What it Means to be "Friend-Friends" With Creatures of the NIght on Grave Mood Rings (2024)

[bitter1stuff]

What's with the Dracula?

Sometimes the Grave Mood Rings people are nice enough to use a script I send them. So you'd think I'd know what's going on! Never fear: This interview with Scott Baker Graham explains absolutely everything you need to know about GMR; which means it tells you absolutely nothing! Turn off your mind, relax and dog paddle downstream. It is beginning...

[merelygifted]

Seconded! I'm a Vitchm'holic, and irresponsibly binge watch Grave Mood Rings every chance I get. You can Viscount on that!

I checked out the web series of prolific esoteric blogger @danskjavlarna recently. It's called GRAVE MOOD RINGS and is quite intriguing and bizarre! There are a bunch of episodes (which are a couple minutes long each) that feel like something you'd see on a late night public access show or in a forgotten corner of an old adult swim timeslot. Each episode consists of a snippet of a tv show broadcast that gets interrupted to air a slow old Dark Shadows-like Victorian horror serial (which, more often than not consists of two characters having a strange and/or funny conversation fit for a 3 panel comic strip). The humor is quick, evoking a mix of Space Ghost Coast to Coast, Monty Python, Arrested Development, and Firesign Theater. I highly recommend checking this out if you get a chance. (I particularly like the use of sound effects).

Manchester Engineering Campus Development News

Design: Mecanoo with Penoyre & Prasad, and BDP

Location: Manchester, North West England, UK

Construction completed on UK’s largest engineering campus at The University of Manchester

19th of May 2021 – Construction of the largest home for engineering in any UK university has been completed. With the conclusion of the base build phase, the Manchester Engineering Campus Development (MECD) was handed over to the University of Manchester on Friday, 14 May 2021.

Delivered by a collaborative team of builders, architects and engineers, MECD represents the single largest construction project ever completed by a higher education institution in the UK. Building design was undertaken by Mecanoo with support from Penoyre & Prasad, with detailed design during the technical and construction stages by BDP, and multidisciplinary engineering services provided by Arup. The main contractor was Balfour Beatty and it was project managed by Buro Four, with Buro Happold as the Environmental Sustainability Advisor.

MECD will provide world-class sustainable research facilities, alongside flexible and innovative teaching and learning spaces that will enable students to shape their own learning environment. It will house a community of 8,000 students, researchers, academics and professional services staff. This will be the largest concentration of interdisciplinary engineering expertise in any UK university.

The development incorporates a number of existing and new buildings: the eight-storey 80,000sqm Engineering Building A; Engineering Building B and the James Chadwick Building (on Upper Brook Street); refurbished Grade II listed Oddfellows Hall; and the York Street Building. MECD is home to purpose-designed blended lecture theatres, teaching laboratories, student workshops and a range of spaces to support ambitious outreach and social engagement initiatives.

The University of Manchester is committed to Environmental Sustainability, with MECD being the first project to appoint a dedicated Environmental Sustainability Advisor to develop and drive the University’s comprehensive sustainability targets throughout the project’s life cycle, including a BREEAM Excellent rating, a new active travel hub and green roof.

MECD is part of a world-class research and innovation hub and immediately adjacent to two flagship centres of excellence – the National Graphene Institute and the Henry Royce Institute, the UK’s national institute for advanced materials research and innovation. The University of Manchester is ranked as the world number one in the THE Impact Rankings and this investment will ensure that Manchester continues to be at the forefront of delivering world-class research.

Director of Estates at The University of Manchester, Diana Hampson, said: “This is a hugely significant milestone for MECD and we are delighted that the initial construction phase is now complete. MECD will create facilities that will put the University at the forefront of engineering globally, and we are proud to provide such an exceptional space for our exceptional people. We’d also like to thank all the various partners and stakeholders in getting us this point, it really has been a hugely collaborative effort.”

Professor Martin Schröder, Vice-President and Dean of the Faculty of Science and Engineering said: “MECD affords an exciting new environment for the delivery of interdisciplinary research, teaching and impact across engineering. We are eager to progress towards populating MECD with our staff and students, creating an inspiring, highly flexible first-class teaching and research environment that transforms the way in which the University educates engineers for the future.”

Francine Houben, Creative Director and Founding Partner of Mecanoo, said: “With the MECD, we are super-proud to play a big part in Manchester’s rise to become a centre for 21st century innovation. As the first city of the Industrial Revolution, it is a fantastic base for new engineering revolutions which will inevitably be born on the MECD campus. MECD is a key part of Manchester’s new urbanism, physically extending the city centre into its academic axis, and combining epic scale with connectivity, heritage and new public space for everyone.”

Paul Owen, Architect Associate at BDP, added: “The challenge for a project of this scale is to deliver a huge variety of adaptable spaces that support world-leading research, whilst encouraging cross-discipline collaboration and development in a city centre location. The result is a vibrant collaborative environment that supports multiple research methods. We are sure it will inspire future generations of engineers and material scientists to pioneer amazing discoveries.”

Mark Pearson, Balfour Beatty Project Director, said: “We’re extremely pleased to have reached this critical milestone on such an important project – one that will transform the way in which the University of Manchester educates our future workforce of engineers.

“Despite the challenges we have faced over the last year as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, works have progressed at pace with our expert team achieving final completion ahead of schedule. This significant achievement is truly testament to the strength of our collaborative culture and dedication as a project team.”

Eleanor Binns, Project Director at Buro Four, said: “A project of this scale with the extent of varied technical & functional requirements is complex from a project and programme management perspective and successful delivery can only be achieved through collaboration, commitment, planning and control. Through the expertise and efforts of the entire team, coupled with a strong vision from the client, we have reached this major milestone in the delivery of a world-class facility that will not only inspire the next generation of engineers, but is flexible and adaptable to accommodate the fast-paced change of research, teaching and workspace environments. A fantastic achievement and we look forward to seeing the building in its full use.”

Dr Tim Whitley, Director at Arup and Visiting Professor to The University of Manchester School of Mechanical, Aerospace and Civil Engineering, added: “It’s been fantastic to have contributed to the design and construction of the University of Manchester’s latest flagship development. The whole team has worked together to deliver a sustainable building where over 30% of spaces are naturally ventilated as part of a low carbon, energy efficient fabric first design, with flexible accommodation for high quality research and teaching for now and into the future.”

An alternative use for a deck of Inked Adventures Map & Dice Playing Cards

This was just so "out there" that I really must share it. :) I keep meaning to make a video or animation of how the Inked Adventures Map & Dice Playing Cards can be used before or during a tabletop roleplaying session, but I never get around to setting up a camera in the right environment (or hijacking a someone else's D&D campaign). Being a deck of playing cards they can have many alternative uses. The following video was sent to me from within the wonderful world of Professor Oddfellow, an open-minded explorer of the esoteric. Although the cards not originally intended as a tool for divination, I feel honoured here that the Map & Dice Playing Cards have been employed here for a reading of the year ahead. Take from this what you will, but the Professor demonstrates well the laying out the cards to create a labyrinthian dungeon, whilst reminding us of the metaphorical and spiritual significance of the maze for navigating the challenges of daily life. The text descriptors on the cards were always intentionally abstract to give inspirational flavour to a game location without disrupting what the Dungeon Master had chosen to populate the area with. In some ways this was a passive form of "story-telling" through a dungeon - the events and people that make up the history of an ancient "living" dungeon. Curiously, these area names and descriptiors lend themselves well to the narrative of an oracular reading. Utterly fascinating! (By the way: A "haunted mirror" is not essential for the enjoyment of these cards) Enjoy. :) http://www.oneletterwords.com/weblog/?id=31080

01 - Committee Members

Winthrop VCOM Faculty Member

G. David Brown, more colloquially known as Doc, is extremely well versed in many areas of illustration such as medical illustration, scientific illustration and portraiture. He has a M.A. in Medical Illustration from University of Texas Health Science Center and A.B. in Visual and Environmental Studies from Harvard University. He currently works in the College of Visual and Performing Arts as an Associate Professor of Design where he has been teaching since 2005. Prior to that, Doc has demonstrated his comprehensive skill and knowledge as a medical-legal illustrator before becoming the owner and illustrator of Synapse Media Productions, Inc. I chose Doc to be on my committee because his extensive knowledge of illustration, animation, and storytelling will prove to be valuable assets to my thesis. I hope to learn how to effectively create and tell a story to a targeted audience.

Jesse Weser is an Assistant Professor of Design here at Winthrop University. Jesse has also obtained her B.F.A. Masters in Design from the Domus Academy in Italy and spent some time at Moonlight Creative. I want Jesse on my committee because she has a way of seeing things that goes beyond the surface level and provides insightful critique. I hope to learn this skill of approaching a problem to some degree so that my designs reach a more deep and meaningful level.

Non-VCOM Winthrop Faculty Member

[dcriuswrites-blog]

My dear Alex,

I know that you are very likely gone, but I was hoping that you wouldn’t be. I hope you get this letter, because I didn’t get to say what I wanted to when we saw each other last. 

I loved you the first moment I saw you, not at the cafe, not when we were paired together as partners. I saw you in First year, in Introduction to Comp. You were sitting in the back row next to that infuriating redhead, I think her name was Melissa or something, she was a compulsive gum chewer and she switched to Marketing or something in Second year. I am rambling again, but this time it’s because this is the hardest thing I have ever had to write and I really am trying to find a way out of it.

Regardless, I fell for you immediately, as you sat at the back with a journal like mine, only I didn’t know that at the time. I just knew that you seemed to be scribbling all the time, spilling your secrets to crisp pages in that beautiful scratch of yours. I knew that you were perfect because I did the same thing. I knew at that moment that I would do anything to meet you.

Of course, I didn’t for years. I was in your class on and off over the next four years and I would try to convince myself that you could never like a girl like me, I was convinced until one day, I was in Professor Lynwell’s office after class, talking about the upcoming partner assignment. I didn’t want to work with anyone, I was too scared. But then Lynwell asked if I would participate if he paired me with you. It was mortifying, but I guess when you stand in front of a class for four years, you pick up on a few things. I thought you should know that, before you cut me out forever. 

I am looking for a way out of this situation. The one where we give up all our dreams, the townhouse, the dog, the take out and the pantslessness. Where you make me so happy that even me, with my English Lit minor, can’t find the words to describe how happy you make me. You make me happier than cucumber sandwiches on the sunniest of days. Happier than Frank Sinatra and Sabrina and Jane Erye and Thai Food and No Pants. Combined. 

I don’t know how else to convince you to stay, to pick me. I will support you, and your potential child. I love you that much. But pick me. Pick us. Pick laying in bed after sex, pick vinyl shopping and finding a new pizza place. Pick Lucy June, toothpaste drink when Barbie comes to stay and neck pain for both of us because we can’t stop kissing.

There is not really anything left I can say, other than I love you more than I have ever loved anyone or anything else on this planet, in this galaxy or the whole damn universe. I am moving to Seattle this Saturday, I got a job writing for this small band out there. They sounds great. They are going places. If you love me, you will come to Little Oddfellows, I hear they have great green tea. I will be there from noon till four on Sunday. 

I love you,

Honey
