A Curious Singularity

A Curious Singularity is a team blog dedicated to exploring the short story form. The aim is to read and discuss one short story each month. This month's short story is James Joyce's The Dead.(I think the discussion starts on the second Tuesday each month.)

I am a member of the blog, but I have to confess I haven't written anything about The Dead yet. I read it today, and liked it very much, so hopefully I will. I've tried to read James Joyce in the past (A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man and Ulysses) and I didn't get too far, but that was a long time ago. Maybe I should give James Joyce another chance. :)

I wrote something about Anton Chekhov's The Lady With the Dog. You can read what I had to say here.

You can join in with the discussion, or if you want to become a member, please contact Kate S.

The Weather Pixie

If you look at my sidebar, you can see what's the weather like at the moment in Helsinki.

The WeatherPixie is a little graphic that shows a representation of the weather using data reported (mostly) by airports and aerodromes around the world.

As the weather in a particular location changes, the characters clothes will reflect the weather and the graphic will show rain, snow, airborne particles and changes in cloud cover. Daylight, sunset and current moon phase are also displayed.
