telling tales...

After making a cheap crack at his expense in a previous entry, i decided to pull down Jung's Memories, Dreams and Reflections from the shelf last night, and - just to rub his synchronous point home to me - what do i find

oh wonderful and chilling story

[wytchcroft]

yes - i agree, and a lucky find for me! :))

[i_am_nyman]

holy wow, that story definitely seems right up your alley, i'd say!

interesting connections made by you (re:buffy, persona).

speaking of jung have you seen that new cronenberg jung/freud flick yet? i heard it's a-good!

[wytchcroft]

not yet - but i will :)) and oh yes, the Jung v. Freud antics in the book are fantastic (and daft) - like a woody allen skit from 1975 or something!

and that's not to decry the intellects of either necessarily.

//and that's not to decry the intellects of either necessarily.//

pfft, and why would it? allen claims to be quite fond of both if i recall correctly.

and, yea, i need to get to the theatre and see this flick! but first, i wanna see Carnage!

[wytchcroft]

yes, i was pretty staggered! and the book as a whole is well worth a wry re-read :))

That is absolutely fascinating, and I love the last picture. I've added it to my to-read list.

[wytchcroft]

glad it was of interest :))

the images are from different sources (and i should make them smaller methinks) that last pic is of the Swedish musician/artist Karin Dreijer Andersson, (from The Knife and Fever Ray and others), though i have monkeyed with it a bit, of whom i am a big fan.

[wytchcroft]

i very much recommend the book i linked to;

[pointedview]

I think I'd love that: it sounds like a text that would've been suitable in one of my college courses where we focused on classics by female authors (Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley was one). I have added it to my to-read list!

Thank you for the recommendation! I always appreciate good mental nourishment. :)

Your profile page is one of my favourite on LJ. I imagine Peterborough will have a shrine of you some day.

[wytchcroft]

Peterborough? they're more likely to put me in the stocks!!!

but thanks for the compliment :)

i'm not entirely sure what you see in it, but, on behalf on my profile page and i; cheers! much appreciated! :))

keep on keepin' on :)

Don't be so modest. I've seen them at the train station, when you're not there, they look thoroughly lost without you. Lost and cold. It can't be a coincidence.

i know, and really i've only got the profile page i have out of charity (shh! don't tell IT that though!)
but what more can one do?
raise the public awareness i guess; a profile page is for life - not just for xmas.
i do feel extra sorry for them out there in this weather but at least a station is a roof over their heads.

anyway, i'm sure the daily express will sort it soon, a nice camp overseas and a quick execution.
really, it's for the best.
