Having played the instru- ment for, then, almost two decades, I thought that a novelist would not, could not, feature specialty instruments such as the C-melody sax if he did not play the horn himself. Once the saxophone had caught my attention, I noticed all sorts of uncommon references that seemed to confirm my hunch that Thomas Pynchon himself played the instrument: McClintic Sphere’s 4½ reed, the contra- bass sax of Against the Day, Gravity’s Rainbow’s Charlie Parker passage.

    GET REAL HONORS THESIS Presented to the Honors College of Texas State Univers

    GET REAL HONORS THESIS Presented to the Honors College of Texas State University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for Graduation in the Honors College by David Randolph Russell San Marcos, Texas May 2016 GET REAL by David Russell Thesis Supervisor: ________________________________________________ Alan Schaefer, M.F.A. Department of English Second Reader: ________________________________________________ Ron Haas, Ph.D. Honors College Approved: ________________________________________________ Heather C. Galloway, Ph.D. Dean, Honors College Acknowledgments I owe tremendous gratitude to everyone who helped this project come to fruition. This includes those who collaborated on the project, those who encouraged me throughout the process, and those who have ever had any influence on my perspective—may their influence shine on this album. First and foremost, I thank Professor John Hood. This thesis wouldn’t exist were it not for his impact. Four years ago—a freshman at Texas State University with no idea where to steer my academic path—I took the fateful step into Mr. Hood’s Honors screenwriting class. I finally had a direction in which I was inspired to drive my focus in college: creating. Professor Hood was the first professor that I had at Texas State who took a personal interest in me and inspired me to work harder. Through Mr. Hood’s support, I have become an Honors class junkie and have learned to value my own potential with a confidence that I wouldn’t otherwise have. I am grateful to Professor Hood for believing in me and helping me get to where I am today. Secondly, I thank Professor Alan Schaefer, who has not only amazed me with his knowledge of 1960s European cinema but has also been a fellow musician in the contemporary Austin scene with whom I’ve been able to discuss rock ’n’ roll.
  • THE COLLECTED POEMS of HENRIK IBSEN Translated by John Northam

    THE COLLECTED POEMS of HENRIK IBSEN Translated by John Northam

    1 THE COLLECTED POEMS OF HENRIK IBSEN Translated by John Northam 2 PREFACE With the exception of a relatively small number of pieces, Ibsen’s copious output as a poet has been little regarded, even in Norway. The English-reading public has been denied access to the whole corpus. That is regrettable, because in it can be traced interesting developments, in style, material and ideas related to the later prose works, and there are several poems, witty, moving, thought provoking, that are attractive in their own right. The earliest poems, written in Grimstad, where Ibsen worked as an assistant to the local apothecary, are what one would expect of a novice. Resignation, Doubt and Hope, Moonlight Voyage on the Sea are, as their titles suggest, exercises in the conventional, introverted melancholy of the unrecognised young poet. Moonlight Mood, To the Star express a yearning for the typically ethereal, unattainable beloved. In The Giant Oak and To Hungary Ibsen exhorts Norway and Hungary to resist the actual and immediate threat of Prussian aggression, but does so in the entirely conventional imagery of the heroic Viking past. From early on, however, signs begin to appear of a more personal and immediate engagement with real life. There is, for instance, a telling juxtaposition of two poems, each of them inspired by a female visitation. It is Over is undeviatingly an exercise in romantic glamour: the poet, wandering by moonlight mid the ruins of a great palace, is visited by the wraith of the noble lady once its occupant; whereupon the ruins are restored to their old splendour.

    Raw Thought: the Weblog of Aaron Swartz Aaronsw.Com/Weblog

    Raw Thought: The Weblog of Aaron Swartz aaronsw.com/weblog 1 What’s Going On Here? May 15, 2005 Original link I’m adding this post not through blogging software, like I normally do, but by hand, right into the webpage. It feels odd. I’m doing this because a week or so ago my web server started making funny error messages and not working so well. The web server is in Chicago and I am in California so it took a day or two to get someone to check on it. The conclusion was the hard drive had been fried. When the weekend ended, we sent the disk to a disk repair place. They took a look at it and a couple days later said that they couldn’t do anything. The heads that normally read and write data on a hard drive by floating over the magnetized platter had crashed right into it. While the computer was giving us error messages it was also scratching away a hole in the platter. It got so thin that you could see through it. This was just in one spot on the disk, though, so we tried calling the famed Drive Savers to see if they could recover the rest. They seemed to think they wouldn’t have any better luck. (Please, plase, please, tell me if you know someplace to try.) I hadn’t backed the disk up for at least a year (in fairness, I was literally going to back it up when I found it giving off error messages) and the thought of the loss of all that data was crushing.
