False, I don't hate him. I'm not fond of a few of his films, though.

The person below me has a favorite movie that none of his friends have seen.

Watching "Sherlock Holmes." Finally got it through Netflix yesterday.

I genuinely hoped they paid Alan Moore for several of the aspects that seem entirely lifted out of "From Hell."

Watched "Sherlock Holmes" today. It was OK, but I wasn't as amused with it as I thought I'd be.

I'm not sure how or why people say it's steampunk. There are no forms of technology that wouldn't otherwise exist in that period that are running on steam. I guess, because people go, "Oh, Victorian London. Bravo, that's steampunk!"

It's more electricpunk, if there's a word for it.

Where the hell is Xeo? This is going on in his neck of the woods. I need a local's comment on this.

Yeah, I read over the next page of her demands for herself. What a cunt.

I mean, it's definitely out of line for her son's teacher to be hitting him, but really?

I mean... I don't... I... I need to lie down.

True-ish. I'm a journalist and usually the most profound quotes make it into stories. I don't just randomly quote scholars, philosophers, and famous people, though.

The Daily Titan article is here.

Covering a convention this weekend for my friends' blog. It's Pacific Media Expo.

And it's my dad's birthday today, Stitch's birthday tomorrow, and I'm sick.

So much homework to finish before we get fall break the week after next. Then I'll be in Arizona.

OK, so my dad got "Wild Wild West" for his birthday. Oddly enough I'd felt like watching it because of how steampunky it is.

I'd seen it a couple times when it came out in '04. I didn't think it was all that great then. It's still not all that great, BUT I appreciate some of the little things a little more.

It's been an exhausting weekend. The convention took a lot out of me, and I've had so much trouble walking at night from my feet being to worn out.

Today was pretty tough. Had to help friends empty out their warehouse that flooded when I got done with the convention.

God, this week will suck. I've got so much work to do that's due this week, plus what's due after Thanksgiving. Then there's the group project that has yet to get off the ground.

But then again, people keep reposting my story about the steampunk folks.

Yesterday was actually pretty productive.

Got three assignments done, got started on seeking out internships, got two professors to say that they would write letters of recommendation for me, and met someone who does internships for the university's alumni magazine.

Getting started on cover letters, resumes, and making up a list of achievements for two two profs doing letters of rec for me.

Then I've got two major assignments due this week. One tomorrow, the other due the day after tomorrow. Too much work.

I showed the boyfriend person the Fallout ones. He got a pretty good kick out of them.

Still reading some. I forwarded the Star Wars one to some friends on Facebook.

Posted on 11-17-10 10:28 AM, in A Sexual Assault Case Study Link
No proof doesn't mean that rape didn't happen. Hearsay is more that the victim told someone else who then testified in court what they were told as though that exactly how it happened, as opposed to the victim doing it herself. The victim can give direct eyewitness testimony, as can the alleged rapist.

My boyfriend's sister was raped at a party a couple months ago. She was so mentally distraught that she waited three days to tell her mother, and by then the "evidence" had been washed away.

She underwent an intense, embarrassing four-hour forensics exam and they couldn't find enough fluids to say that he had raped her. HOWEVER, in Arizona they allow for "confrontational" calls where the police were taping the call and she got him on the phone, admitting that he knew she was underage. That's the best they can do under such circumstances.

In Sara's case, as well as the rapes that occurred at my city college back when I was on the paper there, the police insisted that the girls not report the crimes. With Sara, they kept insulting her, saying that it must have been consensual. Since I've complained about this enough around people who disagree with me, they argue this is because rape investigations are so brutal on the victim that in the end the victim won't testify at all.

I honestly feel that THAT is bullshit. While I see their point, the criminal justice system is largely unfair to rape victims with criminal proceedings spending more time analyzing the background, behavior, and psychosis of the victim than the alleged assailant.

Studies in several countries have shown that 2-3% of rape accusations are determined to be false (granted, that this is often at the opinion of the police), and one in every three women is sexually assaulted. By being this judgmental of victims, it prevents those who have been raped from stepping forward, reporting crimes against them, and ending the cycle of serial rapists and so on. It further sends a message to those who might commit these crimes that should they go ahead with them, they likely won't be punished.

And this is not to discount men. Men are likely to be raped as well, and I do not believe they are one erection away from rape.

Now in terms of your example: two people, one says no, and they do it anyway? I'm not entirely clear on what happened. Was the woman kicking and screaming throughout? Was she seduced? Did she change her mind? It's hypothetical, but so many details that come with her testimony could be factors in whether or we've got a sexual assault case on our hands.

But then there's going back to this thread from nearly two years ago, where we discussed a man whom we've come to understand as being falsely accused. The accused can keep one of these I Love Me books with his testimony on file, can't he?

I don't deny that false accusations occur. I went to high school with a girl who seemed to claim she was raped every week (similar situation to Nelrith). Second verse, same as the first, when I got to college. You just meet these types who almost act like it's a badge of honor because they're hungry for your sympathy. But all this managed to do was make it difficult for others to take rape accusations seriously. Regarding these women I knew in high school and college, none of them came forward and told the police what happened to them.

Who knows, maybe they were raped each week by unknown, masked assailants in just about the same fashion as the ones the week before? Or maybe they didn't pull a knife this time, and one of them of just held her down while the other three went to town after then knocked her glasses off? How many vans/carloads of gang-raping masked men drive through Bellflower picking the same person up no matter where she is?

Anyway, I feel that rape victims face unfair obstacles when they seek justice. I think it's a hasty generalization to say that women who claim rape and have a significant other are just making the accusation so they can have their cake and eat it too.

I agree that it appears unfair that authorities seem to lean toward the female's side of the story, BUT I feel that here in the states, they try to stifle accusers as best they can. So what is there to do? Suffer in silence?

Reading Epic Encounters: Culture, Media & U.S. Interests in the Middle East since 1945 for my American studies theory class.

Coincidentally enough, we're probably going to read Persepolis for graphic novels class soon. I read most of the first book of it a few years back and just couldn't get into it.

Fun coincidence, though, while discussing the first chapters of Epic Encounters, someone in class started talking about Israeli women in Y: The Last Man and I pulled out my copy of it with pride since we were reading it for graphic novels class this week.

Sounds like a great opportunity, and you should definitely consider it.

From what I've heard from a friend who's a journalist in the Army, they want you to be able to write, shoot photos and video, and do on camera (which I assume would work just as well for radio).

Journalism opens a lot of doors and we can always use more voices coming in from Iraq.

True. I have many friends who don't say that (and many friends who do). As craptastic as I dress, I have friends who are worse.


The person below me has been yelled at for taking pictures of something they apparently weren't allowed to (at least without asking anyway).

So we're up to episode 3. I'm intrigued. It seems like they're going really slow and yet jumping forward at the same time. It feels like they're only a third of the way through the first graphic novel, Days Gone Bye.

Yeah, it feels like they added more characters and conversations than were in the books.

I think the sideplot with the redneck brothers is going to play into a future story regarding Rick. Then again I haven't read as far as that unfortunate spoiler that Scott Lobdell put out there during a comedy show where he did an impersonation of Rick.

Sorry to be ambiguous there. Let's just say someone spoiled something crucial in the story for me, but I don't want to spoil it for you guys.
