The Sunday Salon - November 21


This was a week full of ups as well as downs. It started out nicely early in a week - we took my camera with me whilst we ran errands as well as took a little photos for my Saturday Snapshot meme.

Then we got to see my son act in his school's musical production, "Pirates: The Musical." He played a part of Blackbeard as well as was far some-more excited about his oral tools than about a singing. (In a photo to a left he is displaying his fiercest pirate pose.)

Then we came down with a stomach flu. we don't consider we need to say anything else about that. Well except for a a single good thing was which we did get to spend dual days in bed examination a little of my a a single preferred guilty-pleasure films (An Affair to Remember, The Lake House, as well as The American President). we had a lot some-more films lined up to watch though we kept descending asleep.

By a finish of a week we was feeling some-more similar to myself as well as got my root waterway done upon a tooth which was painful last week. The shots which a specialist gave me were a little of a most painful I've ever had - thank integrity for Vicodin! Oh, as well as there is wonderful headlines from a dentist's bureau - after years of carrying to wait for 3-6 months for any appointment they are becoming opposite their policy so which we can see a dentist within 2 weeks of your call. Evidently they had sufficient customer complaints about a ridiculously prolonged waits which they finally decided it was time for a change.

Last night we set out to forget a trials of a week with dual as well as a half hours of stately tranquillity examination Harry Potter as well as a Deathly Hallows, Part 1. we positively loved it! There were a littl! e things which were opposite from a book, though we know which is inevitable with book adaptations. One of a most appropriate things about examination it with a large throng of people was listening for a gasps of warn from those who hadn't read a book. There was a single stage in particular where a single man in a assembly cried out in warn as well as then hollered something to a outcome of "that's what we get for not celebration of a mass a book" as well as everyone in a assembly was laughing. We usually saw a single chairman in costume though - she had a knitted pom-pom Gryffindor hat as well as was knitting a relating red scarf whilst waiting for a uncover to start.

One of a things we missed this week was a derby car races which my son participates in any year for Awana. This year my husband as well as son worked upon mending a car design as well as chain of a lead weight, as well as we was unequivocally looking forward to examination a competition. we was so proud to hear which he came in fourth overall out of a most participants, just blank a trophies by a single place (and proud which he rubbed which disappointment with grace).

Today we would similar to to finish celebration of a mass Sisters: An Anthology ed. by Jan Freeman. It's a single of a books which we agreed to review in November, though we am terribly at a back of in my reviews this month due to all of a illnesses. we wouldn't have had any reviews posted this past week if it wouldn't have been for a couple which were pre-scheduled.

Poetry puzzles

Who is Ozymandias? Why is Coleridge's Lime-Tree Bower his prison? And what is the proper spelling of The Waste Land? The solving of a poem's puzzles is one poetry's greatest pleasures In the late 1990s the indefatigable John Sutherland produced a series of entertaining books about puzzles in fiction (Why is Frankenstein's monster yellow? Where does Fanny Hill keep her contraceptives? Who gets what in Heathcliff's will?). The books were initially linked to reissues of novels in the Oxford World's Classics series, and I was struck at the time how beautifully these little inquisitions of Sutherland's, often on apparently absurd or marginal issues in the text, got readers reading again, with attention and interest. What Sutherland was doing, in effect, was smuggling serious literary criticism into an apparently superficial form of writing. Perhaps, in a sense, he was even re-inventing literary criticism. In this era of academic theorising and the downsizing of m...

CCCP: Cosmic Communist Constructions Photographed by Frdric Chaubin review

These images of Soviet architecture from the Brezhnev era are simply out of this world Soviet brutalism is not something traditionally thought of as beautiful, but Frdric Chaubin's stunning photographs, published under the facetious title CCCP: Cosmic Communist Constructions Photographed , should go some way to changing this. Fascinated by the massive scale of Brezhnev-era architecture, the French photographer has toured the former Soviet Union since 2003, in search of dramatic examples of these sculptural buildings. The 1970s-1990s was a strong period for Soviet architecture, especially in the peripheral republics, where outlandish designs were an expression of the striving for independence, an early inkling of the break-up of the USSR. Architects at this time picked up where they left off following the suppression of the avant-garde by Stalin in the early 1930s, and were able to capitalise on advances made in engineering in the interim period, producing buildings with enormous in...
