nickleberry: Visions of a university
http://nickleberry-huxtable.blogspot.com/2015/01/visions-of-university.html
Saturday, 24 January 2015. Visions of a university. I've just finished John Williams' Stoner. A truly brilliant novel. The protagonist, William Stoner, leads an apparently unexceptional life, much of it occupied with his work as a lecturer at a small university in the states. The story also holds a special resonance for me, given that much of my. Life is occupied with my work as a lecturer in a small university. The quotes below are all from Stoner. Smiling, they shook there heads. Know, don't we? This v...

nickleberry: Wisdom from Kazantzakis
http://nickleberry-huxtable.blogspot.com/2014/07/from-nikos-kazantzakis-fratricides.html
Monday, 14 July 2014. From Nikos Kazantzakis' The Fratricides. Father Yanaros watched her as she climbed and disappeared from sight. For a moment, he forgot himself. "What strength," he murmured, "what life, what youth! Why do I demand virtue and honor of such a body? Let her get it out of her system first; let her eat up the world and become satiated and have her mouth fill with ashes! Then, virtue and goodness will appear from the ruins.". To be unhappy. Even (especially? When `they have everything....

Saturday, 20 September 2014. But Scotland votes NO. I'm pissed off about the result of the Scottish referendum. A glorious opportunity to truly change the rotten political system in the UK and it has been spurned. The clones in Westminster are well pleased, and the rest of us are stuck on the same old treadmill. As if Mick Jagger has the first notion of what life is like for an ordinary Scottish person. This response didn't appear in the press of course. Just the usual fawning to these legends of mus...

Thursday, 13 September 2012. Carp Guardian shit in a bag. I aint been writing much recently, so I thought I'd break my silence with a triplet. Gems, each and every one. First up. Shit in a bag. What is it with all the dog shit in bags that I see hanging off bushes in my neighbourhood? Can someone please explain what they are doing there? Could it be that dog owners are picking up their dog's turd, placing the turd in a plastic bag, tying the bag in a neat bow. and then launching it into the bushes? There...

nickleberry: June 2015
http://nickleberry-huxtable.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Sunday, 28 June 2015. Two things I learnt from a year in Costa Rica. At the start of 2014, I moved with my family to Costa Rica. A year later we moved back to the UK after a memorable 12 months. I learnt a lot of things in that time, but here are two that seem particularly important. A little empathy would go a long way. What's interesting is that the two-halves experience of housing also made for a two-halves experience of parenting. In the first six months I shouted at my kids a lot. And I didn't even ...

nickleberry: November 2013
http://nickleberry-huxtable.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
Thursday, 21 November 2013. David Blunkett was on the radio a couple of days ago, carrying on from where he left off as home secretary. i.e. he was spouting a load of nonsense that skirted awfully close to plain old racism. The key word in this largely incoherent rant was the word integrate. Woe betide the immigrant who does not integrate, for they shall not be welcome. Secondly, on `integration'. What does it actually mean? Who's integrating into what in this county? Actually David Blunkett has turned u...

nickleberry: From Heinlein's "Door into Summer"
http://nickleberry-huxtable.blogspot.com/2015/04/from-heinleins-door-into-summer.html
Sunday, 5 April 2015. From Heinlein's "Door into Summer". The following quote is from Robert Heinlein's Door into Summer. My new work place seems to have a few too many paymasters of the former kind. Incidentally, while Door into Summer. Is an enjoyable bit of fluff, it really doesn't compare to Heinlein's The Moon is a Harsh Mistress. Which I rate as possibly the best sci-fi book I've ever read.). Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). From Heinleins Door into Summer. Birds, books, and film.

Tuesday, 23 April 2013. Almost everything is impermanent. One of our household's favourite mantras is the old chestnut,. It can be genuinely helpful in times of stress. It can also be said with a wry smile, when you've nowt else to say. I was in the latter mode yesterday, when my oldest was complaining hysterically that my youngest had broken his lego tower. But on hearing my ever-so-ironic response, he came right back at me:. What about permanent marker? Everything is impermanent, except permanent marker.
