on the agenda---

from tv today, 2 specials on A&E (on thx to rg here):
1. Ozzy Osbourne
2. Inside Polygamy

so 1: I've seen, like on gofugyourself, that Kelly Osbourne and maybe Jack? are publicly commented on, but I did not know there was a *recent* tv show of their life - cameras in their home. me to r - so this predate/saged all the current reality tv? r - no. oh, it's now... I guess I was thinking Osbourne = 70s (r- & lated 60s). and now Ozzy is well liked by 'the establishment' - clip of Bush recognizing him at an event "mom loves your stuff." ? r - he's loveable.
so read about the Osbournes... one daughter was not in the show, she was 16 she says and ~ wanted privacy (so did she live elsewhere?)

also, not really related, but group w/ Ozzy Osbourne over against topic of polygamy ans item of 'sicko marriage contract' on smokinggun:
"hipster" - talking w/ dB last nite after art show about what this subculture is and nobody calls themselves hipsters or scenesters do they (why not?) although "indie" ok. first of all about the music? dB-interactn char by lack of given cues. huh.

2: polygamy is interesting why/how? (I'm interested in new hbo show Big Love with Jeanne Triplehorn, Chloe Sevigne, Gennifer Goodwin as three wives) -- issues of jealousy/sharing/community. and tied up with incest..
this was a two hour show. see AETV.com it said at end. interviews with families in and leaders of "the true living church" = TLC ~as opposed to the church of latter day saints LDS = Mormon church. belief that a man must have 3 wives to enter the celestial kingdom (!? why?). polygamy is against the law. I have some question about how that can be ~ ? ~ meaning? I don't know. ok. the state can refuse to grant & legally recognize plural marriages, that makes sense. but if person takes another lover into their home... if they are not married, it's not illegal right? so how do you define polygamy in the law / how is it different from a group of people who are not married who live and sleep together multiply?
so look up this program, and other comments on polygamy...

-and look at: recently marked metafilter-pointed-out Travis Frey's "Contract of Wifely Expectations" -wh include "You will be naked within 20 minutes of the kids being in bed…You are to do everything that is requested or expected of you, if you do not, you are considered noncompliant." –which reminds me also of justin recommending Lust by Elfriede Jelinek...

SUM:
Osbournes.
hipster. DONE whew, some int links but is tedious.
polygamy.
sicko marriage contract. DONE.donedone.
