  Remotely Annoying

  This 1 hour, 3 actor, 3 scene comedy is meant to be enjoyed with friends around the dinner table after a good meal and plenty of libations.  
  The premise: The two main characters, Albert and Larry, are 80 year-old twins who have been picking at each other all their lives. They share an apartment, have just purchased a new TV, and are having some difficulty getting it to work. Sounds simple, but things go downhill fast from there and eventually off the cliff when the landlord arrives. The play has a lot of quick back-and-forth dialog so it reads like a comedy routine. It can be performed sitting around the table if someone is reading the stage directions. Actual age of actors is not important. 
  Minimum props required: TV remote, cell phone, two pieces of paper with Awww! and Clap! written on them, two foldout brochures of any kind to function as TV Quick Start Guide and headphone guide. The rest can be mimed. 
  If your plan is to perform it onstage, go for it. You have my blessing as long as you credit the work. Posting a review with a pic of the production would be possibly hilarious, but definitely cool. 
  ​​​​​​​Reviews: The Lansdowne Times might call Remotely Annoying the funniest thing since sliced bread, but nobody thinks sliced bread is funny and there is no Lansdowne Times. However, this play has been fully tested and approved by 8 brave souls who, shall they rest in peace, died laughing.

  Emaux et Camees

  Emaux et Camées by Théophile Gautier is a celebrated collection of poetry that stands as a defining work of the nineteenth-century aesthetic movement. Renowned for its precision, elegance, and devotion to artistic beauty, this volume reflects Gautier's belief in "art for art's sake"—the idea that art exists not to moralize or instruct, but to embody pure form and refined expression.
  
  The title, which translates to Enamels and Cameos, evokes miniature works of art—carefully crafted, polished, and enduring. In the same spirit, each poem in this collection is meticulously shaped, displaying Gautier's mastery of rhythm, imagery, and structure. His verses are vivid and sculptural, transforming fleeting moments into lasting artistic impressions. Like finely carved cameos, the poems capture scenes, emotions, and reflections with delicate precision.
  
  Throughout the collection, Gautier explores themes of beauty, mythology, love, mortality, art, and memory. Classical influences blend seamlessly with romantic sensibilities, creating a body of work that feels both timeless and deeply personal. Statues, paintings, landscapes, and historical figures come alive through his lyrical craftsmanship, revealing a poet deeply attuned to visual and sensory detail.
  
  Unlike more overtly emotional or political poetry of his era, Gautier's work often maintains a controlled and polished tone. His language is exacting and musical, emphasizing balance and harmony. Yet beneath the surface refinement lies profound contemplation—meditations on the permanence of art compared to the fragility of human life, and on the enduring power of beauty in a changing world.
  
  Emaux et Camées is widely regarded as one of Gautier's finest achievements and a cornerstone of French poetic tradition. Its influence extended beyond literature, shaping later movements that valued aesthetic purity and stylistic perfection. Readers encountering this collection will discover poetry that invites careful appreciation—verses that shimmer with clarity, artistry, and enduring grace.
  
  Elegant, reflective, and masterfully composed, Emaux et Camées remains a timeless tribute to the transformative power of artistic expression.
