Beckett’s Power
July 11, 2007 at 12:36 pm | In Uncategorized | No CommentsTags: Samuel Beckett, Quadrat, Not I, Ubuweb
An estimated 15 years ago I saw Beckett’s “Quadrat I” and “Quadrat II” on German television - accidentally, and it was broadcast very late. The name Beckett was not unfamiliar to me; I hadn’t seen or read any of his work, just a few lines from Waiting for Godot which bedazzled me like they should have bedazzled any teenager who doesn’t think that getting a job with an insurance company would be a good idea. When Quadrat started, I had wanted to go to bed, but my eyes were glued to the screen. A sparse minute can be viewed on Youtube.
Quadrat I & II was produced for the Süddeutscher Rundfunk (the Southern German Broadcasting Coporation) in 1981. Two more films of plays directed by Beckett can be found on UBUweb.
Misogynist Hate Bloggers

I remember that Lenina wrote about hate bloggers quite a while ago who were stalking a female blogger - stalking her in the virtual sphere, but a a death threat via comment spam is still a death threat! Over the past days, I have also received hate comments which used the typical rhetoric of the misogynist, e.g. “heavy flow day, sweetie”, on other occasions comparing me with a plant/vegetable.
Don’t forget, misogynist prankster calling yourself Jerry, that I am in control of the buttons here. Also, I have your IP logged and can narrow you down to one specific US campus. Better think twice before mistaking the blogosphere as an outlet for your inferiority complexes.
