As with most love triangles, I think your level of satisfaction has a great deal to do with who you’re rooting for. Stella is an ambitious music journalist who loves them both deeply. You’ve got Reid, the struggling bad boy rocker, and Nate, the passionate startup newspaper owner. Drive dragged me through a range of emotions-sometimes kicking and screaming-but man, what a great journey. Truthfully, if it had been written by anyone other than one of my favorite storytellers, Kate Stewart, I probably would have passed. Just when I thought my tender heart couldn’t handle another love triangle, I took a chance on Drive. But when it came to the soundtrack of a life, how could anyone choose a favorite song? So, to erase any doubt, I ditched my first-class ticket and decided to take a drive, fixed on the rearview.Īnd the long road home to the man who was waiting for me. I was in love with one man’s beats and another’s lyrics. You see, my favorite songs had a way of playing simultaneously. Then I received a phone call that left me off key. The average song is three and a half minutes long those three and a half minutes could lead to a slow blink, a glimpse of the past, or catapult the soul into heart-shattering nostalgia.Īt the height of my career, I had the life I wanted, the life I’d always envisioned. ![]() Published by Self-Published on October 13th 2017 ![]()

5/22/2023 0 Comments Righteous Anger by Lynda Williams![]() ![]() ![]() In particular, Righteous Anger focuses on the fortunes, awkward fate and fighting skills of Horth Nersal, a half-breed who was conceived as the result of a treaty marriage to bring peace between two disparate factions. The Reetions are socially transparent and regulated by the computer, the Gelacks are genetically enhanced, highly religious and regulated by the Okal Rel Sword law. In her follow-up, Righteous Anger (Calgary: Edge $22.95), Williams continues to explore the two warring cultures. High-tech and egalitarian Reetions remain averse to the neo-feudal and barbaric Gelacks.Righteous Anger: Part Two of the Okal Rel Sagaby Lynda WilliamsPages can have notes/highlighting.Connections to planet earth have long been severed and 200 years have passed since the Killing Reach War. ![]() In her novel The Courtesan Prince (2005), the first instalment of her planned ten-novel Okal Rel Universe series, Williams invented two ideologically opposed planetary societies, both colonizing space by cloning.

Williams' father read her epic poetry before she could read and her mother's grandfather was a Welsh bard who wrote a book of sermons.

For decades, Moses really did play god with New York, and for anyone who ever lived within his kingdom, "I Bought a Little City', which was first published in the New Yorker, might not have seemed so absurd after all. But Barthelme first arrived in Greenwich Village, where he would live for most of the rest of his life, in the winter of 1962, just as local campaigners were narrowly defeating an attempt by the despotic city planner Robert Moses to run a 10-lane elevated highway through the middle of Washington Square Park. As with much of Barthelme's work, the premise seems so absurd that one can't help but shake it until a metaphor falls out, and here one might well assume that, in the words of the novelist Donald Antrim, "I Bought a Little City" is "a take on the role that a writer has in writing a story – playing god, in a certain way". I n Donald Barthelme's 1974 short story "I Bought a Little City", the narrator decides one day to purchase Galveston, Texas, where he then tears down some houses, shoots 6,000 dogs, and rearranges what remains into the shape of a giant Mona Lisa jigsaw puzzle visible only from the air. ![]() 5/22/2023 0 Comments Eleanor and park about![]() ![]() “I just wanted to listen to those three seconds over and over.” “Oh my God, that’s the best beginning to a song ever.” That one song – is it ‘Love Will Tear Us Apart’?” This is the song that Park gives Eleanor on their first mixed tape. If Eleanor & Park had a tagline, it would be “Love will tear us apart.” Soon my darling, soon my darling.” Sweet Disposition, The Temper Trap “High climbs the summer sun, high stands the corn, That guy doesn’t exist enough (for me) in fiction. With Park - with all of my male heroes, really – I’m trying to portray someone who’s masculine, but still tender and full of big feelings. It’s from the point of view of a poor farmboy envisioning how he’ll provide for his beloved. This song – Love on a Farmboy’s Wages – is one of my favorite XTC songs, and it’s especially quiet and romantic. I had this picture of Park as an island of thoughtfulness in a sea of chaos everybody else is screaming and being crass, and he’s listening to intellectual New Wave. ![]() Or maybe he’d make a special bus tape with as much screaming and wailing on it as possible. Tomorrow he was going to bring Skinny Puppy or the Misfits. Park pressed his headphones into his ears. XTC was no good for drowning out the morons at the back of the bus. ![]() So this is the song that Park is listening to on his headphones the very first time we meet him. ![]() 5/22/2023 0 Comments The tao of pooh goodreads![]() ![]() ![]() There are parts of ourselves that will be unknown to us and possibly unknown to others. In psychology there’s a model called the Johari Window, that explains we can never know ourselves completely. Another term for the concept in this passage is self-awareness. I feel like I could quote this whole book. Once you face and understand your limitations, you can work with them, instead of having them work against you and get in your way, which is what they do when you ignore them, whether you realize it or not.” So, in that sense at least, a Weakness of some sort can do you a big favor, if you acknowledge that it’s there. “A saying from the area of Chinese medicine would be appropriate to mention here: ‘One disease, long life no disease, short life.’ In other words, those who know what’s wrong with them and take care of themselves accordingly will tend to live a lot longer than those who consider themselves perfectly healthy and neglect their weaknesses. It’s a short read – I’m able to get halfway through the book in my first hour of reading – and it’s serving as I intended: a reminder to seek a little less knowledge for knowledge’s sake and a little more acceptance of the nature of things. I read it again, of my own volition, in college. ![]() I first read the book (that explains the principles of Taoism through the characters and stories of Winnie the Pooh) during a humanities class in high school.
