For some reason the Caleb Larsen web site brought this one to mind. Here’s the assignment: imagine you have done some piece of creative work (which, of course, you haven’t…have you) and write a review or piece of criticism of that work from the point of view of some reviewer or commentator, fictional or actual (you choose–let your lawyer guide you), writing for some fictional or actual publication. The critic’s response can be favorable or not. It must be a made-up work (Dale can’t imagine a critical response to the Symphony, for instance, since that actually exists–or is actually coming into existence, or so he says). I think such reviews and responses should begin to litter our blog flow from time to time over the next few months. And in our comments to the posts, let’s treat the work as real and respond accordingly by perhaps agreeing or disagreeing with what has been written, adding our own details to “the work in question” as we see fit. Dress it up however you wish. Scholarly or popular critical modes. Photos? Quotes? Citations? Comparisons to both real and other equally fictitious works? “Some piece of creative work” is meant to be broad and all-encompassing. You can just as easily see yourself as some Larsen-like creature as you can imagine yourself to be America’s next important writer.

Really Terrible
I was thinking that these guys might be Lichtenbergian, but two things give me pause: 1) we, for all our frivolity, never set out to be inadequate; we do care about the quality of our work. And 2) these guys have actually put together a world-renowned (of sorts) orchestra. I don’t think we’ve done anything like that.
The aphorisms of GCL
It is finished. I have read through my little paperback edition of The Waste Books of Georg Christoph Lichtenberg and put a star next to all those which I think would be pertinent to our Society. (I will admit that the longer and probably more philosophical entries I did not check and barely read.)
I have put them into the Quote Rotator, and so now you can be as amazed as I have been at their polish, their wit, their just plain applicability to us and the world we live in. I’ve set the Rotator to change the quote every 60 seconds so that you have plenty of time to savor each one. If you want an immediate change, hit reload nike air max pas cher.
It would be interesting to hear everyone’s reactions to these nuggets of wisdom. Which are your favorite, which inspire you, which are all too horribly close to the truth? or post or something.
If you find a typo in one, please let me know. It’s easiest for me if you give me the “waste code,” i.e., the waste book letter and the aphorism number: F.42 or whatever.
Interestingly, there are 404 selections. In internet speech, of course, that’s the code for Page Not Found. Make of that what you will.
