she could just speak Dynastic common herself and not be reliant on a device that continuously made her sound like a complete moron.
She'd tried. Oh, she'd tried teaching herself to speak Dynastic common. Trying to force the clicking, trilling sounds that came from her mouthparts into a semblance of Tehrist language. The hours of struggle had been futile, so she had to be content with altering and updating the piece of junk on her neck herself.
Nolsh was giving her a weird look, so Zircrii tried again, using simple words to prevent the translator from malfunctioning. "The core unit is broken." She said slowly. "New wires will not fix the storage cells."
The Vrishig glared at her, then, and slapped the data screen hard into its wall-niche. "You disgusting lower life-form will crawl over to Storage Quarter 6 now, or I'll inform the overseer of your insubordination." His threat included some truly vile Vrishigon oaths, and Zircrii clambered back into the vent before she was treated to any more.
She didn't think Nolsh would actually contact the overseer, but one never knew. Nolsh was an idiot who tended to act on impulse. The Ixiloki shuddered, remembering the crackle of the electric prods. The last time she'd been subjected to them was when she failed to fix a waste pipe in a manner that was "timely" enough.
Feeling miserable and worried, she made her way over to the storage sectors.
