It is only through this lived experience that the researcher was compelled to go outside the structures of the…

Saw your post about George and the studio - I've actually had a fic simmering in my brain for the past month, about George writing music (not sure what direction you were going in but mine was super sweet and fluffy - big surprise there lol)

omg I love that!!!

honestly, I don't see george pursuing anything lyrical on his own. he wrote and performed a song with Dream, but it was clearly a comedic song and nothing serious the way dream gets into music. there was also the stream with karlnap and glaive where they tried to make a song, but again it wasn't anywhere near being serious or thought out. I think if he were to make music seriously, he would initially try rap, hip hop, or hyper pop, but I think he would lose interest in songwriting quickly.

with the way george often plays with objects, listening to their sounds and then mimicking them with endearing fascination, I feel he would be drawn more to the actual noise making and manipulation of sound rather than making "music." he's quick to pick up instruments and will show off, but he doesn't sit at an instrument with the intention of composing. I'm curious what the "drudio" rules are in order to have a notebook dedicated to it, but I hope that they all get a chance to play with sound in a way that isn't formulaic music production. music, just as any art form, is about experimentation and play. it's no secret I love all of george's little noises, but I would love to see how he could turn those sounds, and sounds he likes, into some zany and offbeat melodies.

now his own music taste as first seemed restricted with what I previously mentioned, but he has now shown an appreciation for classical and instrumental pieces as well as trying out new music and music genres. even if it's for the meme, he is willing to genuinely listen to music that Americans/Brits don't usually enjoy or take seriously (ex: him wanting to play Germany music for the recent snack stream). so, with that, here are some songs I would love to show him that I think would be in his goofy, noisemaking nature:

[lil-melody-moon]

hello, it's pickle! being a librarian would be super cool, there's so many good books out there! do you have any favorite books or types of books to read? my personal favorites are 'their eyes were watching god' by zora neale hurston and 'entangled life' by merlin sheldrake ! hope everything is good for u!

-pickle

Hello <3

Yeah, the job practices were very nice, even if a few days sucked, but ya know. It all depended on the librarians and not everyone are amazing. That's how it is.

I don't have favorite books, I'm literally reading whatever has a nice sounding plot, but if it comes to types of books, I really love band's/musician's biographies and some good fantasy books. I'm trying to finish one book now, it just drags on forever. It's the third book in the series "A Court of Wings and Ruin" by Sarah J. Maas and as much as I like the previous two this one is just... UGH. I will finish this one and then I'm moving to John Lennon's biography by Philip Norman I bought a while ago, like straight away!

Never heard of your favorite ones, will definitely check them out!

Yes, it's somehow good. I only had to sit through a lecture of one old hag I hate. I have lessons with her tomorrow as well, I need help *sobs* Hoping your day is good as well <3

Books I enjoyed in 2022

Inspired by the legendary @gaudigf 🌷!

Memorial: an Excavation of the Iliad by Alice Oswald (read in February). Potentially the most influential poem I've ever read + where my blog title comes from! Just look at the scene of Hector's death:

And HECTOR died like everyone else

He was in charge of the Trojans

But a spear found out the little patch of white

Between his collarbone and his throat

Just exactly where a man’s soul sits

Waiting for the mouth to open

He always knew it would happen

He who was so boastful and anxious

And used to nip home deafened by weapons

To stand in full armour in the doorway

Like a man rushing in leaving his motorbike running

All women loved him

His wife was Andromache

One day he looked at her quietly

He said I know what will happen

And an image stared at him of himself dead

And her in Argos weaving for some foreign woman

He blinked and went back to his work

Hector loved Andromache

But in the end he let her face slide from his mind

He came back to her sightless

Strengthless expressionless

Asking only to be washed and burned

And his bones wrapped in soft cloths

And returned to the ground

Brideshead Revisited by Evelyn Waugh (reread in March). This shaped my identity fundamentally. A wonderful intermingling of comedy and tragedy.

Song of Solomon by Toni Morrison (read in April). My favourite Toni Morrison! A touch of magic realism. No-one names characters as skilfully as Morrison.

The Iliad as translated by Caroline Alexander (read in May). What is there to say even.

The Horse, the Wheel, and Language by David W. Anthony (read in May). Genuinely fascinating read about the spread of Proto-Indo-European. Would recommend it wholeheartedly!

The Old Arcadia by Philip Sidney (read in July). Bucolics + cross-dressing, what's not to love?

Fun Home by Alison Bechdel (reread in September). Wonderfully constructed familial bonds.

Devotions on Emergent Occasions and Death's Duel by John Donne (read in September). So much rot and putrefaction!

Dancing in Odessa & Deaf Republic by Ilya Kaminsky (read back to back in October). Mesmerizing poetry collections would recommend wholeheartedly.

The Absolutist by John Boyne (read in November). Your typical WW1 drama. The first page was crafted in a lab to enthral me. A traumatized man returns from the trenches haunted by his dead best friend who he had an ambiguous relationship with on a train to return letters said friend had received from his sister… When I saw this premise I gasped because I am 100% earnest this has been one of my little daydream scenarios for years.

Selected Poems by Rainer Maria Rilke (translated by Susan Ranson and Marielle Sutherland, read in November). Got it for a friend's birthday but naturally had to read it as well to ensure quality. Especially enchanted by the Duino Elegies.

Entangled Life by Merlin Sheldrake (read in December). And recommended by Medli Gaudigf! Mushrooms. Written in a beautiful and informative way.

Poet in New York by Federico García Lorca (translated by Greg Simon and Stephen F. White, read in December). Got this for my birthday :) my first Lorca, gifted by a friend who knew I wanted to get into him, influenced by my infatuation with Leonard Cohen. Beautiful. This edition also includes some letters to his family, they're sparkling and witty and filled with warmth.

All Quiet on the Western Front by Erich Maria Remarque (translated by Arthur Wesley Wheen, read in December) read on a flight. More dying horribly in the trenches :D.

Liturgical Press just keeps publishing wonderful books! Here are two that are hot off the press and well worth a look. “Welcome All as Christ” is for anyone in parish leadership who seeks to make their local faith community a joyful place where newcomers are, in the words of Saint Benedict, “received as Christ.” Meanwhile, Philip Sheldrake’s “A World Transfigured” certainly speaks my language, as a new contribution to mystical theology. Jumping off of Karl Rahner, the book considers mysticism over the lifespan in terms of five dimensions: love and desire, knowing and unknowing, wonder and beauty, everyday practice, and the mystic as a radical prophet. All of this is much to my ears, I’m eager to curl up with a nice warm cup of herbal tea and have a nice long visit with this one!

Dr. Rupert Sheldrake's Morphic Resonance theory. “After obtaining his PhD, Sheldrake became a fellow of Clare College,[35] working in biochemistry and cell biology with funding from the Royal Society Rosenheim Research Fellowship.[36] He investigated auxins, a class of phytohormones that plays a role in plant vascular cell differentiation.[37] Sheldrake and Philip Rubery developed the chemiosmotic model of polar auxin transport.[38]

Sheldrake says that he ended this line of research when he concluded,

The system is circular. It does not explain how [differentiation is] established to start with. After nine years of intensive study, it became clear to me that biochemistry would not solve the problem of why things have the basic shape they do.[37]

Having an interest in Indian philosophy, Hinduism and transcendental meditation, Sheldrake resigned his position at Clare and went to work on the physiology of tropical crops in Hyderabad, India,[9] as principal plant physiologist at the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT) from 1974 to 1978.[7][9] There he published on crop physiology[39] and co-authored a book on the anatomy of the pigeonpea.[40]

Sheldrake left ICRISAT to focus on writing A New Science of Life, during which time he spent a year and a half in the Saccidananda Ashram of Bede Griffiths,[9][41] a Benedictine monk active in interfaith dialogue with Hinduism.[1] Published in 1981, the book outlines his concept of morphic resonance,[9] about which he remarks,

The idea came to me in a moment of insight and was extremely exciting. It interested some of my colleagues at Clare College – philosophers, linguists, and classicists were quite open-minded. But the idea of mysterious telepathy-type interconnections between organisms and of collective memories within species didn't go down too well with my colleagues in the science labs. Not that they were aggressively hostile; they just made fun of it.[9]

After writing A New Science of Life, he continued at ICRISAT as a part-time consultant physiologist until 1985.[7]

Since 2004,[42] Sheldrake has been a visiting professor at the Graduate Institute in Bethany, Connecticut,[41] where he was also academic director of the Holistic Learning and Thinking Program until 2012.[41] From September 2005 until 2010, Sheldrake was director of the Perrott–Warrick Project for psychical research for research on unexplained human and animal abilities, funded from Trinity College, Cambridge.[35][43] As of 2014, he was a fellow of the Institute of Noetic Sciences in California and a fellow of Schumacher College in Devon, England.[44]’” “...Sheldrake's morphic resonance posits that "memory is inherent in nature"[3][8] and that "natural systems ... inherit a collective memory from all previous things of their kind."[8] Sheldrake proposes that it is also responsible for "telepathy-type interconnections between organisms."[9][10] His advocacy of the idea offers idiosyncratic explanations of standard subjects in biology such as development, inheritance, and memory.

Other work by Sheldrake encompasses paranormal subjects such as precognition, empirical research into telepathy and the psychic staring effect.[10][27]”
