the sound of the noise: A New Poem: Why everything is not connected

http://soundofthenoise.blogspot.com/2013/06/a-new-poem-why-everything-is-not.html

Wednesday, 12 June 2013. A New Poem: Why everything is not connected. Try telling the man. Decapitated in the arena. By Maximus Decimus Meridius. In the film Gladiator. World is connected,. Every blade of grass. And small pink flower. Is at one with every canyon,. Bloody sea creature, swan and snail. Try explaining as his vision slides around. That one day he'll be in fields. For serving the now-long-extinct empire. That found him and put him here. As he perspires,. All nerves and sinews,. Posting a few ...

the sound of the noise: quirky poem

http://soundofthenoise.blogspot.com/2007/05/there-isnt-much-that-doesnt-say.html

Thursday, 31 May 2007. There isn’t much that doesn’t say something about you. We held a dirge for the cat, over dinner,. While baked beans went ping in the microwave. The two actions went strangely together. Our pet beetle ran wild one day. But we forgot to pray,. And instead went to play mini-golf. Hand-me-downs were rejected by us. But it was expensive to buy. Pixar films again and again. Moses might have had a shining face. But we had shiny shoes. Most days we went to school. 169; 2007 Richard Townrow.

the sound of the noise: Douglas Adams & the role of the novel VS science

http://soundofthenoise.blogspot.com/2013/06/douglas-adams-role-of-novel-vs-science.html

Tuesday, 11 June 2013. Douglas Adams and the role of the novel VS science. This is an intriguing quote for a few reasons:. I don't really read science at all! Thirdly, don't many good novels today provoke us to real reflection? While I love entertainment culture, sometimes it is just a lure for us, enabling us to duck out of doing something constructive. Fourth, I love that Douglas Adams was a writer who loved both literature and science. Great to have thinkers that stretch in both directions! And severa...

http://soundofthenoise.blogspot.com/2008/10/v-for-vendetta.html

Thursday, 16 October 2008. This engrossing graphic novel is still shocking today, and totally compelling. Why shocking? Why is the book compelling? This is partly due to the careful blend of ideas and influences, from the obvious (Guy Fawkes and 1984. To the musical and literary ( Alice in Wonderland. Are people really that malleable?

the sound of the noise: On watching House and living life

http://soundofthenoise.blogspot.com/2011/10/on-watching-house-and-living-life.html

Wednesday, 19 October 2011. On watching House and living life. One thing I realy like about House. House has a way of exploding situations until their practically unbearable for his colleagues in order to expose to themselves what the new selfish or dumb thing they are really doing is. He won't let anything go.* It's pretty fascinating. House says things like this - isn't he a charmer? Going back to watching TV for a minute - I'm not knocking it, as it is good to enjoy as a gift from God. But as Chri...

the sound of the noise: Book Review: The Ballad of Halo Jones

http://soundofthenoise.blogspot.com/2010/05/book-review-ballad-of-halo-jones.html

Tuesday, 25 May 2010. Book Review: The Ballad of Halo Jones. Why is this acclaimed graphic novel worthy of such high distinction? Perhaps it’s because it is one of the few *true* science fiction epics in that form, which has a beginning, middle and an end? The plot of the three books. Have we forgotten that these wars (necessary though they may be) have a devastating impact on the lives of the people of the countries where the fighting is going on? What purpose does it serve? Labels: about God and us.

the sound of the noise: Aspects of love

http://soundofthenoise.blogspot.com/2007/06/todays-poem-is-personal-but-not-because.html

Friday, 1 June 2007. Today's poem is personal, but not because I wrote it - rather because of its content. How do you respond to "love"? How do you offer it? Are you hesitant and fragile, has it lost you or you lost it? Where do you go to find a strong positive love, one that outlasts others? Enjoy my thoughts, let me know what your response is. Equally, if you feel I am being too cryptic, let me know about that too! My love is a dead flower. It is precious, picked for you,. Placed into your hand. Please...

the sound of the noise: Awe

http://soundofthenoise.blogspot.com/2009/08/awe.html

Tuesday, 4 August 2009. Here's that poem I've been working on - please let me know what you think! At this rockswell,. Crowned with jagged brambles,. The earth secretly breathes. You can hear sighs from stacked rock. While creaking ferns point back. To worn beaten track. The earth is thin here. Creature-calls and rustles mark time. For the bandits peering at us from the sky;. A mosaic in green,. Where birds stand, hiding,. Hoping to swoop at any new invasion. Up there, a world of leaning leaf,. Was fun, ...

the sound of the noise: Review of BBC Radio Play series of The Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy

http://soundofthenoise.blogspot.com/2013/06/review-of-bbc-radio-play-series-of.html

Friday, 21 June 2013. Review of BBC Radio Play series of The Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Working through the radio play series of Douglas Adams' Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Has been a blast. Unsure how to best share the love, I have plumped for a line graph. It looks a bit basic and could do with a few funky robots or spaceships here and there, but still - here goes:. But apparently the plot is the same. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Please make yourself at home here at my blog, where...
