Lewis Carroll in the Other Blogs
- - This is unusual. Usually the dinosaurs go to Dindrane's office to sign up for the Glorious Revolution or Siege's armory and BBQ shack to get outfitted with lasers. I was about to point him in the right direction when he said "Hello. I was told to talk to you about my website." Again, a little strange, but you get used to strange working around here. "All right, tell me about your website." It's called ty.rannosaur.us. The greatest website that a t-rex's fingers can make. Paying tribute to no
- - I imagine saying the word to a kid; “food court”, To Barbie, or Lewis Carroll, maybe. “What do you think?” I’d ask. Some dim might jail a hot dog, or ice pop, but, I bet most people think court like King Arthur, or Penelope. Some young maidens and brazen knights boozing a circle, And a jester bobbing round with a bell on, Only it couldn’t have been fun cos no one brushed their teeth, Or washed or chewed or used tampons. I always imagine the women cleaned up a bit, and that’
- - The very excellent http://litminds.org/blog/2008/05/literary_mix_cd.html blog today is pimping Martha Pettit’s “My Awesome Literary Mix CD.” and so am I! Martha works at the San Fran indie bookstore The Booksmith. She created this list, as quoted in Lit Minds, because “I was inspired by the song Wuthering Heights by Kate Bush; [we] were discussing what a great song it is and I relayed the story of a friend who also loved the song but had no clue that it was a reference to Emile Bronte’s nove
- - Anyone who reads this blog has long since caught on I love books. It's not just the books I read though. I also love journals and sketchbooks. I was using my own form of this long before these made it on the scene but I did start using them all the same. The moleskine. Well known moleskine users (despite the company's founding in 1996) are said to be Henri Matisse, Vincent Van Gogh, Ernest Hemingway, Andre Breton, Pablo Picasso, and Bruce Chatwin. Moleskins have made cameo appearances in . . .
- - 1) Mahendra Singh (an illustrator busily fitting Lewis Carroll into a protosurrealist straitjacket with matching dada cufflinks) has made available the Preface and Fits 1 & 2 of his illustrated Hunting of the Snark as a PDF. This is one of my favourite poems. Drawing on surrealist and protosurrealist sources past and future, Mahendra has managed to impossibly capture the spirit of this poem exactly right. Bravo. Bravo. 2) This installment of Dinosaur Comics (pointed out by Our Bold Hero) makes
- - Achinta McDaniel’s LA-based dance company fused Lewis Carroll with Bollywood elements for last fall’s Paheliyan (Riddles): The Story of Alice: Take one part ballet, toss in bits of tap, jazz and hip-hop, then blanket it all with a variety of Indian movement. You get Bollywood-Tech… The original story remains intact, but there are changes. For example, the White Rabbit becomes the Brown Bunny Rabbit. Musician Aalok will appear as the sitar-playing Caterpillar. Dhol Nation will play live pe
- - Bem vindos, queridos leitores! Na sexta-feira sempre teremos posts sobre variedades. Eu irei escrever sobre o mundo da música.

- - This was by far, my favorite poem as a kid. It was written by Lewis Carroll. You can really appreciate a poet who can make up their own words, but yet, make them sound as though they were real. I was on the forensics team in middle school and this was one poem that I read at almost every meet. How can one resist saying “the vorpal blade went snicker-snack”, it just BEGS to be said out loud. The Jabberwocky ‘Twas brillig, and the slithy toves did gyre and gimble in the wabe.
- - Photo by Kirbmart1000 A few months ago, I met a guy named Leonard Knight who’s spent the last 20 years building a folk art masterpiece called “Salvation Mountain.” Leonard lives in the back of his pickup truck and usually sleeps under the stars. Visitors bring him food, paint, and minor donations, and Leonard continues to work on his adobe mountain and ~200 other folk art projects meant to convey the message that “God Loves Everyone.” Leonard’s mountain has been likened to an epic work of fo
- - This is going to be one of those “entertainment-focused” weekends. It started for me Thursday night with Part 1 of the three-part series finale of LOST. Because it has already been announced that 2010 will be the final season, and because there are fewer than 40 episodes remaining, this has been a season of revelation—some surprises, but also some just confirming the theories we’ve been speculating about for the past three years. Last night’s episode served really as a setup for the two-
- - Przedstawienia maj 16th, 2008 Autor przyjął przezwisko Lewis Carroll. Trzymał się go na mocy całe egzystencja, explicite oddzielając matematyczne dzieła naukowe oraz popularnonaukowe prace o matematyce oraz grach logicznych (które sygnował prawdziwym nazwiskiem) odkąd literatury pięknej, wydawanej pod pseudonimem. Był aż do tego stopnia będący skutkiem, iż odsyłał nie przeczytane listy, które przychodziły aż do Lewisa Carolla na adres uniwersytetu[6]. Alicja wewnątrz Krainie Czarów ewentualn
- - Kalendarium maj 16th, 2008 Zgodnie z dziennikami Dodgsona, na wiosnę 1863 dał on nieukończony rękopis Przygód Alicji poniżej ziemią znajomemu bajkopisarzowi Henry\\\\\\\’emu Kingsleyowi, który pełen podziwu skłonił panią Liddell, iżby namówiła Dodgsona do publikacji. Zaskoczony skryba pokazywał robota kolejnym znajomym, pomiędzy innymi swemu przyjacielowi także mentorowi George\\\\\\\’owi MacDonaldowi (również autorowi literatury dziecięcej), którego dzieci zachwyciły się Alicją. MacDonald pl

Szybko powstało nowe edycja, wydrukowane wewnątrz grudniu tego samego roku, ale noszące datę 18
