Intercultural Communication
So for my Intercultural Communication Class I have to do this on-line journal/portfolio thing. I thought I would post the link in case anyone wants to see how truly weird this class is and how weird the assignment is too. But in the end I sort of like it...sort of...

Top Five things to do in good weather in the town of EP and neighboring places
5.) Go to Meadow Mountain cafe although this is super duper fun in the snow too. But at least there is no risk of getting stuck in said place. It is also fun to stop at the spring and get some yummy water to drink too-and it doesn't matter as much if it spills all over because getting wet in the nice weather isn't a big deal.
4.) Southern Sun-yes most of these places will probably involve some element of eating but this place is super fun and a good place to sit outside and drink a homemade brew. Yes it is in Boulder but hey that is close enough.
3.) Take mountain walks. This could involve walking around Lake Estes, or Lilly Lake or something of the sort. But when the weather is nice it is fun to walk in such a beautiful location and look at the mountains.
2.) Chataqua Park, also located in Boulder. You can sit outside, go for short hikes/walks or eat at the restaurant there or catch a show. I saw the Indigo Girls and The Ditty Bops and it was a good time for sure. Except you can't drink except int he beer garden and it is super expensive.
1.) Oh gosh-I am going to say hike/walk to the Beaver Ponds at the YMCA. I did this in winter and it was cold and I couldn't see shit so I am hoping as the snow melts the potential of actually seeing a beaver is going to increase. Mmmm...beaver....This is actually really entertaining when you are walking with a former YMCA outdoor education instructor who knows everything about the area from teaching it so many times. "Hey Kathryn look at those rocks, those are blah blah blah blah. Hey Kathryn smell this tree-it smells like vanilla doesn't it?" "Fuck no it doesn't smell like vanilla and it is effing cold out here..." anyway...beaver ponds=good times...

Top Five Lesbian Movies
And the lists continue to pour in... some of these movies are specifically about lesbians some just have lesbian characters and some are just dyke cult classic movies
5.) Bend it Like Beckham: Gurinda Chadha. This movie isn't actually about lesbians but at one point I do believe they either think Keira Knightley's character is a boy or a lesbian. I don't know anyone who doesn't love this movie, lesbians included and it is all about women who kick ass in soccer (football.) And the rest of the cast is amazing too, especially Parminder Nagra-hott and amazing.
4.) Fire: Deepa Mehta. I wasn't sure about this movie at first I felt that the ending was too happy in some ways. But the more I have seen it and thought about it, when do you ever see two lesbians of color actually on screen together in a relationship? Very rarely. And when do they actually make their relationship work? Very rarely. And also the filming is beautiful even if over romanticizing the who lesbo thing.
3.) Chasing Amy: Kevin Smith. Many people would question my putting this movie on the list because it is about a lesbo who falls for a guy. I have a few reasons and here are the top ones. There are some great conversations filmed in this movie. The swing set where Joey Lauren Adams deconstructs "standard" notions of sex for Ben Afflex who thinks there has to be penis pentetration for sex to count as sex. Also when they are lying in bed and JLA is telling BA that the reason she began dating women was because she felt that she shouldn't cut women out of her population for dating and now she feels she should do the same for men. Reason number two-this movie is very honestly first and foremost about identity. JLA has a huge fit when she realizes that she will have to give up her whole life in order to date a man-oh how the tables have turned. And while we always think of hetero as a position of power, within lesbian circles I think there is a lot of pressure to be gay and when a person may choose to date someone hetero or trans they may fear losing their community. So I think this struggle is real and they portray it acurately with the women sitting around an apartment sipping wine discussing how they are losing another one to the land of the hets. Number three-JLA at the line "I loveyou Holden, I always will. Know that. But I am not your whore." SLAP!!
2.) If These Walls Could Talk 2: Jane Anderson, Martha Coolidge, Anne Heche. This movie which is an HBO television special takes us through three decades of lesbian drama starting in 1961 and ending in 2000. This movie has an all star cast including Vanessa Redgrave, Michelle Williams, Chloe Sevigny, Natasha Lyonne, Sharon Stone, Ellen DeGeneres, and Kathy Najimy. Although these stories all take place throughout time and are obviously historical and contextual they could all also happen right here in good old 2008. People are constantly denied access to their partner's hospital rooms because they are not real "family," butch lesbians and trans men tend to face more discrimination in general and trans people especially from lesbian communities, and getting pregnant and having children is something that is a constant battle for same-sex couples. I love this movie, despite the saddness-and there is some super hott sex scenes too.
1.) But I'm A Cheerleader: Jamie Babbit. This is my coming out movie for sure. I have seen it so many times I could probably recite the entire story. It is also great because the video store in Estes Park actually carries it (of course it is run by two dykes fo sho!) I like this movie and think it should be shown in entry level critical theory classes in colleges. Why? because it shows the ways in which gender and sexuality are so often conflated into one another. One is gay if they don't conform to stereotypical normative ways of doing femininity for females and masculinity for males. This is often miscontrued as not having normative sexuality. But as Jan proves you can play softball, have facial hair, and short buzzed hair cut and still want "a Big Fat Weiner." It is also so over the top that the point it makes is done in a comical and exaggerated fashion making it the fantasy of ture wo/man hood appear to be the huge phallacy that it is.
And there you have it my favorite lesbian movies (of the ones I have seen so far in my life...)

Top Five Pixar Disney Movies
Continuing with the List Making...
5.) Cars/Toystory: The Fifth place is a tie between Cars and Toystory. I know this means I should not have a number four but hey these are my lists and I am going to do them my own way so ha. Cars almost didn't make the list except that as I have watched it more I do like the story and the fact that there isn't really a bad guy. There's just Lightening against Lightening. And I like Mater as cliche and weird as that is. As a best friend Tow Truck his white lower class hillbilly antics seem to make sense and add some humor to the movie. Toystory. Well it was the first and while the animation was slow and not very developed I was still able to fall in love with the many different toys and the plot line of the movie. Plus it paved the way for Toy Story Two.
4.) Ratatouille: I love food and this movie has come out when things like Top Chef and Hell's Kitchen are at their peak. My only complaint with this film is that it seems to go on a bit too long, and it takes a while for some of the action to develop. But the stuff about food especially saffron-I just can't get enough. And once you get passed the whole rats cooking in the kitchen the movie seems to flow a lot better.
3.) Finding Nemo: Ellen as Dori the short term memory loss fish is simply hilarious. The story attempts to deal with disability (Nemo's short fin) and how you (people and fish should never give up). Plus surfing turtles...
2.) Toy Story Two: Why do I love this movie and it makes number 2? Jesse-nuf said.
1.) Monsters INC: This is by far the best and most creative of Pixar's Endeavors in the whole CG animation world. Not only is the story just good but you can actually "see" the animated fur on Sully, the shine on Mike's green skin. As I always said this movie made me want a pet child and I continue to want Boo to bereal whenever I watch this movie.

While I really like these movies, they are most definitely racist and sexist in that they tend to stereotype "characters" of color for instance in Cars making the low-rider a Chicano and never giving us a lead female role who isn't just a love interest or side kick think Dori, Jesse, etc...So I am still hoping for a hero on this one. Who knows maybe one day.

Dehlia Low, If That''s The Way You Feel
Dehlia Low, If That's The Way You Feel
So as I begin to write this I realize that knowing pretty much nothing about music really gives me no credibility or justification for thinking I can do this sort of writing, but I really liked this group and their music and feel that they deserve recognition. I saw Dehlia Low, out of Asheville, NC at The Rock Inn Mountain Tavern, a local restaurant/bar that has some amazing bluegrass music rolling through it's rustic wooden doors. DL combines traditional elements of roots music, with some country flair, while adding a contemporary twist to the music. As far as bluegrass/roots music is concerned as with most music it tends to be white male dominated making them a breath of fresh air.
And the women are fierce, between Anya Hinkle's haunting vocals and fiddle playing and Stacey Claude's guitar picking and amazing ability to harmonize making their songs sound as though they came straight out of Appalachia. Plus Hinkle likes to kick up her boots and isn't afraid to rock out to her own music which is really great and kind of funny to watch. There are also some dudes in the band that play the upright bass, mandolin and other traditional bluegrass instruments. No banjo which, makes my heart a little sad-but their sound is just so neat that in the end it really isn't necessary for all intensive purposes. This bluegrass band isn't one that makes you necessarily just get up, rock out, and dance til you drop, but they did make me want to sip wine and own their music, which, is perfect for my commute. It is just jazzy enough to keep the listener engaged without making you feel like if you don't dance you will miss out on the experience of "really being there" and getting that special feeling. They are also just fun enough to play an encore even though they were tired and sore winning them points in the minds of all drunk bluegrass fans at the show.
The specific song If That's The Way You Feel is sort of a melancholic love song about love and loss. The lyrics are simple, the harmonies spot on and the music in the background is soothing, yet makes you want to sing along. This is my favorite song although the entire album is really pretty amazing and I would highly recommend it as it is only $7 or so on itunes. You can actually also download their songs straight from Myspace and while there are no videos featuring them in concert or anything one couple did decide to make their anniversary video to one of their songs featured here:
So i am hoping that this gives DL some publicity and hopefully when they google themselves something other than Brent and Jen's anniversary video will pop-up!

My Top Five Regularly Animated Disney Movies
Continuation from before
5.) Lady and the Tramp: The tail of two lovers destined to be together but drawn apart by class status. What could be better and I always, ALWAYS cry at the end when the old dog uses his nose to track down the Tramp and gets run over by the cart. So sad...but so happy at the end with all of those cute little puppies
4.) The Rescuers: Multi-culturalism, saving little kids from the perils of evil and Moonshine . What could be better? Oh yeah the bluegrass music of the background...that could make it better.
3.) The Little Mermaid: My all time childhood favorite. yes it is sexist but at least she does something on her own even if it is for a man. Plus she's some sorta sexy washed up on the shore all nekkid and stuff...ok maybe tat is wrong
2.) The Emperor's New Groove: Fucking Hilarious, Kuzco-Topia, David Spade and John Goodman. Classic
1.) The Lion King: So this may seem like a cliche and whatever, but this is a great story and a total rip off of the oral history story Sundiata. And the movie is beautiful the characters are unforgettable, funny, cute, and slightly neurotic at times. It teaches kids a neat-o lesson about the life cycle and deals with death, revenge, love etc. The opening sequence paired with the music of Elton John is just so memorable I can't even believe it. I love this story, movie and even though I don't want to watch it all of the time because it is kind of like Titanic in that it is just so emotional I just really enjoy it.

In Honor of High Fidelity
In honor of the movie High Fidelity and Top Five Records I am starting a series of blogs on top five lists. The first is top five movies: genre music/musical
5.) Dream Girls: this movie makes the list because while the movie itself isn't the greatest and Beyonce could go eff herself-Jennifer Hudson is a freaking show stealer/stopper. She is honestly amazing as both a vocalist and an actress ad the movie world is lucky to have her in such a blah film.
4.) Hedwig and the Angry Inch: This movie is a cult classic much in the same vein as Rocky Horror Picture Show with more music and less dancing but equally insane plot lines and costumes.
3.) Almost Famous: Hold Me Closer Tiny Dancer need I say more?
2.) High Fidelity: This story does not make number one simply because of the memories it evokes in me. As far as plot and soundtrack are concerned this movie is an A++. My absolute favorite scene is when Rob and love interest Laura are in the rain and she says "Rob have sex with me because I need to feel something different than this."
1.) And of course the list would not be complete without School of Rock. Jack Black equals all time hilarity and small kids in this battle of the bands. I love this movie, think it is amazing and while not beautiful or profound is somewhat touching and inspired that whole spin-off show so I salute it.
of course anything with Dolly Parton, The Beatles, and John Travolta could also make the list but there just wasn't room this time around.

Song for Today: Leather and Lace
I went to a wedding this weekend and it was actually really awesome. The people were all happy (may have had something to do with the open bar) but it was cute and very non-traditional (hello they invited Jill and I to attend as a couple and asked Jill to play Joni Mitchell for them...) but anyway, I hate weddings and really really enjoyed this one. The last song they played before Glentucky started to Funkdown was Leather and Lace, Stevie Nicks and Don Henley and it is just such an amazing song I have decided to make it my song of the day.
Leather and Lace, Stevie Nicks and Don Henley
Is love so fragile...
And the heart so hollow
Shatter with words...
Impossible to follow
Youre saying Im fragile...i try not to be
I search only...for something I cant see
I have my own life...and I am stronger
Than you know
But I carry this feeling
When you walked into my house
That you wont be walking out the door
Still I carry this feeling
When you walked into my house
That you wont be walking out the door
Lovers forever...face to face
My city, your mountains
Stay with me stay
I need you to love me
I need you today
Give to me your leather...
Take from me...my lace
You in the moonlight
With your sleepy eyes
Could you ever love a man like me
And you were right
When I walked into your house
I knew Id never want to leave
Sometimes Im a strong man
Sometimes cold and scared
And sometimes I cry
But that time I saw you
I knew with you to light my nights
Somehow Id get by
First time I saw you
I knew with you to light my nights
Somehow I would get by
Lovers forever...face to face
My city, your mountains
Stay with me stay
I need you to love me
I need you today
Give to me your leather
Take from me...my lace
Lovers forever...face to face
My city ,you mountains...stay with me stay
I need you to love me...i need you to stay
Give to me your leather
Take from me...my lace
Take from me...my lace
Take from me...my lace

Estes Park finally getting a co-operative market
One of my largest complaints about living in Estes Park is that it has no cooperative market. After having left two places (Decorah and Columbus) which have great co-ops I was sad to learn that the EP had none. But finally after much avail and the flea market going out of business a co-op will hopefully be opening in Estes. They are still trying to get start-up capital through members and share holders which I am excited to eventually be a part of. This is kind of big news and I am so excited to see this project get off the ground. Yay progressive consumerist strategies!
Here is the link to what they have done so far...the Local Roots Co-Op
