have you ever had any degree of belief in horoscopes?
― nakhchivan, Tuesday, 5 November 2013 23:54 (ten years ago) link
astrology is one of those things i am really ambivalent about that i think is really interesting! I don't really believe in daily or weekly horoscopes, but the descriptions and characteristics of astrological birth signs I don't completely disbelieve, which is pretty logically inconsistent.

today i saw a large, beautiful german shepherd running very fast and elegantly through the streets in north philadelphia. i was going to stop my car and try to help it so it didn't get hit, but i had two other people in the car and they didn't want to do this and now i feel sick. i think it was some kind of omen, maybe… my mom had a german shepherd growing up that looked like this one and she describes it as this legendary figure, almost, who would follow very specific commands (go in the other room and lay down. go wake up _____. etc.) my name is very similar to this dog's name, and i've always suspected that my mom named me after this dog (which would be, idk, weird) but she denies it.
anyway, what's the deal? does this mean i am going to die? ?
(semiotics is a kind of fortune telling right?)

your mom had a dog called Treship?
― Stim McRaw (Noodle Vague), Friday, 7 November 2014 23:28 (nine years ago) link
semiotics isn't fortune telling, but it could address the fact your mom named you after a dog. Does she treat you a like pet? Does she give you treats in order to gain your love? Does/did she have trouble "letting go" when you became an adult?
― sarahell, Friday, 7 November 2014 23:33 (nine years ago) link

that one definitely refers to classical representations of the holy mother and child, with the cat standing in for Jesus and the large stuffed rabbit for the Virgin Mary.
― Mistah FAAB (sarahell), Saturday, 29 November 2014 22:22 (nine years ago) link
specifically paintings of the Adoration of the Magi -- except in this photograph, there is a flatness, the man (magi) is right next to the Virgin Mary (the rabbit) and the baby Jesus (the cat), as opposed to at an angle from the mother & child. This is definitely redolent of the post-modern age of this image -- we no longer need to concern ourselves with the issues of perspective that the Renaissance painters did.

Wu, whose hair casts a 90 degrees right angle silhouette, told local reporters that he was still single and had difficulty attracting women, despite having a decent job that afforded him a salary of 70,000 Taiwan dollars a month (HK$18,000).After being rejected by a girl, the dramatic hairstyle was adopted in an effort to “look more like a young guy in his 20s or 30s”, Wu said.

The harsh, angular edges of square objects… suggest masculine temper while the round shape of a circle implies the gentleness of a woman.
The Circle, bluntly, in Circle in the Square represents the female, the rounded shape or 'hole' of her reproductive organs, while the Square means the line of the penis. The Circle is within the Square, that is symbolically and effectively ruled by the male, even where metaphysically (for instance in the medieval cosmogony where the encircling ether or sky is female, while the encircled fountain represented by the Hebrew letter yod is male), or materially (during coitus, or while pregnant) she seems to surround and contain the male; for her purpose for being is in nourishing and setting off the glory and power, and to serve, and ultimately, "when she is good", to become the crown of, the male organ or as Wolfson explains, the woman's highest pride would be to inhabit the very corona of the circumcised penis!

What are people's thoughts on concrete poetry? I ask because I used to read a lot of that kind of stuff, and I'm now reading Perloff's 'unoriginal genius' and I noticed she views it differently from me. She sees I as a somewhat conservative trend which equates the signified and the sign. I always felt that it was contrasting the signal and the sign, exposing contradictions and opening up new ways to experience characters and text separated from their normal usage.
I know, of course, that concrete poetry isn't enormously popular, I just figured that the typographical possibilities of the internet would bear it's legacy somewhat. Does anyone have any thought, knowledge etc to bear?
