bingoparaphernalia:

Instead of going to school, my siblings and I, like many children from travelling families, were taught about the arts, music and dance. Our education was learning about wildlife and nature, how to cook and how to survive. I didn’t know my times tables but I could milk a goat and ride a horse. I could identify ink caps, puff balls and field mushrooms and knew where to find wild watercress and sorrel. By the age of eight or nine I could light a fire, cook dinner for a family of 10 and knew how to bake bread on an open fire.

Also see this story in the Guardian from June 28 about a terrorist threat to Romanian gypsies living in Northern Ireland (who, incidentally, are there because they are discriminated against in their own country). The situation for Roma and other gypsies in Italy has been worsening for years.

As a former Baptist, I am still interested in this kind of thing. It pleases me to see that there are still Baptist church associations and independent organizations that support freedom of conscience, which was once a foundational belief for Baptists. The Southern Baptist Association which I was raised in no longer practices this distinction.

So says Fangoria. By my estimates, it will be somewhere between terrible and god awful. Why ruin a perfectly good, creepy horror movie by Americanizing it? I imagine there will be the creepy cutaways and screams, and it’ll remove most of the strange elements and gender bending. Fuck all. This just puts me in a sour mood.

I still haven’t seen the movie because I was waiting until they released a version with corrected subtitles. has that happened yet?

No. They’re still terrible. It’s like the translation is meant to appeal to the stupid horror movie fan crowd, but this is clearly not a stupid horror movie.

Got this message this morning in MyToolkit about Medical Evaluation:

Complete. A decision has been reached regarding your medical review. Please look for a letter in the mail.

I can’t wait to get this letter in the mail. I’m pretty sure it means I’m cleared, based on my conversation with Tracey yesterday but I won’t be happy until I have the letter in hand!

medical clearance!!

Mon, 24 Aug 2009 17:41:30 -0400

I submitted that packet on April 3. And, at last, I got Unofficial, Over the Phone Clearance from my OMS nurse, Tracey (who is super nice, btw) today!! Now I have to wait for the official letter/(online) MyToolkit update, but basically I think I’m set.

This is the hardest part of the process, so hopefully soon I will have my invitation in hand!
