Tonight: The Jellicle Moon and the Jellicle Ball

T.S. Eliot - The Song Of The Jellicles

Jellicle Cats come out tonight,
Jellicle Cats come one come all:
The Jellicle Moon is shining bright--
Jellicles come to the Jellicle Ball.

Jellicle Cats are black and white,
Jellicle Cats are rather small;
Jellicle Cats are merry and bright,
And pleasant to hear when they caterwaul.
Jellicle Cats have cheerful faces,
Jellicle Cats have bright black eyes;
They like to practise their airs and graces
And wait for the Jellicle Moon to rise.

Jellicle Cats develop slowly,
Jellicle Cats are not too big;
Jellicle Cats are roly-poly,
They know how to dance a gavotte and a jig.
Until the Jellicle Moon appears
They make their toilette and take their repose:
Jellicles wash behind their ears,
Jellicles dry between their toes.

Jellicle Cats are white and black,
Jellicle Cats are of moderate size;
Jellicles jump like a jumping-jack,
Jellicle Cats have moonlit eyes.
They're quiet enough in the morning hours,
They're quiet enough in the afternoon,
Reserving their terpsichorean powers
To dance by the light of the Jellicle Moon.

Jellicle Cats are black and white,
Jellicle Cats (as I said) are small;
If it happens to be a stormy night
They will practise a caper or two in the hall.
If it happens the sun is shining bright
You would say they had nothing to do at all:
They are resting and saving themselves to be right
For the Jellicle Moon and the Jellicle Ball.

Knokkelklang nok en gang

Nei, ikke bandet Knokkelklang. Tidsskriftet. Nummer 4 er her. Mye moro, gratis er det også. Mine kollegaer (er det et riktig ord?) Kristian, Arnfinn og Bjørn Are bidro med kuriøse, skrekkelige og fantastiske tekster. En viss Lord Bassington-Bassington av tvilsom avstamning skrev om H.P. Lovecraft. Jeg intervjuet Viktor Kvant fra Dreamhours for dette nummer og prøvde meg på en gjendiktning av Maria Komornicka.

Hellige jul og Transformator Art

På vei til designernes eget julemarked fant jeg denne:


Sted: Jakobs kirke

Markedet var en blanding av kult og, eh... ikke fullt så kult.
I den første kategorien fant jeg: Trine med sine Psykosedyr; en designer fra Oslo hvis navn jeg ikke husker men hun lager flotte, gigerianske ting i sølv; og Karolina fra Transformator som lager fine ting av motstander og andre elektroniske komponenter. Se så fine de kan være:
