Doctor Who | Notes from nowhere

All that just to introduce the War Doctor? All that promise from the Library episode to this? Also, wasn’t it previously revealed during the Dalton episodes that Gallifrey and the Time Lords were not simply destroyed, but caught in a time lock? How is that any different from now?

Catching up + Ursula K Leguin | Notes from nowhere
https://qwpoi.wordpress.com/2012/10/03/catching-up
October 3, 2012 · 11:17 pm. Catching up Ursula K Leguin. I have not updated this since March. As soon as I finish a book I feel compelled to write about it, but by the time I get to a computer, the impulse has usually been forgotten. Some quick notes. I finished Ursula K Leguin’s Earthsea series. The first two stories, while good, seemed to have something missing from her writing that made. The left hand of darkness. Leave a Reply Cancel reply.

runaway | Notes from nowhere

Catching up Ursula K Leguin. October 3, 2012 · 11:24 pm. Runaway. Far and away my favorite Alice Munro thus far. The switching between perspectives and time in LeGuin’s Earthsea series really reminded me of how Alice Munro (in far fewer words) traveled the story of Juliet in her three separate stories. Out of the stories in this book, Passion is my favorite. The way she combines that curious awakening perceiving and understanding the deep depression that lay beneath a mild surface was really moving.

It’s just that the last few stories have fallen a bit shy of what I’ve come to expect from her. In. December 28, 2011 · 12:24 pm. Forgot how books are sometimes quick. Finished. I wonder sometimes how much we develop as artists. It’s not like I read Pynchon’s. And thought to myself, he will develop as a writer. December 27, 2011 · 6:30 am. These ...

Doctor Who →. February 25, 2014 · 10:06 pm. I’m a bit behind in my 2014 reading goals. There’s been a lot of thematic overlap in what I’ve read so far. What can be made of these connections? Are they indicative of something deeper, something more interesting than just a superficial passing resemblance? The woman mentions in passing that she and her husband divorced. One paragraph in a story about her childhood romance with Mike. In so many of these stories, the children / family / domestic life is often ...

Recent thoughts →. December 12, 2013 · 9:34 pm. It’s been a long time. I came here today because I’ve been thinking about the ways in which we process art. Some things you get immediately–others become brilliant through time. And with time, some things get less brilliant. Was very different from the immediate …. 8230; that I felt when I moved on to Faulkner. How to describe the difference? 8211;who is speaking?

Ugh Watching the US pressure on Guatemla ramp up, the blind belief that the US would retain some semblance of integrity, the utter complicity of the US media at the time, it really is heartbreaking. Also calls into question the strategy of seizing power. How the US and its methods are seen so much more clearly by the third world than by those who live inside the state.

October 3, 2012 · 11:27 pm. I had listened to the New Yorker interview with the biographer earlier, and so I was a bit skeptical. There was something about his tone. But it was easily forgotten as I got to the more interesting parts of the book. It also made me feel like I want to read the Pale King. Leave a Reply Cancel reply. Enter your comment here.
