Say What?

Being old, I like old sayings. I especially like the old Scottish proverb from the 1600s, “If wishes were horses, beggars would ride.” No, I didn’t actually use it myself in the 1600s, but I think it clearly conveys that you need to make things happen and not just wish for them to happen. However, I’m not sure the term beggars is politically correct these days. I think financially-disadvantaged…

New Australian Proverbs, by daj 2022.

Talk does not cook the bbq. That roo steak is not hopping onto the bbq by itself. Look the roo is cute and all, but if you don’t shoot it in the head we can’t eat it. A wombat burrows its own holes. Spilt beer is not worth crying over. Climb their backs and you’ll find the footy. The sun does not care about your lack of water. May the flies go up your nose and in your eyes. If you have a…

Terror AUs where some or all of the crew survive are a lot of fun, but I think we need to lean more into the comedy of the fact that – no matter where in the story the men get rescued, no matter from which particular brink of danger they’re snatched, no matter the context - that would have to have been an incredibly awkward journey home. As in, awkward enough that the crew of the random whaler that picked the boys up petitions their captain never to rescue any survivors from a maritime wreck ever again because honestly, captain, the vibes are just too toxic right now.

-

Little: You embarrassed me in front of all the men! And then, yeah, the whole mutiny thing, but that thing at the armoury was so fucking mean.

-

Jopson: I was right there, dying, and you bastards just left me!

-

Gibson: Were you about to fucking eat me?!

-

Fitzjames: Whoa, hold up George, you were happy to eat our dog?!

-

The entire crew: YOU TRIED TO SET US ON FIRE.

-

Crozier: Hey, anyone from Erebus remember how I said this was an act of hubris none of us would survive, and then none of you bastards backed me up? And then we almost didn’t survive it? Remember that, huh? Huh?

-

Hartnell: Look, Captain, I appreciate you saving our lives and all but the next time you fire off a rocket would you mind not doing so straight at my face, please? Thanks for understanding. Also Hickey and Tozer you fucked us all over and nearly killed us all, you absolute colossal pricks.

-

Goodsir: First girlfriend in my entire life and you wankers ruined EVERYTHING. And also that whole cannibalism thing.

-

Blanky: Remember when I lost my leg because you were having a hissy fit, Francis?

-

The Marines: Listen to Hickey, you said…he’s got a plan, you said…get out of here all in one piece, you said…

-

Tozer: You KNOCKED ME OUT and tried to use me as TUUNBAQ BAIT.

-

Irving: HEY HICKEY, THE BOOK OF PROVERBS SAYS ‘THE WRINGING OF THE NOSE BRINGETH FORTH BLOOD’ AND ONCE LITTLE AND HODGSON STOP SITTING ON ME I’M GONNA PROVE IT TO YOU, ARSEHOLE.

-

Sir John: …Ok, ok, my bad.

A. E. Housman's poem "Terence, this is stupid stuff" made the rounds recently, and this part of Terence's critic's verse caught my eye.

But oh, good Lord, the verse you make, It gives a chap the belly-ache. The cow, the old cow, she is dead; It sleeps well, the horned head: We poor lads, 'tis our turn now To hear such tunes as killed the cow.

I thought it might be a reference to some anecdote about the historical Terence killing a cow with a poem, Vogon-style, but apparently it's referring to an English nursery rhyme or folk song about music being an unsatisfying substitute for food—a farmer plays music to a cow rather than feeding her—or to a proverb based on same which flattens its meaning into simple death-by-cacophony. Terence's interlocutor does say the poetry gives him indigestion, after all.

On a tangentially related note, it is puzzling to see Terence, famous as a writer of light comedies, invoked as a sad and serious tragedian.

Basketball star PT2

The midday sun cast a warm glow over the Belgian streets as Y/N pulled up in her sleek Range Rover to pick up Julie Vanloo, her spirited teammate and confidante. Julie hopped into the car with an infectious grin, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

"Guess who's practically Hollywood royalty now?" Julie teased, nudging Y/N playfully as they drove towards their favorite lunch spot.

Y/N blushed, her hands tight on the steering wheel. "Oh, come on, Jules. You know that whole thing with Rachel Zegler was just a crazy coincidence. She's a Hollywood star, and I'm just a basketball player from Belgium. It's not like she'd actually want to go on a date with me."

Julie, unable to contain her enthusiasm, squealed, "Are you kidding? Rachel Zegler crushing on you is like winning the lottery! You're an absolute catch, Y/N!"

As they arrived at the cozy cafe, the owner greeted them with a knowing smirk. "Looks like you've got some famous admirers, Y/N. Better watch out for the paparazzi!"

Seated at their usual spot, Julie continued to playfully prod Y/N about sending a message to Rachel. "Come on, Y/N! Slide into those DMs and make history! I'd give anything to be in your shoes right now!"

Y/N rolled her eyes, "Yeah, right. Like Rachel Zegler is going to respond to a message from me. She's probably just joking about wanting to go on a date."

Julie's eyes widened, "Are you kidding? This is like a romantic comedy in the making! Hollywood actress falls for the Belgian basketball star. It's perfect!"

Y/N chuckled, still unconvinced. "Julie, you've watched too many rom-coms. This is real life, not a movie script. Besides, she lives in Hollywood, and I'm here in Belgium. It's not exactly convenient."

Undeterred, Julie leaned in, "Life is short, Y/N. You miss 100% of the shots you don't take, right?"

Y/N smirked, "Nice try, quoting a basketball proverb at me, but this is a whole different ball game."

As they debated the pros and cons of Y/N reaching out to Rachel, fans approached for pictures. One particularly enthusiastic fan brought up the Met Gala interview, and Y/N groaned playfully, "Yeah, that happened. Rachel Zegler is incredible, though. I'm just a basketball player from Belgium."

Once the fans dispersed, Julie resumed her campaign. "Look, Y/N, even your fans want this to happen. Imagine the headlines – 'Belgian Basketball Star and Hollywood Darling's Unlikely Romance!'"

Y/N sighed, still skeptical, "Julie, this is crazy. It's not like she'd ever consider dating me. We're in completely different worlds."

However, the twinkle in Julie's eye didn't waver. "Come on, Y/N. You're amazing, and who knows? Maybe Rachel Zegler is just waiting for you to make the first move. It's worth a shot!"

Reluctantly, Y/N pulled out her phone, her fingers hovering over the keys. "Fine, but this is probably the dumbest thing I've ever done."

As she crafted a message to Rachel, her heart pounded in her chest. "Hey Rachel, it's Y/N. I heard your interview, and, well, I was wondering if you'd be up for grabbing coffee or something sometime? 😊"

Hello,

Do you keep any text written 1000+ years ago close to your heart? Do you feel like the features of people who wrote text so long ago can be seen in the people around you? Thanks for your time and your blogging.

there are a lot of sumerian proverbs from the electronic text corpus that i think about very often, i encourage you to look through that website because i am sure that some of them will really leap into your heart. every time i visit it i am struck by a new one, but here are some that have stayed in my mind for months and years:

it is not yet 1000+ years since dante, but i think about dante a lot, especially the vita nova and his descriptions of love... many people have read the divine comedy but not as many have read the vita nova. it is short and it's beautiful and fascinating, i highly recommend you to read it! https://digitaldante.columbia.edu/text/library/la-vita-nuova-frisardi/

dante's life was really crazy, if you are interested in his poetry at all i really recommend reading about his life especially his insane exile thing. he's like grimes to me

there are a lot of old english poems and riddles i think about a lot too. this one is the best

sometimes i feel like the difference between the people who live now and the people who lived then is extremely small. there are times when i wonder how i can even know for sure that any of this is as old as people say it is, and what if it was all fake and written by modern people? some part of it is fake and written by modern people anyway since it is all translated into comprehensible modern english. i always end up thinking it doesn't matter either way, the vast distance of history is given meaning within my mind, and there is some small part of me that exists outside of time and was there with them too

"Men plan, God laughs. I am not a man, I love to plan, and I don't believe in God."

And

"Comedy and tragedy are the closest of partners; they share the same toothbrush."

Both from here if you want context:

"Men plan, God laughs" is a Yiddish proverb that haunts and delights me. I am not a man, I love to plan, and I don't believe in God. But I do believe in the humor of our universe. It's possible that this letter is all very funny now for reasons I do not yet know about and God is laughing his nonexistent divine ass off. It could be funny haha, or funny strange, or funny painful like the way you laugh about something sad and you're not sure why. The wires just got crossed. Comedy and tragedy are the closest of partners; they share the same toothbrush."- Meg Bashwiner from"The First Ten Years" by Meg Bashwiner and Joseph Fink

oh these are CLASSY jokes

Shaping The Bible

We do not have a complete copy of the Hebrew Bible (commonly called the Old Testament) that predates the return from Babylonian captivity and only fragments of Job and Numbers that date before it. The Old Testament as we know it today is based on a Greek translation of a copy of the Torah (first 5 books of the Old Testament) found in the ruins of Jerusalem as it was being rebuilt.

There is a fair question as to whether this was a bona fide relic left in the walls of the city by the original builders to bless it or a document copied down during the Babylonian exile and conveniently "found" by those returning.

The Old Testament as we know it clearly reflects the views of die hard Jewish monotheists, creating the impression of a strong monotheistic culture before the Babylonian captivity. However, archeological evidence indicates there were a number of divergent religious practices in Israel at that time. The hard core monotheists remained faithful to their view of Judaism despite several generations of enslavement to the Babylonian empire; many other captives assimilated into Babylonian culture and abandoned their cultural roots.

The Old Testament contains books of history (the books of Samuel, Kings, and Chronicles) that are clearly presented as condensed versions, referring the reader to now lost longer texts. There's a song book (Psalms), a book of proverbs, some poetry and philosophy, some historical fiction (the books of Ruth, Esther, and Daniel, all written long after the events occurred), and one theological comedy (Job, thought modern readers tend to interpret it in a straight forward manner instead of recognizing its tongue in cheek approach to various theological paradoxes), plus a variety of prophetic (which is not the same thing as predictive) writings.

As noted, all these are told through the filter of hard core monotheist survivors after nearly a century of captivity and exile in Babylon. How their experiences may have influenced their view of the stories of Exodus or the Flood narrative shaped Judaism from that point onward into a single focused monotheistic religion is a valid question that needs to be asked, not simply brushed aside in the fever of fundamentalism.

It certainly hard wired the belief of Israel a.k.a. Judea a.k.a. Palestine as the God given home of the Jewish people into their culture as can be seen to this day.

History may be written by the victors, but religion is shaped by the survivors.

Meaning/references behind every Gilmore Girls episode title - Season 1

Hi friends! In today's edition of I'm avoiding work and obsessing because I'm banned from rewatching until September (self-inflicted), I wanted to share my latest deep-dive project: making a clear, concise list of the meanings and references behind each episode title. I'm going season-by-season and filling in references when I catch them.

Some titles (especially in season 1) are quite obvious and literal, but many are clever references that emphasize themes and symbolism happening in the plot or character relationships. I like trying to figure them all out and wanted to share in case I have some wrong or people have caught references I've missed or didn't know writers may have spoken about, etc. ASP has such a deep well of pop culture knowledge, I enjoy mining it.

Masterlist: Season 1 Season 2, Part 1 Season 2, Part 2 Season 3, Part 1 Season 3, Part 2

My notes: - As always, please correct anything I've gotten wrong and share your own insight! - Many of these notes are pulled from and/or learned via annotatedgilmoregirls.com - an absolute icon! I claim no author originality. I'm just the one to compile/edit them. :) - So many of these seem deceptively straightforward... I'm almost convinced there must be sneaky references I'm missing with Kill Me Now, Forgiveness and Stuff and Christopher Returns especially... - This was the first time I realized the exact reference in Concert Interruptus and it's hilarious. I love when they get a little naughty/cheeky. - Looove the contrast between the happenings in Star Crossed Lovers and Other Strangers vs. S6's Written in the Stars. :')

Season 1

Pilot A “pilot” is a test episode for an intended TV series, an early step in series development, much like pilot studies serve as precursors to the start of larger activity.

The Lorelais' First Day at Chilton Lorelai and Rory both deal with Rory’s first day at her new school.

Kill Me Now "Kill me now" is a relatively common, ironic/humorous response to bad news or to a situation that the sender considers so bad that they would rather die than endure it. Likely how Lorelai feels about the idea of Rory’s golf date with Richard.

The Deer Hunters The title references The Deer Hunter (a 1978 war drama film co-written and directed by Michael Cimino about a trio of Slavic-American steelworkers whose lives were upended after fighting in the Vietnam War) as a joke about the deer hitting Rory’s car on her way to school.

Cinnamon's Wake Cinnamon is the name of Babette’s cat. A wake is a watch or vigil held beside the body of someone who has died. Possibly also a reference to the book Finnegan's Wake by James Joyce (an experimental novel with a reputation as one of the most difficult works of fiction in the Western canon due to its linguistic experiments, stream of consciousness writing style, literary allusions, free dream associations, and abandonment of narrative conventions).

Rory's Birthday Parties Rory has both a party thrown by her grandparents and a party thrown by her mother for her 16th birthday.

Kiss and Tell A common colloquialism referring to Rory’s first kiss with Dean. Possibly a reference to Kiss and Tell, a 1945 American comedy film starring a teenaged Shirley Temple. In the film, two girls cause their respective parents trouble when they start to become interested in boys. The plot interestingly involves an impulsive, secret elopement and accidental pregnancy drama.

Love and War and Snow Perhaps a reference to ”All is fair in love and war", a common proverb attributed to John Lyly's Euphues. “Love” referring to Lorelai’s blossoming romance with Max, “War” referring to the Revolutionary War reenactors and “Snow” of course refers to our first introduction to Lorelai’s love of snow and her insistence that good/important things have always happened to her on the first snow of the year - a theme that repeats throughout the series.

Rory's Dance Rory takes Dean to her first high school dance.

Forgiveness and Stuff This episode deals with multiple themes of forgiveness - Lorelai forgiving Rory for staying out all night with Dean, Emily and Lorelai forgiving each other for their fight about Rory and Lorelai being uninvited to the Christmas party, Lorelai forgiving Dean, and Lorelai dealing with lingering issues with Richard and how he raised her, perhaps forgiving him in a way.

Paris is Burning Paris Is Burning is an iconic 1990 documentary film directed by Jennie Livingston chronicling the ball culture of New York City and the African-American, Latino, gay, and transgender communities involved in it in the 1980s. This is the first episode where Paris gets a more humanizing backstory and causes trouble by outing Lorelai and Max’s relationship to distract from her own issues.

Double Date A common term for a date where two different couples go out together.

Concert Interruptus The title is a play on “coitus interruptus”, the technical term for the pull-out method of birth control. In the same way, The Bangles concert in the episode is interrupted when Madeline and Louise withdraw or “pull out” of the proceedings.

That Damn Donna Reed The Donna Reed Show is an American sitcom which aired on ABC from 1958-1966 starring Donna Reed as middle-class housewife Donna Stone. Although it was the first sitcom to focus on the mother as the central figure in a domestic comedy and paved the way for female-focused TV, it was commonly critiqued by feminists in the 1970s as presenting an idealized view of domesticity.

Christopher Returns This episode marks Christopher’s first visit to Stars Hollow and his seemingly first big return to Lorelai and Rory’s lives, much to the chagrin of every sane fan.

Star Crossed Lovers and Other Strangers In Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare refers to the main characters as “star cross’d lovers”, meaning that their relationship is destined to fail no matter how hard they try. The phrase comes from astrology, meaning that the stars are working against them. The title is also a reference to the 1970 comedy film Lovers and Other Strangers, in which a couple’s upcoming wedding shines a spotlight on the marriage problems of their family members. “Star crossed lovers” can refer to multiple relationships facing troubles in this episode - Rory and Dean, Luke and Rachel, Lorelai and Max, Lorelai and Chase (the weird guy her parents try to set her up with), and of course, the lovers in the story behind the Founders Firelight Festival. This is especially endearing when you remember that, in contrast, the episode in season 6 when Luke and Lorelai go on their first date is titled “Written in the Stars”.

The Break Up: Part 2 This episode is the first to pick up exactly where the previous episode left off (Rory running home to Lorelai’s arms post-break up with Dean) in a kind of to-be-continued way, explaining the “: Part 2” in the title. There is also an episode of the classic 1970s sitcom The Jeffersons titled The Break Up: Part 2 where the Jefferson and the Willis families debate about getting Lionel and Jenny back together and George accidentally sets his son up with a sex worker. Perhaps a stretch to think it could be a reference, but ASP is a big sitcom nerd so it’s not out of the realm of possibility.

The Third Lorelai We are introduced to Richard’s mother, Lorelai “Trix” Gilmore; Lorelai’s namesake and therefore the third Lorelai in the Gilmore family.

Emily in Wonderland The title is a reference to the children’s book Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll, commonly shortened to Alice in Wonderland. It’s an analogy for Emily finding Stars Hollow just as peculiar as Alice found the nonsensical Wonderland.

P.S. I Lo… The title references either (or both) the popular 1934 song PS I Love You, written by Johnny Mercer (recorded many times throughout the years by Rudy Vallée, Bette Midler, Bob Dylan, Billie Holiday, Frank Sinatra and more) or The Beatles’ 1962 song of the same name, the B-side to their debut single Love Me Do. The title also suggests not being able to bring yourself to fully say “I love you” and both Lorelai and Rory deal with their individual commitment issues - Lorelai struggling to commit to Max and Rory regretting not being able to tell Dean she loves him.

Love, Daisies and Troubadours The title refers to the ongoing plot points weaving together and coming to a head in the finale of season one. Lorelai, Rory, and Luke are all struggling with love - what it means to them, committing to it, and figuring out how to express it, which is what the town troubadour has come to represent (according to Rory) as he faces his first rival in the town. Rory reunites with Dean and finally is able to say “I love you”. Max sticks a bandaid on his floundering relationship with Lorelai with the romantic gesture of 1000 yellow daisies. Daisies can symbolize love, fertility/motherhood, and the return of someone’s affections, while the yellow color is cheerful, vibrant, and a sign of being quick-witted.

[Hong Jongseon's Character Analysis] "Roman Holiday" of the 21st Century: "Dali and Gamjatang"

[By Hong Jongseon - Arts & Culture Expert, Reporter] A drama worth anticipating has arrived. The drama "Dali and Gamjatang" (directed by Lee Jungseob, written by Son Eunhye and Park Seeun) seems to have poured time and effort into its production, making viewers feel truly pampered, as if someone is devoting their time and care to the food they eat.

Starting with small details, various sound effects such as the sound of a "screech" when the protagonist takes a step back, and the "swishhh" sound that freezes the air, conveying an awkward atmosphere, enhance the realism and enjoyment. There's a hidden excitement in wondering what kind of sound will come next, creating a subtle anticipation that keeps viewers waiting.

The music is also wonderful. Not only ballads and classics, but even hip-hop can complement the drama very well. It's clear that music can effectively convey the protagonist's emotions and situations in a condensed manner. The songs are so good that sometimes people listen to them on OTT (Over The Top, internet TV) just for the music. If attention is paid to the song selection, it can make the drama more vibrant.

It's nice to have scenes with a slower pace at times. While the plot may develop quickly, in scenes where we hope to deeply empathize with the protagonist's emotions, the drama's rhythm slows down. Rather than the camera lingering on the protagonist's crying face for a long time, it captures them from behind as they walk away. This provides ample time to feel the emotions and serves as a short breather for viewers to take. In a world where everything is moving so fast, these moments are sometimes necessary for the right tempo.

In an era saturated with dramas filled with cruelty and excessive violence, the appeal of refreshing melodramas and adorable comedies is undeniable. The setting, much like a 21st-century drama version of the 20th-century film "Roman Holiday," is intriguing and captivating.

As Princess Anne (played by Audrey Hepburn) escapes the royal palace and finds herself in unfamiliar circumstances outside the palace, she encounters the resourceful newspaper journalist Joe (played by Gregory Peck) to help her. Meanwhile, Kim Dali (played by Park Gyuyoung), who has become an heiress burdened with debt, receives assistance from Jin Muhak (played by Kim Minjae), a money-making expert. Just like how Anne and Joe fell in love, we know that Dali and Muhak will likely follow suit, yet there's an element that keeps us curious about the situations and episodes that will lead them there.

Shall we meet the protagonists of 'Dali and Gamjatang'? First, we have Dali, the daughter of the Cheongsong Art Gallery household. Raised in a world of seclusion and art, she's known as the 'Princess of Cheongsong Castle.' Even her name, Dali, is inspired by the early 20th-century surrealist painter Salvador Dalí, reflecting her detachment from the world's realities. With her father's passing, she's thrown into the harsh realities of life.

Actress Park Gyuyoung is skillfully portraying Dali, who exudes the elegance of a noble yet possesses warmth, and a strong willpower akin to a greenhouse flower. With her excellent diction (accuracy and fluency in pronunciation), solid acting foundation, and the ability to digest the hairstyles and costumes that remind one of Hepburn's Princess Anne, her portrayal is exceptional.

The male protagonist creates gamjatang using pig bones, earning the nickname "Don Don" due to his obsession with money. He is Jin Muhak, the actual representative and executive officer of Don Don F&B, which operates gamjatang restaurants. His name, Muhak, literally translates to "lack of education," and he is indeed ignorant. He doesn't know English or idioms, often misinterpreting proverbs and making spelling mistakes. Nevertheless, he possesses a keen sense for judging whether something is profitable or not, along with strong decisiveness and drive. He's not just a boss who talks the talk; he is diligent and leads by example. Despite his wealth, he doesn't waste money recklessly. He's frugal enough to not turn on a single light without reason.

Actor Kim Minjae skillfully blends his powerful vocal cords and emotional expressions, mastering the art of intense acting. A role with such strong and noisy characteristics could easily appear overly dramatic, but he manages to strike the right balance in intensity. Moreover, he effortlessly emanates the charm that captivates even the sophisticated Dali. His genuine simplicity devoid of artifice and pretense feels endearing, making even his lack of knowledge appear adorable.

Muhak's lack of education is not a concern, as he is accompanied by Yeomiri, who is knowledgeable and quick in understanding situations, often even outsmarting Muhak himself. Despite being a female secretary, she dresses head to toe in a male suit. She may seem like a gangster, but she stands between the delicate-hearted employees of Don Don Gamjatang and Muhak without standing out.

Actress Hwang Bora is skillfully portraying the multi-faceted character of Yeomiri. At times, she exhibits maternal care and concern for Muhak as if he were her child, while other times she shows a tough and gangster-like demeanor. She seamlessly transitions from performing serious drama scenes to comedic ones. She doesn't raise her voice next to Kim Minjae's high-pitched tone, but her diverse facial expressions and gestures enrich her performance. Even though her role could easily appear chaotic with ups and downs, she carefully manages the ebb and flow, allowing viewers to observe the intricacies of her acting.

In addition to the characters mentioned above, "Dali and Gamjatang" features a variety of characters portrayed by talented actors, forming a radiant constellation of performances. Each character is given a well-defined story, and the camera rotates evenly among them. This structure not only avoids making the drama solely focused on the main leads but also makes the show more vibrant and realistic. The effort put into casting extends even to the supporting roles and minor characters, making it all the more rewarding.

Thanks to this, a romantic dynamic unfolds among Kim Minjae, Park Gyuyoung, and Kwon Yool (who plays Jang Taejin), with various romantic subplots branching out. Meanwhile, the cheerful interactions between Kim Minjae and Hwang Bora bring lightheartedness, while Jin Baekwon (played by Ahn Kilkang) and Sogeumja (played by Seo Jeongyeon) provide comedic relief throughout the drama. Woo Heejin fills the drama with her natural and comfortable acting, making her character come to life.

The attention to detail in "Dali and Gamjatang" results in a drama where every corner of the story is well-crafted.
