The Mixed Metaphor Museum: Little Engine with Wings

http://www.mixedmetaphormuseum.blogspot.com/2011/11/little-engine-with-wings.html

The Mixed Metaphor Museum. Honoring Achievements in Catachresis and Malapropism. Monday, November 7, 2011. Little Engine with Wings. One could even argue that [Michael] Lewis, having fallen in love with one story, missed a second, possibly more interesting one, in which the Little Engine That Could grows wings and flies too close to the sun. I like this description of a faux-underdog from a Moneyball. Review. Or maybe it's an underdog that becomes an overdog. Icarus turns up in funny places.

The Mixed Metaphor Museum: Ascendant Trolley

http://www.mixedmetaphormuseum.blogspot.com/2011/01/ascendant-streetcar.html

The Mixed Metaphor Museum. Honoring Achievements in Catachresis and Malapropism. Thursday, January 13, 2011. As the monorail declines? This article compares the relative merits of trolleys and monorails. The key difference between these two modes of transport is that the monorail whizzes past you in the sky while the trolley rumbles alongside you, earthbound and familiar. But what is a flying trolley, if not a monorail? And isn't a declining monorail a subway? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Florida pastor Terry Jones has been using the media to make Muslims angry. There's still a chance he may throw a Koran-burning party tomorrow, in spite of the efforts of cleric Muhammad Musri get Jones to douse his pyre. That also goes by Mrs. David Bowie.

The Mixed Metaphor Museum. Honoring Achievements in Catachresis and Malapropism. Friday, June 10, 2011. Sparks to be Tapped. President Obama called unemployed people "sparks waiting to be lit," whose ignition can set the economy ablaze. Then he said that they have "talent to be tapped.". This one bothered me because an unlit spark is a non-entity. Obama's effort to praise the value of these " churning. The comparision harkened back to Bush 41's even vaguer " thousand points of light.

Compendium Tremendium: Podcast Intro to Walter Benjamin's "Theses on the Concept of History"

http://compendiumtremendium.blogspot.com/2012/11/podcast-intro-to-walter-benjamins.html

The whole is the false.". Podcast Intro to Walter Benjamin's "Theses on the Concept of History". Here's a podcast I made a few months ago. It's an effort to introduce Walter Benjamin to high school students. I'm not sure that it succeeds in that respect, but I really enjoyed the process of putting it together. The soundtrack is all original compositions, minus a few pieces lifted form Satie, Berlioz and various Soviet orchestras. Walter Benjamin's Theses on the Concept of History.

Episode ten of season three opens with Don Draper indulging in a bit of philosophical pillow talk with his latest conquest, a demure elementary school teacher named Suzanne.

The whole is the false.". Roger Federer as Embodied Perception. In his 2006 article, "Federer as Religious Experience," David Foster Wallace makes a compelling observation regarding the embodied nature of perception:. This point does require some qualification. According to another proposition with which we're all familiar, it should be conceded that perception is also a function of context. Consider Federer's comments on being a spectator at Wimbledon:. How do we enact our world? Knowing that perception...

Compendium Tremendium: The Other Side of Time

http://compendiumtremendium.blogspot.com/2010/03/other-side-of-time.html

The whole is the false.". The Other Side of Time. To be clear, I'm not encouraging a radical break with the past. But, I appreciate seeing the temptation laid bare in all of its metaphysical seductiveness. By giving voice to the desire, I feel like Celine relieves some of the anxiety that builds from its inscrutable force . I guess, in a sense, this is a typical romantic trope: using poetry to transform pain into a sublime aesthetic of self-reflection . But Celine's black humor keeps the reader from.

The whole is the false.". On Time and History. Some variations on the theme of time and history that accumulated over a long period of only reading Benjamin and Adorno. On Time and History. The present does not advance or retreat; it stands still, obstinate, refusing to budge. And unlike the gaze we throw upon it, it reflects nothing, reveals nothing. The present is like matter: thoughtless, inert. But we are desire, restless before it. People, we are provided perpetual consolation. Do we accumulate hist...

The whole is the false.". I was at the Parkway 14 watching 2012 when an amusing thought entered my mind: what if the world were to come to an end this very moment, as I sit here in this theatre watching the same spectacular events unfold on the big screen? I smiled to myself as I pictured a shifting of tectonic plates tearing apart the floor beneath my feet, uprooting the foundations of the building, making a mirror image of the devastation on the screen. The global impact of these traumas is assured by ...

Mixed Metal Workshop | A jewelry making journey

A jewelry making journey. BeadSmith 1.5mm Gothic Number Punch Set Review. September 6, 2012. I always love when I go get the mail and there is some sort of little packet for me. Usually it is a tool, and today was no exception. I had ordered some 1.5 mm number stamps, made by a company called “beadsmith”. I thought I might do a little review of them in case anyone else is interested. The beadsmith punch on the bottom.
