So, here's a comment/question in order to learn how this thing works...if i have a comment on a previous day do i post there? For instance, it's worth mentioning that Bart Giamatti was a scholar of medieval and renaissance lit--he has great (but outdated) stuff to say about Spenser's Faerie Queene, and other things i'm glad i was forced to read. Ahh, Giamatti's--big fans--havent' seen Sideways yet--i know 'tis shameful.
Secondly, I'm too lazy to read the "terms", bottom line: do i receive my own blog by agreeing and is there a fee?
it's all free, which is nice, so you get a blog by agreeing.
i generally would post the comment on the corresponding entry, but i think either way is correct.
and you should definitely see "sideways"
Hi there,
It's true I haven't seen Sideways either, but that has more to do with my car and not having one, etc., than interest; unfortunately the movie theatre in Bloomfield was replaced with a Starbucks.
Also, I looked up Giamatti -- in this cool new film encyclopedia i got from my pop -- and that was indeed how I learned about his pop. But you can make fun if you want. I don't mind.
there are blog sites (this one included) where you can have multiple contributers, so it could be done somewhat like that. i know of a different blogging site that has a section specifically for reviews, et al. you could also set up one of those forums things where there are different categories of stuff you can talk about (i.e. there'd be a book forum, a film forum, etc.)
i count 6 or 7 people, i think, although i could probably get some stats.
yeah you should. it's entertaining and scary, all at the same time.
Ira Glass rocks. I wish he was my dad.
so today i spent 4 minutes reading the blog and it wasn't enough--this is all to say that i am all for your idea matt (remember we tried this earlier and it never took off--these were the days before 1 mil strong Americans were bloggin--plus i just couldn't get the idea out of my head. Essentially i just wanted to read the creative thoughts of the most creative people i know--that's y'all). So excited, but must teach the kiddies and go to meetings--peace
jo,
i was completely serious about Bart--see one of his books:
Earthly Paradise & the Renaissance Epic by Giamatti, A. Bartlett. I assume there is one one Bart.
well, you really should read at least one other mag, say atlantic monthly or harper's - but no, if you only read bukowski, then you'd be a bad person...at least, to be around. on the other hand, i don't have a rejection slip from a/c monthly or harper's, but i do have one from the new yorker, or at least used to...oh, my
mike -- thanks for the tip. i always like that sort of stuff, was quite the little studier of mythology and arthurian legend at one time and enjoy it still
luc -- i wish Ira was your Dad, too
saw him at the Benedum -- was it a coupla years ago? -- house lights down for the first 15 minutes or so, until he sadly announced that he had pled to be allowed to keep them down for the remainder of the show but had been forced to light up, w/ the magic bit as an opener only
random bukowski quote:
"yeah i agree he's a pretty good read, but who'd want to be such an asshole?"
-- modest mouse
So this is the 16th comment for this day--joy--and it's a long one.
I just wanted to plug Ira and Kurt (360). I wrote emails to both hosts, quite naively (sp?), and asked something to the effect: "How can I have your job?" I was much more subtle and still did not receive a response--
Someone please remind me to answer emails from the little people trying to overcome their proletariat status when I become a bigtime NPR person. How rude. I think we need a new word (cf. Googlist) for such NPR Superstars...hmmm.
I was serious when I wrote, however, and only wish that I could be involved in something akin to these shows. But I agree with matt--they could be better--it is sad when this is the best out there.
I imagine that in Europe they are not starving for culture--am I delusional in this? Then again, I think I learned this from something I heard on Studio 360.
Around here the times for each show are inconvenient and I'm not on the web at home (Sunday am for 360--which means sometimes we skip church if the show is really good).
