Myrhaf: June 2013

As a freethinker and an old-style atheist, he had a need to discourse from time to time on lofty matters." (from The Village of Stepanchikovo by Fyodor Dostoyevsky). Sunday, June 09, 2013. This morning at 1am I sat down to watch "Riverworld" on Syfy. The science-fantasy series by Philip Jose Farmer had captivated my youth with its "Oh, wow! Let's change it to all Y's. Wouldn't that be kewl? If you imagine a woman saying these lines, the chauvinism is yours, not mine.). There are no masses of naked people...

As a freethinker and an old-style atheist, he had a need to discourse from time to time on lofty matters." (from The Village of Stepanchikovo by Fyodor Dostoyevsky). Tuesday, January 01, 2013. Well, my kitchen is clean, which means I’m avoiding novel writing. (I have only one resolution this year: at least 1,000 words a day, which is 4 pp.) Let me put it off a little longer by writing my first blog post of 2013. I just read Obama’s election night speech. Because a recent PJTV show reminds us. As Ayn Rand...

As a freethinker and an old-style atheist, he had a need to discourse from time to time on lofty matters." (from The Village of Stepanchikovo by Fyodor Dostoyevsky). Saturday, July 06, 2013. Not Our Problem Anymore. Throughout the "Dwightmare" in Orlando, when he was trying to leave the team without angering anyone - in which he ended up angering everyone - and throughout his time with the Lakers, he has shown himself more obsessed with his image than with his performance on court. Ayn Rand had a ter...

Myrhaf: "Mad Men"
http://myrhaf.blogspot.com/2013/04/mad-men.html
As a freethinker and an old-style atheist, he had a need to discourse from time to time on lofty matters." (from The Village of Stepanchikovo by Fyodor Dostoyevsky). Sunday, April 14, 2013. I just finished a "Mad Men" binge. I had never seen the show before last week. Now I've seen seasons 1-5 and the first two hours of season 6. I caught up. Don is neither black nor white, but very gray - and exasperatingly stupid, in my opinion. So the show is naturalism, which Ayn Rand defined as literature based ...

As a freethinker and an old-style atheist, he had a need to discourse from time to time on lofty matters." (from The Village of Stepanchikovo by Fyodor Dostoyevsky). Tuesday, February 28, 2012. Infantilization of the West. A young man in college that I know says Hollywood did not perfect the art of making movies until the late '70s. He won't watch anything before the Blockbuster era. Forget. Gone With the Wind. And a thousand other classics; give him. I recently read an anecdote from a writer who took hi...

Obama's Whimsical Foreign Policy. Obama’s Syrian fiasco has been an appalling spectacle of a President who does not seem to think that attacking a country demands serious thought and preparation.

There are two distinct issues concerning Tim Tebow. First is his ability as a quarterback in the National Football League. He finds a way to win. I respect that. Are we living in the dark ages?

As a freethinker and an old-style atheist, he had a need to discourse from time to time on lofty matters." (from The Village of Stepanchikovo by Fyodor Dostoyevsky). Saturday, May 12, 2012. Actors Are Not Dogs. I got drunk with this director. It happens now and then. Around 1:30am, when we were both deep in our cups, he confessed to me what he really thinks of actors. An actor's job," he said, "is to follow the director's orders.". Dogs can be taught to follow commands - why not actors? When a director c...

As a freethinker and an old-style atheist, he had a need to discourse from time to time on lofty matters." (from The Village of Stepanchikovo by Fyodor Dostoyevsky). Saturday, March 03, 2012. As a brief addendum to my recent post on acting, this video on YouTube, 10 Reasons Why I Hate Method Acting. For years after that when I would prepare a role, I took a few minutes to decide what my character ate for breakfast. It was always scrambled eggs. Perhaps this is because I enjoy scrambled eggs. I did not su...
