I Want To Tell You Something

Overworked. Underpaid.

I am two people right now. Split between a constant feeling of having a deep pit in your stomach from fear of not having finished something. Until that pit is anxiousness and for a second you have to take a few deep breaths because you know yourself. “Shit, I forgot to eat.” And the anxious feeling is gone because you forgot something as little as eating. My eyes are on fire. I rub them and take another sip of coffee. I heard my friends talking about how they took Adderall to finish their papers. I was desperate and so I turned and asked my friend, “Can you give me Tylenol and tell me its Adderall?” “Why? I can just give you Adderall” he responded, as if what I said didn’t make sense. His arm reached out towards me with a small pill between his fingers. For a second, I thought I may have needed it, reached out- “What am I doing?” [excerpt

Foreword: Is Reliance Still Dead?

One thing I found out when I was a prosecutor is that you should never tell a police officer he cannot do something, for that just serves as an open invitation for him to do it. In recent years, I have learned a similar lesson about legal scholarship which I should probably keep to myself but won\u27t. If you proclaim the existence of a scholarly consensus, this is an open invitation for academics to try to demolish such a claim

A drawing book for digital eyes

Looking at book covers may not tell you everything, but they do tell you something. A collection of leather-bound ‘how to draw’ books of the nineteen twenties exudes confidence, the expertise of the masters handed down. The titles indicate attention to technique, referring to ‘pencil drawing’, ‘lead pencil drawing’, or ‘pen and ink’, and speak of the ‘art’ of drawing. Some of these had been in print for fifty years. There are idealised classical figures, nature studies, but also stirrings of a more liberal approach. By the nineteen forties and fifties the books are less formal, less symmetrical, and more Do-It-Yourself: ‘I wish I could draw’, ‘Drawing at Home’, ’The Natural Way to Draw’, ‘Drawing Without a Master’. Some are slim volumes running in series devoted to subjects such as ships, cats, trees, even tanks. You draw the world around you

Biblical Discipleship Session 1

I don\u27t have to tell you, young people, this is a very, very unbelievably confusing generation. You know that. And you\u27ve been told that. Hard for you to have a perspective of any generation except your own. But it\u27s a very confused, people are absolutely confused. And have you noticed how intimidated people get it and how terse and rude they get on buses or anywhere? You just ask somebody something. They\u27re very jumpy and they come out at you and they\u27re kind of cynical...It\u27s that kind of generation though praise God that God has called us to move in on and conquer for Jesus Christ. But I want to tell you something. We\u27re not going to conquer this world for Christ unless we really come on as real, true, authentic disciples of Jesus Christ

‘No Longer Young and Not Yet Old’ London: Spatio-Temporal Ambivalence in Hanif Kureishi’s Something to Tell You

This article examines the peculiar spatio-temporal ambivalence of Hanif Kureishi’s 2008 novel, Something to Tell You. Building on Doreen Massey’s (2005) understanding of space and place, I put forth a new framework of spatial production and experience, comprising the cartographical and the phenomenological. Through these terms, I argue that we can engage with both the particularity and the plurality of the novel’s representation of London. Geographic Information System (GIS) software is employed both to make explicit the novel’s relationship to cartography, and to cartographic London, but, equally, to conceptualise Something to Tell You’s reconstellation of the city. By way of conclusion, I suggest that Something to Tell You bears a political and poetic ambivalence that is symptomatic of a wider hesitancy toward representing the capital (as representation relates to stultification). And whilst this unsettledness and non-surety as to the ‘where’ and the ‘when’ of London experience is, for protagonist, Jamal, a cause of great anxiety, is it nonetheless true to the ‘reality’, in Wolfreys’ (1999) sense of the term, of living, of doing, and of being in London

Tears Tell

[Verse 1]My thoughts turn back to you sweetheart, My dreams are all of you Why was it that we two should part? I’m sure I never knew Your love was all my own sweetheart For ever and for aye Why was it that we should depart When tears said we should stay. [Chorus]Tears tell the story to me, dear, Tears that I kissed away Love will not die so why try. Love is that same always Tears tell the story to me, dear, altho’ my love you denied Tears never lied so I’ll abide, Tears tell the story to me. [Verse 2]Your lips may lie but still you’ll sigh, When I have gone away You e’en may trick me with your eye Or lead my feet a stray But love you can’t deny sweetheart For something tells me true Those teardrops in your eye sweetheartSay I belong to you. [Chorus

"I want to say something good about you" : a cross-linguistic stydy of some polite formulae and their acquisition in a foreign language

In this paper I would like to discuss some ways of expressing the Speaker’s (S) good attitude towards the Hearer (H), namely compliments and congratulations. Expressing compliments or congratulating H on something S tries to tell H, using Wierzbicka’s “universal semantic primitives”: “I want to say something good about you.” (Fragment tekstu)

Letter from John Muir to [Kellogg family], 1910 Feb 23.

Den in the old HomeFeb. 23, 1910—Dear Mr & Mrs Kellogg.I should have written days ago to thank you for the good books & above all for the warm heart reception you have. I enjoyed it more than any letter can tell & I\u27m still tingling with it.I\u27m sending today by mail the two books you (Charlotte) said you would like. I\u27ve forgotten what you said about the copy of Stickeen, something about lending to friends. If it is not properly inscribed tell me & I\u27ll send another copy-Last Friday night we had a funny Sierra Club meeting to consider the Hetch Hetchy dam plan, as if it had not already received far too much consideration. But anyhow we got fun for our time.I managed to get about eighty of our club members out to dinner at the Poodle dog restaurant. The long flowery table flanked with merry mountaineers looked something like a Sierra Canyon so they called it, the Muir Gorge. After dinner we marched to the meeting, every face radiant & entered the hall in a triumphant rush, fairly overwhelming the poor astonished Hetchy dammers- Next morning the Call reported that I had packed the meeting, though forsooth I had only packed seventy seven stomachs.But nonsense enough, I must to work. I\u27m pegging away at old notes, occasionally finding something that may prove worth while.Thanking you again for that charming day & hoping to see you both again I am faithfully & affectionately yours John Mui
