MayDay 2 - pierwsze występy już latem!

[mschocolateworld]

Moim zdaniem najważniejsze jest pokrewieństwo dusz. Spotykasz się z kimś i natychmiast masz poczucie, że znasz się z nim od dawna. A potem, podczas życia razem i różnych przeciwności losu dowiadujesz się, czy możesz na tę kobietę liczyć, czy zawsze będzie stała za Tobą murem. Oczywiście można do domu przyprowadzić lalkę barbie, żeby pachniała i bawiła się swoim wdziękiem. Ale to za mało na przyjaciela w podróży. Zresztą każda barbie z czasem traci blask.

Te wszystkie braki z dzieciństwa, spychane wiecznie na margines, w przyszłości położą się cieniem na całym naszym życiu i staniemy się dysfunkcyjny uczuciowo.

Ask game

I was tagged by @drakenhert and I am very grateful although I have no idea how this works. Thank you, sweet friend <3

Questions:

Favourite colour: Probably yellow, but not neon. I like canary yellow and colours similar to it. Truly, I just love colours. You should see my wardrobe, it's filled with it.

Last song: Abandon the hospital by Everybody's Worried About Owen. Something about that song makes me go wild. Other recommendations: One October by Dom Fera, Evil Men by The Taxpayers, Ængus, The Prize-Winning Hog by The Toxhards.

Last movie: "Dzień Świra" (Day of the Wacko) dir. Marek Koterski. It can tell you all about Polish people in a satirical and ironic way. I think we all can relate to Adaś, the main character, a middle-aged teacher who is also an amateur writer. He faces the everyday life with difficulty, but who doesn't?

Currently watching: I don't have time to watch anything right now, but I watched Shadow and Bone like two weeks ago. Does that count?

Other stuff watched this year: The World Without End (great medieval drama, highly recommend), Guillermo del Toro's Cabinet of Curiosities (horror, not that scary but fascinating), The Nevers (science-fiction, my favourite show of all time, women <3), Dark Tourist (documentary, a guy visits quirky places)

Show i dropped this year: The Good Doctor. I was just too sad watching it.

Currently reading: Ulysses Moore #6 (idk the title in English). A really nice comeback to my childhood. Nostalgia and all that stuff. What I was surprised by is that even though I am not a child anymore, the language of the book is not boring at all.

Currently listening to: At this moment right now, Dirty Imbecile by The Happy Fits. But in general it varies, from Midwest emo to Pitbull, so that's not a good question.

Currently working on: My first ff. I am obsessed with it and since June, I have written more than 60k words. Although, I don't think anyone would be interested in reading it because, as my cousin and one of my friends said "The fandom has 7 people, you are one of them, three are your friends, two are actors who played in the show, and one is some mysterious person who is there for some unknown reason." If anybody's interested, I can send a link, but i don't know if you'll get it without watching the show (or more like truly get it).

Current obsession: The Nevers. This is my Roman Empire. I think of that show 24/7 and I will think of it until the day that I die. Just please go watch it, it's really good. Even better the second time because you get some new references.

Thank you all for reading this. It was really fun to do. I will tag few people but feel free to do it if you want to.

This marks the first year where I’ve reached my goal of at least 1 book per week for the year, and I’m reasonably proud of that. I’m especially proud that I didn’t overload the list with short works to reach that goal and was able to tackle some difficult or long works while maintaining a solid pace. I did find myself reading fewer literary works than I tend to prefer, and my nonfiction that wasn’t lectures was lower than I’d generally like (however much I do love lectures). 

Goals for next year: more foreign policy reading, more literary fiction, write something of my own.

The Misiek Koterski Show: Sherlock Holmes (2008)

Признаться честно, я ПОНЯТИЯ НЕ ИМЕЮ, про что этот... скетч, короткометражка? Ведь я не знаю польский. Все, что я уловил, то, что дело происходит на месте преступления и действует Холмс с Уотсоном. Холмса играет заглавный актер шоу, со склизским взглядом, дирстокер заменили кепкой, а Уотсон довольно расторопный и носит что-то вроде цилиндра или очень длинной шляпы. А вообще это явно какой-то несмешной и возможно даже абсурдный бред. Но он идет всего четыре минуты, так что почему бы не добавить его в холмсомарафон для веса.

It does not do to leave a live dragon out of your calculations, if you live near him; for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup.

I was reminded of this mishmash of the Tolkien quote and whatever source the second part came from. It was a particular favorite of the medievalist who tutored me in Latin, the late Fr. Joseph Koterski. If ever we needed proof that highly educated old dudes could still have a sense of humor, he was it.

Dr. Adam Van Wart received the 2022 Fr. Joseph Koterski, S.J., Research Fellowship for Philosophy in Theology of the Academy of Catholic Theology. Congratulations, Dr. Van Wart!

The intention for the Research Fellowship is to honor the memory of Fr. Joseph Koterski, S.J., by promoting high-quality scholarship in the area of Philosophy in Theology among members of the Academy prior to the seventh year after the completion of their doctorate, to assist their career advancement, and to encourage mentoring relationships between senior scholars and junior scholars within the Academy. The Koterski Fellowship carries an award for use toward a particular research project. Dr. Jacob Wood writes: “While there were several highly qualified applicants, the committee was impressed by the coherence, cogency, and timeliness of Dr. Van Wart’s proposal, which draws upon the ‘philosophical quietism… of Ludwig Wittgenstien, John McDowell, and other ordinary language philosophers,’ to explore how ‘Barth’s Christocentrism’ can ‘present the full implications of Aquinas’s teaching... regarding language as that through which the world is always made intelligible to us... especially in light of the conviction that God’s own Word has been definitively spoken to us in Christ.’  Dr. Van Wart ‘hope[s]… not to provide a new epistemological theory to replace what was sought by way of either realism or antirealism,’ but ‘to show that no such epistemic theory is necessary whatsoever for robustly sapiential theology to be faithfully conducted in the vein that is championed by the ACT and its mission.’ The Academy is grateful for the excellent scholarly work that Dr. Van Wart is pursuing, and hopes that the Koterski Fellowship will assist him in bringing it ultimately to fruition.”
