Rereading Review: "Against Nature" by J.K Huysmans
It's been about a decade or so since I read Against Nature by JK Huysmans and so, I wanted to dive in once again. Unfortunately, my copy with some brutish annotations in which I exclaim my dislike for the main character resembling a young Morrissey in his attitudes has since been lost to time and so, I had to buy another copy. Emile Zola would probably sum up the book in the best way as it was, in fact, a charged novel against the naturalist movement - hence the title Against Nature. But then again, it is packed full of emotions that are generally against the nature of human feeling - they are against the progressive and free-willed, against the whimsical, against the want for redemption and joy. The main character's journey to discovering this is a pained one yes, one that usually drops him into the central problem of melancholic thinking and perhaps reminds us that we don't want to shovel this novel into our mouths all in one go. It is one of those books that can really weigh one's mind down.

Frankenstein by Mary Shelley
Background and Context: If you know me then you will probably know that I think 'Frankenstein' is one of the greatest novels ever written. I would say that since I was in my teens, this has been a really been a novel that has been close to my heart. Chapter 11 is probably the most special of these in which the Creature is discovering night and fire etc. It is simply one of the best pieces of literature ever written. I've read and taught it several times for over a decade. It gets better every single time.

Spongebob Review
The episode “The Paper” delivers a surprisingly layered exploration of mundane outer life in Bikini Bottom, turning the simple act of delivering a roll of paper into an absurdist comedy of errors that mirrors the frenetic energy of modern bureaucratic systems. From the opening shot of SpongeBob cheerfully shuffling through a sea‑of‑files to the climactic showdown with the post‑office manager, the narrative thrives on rapid‑fire dialogue and visual gags that never allow the audience’s attention to waver. The animation, saturated with bright coral hues and meticulous background detail, reinforces the episode’s underlying satire: the absurdity of a world where a single piece of paper can wreak havoc on an entire community. Moreover, the writers cleverly pepper the script with meta‑references to the paper industry, subtly commenting on the disposable nature of both the medium and the characters themselves, all while keeping the tone light enough to entertain a multigenerational viewership.

Spongebob Review
The episode “Valentine’s Day” opens with a bright, sugar‑spun carnival setting that immediately signals the festive intent of the story, and the animators spare no effort in embedding every booth, ride, and cotton‑candy stall with heart‑shaped motifs that pulse with a playful, romantic optimism. SpongeBob, ever the eager romantic, is armed with a meticulously handcrafted valentine that he intends to deliver to Patrick, hoping to cement their friendship in a tradition that feels both sincere and mischievously earnest. Sandy, whose scientific pragmatism is juxtaposed against the sheer silliness of the holiday, offers a technologically enhanced “gift‑launcher” that can propel the valentine across the midway without the risk of accidental crushing by a rogue clown. The episode’s opening scenes are a masterclass in setting tone: the shimmering lights, the muffled carnival music, and the subtle background chatter of other sea‑creature patrons combine to immerse the viewer in a world that is simultaneously familiar and whimsically exaggerated.

Spongebob Review
The episode “Suds” opens with a sun‑drenched morning in Bikini Bottom, the camera gliding lazily over the coral‑lined streets before settling on SpongeBob’s pineapple house, where the familiar, squeaky door hinges announce his cheerful entrance. The scene is rendered in vivid, pastel‑hued animation that captures the playful absurdity of the series, while a jaunty ukulele riff underscores the buoyant atmosphere. As SpongeBob rummages through his kitchen, he absent‑mindedly leaves the refrigerator door ajar, a small but pivotal lapse that sets the entire plot in motion. Tiny bubbles begin to drift from the open fridge, slowly coalescing into a frothy, luminous cloud that the show cleverly dubs “the Suds,” a mischievous entity that flickers like a living soap‑bubble, hinting at the whimsical chaos soon to erupt.

Spongebob Review
The episode “Sleepy Time” shines as one of the series’ most inventive forays into surreal storytelling, and its charm lies in the way it transforms the familiar under‑sea setting into a kaleidoscope of subconscious whimsy. From the moment the familiar night‑time lullaby drifts through the pineapple, viewers are ushered into a series of vivid, dream‑logic vignettes that feel simultaneously absurd and emotionally resonant. SpongeBob’s sudden ability to slip into the sleeping minds of his neighbors is presented with a fluid, almost hypnotic animation style—soft pastel hues bleed into one another, and the background music swells with a gentle, otherworldly cadence that underscores the episode’s thematic exploration of empathy and hidden anxieties. The writers deftly balance slapstick humor with poignant visual metaphors, making “Sleepy Time” a rare episode that rewards both casual fans and those who appreciate a deeper narrative texture.
