WORKING ON SOMETHING FOR THE NEXT QARRTSILUNI SUBMISSIONS, BASICALLY RIGHT NOW I'M JUST HOPING TO GET IT DONE. THE THEME IS "TRANSLATIONS" SO I DECIDED TO TAKE IT LITERALLY AND FOCUS ON THE ETYMOLOGY OF THE WORD "TRANSLATION" WHICH APPARENTLY DERIVED FROM EARLIER MEANINGS OF "TO TRANSPORT OR FERRY ACROSS" (PRETTY COOL I THOUGHT).
SO FROM THERE I JUMPED TO DECIDING TO USE THE ELEVATOR AS THE MODE OF TRANSPORT, AND VARIOUS FIGURES IN THE WORLD OF PHILOSOPHY AND LITERARY THEORY AS SUBJECTS WE (THE READERS) MEET ON THE ELEVATOR, GIVEN THEIR INTIMATE INVOLVEMENTS WITH IDEAS "LOST IN TRANSLATION" SO TO SPEAK, THE MEANING AND PURPOSE OF THE TEXT, THE AUTHOR, ETC. I'M STARTING WITH DERRIDA AND HOPEFULLY WILL GET A FEW MORE FINISHED BEFORE THE DEADLINE.
BUT I DO HAVE A FEW MORE BESIDES THIS THAT I'VE BEEN FINISHING ON THE SIDE.
ALSO YES, I'M STILL KIND OF OBSESSING ON THE WHOLE MUMMY THING. I HAVE ONE DONE ON CLEOPATRA AND ONE I'M WORKING ON ONE OF AN INCORRUPTIBLE SAINT (NO ONE IN PARTICULAR). NOW I'M JUST KIND OF DECIDING IF I WANT THE POEMS TO STAND ALONE OR GROUP THEM TOGETHER SOMEHOW AS SORT OF A MUMMY DUET.
OOOOH....WAIT A MINUTE...I COULD DO A "CONTRAPUNTAL" MUMMY POEM. OH, THAT WOULD BE AWESOME. YES, I THINK I WILL DO THAT. STAY TUNED.
About Me

- The profile photo is one by my favorite photographer, Inbal Sivan. I picked it I think because it depicts my approach to life and motherhood pretty well. The woman is just sort of chilling, thinking her thoughts. There's a naked baby on the table. That's cool. He's being looked after but not smothered over. The lovely world isn't close to coming to an end. Everyone is content, even the dog.
