ellipses

specifxally using them like an old person online… a pause indicator only seeming to denote a neutral break between sentence fragments, half formed thoughts … a very free punctuation mark like the em dash (also goated), useful because it captures the grammar of real spoken word rather than formal prose

texting in iambic pentameter

like communicating with the ancients a secret language hidden in plain sight executing messages with patience can give a sudden sense of strange delight

Wikipedia

What a resource… At any given time I will have several Wiki tabs open. At the moment, I’m reading articles on Boethius, POSIWID, Counting Cards and the Cornball Express (Roller Coaster). Admittedly, I have never donated a dime to this site.

APOLOGIZING

And forgiving. As soon as you recognize that you’re in the wrong, regardless of if you feel sorry, apologize. And as soon as a hatchet is surrendered, bury it. It doesn’t have to be perfect. Ask for mercy, ask for grace. Seventy times seven. Remember how much you’ve been forgiven. Make it right with your friend, with your enemy, with yourself, with God.

Piero Piccioni

Piero Piccioni was a prolific film score composer and, for me, the greatest of all time. He’s gained some recent popular interest, but really listen to these arrangements. His discography is inexhaustible but not much is known about him. Some of my favorites are “Canone Classica” and “Magic” but really anything with “Theme” in the title.
