The universe seemed to be telling me to read/listen to 'Notes from Underground' this week, and I thought, hey, I have free will to do what I want Universe, so I will:-)
I've never read/listened any of Dostoevsky's books before this week, even though they have been on my "bucket list" for quite a while.
But I had not heard of the 1995 movie starring Seth Green, until this week when wondering if there was a movie made from the book and I found it on You Tube to watch for free.
To me the book is about a clown who thinks he is cleverer than everyone around him, telling his story to a clown who thinks they (you/me) are cleverer than everyone around them:-)
I guess I'm ready to read 'Crime and Punishment' now in the weeks ahead?Or maybe I should get around to reading this book pictured below, which I found a few years ago in a bargain bin;-)
1001 Books I Must Read Before I Die ... Including the Banned Ones?📚📖🚫Funny thing happened the day before the 13th was that I got a surge through my power-board while I was watching TV and there was a loud electrical pop that scared the crap out of me.It took me a while to figure out it was the power-board that blew, as nothing shut down when I heard the pop.
And while the PB was still working, the green light was out, and the red switch light was damaged, which means it's time for me to buy a better PB.
But the thing that blew my mind was my AA battery powered owl clock on the wall stopped working when the pop happened, and it has nothing to do with the power grid the TV is on.
I took it off the wall to replace the battery and found out the battery was corroded, as was the battery terminal in the clock, so I threw the clock in the bin and went to look if I had anything else to hang on the hook it was on.
The only thing I could find that seemed to suit that space was a crucified Christ I had bought from a Catholic Church in Richmond, Tasmania on my 2016 road trip -
Reflections and Refractions of RichmondI bought it because I remembered reading a book about a subliminal image that was rumoured to be drawn into the abdomen of the artwork by the artist.
Either way, I like it as a work of art and I think it looks good hanging where the owl clock was, not because I'm into Christianity that much, because I like Jesus more as an archetypical metaphor for "God".
Hey, I consider myself "spiritual but not religious" anyway.
One archetype replaced with another?-) |
A f###ed clock more like it?-) |
