http://cuckoospell.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html

John Redmond kibitzing on poetry, chess, and related matters,. Wednesday, 13 July 2011. As it happened, I managed to exceed my targeted performance in the Irish Chess Championship. I finished in second place. Scored 7/9, and had a rating performance of 2397. I did particularly well with the Black pieces, scoring 4/4 (following 4/5 with Black last year). I even got away with playing the Nimzo-Indian. An opening I hadn't ventured for over twenty years. Labels: irish chess championship. MUDe (poems, 2008).

artsreviewing: October 2007

http://artsreviewing.blogspot.com/2007_10_01_archive.html

Monday, 29 October 2007. Tom Moody writes about the new Radiohead album. When I heard that Radiohead were releasing their first album in four years as a pick-your-own-price download, I thought it made a lot of sense. Why, indeed, should I have to pay ten pounds for an album from a band which insists on being as artistically erratic as Radiohead? Thursday, 25 October 2007. Alister Burton's thoughts on what he calls 'The Last Legion (Hopefully)'. All useful comments welcome! TV programmes and Evil Dead.

Melmoth: Scholars and Vampires

http://melmothkitsune.blogspot.com/2008/07/scholars-and-vampires.html

The crystal chandeliers light up the paintings on your wall. Monday, 14 July 2008. Not every question seems to me worth asking. Scientific curiosity and omnivorous aesthetic appetite mean equally little to me today, though I was once under the spell of both, particularly the latter. Now I only enquire when I find myself inquired. Of Inquired of, that is, by men. Man but not the representative of a certain discipline, that insatiable, ever inquisitive phantom which like a vampire. View my complete profile.

Melmoth: Svidrigailov's Eternity

http://melmothkitsune.blogspot.com/2008/09/svidrigailovs-eternity.html

The crystal chandeliers light up the paintings on your wall. Monday, 8 September 2008. You see, we always see eternity as an idea that can't be comprehended, as something enormous, gigantic! But why does it have to be so very large? I mean, instead of thinking of it that way, try supposing that all there will be is one little room, something akin to the country bath-house, with soot on the walls and spiders in every corner, and there's your eternity for you. Fydor Dostoyevsky, Crime and Punishment.
