Emma: You lying, cheating, piece of shit!
Rikki: Oh yeah? You’re the idiot who thinks you can get away with everything you do. WELCOME TO THE REAL WORLD
Emma: I’m leaving you, and I’M TAKING CLEO WITH ME
Lewis, picking up the monopoly board: I think we’re gonna stop playing now.

naur because 2x15 'irresistible' is honestly not even canon to me as an episode. why would zane of all people desire a potion that would make rikki fall at his feet and hang on his every word. my guy had a version of that with miriam and HATED it, as soon as the girl who had been making snide, sarcastic comments in his general direction for months became available as a romantic prospect he basically fell for her on the spot. rikki is loud and brash and picks fights over the slightest provocation, and zane adores her for it. if it is to be said so it be

It’s Fine Press Friday! 
Today we’re taking a look at our 1987 Limited Editions Club release of poet, diplomat, and Nobel laureate Octavio Paz’s (1914–1998) Three Poems. Published as a bilingual Spanish-English edition of selections from The Collected Poems of Octavio Paz, 1957-1987 (translated by Eliot Weinberger, the primary translator of Paz’s work into English), this prodigious publication measures 56 cm and features lithographic illustrations by abstract expressionist painter and printmaker Robert Motherwell (1915-1991). The text was handset at Stamperia Valdonega (Verona, Italy) in Bauer Bodini Bold and Bauer Bodini Bold Italic typefaces, both of which were cast by Fundicíon Tipográfica Neufville (Barcelona, Spain). Lithographs were printed at Trestle Editions on hand-made Japanese papers and text was printed at Wild Carrot Letter Press (Hadley, MA), Stamperia Valdonega, and The Heritage Press on mould made paper from Cartiere Enrico Magnani (Pescia, Italy). It was hand-sewn and bound at the Garthegaat Bindery.  
The book was designed by Benjamin Shiff, LEC book designer and son of Sidney Shiff, who had purchased the debt-ridden Limited Editions Club in 1979. Under the leadership of Shiff, a one-time Wall Street broker, the LEC gained a broadened subscription base, increased the quality of their publications, diversified their roster of artists, and returned to profitability.   
Though minimal and modern in presentation, the production of this edition plumbed the depths of printing history. The Magnani paper mill was established on the banks of the Pescia river (known for its clear water- a necessity for paper production) in 1404, half a century before Gutenberg’s printing press was first put to commercial use. And the Fundicíon Tipográfica Neufville (operational 1885-1995), also known as Neufville Typefoundry, was the biggest 20th century supplier of the printing industry in Spain. After a number of ownership transfers, the company, alongside  Bauersche Gießerei (a German typefoundry, operational 1837-1972), was succeeded by Bauer Types, which would leverage ownership of the rights to many of the original typefaces from both foundries to lead the way from lead type production to digital typography.

MerMay got me thinking of the (totally real and not at all imagined) lost scene from S3 of H2O: Just Add Water where Cleo admits in an offhand comment that she and Charlotte are actually quite close now that they’ve put their petty feud aside and frequently send each other pictures of their art. And honestly? Good for them.

It’s Fine Press Friday!
Death of a Salesman: Certain Private Conversations in two Acts and a Requiem, a tragedy by American playwright, screenwriter, and essayist Arthur Miller (1915-2005) is here published, with five etchings by American graphic artist, Leonard Baskin (1922-2000), by the Limited Editions Club (LEC) in a limited edition of 1500 copies signed by the playwright and the artist in 1984. 
The play, Death of a Salesman, first opened on February 10, 1949. It was incredibly popular, and is considered by some critics to be one of the best American plays. It has since been revived on Broadway five times and adapted to film ten times, and has won numerous awards. Salesman is a fine example of one of Arthur Miller’s dominant themes,the importance of the father-son relationship. It is somewhat inspired by Miller's short time working for his father. His biographer wrote:
Arthur particularly loathed the vulgarity and aggressiveness of the buyers, who treated his father and the salesmen with arrogant contempt, and he became acutely aware of the meaning of self-respect when he saw how cruelly it was abused.
The play is about the unrealistic expectations we have for ourselves and others, expectations that cause us to lose sight of what really matters even to the point of falling out of touch with reality. In this case it is the expectations a father has for his children. 
This edition marks Leonard Baskin’s third time illustrating for the Limited Editions Club. Other tiles he has worked on include, Eugene O'Neill’s The Iceman Cometh, 1982 and Aristotle’s Poetics & Politics, 1964, both of which we may feature at a later date.. The striking etched portraits are very characteristic of Baskin’s work. Baskin often works in themes of death. His etchings richly portray the mental degradation that the main character, Willy Loman, suffers from. 
This book was designed by book designer Benjamin Shiff, son of LEC owner Sydney Shiff. He selected American and English Monotype Bulmer fonts, which were set in type by Dan Carr and Julia Ferrarie at Golgonooza Letter Foundry. The text was printed at the Wild Carrot Letterpress by Daniel Keleher and the etchings were printed at The Heron Press by Bruce Chandler. The paper was made by Cartiere Enrico Magnani and the book was bound by Gray Parrot Incorporated. Our copy was a gift from our friend Jerry Buff.

Elijah Chair
Melissa Shiff
Canadian, b. 1967
2002
Antique rocking chair, video monitor, and digital video
This video sculpture is linked to several traditions related to the biblical prophet Elijah. Late in the Passover seder, families open their doors as a welcoming gesture to Elijah, whose arrival traditionally heralds the messianic era. The video component of Melissa Shiff's piece shows a continuous loop of doors opening onto various New York sites, from lower-class neighbourhoods to wealthier parts of Manhattan.

ok but. sinister moonpool au. more violent transitions and turns. something from the pool reaching out each full moon, clawing, taking. slowly losing touch with humanity. becoming unrecognizable. the human body rotting and the mermaid body overtaking. senses of dread whenever the full moon draws them back to where they were turned. unnerving, vague phrases whispered whilst the moon has control of their bodies. fish to the lure. sheep to the slaughter.
