.... Past the stables through some trees, following a stream and there was a clearing. Nothing special about it apart from the moonlight hitting the area directly, but even then it almost illuminated the plainness of the clearing. The grass wasn't particularly luscious, there were no flowers, and the stream made part of the area very muddy. When Ryeowook realised this was where they had wanted to ...
... a smile in return. Now that the drowsiness and fuzziness were fading from his mind, he felt much more rested—and even more hungry. He dug into the curry, savoring the taste of the spices and the plainness of the rice. “This is fantastic,” he said to Ryeowook. “It’s not much, but I thought it would be a good ‘welcome to the group’ dinner,” Ryeowook explained, looking every bit a mix of humble ...
... Bella’s point-of-view. In the first book, especially, the reader is treated to endless descriptions of Edward’s physical beauty contrasted with Bella’s self-loathing descriptions of her own clumsiness or her plainness or her fragile human body. Edward is described as a statue of Adonis come to life – cold and hard to the touch, but physically perfect. Bella wants nothing more than to be just like...
...I wake up to in the mornings. 2. Vegetable soup with meat dumplings Raised in a part-Cantonese family, I'm used to having soup with most meals. This is one that I love very much despite its plainness to most. 3. Fish porridge My mother prepares this for me whenever I'm sick. Most of the time, it makes me feel better. 4. Potatoes in chicken curry It's a weekly family tradition that I've...
...and plain-spoken in a very wide-eyed Midwestern way. It may be an affectation, but he does not use it ironically – he uses it to tell a story more profound and satisfying for the very plainness of its telling.
So while Dahl (in this context) is a faux adult telling children’s stories, Anderson is a faux child telling adult stories. Yet somehow this film adaptation still works – probably because ...
... judges emphasize this distinction, and therefore the call to plain dress calls out an artificial structural division in the judicial process. The leading of that lawyer has me thinking about the nature of plainness and simplicity in the context of academia. Take religious jargon. On the one hand, I chafe against religious jargon as often being more obscuring than helpful. It's probably my ...
...every male in the vicinity just so I can get some attention and have a guy like me. Sorry bitch - if the guy wants me, he's gonna have to like me for me. Baggy cloths, dirty-Jersey attitude, plainness, and all. Okay, I feel better now. My roomate though is still making me mad. I should probably try to stop thinking about the fact that she's sleeping only 8 feet away from and that it would be easy...
So I got a little bored on day, and instead of doing school work I crafted myself a TARDIS out of felt to sew onto my back pack. The plainness of my backpack has been bothering me for a while, and I felt a homage to my favorite police call box was required! After quickly realizing that I am not a patient crafter, I decided to purposely avoid perfection and symmetry, so my TARDIS is intentionally a...
... Schwarzenegger, brutal and imposing with a rather Germanic stance. From the side it looks like a van! There is no getting away from the fact that it is very slab sided but strangely aesthetic in its plainness. The rear of the vehicle is practical and pleasing, with a split upper and lower door a la Range Rover. The old Disco had very limited boot space, but now this has totally changed and the ...
... and as such has a more direct resonance in my experience.
Ennui takes on metaphysical characteristics well out of proportion to the mode of being I am experiencing here. Boredom has a plainness to it while ennui contains within it pretensions of an almost performative nature. Boredom is by definition strictly non-performative.
The non-performative nature of boredom begs the question how it ...
