I am adding new tags to my posts – starting immediately and as I feel like it, I’ll use Chas’ post typology. I’m going to enhance and extend** a bit:
Type1 – !warning – minimal original content!, other than perhaps an “Ooh, shiny!” from yrs truly.
Type2 – what I did on my summer vacation feat. Deep Thoughts. In other words, things I’m thinking about.
Type3 – eats.
So, the first official type1:
Quite some time ago I posted on the work of Walton Ford. I clicked to the Taschen Books web site yesterday and on the home page? Info about Pancha Tantra, a beautiful bestiary. “Bruegel by way of Borges” indeed – I wish I could afford a copy (n.b. if I could afford a copy, I likely would not be working a “normal” job).

Read this (and the comments). It’s caused me to read some new-to-me Orwell, re-read a bunch of T. S. Eliot and think a little more…
** “enhance and extend” is oftentimes IT-corporatespeak for pervert and make proprietary.
I’d kill for a Walton Ford.
He has one print I know of, an Archaeopteryx on a falconer’s glove. It costs just a bit more than the Pancha Tatra. If I got a big advance I’d get both– though the book may be even cooler, and probably includes it.
