The Belated Entry (A Nonlinear Play in Several Acts)

Jul 13, 2006 15:45

Act 1: Though all these deadlines and the impending trip to Rhode Island have placed me in a situation wherein I need to be writing every single waking moment, and though I said that stuff about Gandalf and Pippin and the deep breath before the plunge, and though I am surely one of the most productive writers I've ever personally met (if I do say ( Read more... )

I've never heard Judy Collins' version of "Pirate Jenny." Nice.

It's off In My Life (1966). I'll e-mail you the file...

Thanks! I have versions by Lotte Lenya (in German and English), Nina Simone (in English), Diane Dufresne (in French, but it still works), and the Dresden Dolls (in German). Any of them you would like?

The Dresden Dolls, defintely. Thanks!

As for Feri, the Xtian mysticism I pretty much felt fine tossing out, as have many other Feris. Also, the history is generally accepted as "poetic history," rather than factual history. Again, something I've no use for, so I tossed it. Victor's supposed initiation is generally viewed nowadays to have been an astral thing, not so much something that happened on the physical plane (and I've heard that he often didn't clearly seperate such experiences from ordinary physical ones).

*shrugs* Thems my thoughts. All I know is that Feri tools are very powerful, and the Feri energy is compatible with me in ways no other energy current has been. Also, I enjoy the individuality, and the freedom to decide on my own about things, figure out what works and what doesn't for myself.

Also, you might be interested in checking out this post at the lj Feri community about differing beliefs and practices in Feri: http://community.livejournal.com/feri/75910.html

I have a reluctance regarding tossing things out, even when it's plainly obvious, as is the case with both Wicca and Feri, that a "tradition" is a recent invention. It's a hard thing to explain, why I feel this way, but it has something to do with the desire for an integral whole. If the inclusion of any one thing is arbitrary, if it may be discarded because I don't happen to like it, then everything seems, to me, equally disposable. And I begin to feel as if I'm merely creating my own new syncritization. Which wasn't what I set out to do when all this started. I begin to fear, though, I will be left no other option.

Again, something I've no use for, so I tossed it. Victor's supposed initiation is generally viewed nowadays to have been an astral thing, not so much something that happened on the physical plane (and I've heard that he often didn't clearly seperate such experiences from ordinary physical ones).That's interesting. I've not encountered this explanation ( ... )

Isn't he FAB!!! He is so ghastly he's going to be such fun to watch. I also am liking the architect woman - she seems strong too. The rocker guy had a rather pitiful dress - BLECH! And I think the black guy is a sleeper. The other women weren't much notable to me, besides the cute NY blonde (but her outfit was suckified too) I think this may be a season of bitch-slapping BHOYS!!!

Yay Runway - I'm such a fan...

Yes. I liked her.

Laura is my favorite right now. I loved her coat and a no-dren attitude.

Re: Malan mallory_blog July 13 2006, 22:19:08 UTC

I forgot her name.

Runway has become my favorite show over the last few years. It's just good tv LOL

Careful walking around that "pet sematary", it looks like a portal into another reality. Then again, maybe that's not such a bad thing.

I'm not sure which is freakier, the chicken or the frog.
