Goal

Apocalypse Now in three points: green smoke noise The green thing was more of a problem with the specific screening. Jon and Jill tried to fix it (thank you), to no avail, but I’m including it in the list of points because it was just so green. In reference to our discussions about Heart of […] Continue reading →

Gathered up

I put off this post because I haven’t found anything to say about the book. Well, I guess I can start with Freud. “Examine diligently, therefore, all the faculties of your soul: memory, understanding, and will. Examine with precision all your senses as well. . . . Examine, moreover, all your thoughts, every word you […] Continue reading →

Grate

By my count, we’re almost two-thirds of the way through the year. (I just did the math and it’s 62.5%, or five-eighths, but whatever. It’ll be two-thirds by the end of next week.)

Good Queen Margot

Five (seven) questions on The Master and Margarita. 1. Why is the book organized the way it is? (split narration, different stories) 2. Why is Margarita’s second wish (rather than the first) for the Master? (282-284) 3. Archibald Archibaldovich appears once to bail Koroviev and Behemoth out, and then promptly sets the building they were […] Continue reading →

Goldilocks

Whenever I read I’m often struck by similarities to other things I’ve seen/heard and sometimes I laugh a little bit at these moments. The people around me are usually pretty used to the sight/sound of me laughing randomly and sometimes they ask me what’s up. In the absence of people being around me while I’m […] Continue reading →

“Gorgias”, apparently

I decided to not delete that first automatic blog post (“Hello, world!”) because in a few years I’ll probably look back on it and remember not really understanding exactly what I was supposed to do with this. In our last seminar, our professor commented that we preferred syncretic (okay, I just googled that to make […] Continue reading →
