Entry 15: Garak’s designation
Coyblythe reading ‘A Stitch in Time’ (Andrew J. Robinson)
—————————
“Nevertheless, you’re a Ten and until you prove yourself otherwise you’ll always remain a Ten.”
This conversation Garak is having with a more adavanced student is pointing to the fact that Garak holds the lowest designation you could possibly have. At Bamarren students are only to be adressed by their designation which names their class second and their rank within it first. Garak is in the beginners class named “Lubak” and holds the lowest number ‘Ten’ in that class: He’s Ten Lubak.
Since their group is new to the institute their numbers are determined by their family background and wealth rather than by their performance - thats quite crucial for Garak because he happens to be one of the if not the best student in the Lubak group yet is treated like a Ten. That guy he’s talking with here offers him the opportunity to participate in an important project of his class so Garak can prove himself to be more than a Ten.

Anonymous asked: I happened to come across your blog because of Jeeves and Wooster. I just wanted to ask, if there were a modern AU of Jeeves and Wooster, what would Jeeves be? Valets are rather old fashioned so what would his role/relationship to Bertie be in modern day setting?

allieinarden answered:

Oh, wow, thank you so much for the cool question, Sir or Madame, because I have actually put a serious amount of thought into this!

Well, in the first place, he’s still going to have to be in some sort of hired position for Bertie. It wouldn’t work to have them just be neighbors or friends or what-have-you, because Jeeves is a very specific, controlled creature and the way I see it, he needs a contract to do what he does. ~~Kind of Faustian, actually.~~

He’d probably be a personal assistant or a caregiver.

My own idea was this: Aunt Agatha remembers a time (or remembers people who remembered a time, or perhaps has simply been watching too much Downton Abbey) when the upper classes had Ideals and used to rely on personal servants to keep them coordinated, and she’s rather depressed watching her foolish nephew cheapen his aristocratic blood by getting drunk all the time and wearing horrible stuff from Abercrombie and Fitch, so finally she hires this fellow essentially to go over to Bertie’s house and keep him in line, only to bitterly regret it when the man ends up making things even worse by encouraging Bertie in further tarnishing the family name (but at least he gets him to wear nicer clothes).

isfjmel-phleg’s idea, which I really love, was for Aunt Agatha to be the CEO of a large company which Bertie has a position in that he can’t handle on his own, so that Jeeves, his PA, is actually doing the majority of the work for him while sorting out his friends’ problems in his spare time.

Given how we human beings usually get our help these days, part of me is really tempted to make him a search engine or a Siri-like device on Bertie’s phone or otherwise not a literal person, but he could hardly control Bertie’s life in the way he does if this were so. (Besides, other people would download him and then they wouldn’t have to go through Bertie to use him, which is where 99% of the plots come from.)

Before the availability of the tape recorder and during the 1950s, when vinyl was scarce, people in the Soviet Union began making records of banned Western music on discarded x-rays. With the help of a special device, banned bootlegged jazz and rock ‘n’ roll records were “pressed” on thick radiographs salvaged from hospital waste bins and then cut into discs of 23-25 centimeters in diameter. “They would cut the X-ray into a crude circle with manicure scissors and use a cigarette to burn a hole,” says author Anya von Bremzen. “You’d have Elvis on the lungs, Duke Ellington on Aunt Masha’s brain scan — forbidden Western music captured on the interiors of Soviet citizens.”
THIS IS FUCKING AWESOME

Let’s check in on the decadent, completely inedible, yet perfectly wearable shoes from The Shoe Bakery (previously featured here). The Orlando, Florida-based company is run by Chris Campbell, who loves both shoes and sweets so much that he decided to combine them in the form of outrageously tantalizing ice cream, cake and donut-themed footwear.
If you’ve got a specific dessert and shoe combination in mind, Campbell happily accepts custom orders. Each mouthwatering pair of Shoe Bakery shoes takes about 3-6 weeks to design, create and ship. Prices range from $200 to $400 US, which should provide you with all the more incentive to refrain from trying to eat them.
Visit The Shoe Bakery’s website to check out more of their enticingly iced footwear.
