But if you ask me <i>and</i> my back pain how we're doing, well, answering that my back hurts wouldn't make much sense, would it? It would be redundant.

It's like peering into the fog. I can see the suggestion of shapes, but I don't have any pictures of snails yet. And I would say putting all these pictures here is cleaning house for the next thing, but I don't honestly don't know the next thing. I'm working on a wire lately.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">If I were out ahead of my posts a few days this collection could work a treat because every time I reviewed this post pre publication I would maybe delete one photograph, and by that means we'd get down to just the good ones.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Instead, I have about 45 minutes before I go to bed. I'll try to check in every 15 minutes and see if there is anything to fix and delete.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">I currently have eight pictures here for you to look at. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">I won't amend these comments, and you can do the count below to see what happened. For all I know I won't have deleted anything, or maybe I'll have raced off to try to make a picture of a snail!

Review movies</span></b></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">I might exult wildly over a movie, or conduct societal analysis with a movie, but just... review a movie? Not really my thing.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><b><span style="font-size: large;">2. Talk about art I have mixed feelings about.</span></b></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">I am more inclined to exult wildly, or condemn bitterly, the complex middle ground isn't usually of great interest to me.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><b><span style="font-size: large;">3. Open my comments with a list of things that I don't usually do here, but am proceeding to do anyway.</span></b></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">And yet here we are!</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">A few months ago I wrote a review of the movie <i>Wonka</i>, despite not having seen it. But now I've seen it. So I feel a kind of responsibility, a compulsion even, to set the record straight.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">In my quite favorable review of the movie without having seen it here is what I really liked:</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">1. Hugh Grant as an Oompa Loompa.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">2. The casting in general, though aside from Hugh Grant, most notably Timothee Chalamet as a younger Willy Wonka.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">3. The colorful setting and whimsey created by the brilliant director of the charming <i>Paddington</i> movies, Paul King.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Having seen the movie here is what I liked:</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">1. Hugh Grant as an Oompa Loompa.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">2. The casting in general, though aside from Hugh Grant, most notably Timothee Chalamet as a younger Willy Wonka.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">3. The colorful setting and whimsey created by the brilliant director of the charming <i>Paddington</i> movies, Paul King.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">So one would think we were all set and I'd be urging everyone to rush off to see the movie.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">But it wasn't a very good movie despite all of the above. And this I would pin down to three basic reasons:</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><b><span style="font-size: large;">1. Fan fiction is not good fiction.</span></b></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">There is an old truism, I think reasonably now debunked, that the book is always better than the movie. Indeed great movies can be made from good books (<i>The Godfather</i>? Or how about <i>Paddington</i>!). But you know what is ruinously difficult, and so rare that no proper examples leap to my mind? </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Making a movie out of the world of a previous, fully completed work of art created by other people.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">This is always a kind of fan fiction, no matter how much money or artistic power is put into it.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">There is nothing wrong with fan fiction. If I want to write myself a new Pooh story, more power to me. But I am just doing it as a fan wanting more and ultimately trying to imitate or failing to capture. This is why fan fiction is not good fiction. Its power of creative invention is dampened. If one is truly faithful to the original it is stiff and repetitive in a new story, and if it is inventive and creative it too easily betrays the source material.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><b><span style="font-size: large;">2. Too many villains.</span></b></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The lovely <i>Charlie and the Chocolate Factory</i> (CCF) had, let's see, technically, <i>zero</i> villains. Oh, it had a bunch of bad kids. And I'm open to critiques about the virtues of all kinds of characters in that movie or book, but the one true, and rarely appearing, villain in the movie wasn't, late spoiler alert, actually a villain! He was testing Charlie's character. Zero villains! It is actually part of what is clever and great about that book and the movie. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><i>Wonka</i>, on the other hand, has three, count them, three<i> whole sets</i> of villains. There are the boardinghouse villains, the chocolate cartel villains, and the police villain. There are seven distinctly drawn, unredeemed villains in this movie. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">It's a fucking fan fic movie that misses an essential point and beauty of its source inspiration!</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><b><span style="font-size: large;">3. It's magic is magic.</span></b></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Magic is great. Though I'll note that <i>Charlie and the Chocolate Factory</i> (CCF) didn't exactly have any real magic at all, it was science and advanced candy making. It was about the <i>metaphorical</i> magic of candy. But if one has actual magic, that magic has to have rules. Wonka violates this relentlessly. For instance, if Willy Wonka can produce something like endless chocolate from his lovely velvet frock with no access to kitchens, sugar, cocoa, time to work on it, or really anything other than a small steampunk case with delightful mechanisms and small vials of colorful liquid in it, why doesn't he just conjure up wads of banknotes to free himself and all his friends?</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">In fact, there are so many ridiculous examples along these lines where the impossible regularly becomes conveniently possible when required, that I'd instead like to compare and contrast in this section one notable thing that appears in the two movies (<i>Wonka</i> and CCF): </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Flying.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Chocolate that makes you fly is big in <i>Wonka</i>. It's used many times and at important points. It is the result of... a random magic liquid that exists somehow? Besides violating my "magic being magic" rule, it also betrays the later events of CCF. In CCF flying inducing candy is just then being developed and is in an experimental and tentative stage. It cleverly comes from a soda. So it doesn't make much sense that Wonka had an easy to use potion for flying when he was younger. Ingeniously in CCF the soda bubbles are lighter than air and they make a person float (wonderfully, burping is what gets a person down!). An act of careful story engineering in the book, treated with careful scientific trepidation, and an actual explanation of how it works, becomes, in the prequel: </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Roald Dahl had flying candy (soda), so we have flying chocolate!</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Ah, so now I have worked myself up into a lather of fury towards <i>Wonka</i>. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">But you and I both know what that really is all about:</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">I just really, really wanted it to be good.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">It so almost was, and,</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">It wasn't even close.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>Feldenstein Calypsohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04896259011478481374noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1982462977744808678.post-50037035641266879682024-03-16T04:30:00.000-07:002024-03-16T04:30:00.242-07:00The lost treasures of early mid March<p> </p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">These aren't exactly outtakes, even though my first inclination was to call them that.

So I just have to go and squeeze out...</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">You know what?

They come along with great fanfare and shy optimism, and then they slowly fade out as I feel I am not quite getting to exactly what I want.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">What do I want?</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Something a little like Kandinsky paintings, but in photography.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Why do I want them?</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">I love that you're so interested and asking all these questions!</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Recently I have been self-consciously showing a new wave of these pictures, promising that it's almost over and just, bear with me. But then I go for a new walk to the streams, or find some new angle in my editing software suites, and we're right back at it. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">And so here we are back again.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">You will note my optimistic title. I know that it will all come to tears, and that while I am thrilled with this set of new breakthroughs I will find down the line, in a day, or a month, or maybe in two years, the real breakthrough I had been looking for all along. And the cycle will start anew.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">But just because we know the future does not mean we can't live in the present! And so I herald these pictures with the optimism that these, surely these, will capture your heart!</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Swearing to this is maybe a small act of hubris, but it conceals an advantage for us. I had a dozen pictures here, but after swearing to you that it was going to be worth it, I could only bring myself to leave four, these golden four, here in this post for you to see.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">And so here they are. It's worth it.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">I swear.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

But she leaves behind a long trail.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">I was helping a library visitor at the front desk and found there was a note on the person's record left by my worst of all colleagues:</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">"REI invoice that patron left behind is in the lost and found"</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">I rolled my eyes. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Not only was this invariably a scrap of used paper of no importance that should surely have been thrown away, but I am also certain that my co-worker managed to spend at least an absurd half hour on this task, endlessly composing the twelve-word note, staring blankly at the screen, putting another note on the invoice, and then likely filing it in some ridiculous place where no one will ever find it.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Still, I felt duty-bound after all of this to see if the library patron might want this dubious invoice.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">"It says on your record that you left behind an invoice from REI a few months ago. Do you want it if I can still find it?"</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">"No, I don't need it." The patron replied. "But that is so incredibly kind of you all to put it aside! If you can find it I will take it and throw it away so you can clear it off my record." </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">While I processed this strange solution, the person added: "This is so nice what you've done!" They opened up their wallet and removed a five-dollar bill. "</span><span style="font-size: large;"><span>Here, </span><span>I'd like to donate this in thanks."</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">I tried to tell them how unnecessary that was, but the patron absolutely insisted, so I threw the money in the cash register and thanked the person. Then I went to look for the invoice.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">I couldn't find it anywhere.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">I didn't offer to return the five dollars.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Sneaking in another few new, especially psychedelic water pictures here just because I can:</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

So it should be on the holds shelf. But it wasn't!</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The name of the book:</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><i>Ill-Fated Fortune</i>.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Oh, that can't be good.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">That can't be good at all!</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">We could end the story there, but I don't want to make you sad about the library today, so we'll switch from a story about the library as a metaphysical harbinger of tiny, dark fates to a more functional account of "How a library works".</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><i>Ill-Fated Fortune </i>is a paperback, and when I checked the shelves under the three-letter code where it should have been filed for the library patron, it definitely wasn't there. So I started looking anywhere in the H's in case it was misfiled. To my delight, after some time and a hint of despair, I actually found it! It had the wrong slip in it, but, in an act of random fortune, it by chance was alphabetically similar enough for me to find it still in the H's!</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Triumphantly I checked out the book to the happy patron, a "fortune" after all!</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Although the book looked absolutely awful, so maybe it was an ill-fated one.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>Feldenstein Calypsohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04896259011478481374noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1982462977744808678.post-52255148482248635342024-03-11T04:30:00.000-07:002024-03-11T04:30:00.148-07:00Spreading beneficial diseases to the people<p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">I have been running some kind of weird, low grade cold for a few days. My throat is scratchy and I'm run down, but there's not a great deal more to it than that.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">So I came to work.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">And I am very, very tired.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">I am sitting here at the front desk of the library on by no means a quiet day. My front desk partner, being a self-involved manager, has abandoned me, but I don't mind that as it's usually less stressful for me to be alone at the front desk. If things get hectic I just step it up. And if they don't, well, it's oddly cozy.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Yes, cozy. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">I have been at the library for many decades now. My level of self possession with the public has grown large indeed. Get me a toasty blanket, and a warm drink, and sure, I can nurse my quiet illness here, right in front of a thousand library goers. Usually I stay home sick from work, so as not to spread disease, but I think this ailment won't kill anyone. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">It might just mellow everyone out. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">In fact, this might just be what everyone needs right now. Everyone just needs to mellow out.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">So look for my calming, only slightly miserable disease to come your way soon. I'm spreading it in your direction. Aye, I'm spreading it everywhere!</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">It's going to save the world.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>Feldenstein Calypsohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04896259011478481374noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1982462977744808678.post-80725664917009555352024-03-10T04:30:00.000-07:002024-03-10T04:30:00.138-07:00The heart of the matter<p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Okay.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">We are almost through with this sudden paroxysm of water pictures. Without a great deal of fanfare I'll be showing what is probably, but not certainly, the last culmination of these pictures of burbling streams photographed and edited towards something that makes them like abstract paintings.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">There are a lot of pictures today.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">I am well aware it would be better if I just chose the two good pictures among them and showed that today. Then, maybe, instead of saying "Whoa, these are a lot to look at!", you might instead say "Well that's kind of pretty and maybe I'll visit this blog again in a couple years."</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Which would be an honor.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">But, the problem is, I don't know yet which two pictures are the good ones!</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">They all seem good at this point. Like God itself, I'm confused by the endorphins of creation. I am condeluded. I am over stimulated.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">So here is my darkish quote for the day:</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Only time can weather away the weakness.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">And, in the end, everything is gone.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

This, let me tell you, is a lot of stream pictures for the poor Internet to endure. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><b><span style="font-size: large;">Sidenote: </span></b></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Here is a useful and telling difference between real life and the Internet:</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">In real life it is pretty easy to look at water. On the Internet it is demanding and exhausting.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">In contrast, the Internet can watch people getting blown up all day long, but it's very unpleasant in real life.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">End of sidenote.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">But once I was onto the idea of an interlude, I thought of the intermission I once experienced in a movie theater watching <i>Doctor Zhivago</i>. Wouldn't it be nice, I thought, to take a day of relaxation in between the first 4,000 blogposts and the next 4,000 blogposts? I had a few random, uncompelling pictures that I took near where I took my water pictures, and I thought we could look at those while we gathered our strength for the next eleven year section.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Then of course I realized this is an extremely silly idea.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Then I did it anyway because when we hunt and kill something here at clerkmanifesto, we use every part of the animal, all the way from the cute, fluffy tail, to the scream of death.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

This patron has some kind of disabilities that I am not clear on. She never speaks, and she always comes to the front desk to check out her books, which is a kind of disability in itself. But maybe, after checking out her books dozens of times over the years, she has warmed to me. Because after checking out her four items she said, with deep, guttural sounds, something like:</span></p><p><b><span style="font-size: large;">"Hrrrrrruggghhhhllllllurrrrrrrrruurrrrrrrrrr."</span></b></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">It actually reminded me of the bear language as demonstrated in the Paddington movies.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">I replied.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">"You're welcome."</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>Feldenstein Calypsohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04896259011478481374noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1982462977744808678.post-9155051793188445092024-03-06T04:30:00.000-08:002024-03-06T04:30:00.247-08:00Left behind at the front desk<p> </p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">In addition to the random things library patrons leave behind at the front desk; water bottles, driver's licenses, small toys, keys, and so on, my co-workers also leave items behind when I replace them at the front desk. These are usually the uninteresting detritus of workers everywhere; water bottles, coffees, and assorted unfinished business, but there is also something a bit more interesting- web pages. I really enjoy finding my co-workers' leftover web pages.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Some of these pages are in interesting foreign languages like Polish and Urdu, which gives me a wider sense of the world. My travel-focused co-workers leave behind scintillating pictures of places I didn't even know existed but look so charming I could weep. One food-obsessed colleague can usually be counted on to leave behind menus from idiosyncratic local restaurants representing international cuisines. I may find the site of boutique hotels, book research, or fancy dress suitable for the celebrating Muslim man.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">But sometimes it's not nearly as straightforward as all that. Why is there a taxidermy site on my computer, or a picture of a single coin, or directions to a distant parking lot attached to no businesses of any kind? Right now on this computer, someone has recently divided 137 by 5. Somewhere in the backroom one of my co-workers is doing something with the number 27.4. I don't know what and I probably never will. But whatever it is, I'm glad they have interests. I'm not the only one:</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Sometimes our bodies are here, and our minds are far away.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>Feldenstein Calypsohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04896259011478481374noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1982462977744808678.post-90849928251882487962024-03-05T04:30:00.000-08:002024-03-05T04:30:00.138-08:00Swamp pictures begin and conclude<p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">I briefly introduced a first River/Swamp picture here a couple of days ago, and I've been poking at these this week. Here are a scant few more of these pictures today from my rambles along our decrepit late winter river backwaters. I can't say it's developing into any great new suite of themed pictures, but I am happy enough with them on an individual basis, so I'll continue playing around with them and see what happens.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">In the end they're probably just more fox and skunk pictures.</span></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

So I hopped on over to clerkmanifesto to see what was cookin' there and maybe catch up on a few posts I might have missed over the last week.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Clerkmanifesto, for those of you who haven't heard of it, is a (redacted due to conflict of interest).</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">I particularly enjoy clerkmanifesto, which has come out with a new take, bit of whimsy, short story, or bitter polemic leavened with rapscallion humor, every single day since 1970, for its sharp, insightful, and freakishly original takes on (redacted out of sheer confusion).</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">So there I was, ready for my morning shot of clerkmanifesto, when I arrestingly realized:</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Hey, it still had to be written!</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">So I wrote it. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Here it is.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">But don't you think that's a little weird? Of all the things I read, watch, view, or listen to on the Internet, clerkmanifesto is the only one that has to be made first.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">No one ever seems to mention that.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">But maybe it isn't the same for other people.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>Feldenstein Calypsohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04896259011478481374noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1982462977744808678.post-53175956733437146072024-03-03T04:30:00.000-08:002024-03-03T04:30:00.247-08:00The end of Winter<p> </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">I've been working on what I have been calling my Swamp pictures for a little while.

It speaks to the unnatural warmth of Minnesota this Winter, which has been the warmest one by far in its history. Instead of the purity of ice and snow down on the river, I have seen much low water effluvia, cold mud, and toxically altered water creatures.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">All that said, I don't think he's dangerous.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWCLuoVz1psC6JewO1usrNTEfqj9CZr2HY3D3UY7mtIEv5ir6ND2cIqbHyWn-NMhkhAQLfrI4TFLzc5gNDC4iPrXR2lmHOB7XSJ_dH7i2doa23JpANlW40OUR8MXsjEhoZwR-VeD1miV0vKYojl3QA1hv61aHsPDUKCdj7X62ktutcxmst9MJBJcBUOyE/s4032/swamp%203%20fin.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWCLuoVz1psC6JewO1usrNTEfqj9CZr2HY3D3UY7mtIEv5ir6ND2cIqbHyWn-NMhkhAQLfrI4TFLzc5gNDC4iPrXR2lmHOB7XSJ_dH7i2doa23JpANlW40OUR8MXsjEhoZwR-VeD1miV0vKYojl3QA1hv61aHsPDUKCdj7X62ktutcxmst9MJBJcBUOyE/w480-h640/swamp%203%20fin.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><p></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>Feldenstein Calypsohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04896259011478481374noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1982462977744808678.post-87432239665284730522024-03-02T04:30:00.000-08:002024-03-02T04:30:00.126-08:00Not talking to people<p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">I am not good at holding a grudge. Though my life has had its share of moments with people whom I vengefully resolved not to talk to, what I usually find is that they're not talking to me either, and they're doing a far better job of it than I could ever hope to.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">For instance, there are currently two, possibly three people I am not talking to at work. Rather than experiencing the cold-hearted black joy of snubbing them when they say something to me, it turns out they never say anything to me on their own anyway. Are they mad at me too, or did they never say anything to me, and only interact with me at my provocation?</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">More realistically maybe I should hold a hard, bitter, nearly unbreakable grudge with <i>everyone</i> around here, all the time, for absolutely no reason at all.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">And the minute they talk to me, forgive them.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>Feldenstein Calypsohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04896259011478481374noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1982462977744808678.post-13612137853874433832024-03-01T04:30:00.000-08:002024-03-01T04:30:00.125-08:00Our beloved villain leader<p> </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The County Commissioners have declared a day in honor of our departing County Manager. The County Commissioners loved this guy, but among the regular workers of the county he was known as "Hairdo" and reviled for his smarmy, upbeat, silver-tongued villainy and for his relentless self-aggrandizement posing as "County Aggrandizement"- I kind of bizarre Nationalism that only works on upper County management and County Commissioners. So I suppose the people of the county can decide for themselves whether on his "day" we are celebrating his time here or are reveling in the joyful relief of his departure.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">But whatever anyone chooses, the fact remains that we need a new County Manager now!</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">I was discussing recently with a co-worker how the villain du jour of the movies is AI. AI is the villain in the latest <i>Mission Impossible</i> for instance, and my co-worker said she saw a movie called <i>The Creator</i> where the AI takes the form of an adorable little girl. This seems like the clever sort of thing an AI would do, and it made me think that it's exactly the direction the County should go in choosing our next villainous County Manager.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Imagine an adorable AI genius five-year-old lifelike robot running the County. Who would care if the staff stopped getting even the barest cost of living wage increases? What would matter if our library windows were broken and we had to burn piles of weeded novels to keep our building habitably warm? Our leader would not be some insipid ne'er do well, it would be the brilliant Sunchild, full of all the knowledge of the Universe, adorably reining over our bitter dystopia like a glorious, distant dream.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">I'm just saying I think the County Commissioners would probably enjoy that.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>Feldenstein Calypsohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04896259011478481374noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1982462977744808678.post-68411442494846456962024-02-29T04:30:00.000-08:002024-02-29T04:30:00.136-08:00Too good to be true?<p> </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">In my role as the front desk of my library I must employ my deep cultural knowledge, my decades of library experience, and all the tools of my trade to answer the questions that library patrons bring to me.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> For instance, a man just asked me:</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">"Are the books on the cart that says "free books" free?"</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">"Yes." I replied.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">That may sound pretty simple to a layperson, but it's harder than it looks.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>Feldenstein Calypsohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04896259011478481374noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1982462977744808678.post-3871966977984693632024-02-28T04:30:00.000-08:002024-02-28T04:30:00.138-08:00Library Ent<p> </p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Lately at the library I have accumulated a list of various co-workers I am mad at. And I have noticed that in occasionally complaining to the (much larger, but probably not as large as it should be list of) colleagues who I'm not particularly mad at, they also appear to have a list of people they are unhappy with. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Unfortunately, nobody's list entirely matches with <i>my</i> list.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">This gives me a lonely feeling at work, and puts me in mind of a quote.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The quote is by Treebeard the Ent, an important treeman character that Pippin and Merry meet in <i>The Two Towers</i> book of <i>The Lord of the Rings</i>.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Treebeard is asked which side he is on in a conflict and he replies:</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">"I am not altogether on anybody's <i>side</i>, because nobody is altogether on my <i>side</i>"</span></p><p><br /></p><div><span style="font-size: large;">Fortunately this is not true for me at home.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">Alas that it feels all too true for me these days at the library.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">I mean, except for the automated check in machine. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">The automated check in machine loves me.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><br /></div><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>Feldenstein Calypsohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04896259011478481374noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1982462977744808678.post-56213574289428251202024-02-27T04:30:00.000-08:002024-02-27T04:30:00.126-08:00Rough days in library town<p> </p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Another day in library town, where I've worked most of my adult life. My days here runnin' herd on library books for my ruthless County bosses are winding down. I'd like to say some days get pretty rough now that the end of my career is only a year or four away, but there have always been rough days working library town. Mean patrons, capricious bosses, grinding workloads, clueless co-workers, and loads of human vomit, I have seen it all.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Well, maybe not <i>all</i>, just most of it.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Today an old colleague turned manager unceremoniously bumped my little art show and forgot most of what we agreed to about it. So I am now showing some stuff for the first few weeks of April, and then again in July, and it's neither what I wanted, how I wanted it, nor what we talked about. It's very disappointing.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">But then, I'm not here to make art. I may have wanted a career at the library being the library jester, the entertainer, and the freelancer, but my job, my real job, is...</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">It's...</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>Feldenstein Calypsohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04896259011478481374noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1982462977744808678.post-80256759431343769212024-02-26T04:30:00.000-08:002024-02-26T04:30:00.272-08:00Library Fictions: Take three<p> </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><i><br /></i></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><i><br /></i></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><i><br /></i></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><i>In struggling to write up the notes for the first part of my upcoming photography show at the library, I decided I would to work on them here. This is my third take. It starts the same as yesterday, and the day before, but then it travels in a different direction than either of them.</i></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><i><br /></i></span></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"> <b style="font-size: x-large;">Library Fictions</b></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The tiny stories that take place in these pictures never happened.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">This might be obvious when one of them shows a character from a Dr. Seuss book haughtily wandering through this library, or a dinosaur crashing down our staircase. But it may be less obvious when it realistically looks like a lion wandered into our teen room for an afternoon nap.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">But stories are a funny thing.</span></p><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Here you are, right at this moment standing in a library. It is both true, and it is also a story I am writing down before you ever knew you would read this. And even setting aside the stories of these pictures, you are at this moment surrounded by countless thousands of stories. The books and movies and songs and games are full of them. But so is the person walking by you as you read this. You, dear library reader, are full of stories yourself! Some are true, some are partly true, some are trying to be true, and some are true somewhere.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Some are going to be true.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">I have taken some pictures of this library. They are real pictures. Maybe crazy things happen in them that have never happened and never will.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">But in this library Frodo has walked to the cracks of doom and Darcy confessed his love for Elizabeth. Ice cream was made from scratch, dogs were trained, diseases diagnosed, and Scout was saved by Boo Radley.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">You dear reader have probably believed six impossible things before breakfast.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">So these pictures ought to be no problem for you at all.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;
