Isn't It Ironic, Don't You Think?
Hello, Pals... Happy Monday! (although there is a lag with Blogger and you probably won't get this until Tuesday if you subscribe to my blog) Gonna go ahead and hit you with some trivia right out of the gate: Do you know what blog stands for? ANSWER: It's a truncation of "web" + "log"...so, thanks for reading my logs, yo! As an English Major I thrive on irony + parody + allegory. OMG do I ADORE a good allegory. A few of my favorites are: Animal Farm , George Orwell (probably my top one + probably gonna read this again soon…) Fight Club, Chuck Palahniuk (I particularly love this one as a fellow maker of soaps...also this writer has a terrific set of short stories - great for pool time/the beach) Lord of the Flies, William Golding The Wizard of Oz, L Frank Baum (speaking of, I just saw this on Instagram today...it's all about perspective, no?) Author Request: Throw me your favorite allegory (whether book, film, or art) in the comments ...
