[jezawitha-z]

Last year sabi ko buo na 2022 ko dahil nakita ko naman Autotelic. Ngayon Gracenote!!! 😭😭😭 So 1 year at a time babyyyy hahahaha

Napaka special lang ng gabi na 'to dahil 1st time ko mag attend ng mga gantong event na nasa pinaka harap. Tapos 2nd time ko mag attend ng music fest na MAG-ISA!!!!! Waaaah

I've been through a lot lately, halos kulang lagi sa tulog, trabaho tas kauwi halos wala na pahinga, literally stressful pero kinaya. Kaya deserve na deserve ko 'to 😭😭😭 I'm just really happy although nakakatakot magbyahe ng gabing gabi mag isa pero pusssshhh.

Blurb:

I’m the privileged youngest child of the famous McKallister family. He’s a runaway foster kid living rough. We were never meant to meet. This is where our story begins. It’s nowhere near how it ends.

Grace

The beat. The cheers. The thrill of the unknown. I shouldn’t leave the safety of the music arena—my last name is McKallister, after all, and I’m intimately familiar with worst-case scenarios. But I’m drawn by the talent and the turmoil behind the weary eyes of the drummer on the streets. I’ve never seen anyone my age as wild and unrestrained, a lightning bolt of electricity that never hits the same spot on his bucket drums twice. He plays with such confidence, such rage. I have to know who he is and where he learned to bang out drum solos like he owns the night.

I want to help him. No, to save him. If only Rory will let me.

Rory

When I play, I’m in my element. I know how to draw a crowd and how to keep them riveted. For a small period of time every day, I’m special. Talented. Going somewhere. Little do they know I’m going back to nothing: no family, no friends, no roof over my head. When the music ends, I fade into the background like the undesirable I am. And then she shows up, so pretty and polished and pure. I don’t expect her to stay and talk. I definitely don’t expect her to sit down on the sidewalk and drum a song onto my thigh. Yet here she is—anyone’s ultimate dream girl—promising to save me.

Too bad Grace stumbled upon me a decade too late.

Ian McDonald's "The Wilding"

I'll be in TUCSON, AZ from November 8-10: I'm the GUEST OF HONOR at the TUSCON SCIENCE FICTION CONVENTION.

Ian McDonald is one of those absurdly brilliant novelists that just leave me wondering the actual fuck he manages it. How does he cover so much ground, think up so many compelling characters, find so many gracenotes, conjure up so many complicated emotions?

McDonald burst on the scene in the late 1980s, with the 1988 novel Desolation Road and then his 1989 Out On Blue Six, a slick, stylized cyberpunk-meets-Orwell tale that overflowed with beautiful prose, technomysticism, and sly jokes that hid sneaky truths that hid even more sly jokes:

https://memex.craphound.com/2014/01/20/out-on-blue-six-ian-mcdonalds-brilliant-novel-is-back/

By my count, McDonald has now published twenty books – mostly novels, but a couple short story collections (and the most amazingly demented, Tom-Waits-inflected teddybear murder comic imaginable, 1994's Kling Klang Klatch):

https://irishcomics.fandom.com/wiki/Kling_Klang_Klatch

McDonald's work is truly globespanning. While he's made his mark on the Martian soil, and overtaken the moon with the Luna trilogy (his definitive rebuttal to Heinlein's Moon Is a Harsh Mistress) he is widely adored and much-awarded for the glittering, futuristic versions of Brazil (Brasyl), Tanzania (the Chaga series), and India (River of Gods).

Indeed, McDonald's imagination has roamed so far over the Earth and the solar system that it's possible to overlook his fantastic reimaginings of Ireland, the land where he was raised. There's his Philip K Dick Award-winning 1991 novel King of Morning, Queen of Day, a swirling, mythopoeic novel of Celtic mysticism:

https://www.baen.com/king-of-morning-queen-of-day.html

And then there's 1992's Hearts, Hands and Voices, which is lowkey one of the best novels I have ever, ever read – a scorching science fictional allegory for The Troubles, but with the gnarliest biotech weirdness you can possibly imagine:

https://archive.org/details/heartshandsvoice0000ianm/mode/2up

McDonald's books cover so much goddamned ground, but one feature they all share is a prose styling wherein every sentence is at least 20% poetry, a fraction that somehow, impossibly, rises to as much as 150% in certain especially shiny passages.

Like this passage, which opens The Wilding, McDonald's new horror novel that marks his first return to Ireland since 1992:

Autumn lay on the great bog in silvers and tans, late purples and duns.

The sun rose above the tall ash saplings and feral sycamore. It called the birds into full voice. Stabbing shrills, tumbles of notes, the flutes of dove-call, frantic ticking hisses, song upon song. In hedgerows and copses, among the pale foliage of the birches, in the weave of deep willow and the bramble fastnesses, each bird called and was heard. In this season the peatland held the day's warmth through the night and on the bright, clear mornings rivers of mist formed, filling the subtle hollow places in the exposed cuttings, the bogs and fields. High sun would dispel it but at this hour half of Lough Carrow lay mist-bound. Each blade of grass hung heavy with dew, the clumps of sedges were already browning, the bracken curling and crisping.

A pair of horns lifted above the willow scrub and out-grown ash hedges of the Wilding. Polished tips caught the low sun and kindled as bright and keen as spears.

Oof.

I would drop everything to read Ian McDonald's grocery lists but after that opening, I wasn't going to put this one down, and I didn't, reading the whole thing on yesterday's flight home from my gigs in Atlanta this week.

The Wilding is (I'm pretty sure?) McDonald's first horror novel, and it's fucking terrifying. It's set in a rural Irish peat bog that has been acquired by a conservation authority that is rewilding it after a century of industrial peat mining that stripped it back nearly to the bedrock. This rewilding process has been greatly accelerated by the covid lockdowns, which reduced the human footprint in the conservation area to nearly zero.

The story's protagonist is Lisa, a hard-case Dubliner who came to the bog to do community service after a career as a crime syndicate driver for hire, a woman who never met a car she couldn't boost and pilot in or out of any tight situation. After years in the bog, she's ready to start a new life, studying Yeats at university, indulging a late-discovered love of poetry that has as much to do with her redemption as her years in the wild.

Lisa's last duty before she leaves the bog and goes home to Dublin is leading a school group on a wild campout in one of the bog's deep clearings. It's a routine assignment, and while it's not her favorite duty, it's also not a serious hardship.

But as the group hikes out to the campsite, one of her fellow guides is killed, without warning, by a mysterious beast that moves so quickly they can barely make out its monstrous form. Thus begins a tense, mysterious, spooky as hell story of survival in a haunted woods, written in the kind of poesy that has defined McDonald's career, and which – when deployed in service of terror – has the power to raise literal goosebumps.

There's a lot of fantasy that deals with Celtic mythology, including McDonald's own King of Morning, Queen of Day, but the vibe of that stuff tends to the heroic and romantic – sure, there's the odd banshee, but in the main, it's mischievous wee people, pookas, and leprechauns. More fey than fear.

But Irish mythology in its raw form is terrifying. The monsters of Irish storytelling are grotesque, mean, remorseless, and come in every shape and size. Some authors have done well by going back to the bestiary for the deep cuts. When I was a kid, I must have read John Coyne's Hobgoblin fifty times (mostly because it was about D&D, which I was obsessed with). I haven't read this one since I was about 12, and I have no idea if it'd hold up today, but it left me with a deep appreciation of the spooky multifariousness of monsters who dwell in Ireland's bogs:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hobgoblin_(novel)

The Wilding is a suspense novel, which means there's no way to really sum up the plot without spoiling a lot of the affect, but suffice to say that McDonald brings large swathes of deep Irish lore to the surface, and it had me reading as fast as I could and wanting to put the book down and hide.

What a writer McDonald is! The fact that this is the same guy who wrote last year's stunning secret-history/solarpunk/uncategorizable wonder that was Hopeland beggars belief:

Read you some Ian McDonald novels, is what I'm trying to say. This one is only available in the UK, if that's not where you are, consider mail-ordering it. Looks like they've got stock at Forbidden Planet for £19 plus £18 shipping to the US. Worth every penny:

Még egyszer az olimpiáról

Na nem arról van most szó, hogy milyen volt a Szajna vize, kit sértett meg/miért volt remek a megnyitó - inkább arról, hogy miért is vagyunk "sportnagyhatalom." Ez pedig összefügg valahol a belefeccölt pénzzel és az átlagos mentalitással (á la: ha nem az aranyért mész ki, akkor egy gerinctelen álmagyar vagy).

Szóval most ki van adva az enesónak, hogy a környező országokhoz mérjük magunkat - lásd: https://www.nemzetisport.hu/parizs2024/2024/08/erodemonstracio-parizsban-szollosi-gyorgy-jegyzete

Nyilván Pogi Gyurinak ki volt adva az is, hogy végig dehonesztálóan írjon az eseményről (hiszen a mi álmainkat törték össze ugye anno), de ha már most ezt a tárcát így kinyögte, akkor pár dolgot igazán leszedhetne az archívumból.

Pl. ezt: https://www.nemzetisport.hu/parizs2024/2024/07/nyolc-nyolc-kilenc-deak-zsigmond-jegyzete

A szerző itt még arról is ír, hogy az enesó kollektívája még lefelé kozmetikázta a becsléseit, miközben "nem tudja komolyan venni" a Gracenote-t, mert a cég folyamatosan változtatta, igaz egyre pozitívabban a becsléseit. Amúgy nagyjából bejött a Gracenote becslése.

A 19 szerzett érem egyáltalán nem lebecsülendő, de a Deák Zsigmond-féle 25-től jócskán elmarad. S bizony az éremfetisizmus visszaköszönt a kommenteknél is, sőt: https://www.nemzetisport.hu/parizs2024/2024/07/schmidt-adam-elfogadna-ha-23-ermet-szerezne-a-magyar-kuldottseg

valamint

https://infostart.hu/sport/2023/12/17/gyulay-zsolt-akar-10-12-olimpiai-aranyat-is-nyerhet-magyarorszag-parizsban

Az élsportba rengeteg pénz megy világszerte, és talán itthon jobb felhasználással, nem pedig zsebtöméssel lehetne is realitás ennyi érem, ez így viszont csak arra lesz jó, hogy megkérdőjelezzék a befektetett munka ár/érték arányát. Vagy takarózhatunk a "regionális sportnagyhatalmi" státuszunkkal, amely izzadtságszagú, mert nem ezt kellene kommunikálni jobb esetben, nem ez volt előre megbeszélve.

De mi akkor is győzünk, ha vesztünk, hiszen minden meccs addig tart, amíg meg nem nyerjük.

Amouage Interlude Man

Amouage Interlude Man

Nose: Pierre Negrin

notes: oregano, pepper, bergamot; incense, opoponax, amber, labdanum; oud, leather, sandalwood, patchouli

Interlude Man opens with a dense, sweet, medicinal-herbal resin; a little odd, but salubrious.

Then in a few minutes the sweetness drops away and we’re just left with a dry peppery oregano gracenote over a yawning abyss of darkness.

No, really. It’s hard to describe as a smell, it’s more of a sense. Darkness, eerie whistling wind, impending doom. Haunted-house vibes. And pleasant dry herbs.

Over the next hour the medicinal-resinous chord returns. it has an interesting hollow, chilly quality. And that’s mostly what ends up dominating the drydown: eerie medicinal resin, with occasional flickers of plain vanillic caramel.

Interlude is…interesting. it’s a controversial scent, to judge by the reviews. The herbal-medicinal quality is more unusual than pleasant, even for me; the overall effect is Gothic and spooky, in sort of an autumnal, garden-gone-to-seed style, that feels very appropriate to late October.

God bagpipes are stupid.

Gracenotes are so fucking stupid.

Why do they all have to play caddywumpus with the stupid beat.

Ooo grips have to end on the beat. Doublings have to be on the beat.

Why can't you just pick a side!!

[onewordenglish]

Kagabi lang ako ulit nakaattend ng gig ng paborito kong banda, ang Gracenote. Hindi planado pero nagtanong lang ako sa kasama ko ng "kelan tayo maggig?" tapos sinend nya sakin yung sched, edi ayon meron palang gig ng Tuesday sa 12 Monkeys.

Sabi ko magkita nalang kami sa Starmall Shaw at don na kumain, nagcrave na naman ako sa Marugame, pinacheck ko muna kung meron don kaso wala daw :( Edi ayon nauwi na naman sa Mcdo. Hahaha pero okay lang kasi busog naman.

Nakarating kami ng mga 8:30 siguro sa venue, medyo konti pa lang ang tao at hindi pa nagstart. First time namin manood sa 12M, pero yung dating pwesto nila sa likod ng megamall ay ilan beses na kami nakapunta. Mas malaki yung pwesto ngayon. Umorder muna ako ng san mig light, yung tipong isang bote palang malalasing kana kasi ang mahal 170 ba naman. Hahaha.

10pm na yata nagstart tumugtog yung unang banda, buti tatlo lang. Tapos last yung Gracenote, kaya tumayo na kami, kasi pag tumutogtog sila nagmomoshpit kami eh. Hahaha. Nakakamiss grabe. Dati kasi before pandemic, nakaka3 gigs ako per week or higit pa. Samantalang ngayon eh kung kelan lang maisipan.

After nila tumugtog nakikipagkwentuhan yung banda samin, nagpipicturan. Swerte lang namin kasi matagal na kaming fans kaya kilala na kami at ang dali dali pang magpapicture.

Nung nakita ako ni Eunice (vocalist) sabi nya "lika dito lika dito" paglapit ko sabi nya "kamusta kana, okay kana?" nakakausap ko din kasi sya sa viber minsan at nakakapagshare ng konti. Tinanong nga din ako kung ano ginawa ko kasi ang payat ko na, yung usual na sinasabi ko na "tamang stress lang at samahan ng sama ng loob" natawa sya pero tinanong nya ako ano nakakapag pastress sakin, tawa lang naman ako ng tawa kasi dinadaan ko lang sa biro ang lahat. Hahaha. Sabi pa nya "sabihin mo sakin, tara gawan natin ng kanta" --- kung di lang ako nakapagpigil baka nagshare na ako e. Hahaha.

Si Jazz (bassist) naman, tinanong ako bakit ako nakadeact sa fb, sabi ko nalang secret. Pinipilit nya ako magsabi. Ayoko nga. Pero ang sarap pa din sa puso ng tinatanong eh. Alam mong may pake.

Dami din bagong fans na nanoood, nakakatuwa at nakabonding din namin sila. May pagplano na nga ng swimming sa Pansol, ewan kung matutuloy. Ang sarap din makakilala ng mga bagong tao eh. Wow sawa na sa luma. Hahaha. Napakasaya lang ng gig kagabi. Lagi naman talaga masaya. Hindi nakakasawa, iba talaga pag mahal mo no?

Share ko lang yung latest single nila "tigil"

Tigil nalang natin 'to

Pigilan natin 'to

Tigil nalang natin 'to

At alam kong walang patutunguhan

Wag na natin ipilit pa

[bdsrsated]

sa wakas nakita ko rin yung idol ko Ma'am Eunice Jorge layo kase ng gig nila ok lang kung sa Moa, Ayala Mall Manila Bay, Cavite or Las Pinas. Pero Happy ko dahil may picture ko susunod naman autograph po
