System's Twilight (Classic Mac, Andrew "Zarf" Plotkin, 1994)

The challenging, sci-fi, evidently Fool's Errand-inspired puzzle collection by Andrew "Zarf" Plotkin, also an author of text adventures. As a lowly program working in the subroutines, you must search the System for the answers to some of digital life's biggest questions: What happened to the Powers who once ruled the land? Why are so many people blind to their own flaws? And… have you tried turning it off and on again?

You can play it in your browser here. Much important info is in the description, including a downloadable version for Windows and OSX that actually keeps your save file, a walkthrough, and which part of the game you seriously shouldn't spoil - suffice it to say it's absolutely brilliant.

Oh, and there's a spiritual sequel, also for Windows and OSX.

;-; oh noes, I forgot it again...

Life has been super busy recently.

I made big progress on my SpringThing entry! The UI is all done and fixed. The Demo is playable (only missing text). My goal this week is to finish that and submit.

In the meantime, go vote for the SeedComp entries, there are only a few days left (and we need more people to vote!).

And if you need some help with the parsers entries, here's a neat guide made by Zarf.

"This is what you do. This is what you've been trained to do. You've done it before. You just have to keep a cool head." A short-form, multi-ending, high-octane race against a ticking clock in the heart of New York City circa 2006. Can you tread water and work your magic? Or will you sink and drown?

============= Other Info

20 Exchange Place is an Ink game, submitted to the 2023 Edition of the IFComp.

Status: Completed Genre: Slice-of-life

CW: /Contains scenes of violence, death, and hostage negotiation.

============= Playthrough

Played: 2-Oct-2023 Playtime: around 30min (multiple runs) Rating: - [IFComp vote] Thoughts: Heads will roll...

============= Review

20 Exchange Place is hostage-situation high-stake game where you play a Sergeant trying to solve a sticky situation. The game offers multiple consequential choices, with many leading to a bad ending. I would rate this game Cruel on Zarf's difficulty's scale. I know it is possible to reach a "good" ending, but didn't manage even with my multiple attempts.

Spoilers ahead. It is recommended to play the game first. The review is based on my understanding/reading of the story.

This game is... frustrating, especially as someone who wants to do good when playing game, and strive to reach at a minimum the least harmful ending as possible. I usually don't mind replaying, until I find a (somewhat) satisfying result. But here, I gave up after a good half-dozen try. And savescuming is difficult with Ink (only one slot).

20 Exchange Place is very much a "golden"/"only-one-true" path type of game, and if you stray from it, you will face the consequences. And while each failed state will get its own extensive variation, having to restart the whole thing every time (especially when you are pretty far along) is tedious at best.

The difficulty of the game is that you are pretty blind when choosing what to do next, as there are little to no indications in the text to help, which is frustrating when the PC is supposed to be a veteran on the job (or are you just that stupid). Even choices characterised as "safe" can lead you down a bad path. This is kinda the type of game where you need some sort of walkthrough...

While the prose does a good job at setting the scene, and pushing the high-stake envelope about the situation, I also found it awkward at times. This was made even more obvious with the missing punctuation in the dialogues, or the censoring of "bad" and "swear" words, which, considering the indicated genre and content warning, feels out of place. Is hell a bad word? I think it was most in the context of swearing...

The Heart of a Whale—Anna Pignataro

Penguin Random House: Hardcover: 17.99

Whale's song is full of happiness, hope, magic and wonder. All of the other sea creatures love the whale's song—it fills their hearts. But the whale's heart is empty.

The Favorite Book—Bethanie Deeney Murguia

Candlewick Press: Hardcover: 16.99

There are so many things in the world to love, but how do you choose your favorites? Do you use a logical approach—like measuring—or do you go with your heart?

With lyrical rhymes and bright illustrations, Murguia shows a busy, happy world-full of possibilities. 

Middle Grade Novels

Here in the Real World—Sara Pennypacker

Harpercollins: Hardcover: 17.99

Ware's grandmother has to go to the hospital, so Ware's plan to spend the summer off in his own world, thanks to his grandmother's lax idea of supervision, is suddenly cut short. His parents are working two jobs each for the summer, in an all-out attempt to buy the house they're renting, and they won't let Ware stay home alone. They insist on signing him up at the recreation center, which Ware hates, because every minute is structured with “meaningful social interaction”. What normal kids are supposed to be able to do. But on one of their around-the-block hikes, Ware finds a tree he can climb, and he drops down on the other side of the wall. There, Ware sees the crumbling remains of a half-demolished church as a great castle, but a girl named Jolene has already claimed the property, and she isn't at all sure she wants to share her space.Jolene wants the lot for planting and planning, and Ware wants the lot for dreaming, so Jolene often scolds him for not living in the “real world”. But when they find out that their safe space is scheduled for demolition, Jolene and Ware decide they can combine their talents to save it. A wonderful story that shows how the children with the fewest social skills are often the ones most worth knowing.

There's no way he'd ever knock on doors to ask people for their votes...until he meets Maya.

NO: Maya Rehman's having the worst Ramadan ever. Her best friend is too busy to hang out, her summer trip is canceled, and now her parents are separating. Why her mother thinks the solution to her problems is political canvassing--with some awkward dude she hardly knows--is beyond her. 

MAYBE SO: Going door to door isn't exactly glamorous, but maybe it's not the worst thing in the world. After all, the polls are getting closer--and so are Maya and Jamie. Mastering local activism is one thing. Navigating the cross-cultural crush of the century is another thing entirely.

Bloom—Kenneth Oppel

Penguin: Hardcover: 16.99

The invasion begins--but not as you'd expect. It begins with rain. Rain that carries seeds. Seeds that sprout--overnight, everywhere. These new plants take over crop fields, twine up houses, and burrow below streets. They bloom--and release toxic pollens. They bloom--and form Venus flytrap-like pods that swallow animals and people. They bloom--everywhere, unstoppable.Or are they? Three kids on a remote island seem immune to the toxic plants. Anaya, Petra, Seth. They each have strange allergies--and yet not to these plants. What's their secret? Can they somehow be the key to beating back this invasion? They'd better figure it out fast, because it's starting to rain again.

Because you used to leaf through the dictionary, Casually, as someone might in a barber shop, and Devotedly, as someone might in a sanctuary, Each letter would still have your attention if not For the responsibilities life has tightly fit, like Gears around the cog of you, like so many petals Hinged on a daisy. That’s why I’ll just use your Initial. Do you know that in one treasured story, a Jewish ancestor, horseback in the woods at Yom Kippur, and stranded without a prayer book, Looked into the darkness and realized he had Merely to name the alphabet to ask forgiveness— No congregation of figures needed, he could speak One letter at a time because all of creation Proceeded from those. He fed his horse, and then Quietly, because it was from his heart, he Recited them slowly, from aleph to tav. Within those Sounds, all others were born, all manner of Trials, actions, emotions, everything needed to Understand who he was, had been, how flaws Venerate the human being, how aspirations return Without spite. Now for you, may your wife’s X-ray return with good news, may we raise our Zarfs to both your names in the Great Book of Life.

#1yrago Cragne Manor, an 84-room horror "exquisite corpse" text adventure that's a tribute to the classic game Anchorhead

It's the 20th anniversary of Anchorhead, Michael Gentry's seminal horror text adventure; to commemorate the occasion, Ryan Veeder and Jenni Polodna worked with 84 developers to create Cragne Manor, a tribute, whose puzzles are ingenious, frustrating and amazing.

Each of the developers was given one room to create, without any knowledge of the others developers' rooms, making "each location ... a different author's take on a tribute to Anchorhead, or an original work of Lovecraftian cosmic horror, or a deconstruction of cosmic horror, or a gonzo parody of cosmic horror, or a parody of some other thing, or a portrait of life in Vermont, or a pure experiment in writing with Inform 7, or something else entirely. There are tons of puzzles. The puzzles get very weird."

Early reviews are very positive: Zarf updates says "It's glorious. It's a mess. It's a glorious mess... It's a grand collection of vignettes by the biggest collective of IF authors ever gathered in one fictional Vermont town. It's a demonstration of varied styles, varied approaches to puzzle design, and varied takes on the idea of 'Lovecraftian/Anchorheadian game'. It's creepy and funny and gross and poetic."

Emily Short writes: "I can tell you already that if you like parser IF, you want to play this. It’s sometimes scary, sometimes disgusting, sometimes funny, sometimes weird, and sometimes all of those at once — but I’ll let you find the horse for yourself. And somehow all that surreal adds up to something greater than the sum of its parts."

C8: ‘Cirque du Arses’

Başımı John’un her dava sonrası oturup bloguna yazılar döşediği masaya bırakıp herkesin birbirine bakıp gülmesini izlemekle geçirdim. İçlerinden sadece Elvan sakin ve donuktu. Yıldız Tilbe de bildiğiniz gibi işte, Yıldız Tilbe olmaya devam ediyordu. Sherlock, John ve Jim hiç bitmeyecekmiş gibi olan bir konuşma içinde Elvan’la Yıldız’a bakıyorlardı. Yıldız onları görüp yerden kalkıp John’un yanına gider. 

Y.T: “Şarkı aççsana!” John kadının bağırmasından irkilip ona gülerek bakar.

J: “What?”

Y.T: “ŞŞAARKI AÇSANA LAN!” Bu biraz sert oldu Yıldız abla. 

J: “shhrkı?”

Y.T: “SONG SONG! İdyot herif.” 

Aralarındaki saçma iletişime katlanamadığımdan Yıldız’ı kolundan tutup sandalyeye oturturum. 

A: “Ne istersin Yıldız abla?”

Y.T: “Aç be oynak bişiiğler!”

A: “Tamam.” derim hafif korkmaya başlayarak. Kadının dağınık kızıl saçları ve diplerindeki siyahın tonunun dikkatimi dağıtması sonucunda arkamda oluşan halay topluluğunu fark etmem biraz zaman almıştır. 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=COghD-UyE3U

Bir anda arkamdan çok tanıdık melodiler gelir. AH hayır! Balkanlar olmaz! Kapatın şu müziği! Hangi ilerizeka açtı bunu? Off. Maalesef o dans çemberine katılıp ben de istemsiz şekilde oynamaya ve göbek atmaya başlarım. Bir anda sol kolumu ezip geçen bir cisim çemberin ortasına yerleşip hepimize iş atmaya başlar. Bu cisim tabii ki Yıldız Tilbe’den başkası değildir. 

Y.T: “AAAAAALLAH. Aaah, ağağaaağağa aah!” diyerek savaş çığlıklarıyla çemberdeki herkesi etkisi altına alır. Bu etkinin kesinliğinden emin olunca da Sherlock’a oynar her şeyi. Sherlock çok saçma bir şekilde etkilenmiş görünür ve onu izler. Yıldız sonra John’un sinirlerine basmaya çalışır.

Y.T: “Sen de az oyna be babalık!” 

John ne dediğini anlamaz ama kendi çapında oynar fakat Yıldız Tilbe olaya müdahale edip nasıl oynaması, parmak şıklatması ve kıvırması gerektiğini gösterir. 

Bence ben hala rüya görüyorum. Gerçekten bu kadar şey sonunda rüya çıkacak tıpkı Lost’ta olduğu gibi. Mantık çerçevesine oturtabildiğim tek kişi Elvan olduğundan ona yapışacağım gibi bundan sonra. 

J.M: “Hey witch! Can you teach me that?” der meraklı çocuklar gibi. Bu Jim gerçek bir gerizekalı. Neyse ki Elvan ve Sherlock bunlara katılmadı da kendimi yalnız-

S: “Me too!” Bu ne entüziyağzım?

E: “Oh fuck it. I just want to learn the belly dance.” der bana bakıp. Hepsi salakça bir şekilde Yıldız’ın yaptığından bağımsız başka danslar türetirken ben de bu müziğin kaynağını bulmaya çalışayım bari. Bu öyle telefondan bilgisayardan gelmiyor. Bildiğiniz alttan alttan geliyor. Basını sonuna kadar açmışlar falan böyle. Hayır bayan Hudson yaşlı başlı olmasa o açtı diyeceğim. Hadi o açsa şiki şiki baba açmaz. Şimdi bunu burada bir ben bir de Yıldız Tilbe bilir. Ha belki de Elvan. Elvan’ın telefonuna mı baksam acaba şehir şebekesi hoparlörlerie mi bağlı diye? Etrafı aramaya başlamam son hız devam ederken arkamda bir el hissedip Allah yarattı demeden arkama dönüp elini kırarım. 

J.M: “SHIT! YOU BROKE MY ARM!” 

A: “Sorry but you interrupted my search.”

J.M:” Wha?”

A: “What?”

J.M: “What search you idiot?” Bu arada konuşurken gayet ayık daha demin kayınpederin ensesine şaplak atan damat gibi davranan bu herif. Oğlum sen kimi kafalıyorsun?

A: “Aren’t you high?”

J.M: “NO! If I was I couldn’t walk you MURDERER!”

A: “I didn’t do that on purpose. It’s a reflex.” 

J.M: “To kill people?”

A: “I just broke your hand, you sound like a tormented child locked in a basement.” 

Jim sanki ona dünyanın sırrını söylemişçesine bana bakar. Okey, galiba cidden böyle bir şey yaşamış. Evet, ‘deduction’ konusunda Sherlock’tan daha ileride olduğumu söyleyebiliriz galiba. 

J.M: “Oh god. Just fix this!” der kolunu göstererek. Ama düzeltmek istemem açıkçası. Sonuçta tükürdüğünü yalamak oluyor bu.

J.M: “FIX IT OR I’LL CALL THE POLICE!”

A: “For what exactly?” derim gevşek don lastiği gibi. Bir anda şarkı değişir ve Jim diğerlerine dönüp bakar. Ben de fırsattan istifade aramama devam ederim. 

J.M: “What you’re looking for imp?”

A: “The source of this bullshit.”

J.M: “I recommend you to find a mirror and then look at it.” 

A: “I think this supposed be funny. Where’s your sister’s phone?”

J.M: “She doesn’t use a phone.”

A: “I am sure she uses it.”

J.M: “No it’s a toy phone for children.”

A: “What are you bullshitting? Tell where it is!”

J.M: “First fix my arm.”

A: “I’m not a magician okay? Go to a hospital.”

J.M: “I can’t just walk into a hospital and say hi.”

A: “You’re just going to say, someone broke my arm please fix it doc. Oh wait. John! Tell John to fix it.” 

J.M: “NO.”

A: “Well isn’t it a bit too direct?”

J.M: “He’ll cut my arm off I’m sure of it. I’ll be Jim Lannister for the rest of my life and try to find my personality again. Which a struggle I refuse.”

A: “What did you say? Oh god you’re all maniac.” 

J.M: “The hand, is his sword hand remember? So that’s what all he is known for except being the kingslayer... but still, it’s his identification. So that Bolton man chopped his identity like Ramsey did to Greyjoy boy. Oh my god I should start doing this. I’m an idiot.” 

A: “I thought that’s what you did to Sherlock for years.”

J.M: “Oh that’s just a game. I never meant to hurt him like they do in game of thrones. It’s real life after all, so I may-”

A: “Are you sure you are not high?”

J.M: “You asked if I am not and then if I am high. Are you high?”

A: “No I’m just here for observation. I can tell that you didn’t inhaled the smoke.”

J.M: “Why were you watching me inhale and exhale things?”

A: “Oh maybe I want to be sure of my employers’ safety.”

J.M: “Which one?”

A: “Uum... you of course!”

J.M: “I’m not a fool. You meant specifically just Sherlock even though you tried to get the letter ‘s’ for John, it was not very heart felt, wasn’t it?”

A: “I broke your arm and you’re chatting with me.”

J.M: “I faked it! But I’m sure there’ll be a bruise. My only intention was to make you talk to me and I got what I needed. Thanks to your stubbornness.” 

A: “Why?”

J.M: “Well, think this as an interview for your position.”

A: “Then when will I get my results?”

J.M: “We’ll call you later.”

Gözlerimi devirip bu adamı kendisi ve saçmalıklarıyla baş başa bırakıp halay çekmeye yemin etmiş dört gerizekalıyı birbirinden ayırıp John ve Sherlock’u halay ayini çemberinin içinden çekip çıkarırım. 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i0IYD33BR1c&feature=youtu.be&t=25

Sonra onları merdivenlerin oraya götürürüm. 

A: “Which one of you has enough brain to talk?”

Aynı anda birbirlerini gösterip gülme krizine girerler. 

A: “Bravo then. I’ll start with you Sherlock.”

S: “Oh, we dropped the names? What happened to Mr. Holmes?”

J: “Ugh! That’s really funny! The way she says it like, oh misster Holmes where are my panties? I couldn’t find them under your bed.”

Bu adamın suratı bir yumruk istiyor. 

A: “Oh I found it John!” dedikten sonra suratına istediğini verip Sherlock’a dönerim ve bir anda adamın tüm ‘sense’leri nedense yerine gelir.

S: “You punched him! The man who hired you!”

A: “What? Should I feel conscious in a way cause he does what he must do?”

S: “No he did not have to hire you. Specifically you. He wanted it to be you!”

A: “What?”

S: “Look, I can’t keep this away from you anymore.” der ve John’a bakar. John elini suratından çekip Sherlock’a döner ve Sherlock cebinden bir zarf çıkarır. 

J: “No you won’t do it Sherlock! Get back to your senses!” 

S: “I can’t let this experiment to end with a disaster.”

J: “What disaster? She’s having fun, we are!”

A: “No actually. From the beginning of this day my mind is like a soup.”

S: “Ahaha! It’s a fun saying! A soup!” der ve John ve bana bakar. Yüzü tekrar ciddileşir ve elindeki zarfı bana uzatır.

S: “Now take it.”

J: “Don’t be ridiculous Sherlock.”

J.M: “YEAAH! Don’t be ridiculous Sherrinford!” 

Jim’in geldiğini görünce Sherlock’un yüzü düşer ve elindeki zarfı da tam ben alacakken hızla cebine koyar ve ayağa kalkıp Jim’in karşısına geçer.

S: “How come you know my name? There are only three people-”

J: “U-um!”

S: “Four people-”

A: “Uumm, don’t forget me!”

S: “Shit! I assume John told everyone around him.” dedikten sonra John’a iki tane kızgın bakış atıp kalkmasını söyler. 

J: “No... bullshit. I didn’t! But maybe Mycroft just talked to us a little about it after that incident in Sherrinford?”

S: “Stop bothering my memories! And you assistant! You will not work with him! He is a psychopath unlike me.”

A: “I thought you are all psychopaths. Except Yıldız Tilbe.”

J + S + J.M: “Who?”

A: “Can’t remember a client’s name even yet you call yourself a detective.”

S: “I remember what I choose to!” 

A: “So I should feel lucky that you didn’t forget that I’m your assistant?”

S: “Yes.”

A: “What about my name?”

S: “Well actually you never said your name and-” derken Sherlock ve John’un telefonları aynı anda çalar. 

S: “It can be a trick!” der ve dönüp Jim’e bakar.

J.M: “OH come on! I am RETIRED! I have no finger on this.”

S: “Mycroft. You?”

J: “Mycroft?” der ve ikisi de aynı anda telefonu açarlar. Bir anda etrafta o iğrenç frekans çarpışmasından oluşan 1500 desibellik çınlama olur ve herkes kendini yerde bulur. Sherlock telefonunu kapatıp etrafına bakar fakat hepimiz sesten dolayı bilincimizi yerine getirmekte zorlanırız. Sherlock John’a ve Jim’e bakar. Jim yerde gülerken bacağına bir el yapışır. Jim omzunun üstünden bacağına bakar ve yavaş yavaş bedenine tırmanan Yıldız Tilbe’yi görür. Kadın zombi filminden çıkmış gibi olduğu için de Jim korkup geri kaçar ve Sherlock’a çarpar.

J.M: “Save me Sherry!” Sherlock Jim’i çeker ve ikimizin arasına alır. Yıldız Tilbe de yerde kaldığıyla kalır ve sonra da başını yere koyup uyur. 

J.M: “Is she dead?”

S: “Shut up Moriarty. John. JOHN!” Sherlock John’u sarsar ve John bir şeyler geveler.

S: “John! Wake up!”

J: “Five minutes more mummy.”

S: “I’m not your mom! Wake up!”

J: “Oh Sherlock? It’s been a long time since you haven’t-”

S: “Hush John! Stop talking nonsense... everyone can hear you. “

J: “Oh what now? Are you embarrassed?”

S: “John, stop it.” 

J.M: “Oh my god don’t tell me that you cheated on me with him!”

S: “No I did not do any kind of that particular thing that you are all thinking right now! Stop stamping us as a couple! We are a pair but not a couple!”

J: “What? we are just a pair? Like shoes?”

Allah’ım dayanamıyorum. Galiba kendimi merdivenlerden aşağı atıp Feriha gibi bayılacağım. 

A: “Sherlock don’t change the subject and give me the envelope!”

J: “What? Envelope?”

E: “What’s happening here? I can’t believe you joined them brother!” 

J.M: “Pfft! Sorry sis but you know how in love I am.” 

E: “It is OBSESSION JIM!”

J.M: “Oh fuck it! You’ve never been in love and you can’t know it-”

S: “It’s obsession.”

J.M: “What?”

S: “Love is a type of overdriven obsession.”

J.M: “WHAT?”

J: “Aaah, don’t be a dick!”

S: “Yes it is.”

A: “He is right guys.”

J + J.M: “WHAT?”

S: “Ssstop saying that! And for the first time we agree on a matter.”

A: “No actually.I know that you pretend to not believe in love but actually you do believe.”

J.M: “Yes after our time on the rooftop and-”

J: “Oh disgusting!”

S: “Don’t be homophobic.”

J: “What? ME? If I was a homophobic how would I handle all the situations of our misunderstood relationship status?” 

S: “Oh that’s just a way of denial John. We both know you are homophobic but also secretly interested in these stuff.”

J: “What stuff?”

S: “Don’t make me say things might hurt you.”

J: “No no say it. I’ve had enough hurt coming from you. It wouldn’t hurt me after evertyhing.”

J.M: “Oh fighting! I love it!”

E: “Jim please let’s get out of here.”

J.M: “What no?”

S: “Look I don’t want to hurt you! Not again in front of all these people.”

J: “Oh so you became sentimental right now? Not expected from Sherlock Holmes. Detective with a funny bloody hat!” 

S: “Do-not-call-me-like-that!”

J: “Why? Because of the woman?”

A: “What woman?”

S: “Like you don’t know!” Bu adam baya çirkefleşiyor kavga edince.

A: “I don’t!”

S: “Yeah yeah of course.”

J.M: “The woman...”

J: “Talk later Jim. We’re having a fight here!”

J.M: “Oh yeah sorry.”

J: “Tell me Sherlock. What’s it under your tongue?”

S: “Frenulum.”

J: “Sh- just say it!”

S: “What?”

J: “What I am!”

S: “You want me to make deductions about yo-”

J: “No bloody idiot! Don’t pretend you don’t know what I mean! Say it! Hurt me!”

S: “That was a bit-”

J.M: “Sexy...”

A: “Thanks for the commentary.” 

S: “No,  I would prefer self destructive and also low self esteem can be seen even from Everest!”

A: “Aq yine benim espirilerimi çalıyor.”

S: “Yeah I did. Do you have any objections?”

A: “Not of course.”

J: “Tell me!”

S: “Okay but don’t be mad at me after.”

J: “I’ll try my best.”

S: “Okay. So my deduction is that you pretend to be not interested in homosexual relationships but you are not avoiding it. So this means you are actually curious if anyone around you is homosexual you would try to get into his pants. Cause, women are not just enough for your appetite. You are a hungry sex addict man cause you need applause from everyone for what you have done in the army. Not just army, also your previous life before that. I can’t imagine how hard it was but I can understand why you are expecting to be welcomed by everyone. Cause you’ve had a lonely childhood. You never had any praise from anyone around you. Your family members were not so considerate towards your true desires of life. So you gave up on them and went to college in a different city -preferably far far away- and found the first love of your life there. Her name is something very common and plain so it made you feel you belonged somewhere. You couldn’t abandon that feeling until- Until... Unfortunately you still have that feeling. That’s why you can’t abandon me or anyone.”

Aaaaaa... Bu biraz ağır olmadı mı? Yine de çok mantıklı geldiğini söylemeliyim. Çünkü John’un suratı her cümlede gittikçe kararıyordu ve Sherlock’a yumruk atmamak için kendini zor tuttuğu barizdi. 

A: “Umm John, let’s get some air and leave this man with his hallucinations.” 

John’u omuzlarından sarsıp zorla binadan çıkarınca gece lambası yüzünden kendine gelir ve beş altı kez gözlerini kırpıştırır. 

J: “Wow. “

John bir süre caddeye bakar ve başını sağa sola sallar sanki düşünür gibi.

J: “Son of a bitch.”

A: “O-okay...” 

J: “A smart one.”

A: “Yeah... but rude.”

J: “Yes.” 

A: “You want to go to somewhere like-”

J: “Pub it is.”

A: “O-ok-okay?” 

J: “Why you stutter?”

A: “U-umm i-it’s I DON’T KNOW!”

J: “Calm down. Let’s get a cab.” dedikten sonra kafasını çıkarıp gelen taksi var mı diye bakar. 

A: “Umm, looking at the wrong direction.” dedikten sonra gelen taksiye ıslık çalarım ve durur. Garip... John hemen taksiye biner ve kapıyı kapatır. Peki. Keşke yana kayıp ben de binseydim ama olsun sinirli herhalde bu adam. Arkadan dolaşıp kapıyı açarken bir anda kapı elimden kayıverir. Çünkü taksi beni almadan direk gider. Çünkü John bir-

S: “Cock!” diyerek binadan hızla çıkar. Evet o bir ‘cock’ bir ‘dickhead’ dir. En az Sherlock kadar. 

S: “Let’s get the other one. TAXI!” der ve bir anda bir taksi gelip aramızda durur. Ta-tamam. Sherlock paltosunu çekip taksiye biner ve hızla kapıyı kapatır. Ben de kapıyı açarım ve içeri girecekken Sherlock beni eliyle iter. NE? 

S: “This cab’s for me. You take the other one.”

A: “WHAT?”

S: “Take it!”

A: “I won’t come unless you pay for it!”

S: “Don’t come then! Get OFF!”

A: “Fuck you Sherlock Holmes!”

S: “Thanks.” der ve arkamdan kapıyı kapatır. 

Ellerimi şakaklarıma götürüp baskı uyguladıktan sonra bunun rüya olduğunu ve uyanmam gerektiğini düşünürüm. Ama kendimi uyandıramam. O zaman uyanmak için ekstrem şeyler yapma gerek. Yani bu da demek oluyor ki gelecek taksinin önüne atlayacağım. Neden olmasın? 

Evet uzaktan bir taksi geliyor tam da şansıma. Taksiye hızlanıp beni alması için ıslık çalarım ve tam istediğim hızda gelir. Aramızdaki mesafeyi ve taksi hızını hesaplayıp ona göre en hasar alacak şekilde taksinin üzerine atlarım. Taksi sağa sola kıracağından ve şoförün sağlak olma ihtimali olmasına rağmen İngiltere trafik akışı soldan olduğundan adamın da kaldırıma çıkma gibi bir derdi olabileceğinden sağa doğru koşarım ve-

We are glad to announce that Kengo Kuma & Associates (Japan), Werner Sobek AG (Germany), Wowhaus bureau (Russia) and Personal creative workshop of architect Bakulin German Alekseevich (Russia) will create a new space of the Galiasgar Kamal Theatre.

To create a new space of the Galiasgar Kamal Theatre there has been announced the Open International Competition for the Development of an Architectural Concept. One of the competition’s key missions is enabling a gentle approach and using architectural language to express the part of the national culture that has been cherished and interpreted by the theatre company for decades.

Site location plan:

Transformed into a new architectural dominant, the building will remain connected to its context: the unique ecosystem of the Kaban lake chain, the centre of vivid urban life. The theatre will become yet another attraction for Kazan city dwellers and guests. For example, the new building is to have three halls: Main, Universal and Eastern, as well as creative and educational laboratories, a public area and rehearsal and administrative spaces.

Galiasgar Kamal Theatre Architecture Competition News

The Kamal Theater, the oldest national theater of Russia, was established in 1906.

The current theater building on the shore of the Kaban lake has been in operation since 1985.

Geographically, Kamal Theater is situated in the center, between the historical Russian and Tatar parts of Kazan, and between the hilly city center and the lowland behind Kaban lake. The concept of “center” also applies to the theater in a symbolical way: it’s a place where Russian, Tatar and other folk cultures that coexist in the republic cross, mix and there is mutually beneficial exchange. Architecturally, the theater plays a central role as well. The building resembling a sailing ship on the lake’s shore is a key urban dominant element in the area of the Bolaq channel, Kaban lake and Tatarstan street.

Its uniqueness is provided by the eclecticism of its repertoire, use of miscellaneous theatrical languages and techniques, versatility and flexibility of the acting company of the theater team in general, and varied activity forms, from on-stage performances to education. The theater has always played a role of an educational center, without limiting itself to activities tied to theater and performances alone. The theater has been holding forums that unite people from Turkic-language theaters across the CIS for many years, and is actively collaborating with European theaters.

Zarf history

To understand that, we have to go back to 16th century Turkey when the first Turkish coffee houses were created and their famously robust coffee was served ceremoniously. According to Turkish Style Ground Coffee, under the rule of the Ottoman Empire, which banned alcohol, coffee became the premier social drink. Turkish coffee houses became the destinations where discussions regarding the present political and social climate captivated the men-only facilities for hours. They became such a powerful cultural thread that the sultan of the Ottoman Empire, threatened by these gatherings, banned coffee altogether in the 17th century. The people revolted and the sultan reluctantly reopened coffee houses, albeit with a heavy tax. Today, Turkish coffee houses are still the social and cultural epicenters, and the coffee is consumed much the same way as they did centuries ago. Just as the preparation of coffee is painstakingly ritualistic, so is how the coffee is served. Because coffee signifies friendship and loyalty, the server presents it ornately to illustrate their affection. It is poured into a small porcelain cup called a kahve finjan which doesn’t have any handles. Because the liquid is so hot, the cup is then placed into a decorative holder, usually made of metal, called a zarf. This combo is then placed onto an artistic serving tray with a glass of water and a little sweet treat now categorized as “Turkish delights”. Zarf simply means “envelope” in Turkish. We know it as “the cardboard sleeve that you put around your to-go coffee cup”.

This is sentence is extracted from the book 'Adabe Islami' where it os clearly mentioned that a person becomes needless only by tawaqal or by keeping trust in existence of Allaha

This the thing which i need in this hour

May Allaha bless us to be patient in difficult situations of life and i ask that zarf from him, so that I will not be in losers Inshallaha

Funny Fairy Tales

Do you love Cinderella, Rapunzel, and Jack and the Beanstalk?  These old classics are great, but sometimes we want a new spin on an old fave.  Not only are these books great fairy tale retellings, but they are also laugh-out-loud funny!  Check out the list below!

Stinkbomb and Ketchup-Face and the Badness of Badgers

Author: John Dougherty

Illustrator: Sam Ricks

Welcome to the kingdom of Great Kerfuffle!  Great Kerfuffle is really great. And there's usually a kerfuffle (the clue's in the name really). This particular kerfuffle started the day Stinkbomb's twenty dollar bill went missing. Stinkbomb and his little sister Ketchup-Face know exactly who took it: the badgers. After all, they're called badgers because they do bad things; otherwise they'd just be gers. They bring news of the badgers' treachery to King Toothbrush Weasel who sends them on a quest to rid the land of badgers that not even a knight in shining armor could complete! What follows is a full on kerfuffle-fest, containing:  one deep dark forest, a grocery cart in distress, a song about jam--and, of course, a band of very tricky badgers. Will Stinkbomb and Ketchup-face catch the thief and save the kingdom of these beasts?
