A wee Facebook live video from Tuesday. 

In 1140 the King David II founded Carnbuskenneth Abbey, an Augustinian house similar to Holyrood Abbey which he also established close to his residence at Edinburgh Castle. Clearly Stirling and Edinburgh were now emerging as the two most favoured royal residences in Scotland.

In June 1314, Cambuskenneth is where after The Battle of Bannockburn the spoils of the battle were taken.

The Abbey benefited from Royal Patronage of Stirling, and became one of the richest abbeys in the country. Robert the Bruce held a Parliament here in 1326 the first to include representatives of Scotland's burghs.

After the Reformation the abbey became a quarry for stone used in various parts of Stirling itself (some of these stones were used at Mar’s Wark, next to The Church of the Holy Rude,on the road up to Stirling Castle. Apart from the bell tower which still stands today, very little was left by the time the site was excavated by William Mackison, the Stirling Burgh Architect, in 1864.

For more information including opening times see the Historic Scotland website. 

There is no charge to visit the Abbey and is  easily found on Google maps on your phone. It’s about a twenty minute walk from Stirling Train and Bus Stations.

NIOSH/OSHA pocket guide to chemical hazards / editors, Frank W. Mackison, National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, R. Scott Stricoff, Lawrence J. Partridge, Jr., A.D. Little, Inc. (OCLC #8734681)

This volume has a date of "September 1978" on its title page and a suggestive "78" as part of its publication number, but this printing history on the title page verso:

Second printing - January 1980 Third Printing - August 1980 with minor technical changes Fourth Printing - August 1981 with minor technical changes

but does that merit a new (1981) record in OCLC?

I checked the edition section of their When to Input a New Record document, and was unsure. It may fall under "difference in content"?

Either way, a full and popular record already exists for this printing, with a 1981 date and a note:

500 __ ǂa "Fourth printing, August 1981, with minor technical changes."

This record most precisely matched what I had in hand, so worked well for copy cataloging.

A Sense of Wonderment

A Sense of Wonderment

Vintage Ornament ©2018 Bo Mackison

Diane Ackerman in her book Deep Play writes,

“Wonder is the heaviest element on the periodic table. Even a tiny fleck of it stops time.”

I might add, from personal experience, that a tiny fleck of wonder can also act as a powerful drug which can drop a dollop of hope into a bucket of despair… and make a difference.

Maybe you’ve read some of the…

Cooke, Rachel. “Why Graphic Novels Are More than Picture Perfect.” The Guardian, Guardian News and Media, 12 June 2010, www.theguardian.com/books/booksblog/2010/jun/13/graphic-novels-rachel-cooke.

This article expresses the misconceptions of a graphic novel and the stigma attached to them. Rachel Cooke, expresses how important they are in terms of illustration a story in an interesting way. It’s clear that even in My New York Diary the illustration of a comic is able to represent the experience had in a visual way.

Character Growth vs Character Development

Bousquin, Marilyn. “How Graphic Memoir Can Demystify Structure.” Writing Women's Lives, 25 Jan. 2013, writingwomenslives.com/how-graphic-memoir-can-demystify-structure/.

Since memoirs are about events that occur in someones life, it’s often hard to create an order in which a reader can understand this stage of their life. In this article Marilyn expresses how she was able to structure her mess of an experience in to an organized memoir. Within My New York Diary the structure and organization work so well within what she is trying to express.

Julie’s Personal Website

Doucet, J. (n.d.). Biography. Retrieved from Julie Doucet – For Fun: http://www.juliedoucet.net/html/bio.html

For writing about Julie’s early life, I decided that it would be best to go to the source - her personal website. It’s always important to look to the original source when you can, because a primary source will often be more accurate then any secondary sources. Having access to her own story on how she grew up and what she’s currently doing was greatly helpful to writing an accurate Bio.

Information on Le Biennale de Montreal

Biennale, (29 Mar. 2019), Retrieved from https://www.bnlmtl.org/2019/03/what-will-happen-to-la-biennale-de-montreal/

This article posted by La Biennale talks about what has happened to the organization and what the future holds for it. I thought it would be interesting to look into because they had reached out to Julie to ask her to join. As a prominent part of the Montreal art scene, I thought it was important information when looking into Julie who is still active in the Montreal arts community

Chute, Hillary. “Life or Something Like It.” Artforum International, 25 July 2014, www.artforum.com/slant/hillary-chute-on-julie-doucet-s-my-new-york-diary-47566.

I chose this review to use because it was clearly written by a person with knowledge of who Julie Doucet was and was familiar with her works. I also chose it because of its analysis of the memoir and its relevance to the topic.

Doucet, Julie. “‘I Really Had to Reinvent Myself’: An Interview with Julie Doucet.” Los Angeles Review of Books, lareviewofbooks.org/article/i-really-had-to-reinvent-myself-an-interview-with-julie-doucet/#!

This was an interview with Julie that I referenced in the interviews section. I believe that it was a good one to use because it seemed to really make Julie think about her answers and challenged her. While it challenged her though, it also felt like a more normal conversation where the topics of each question flowed from Julie’s previous responses.

Doucet, Julie. “MY NEW YORK DIARY by Julie Doucet.” Kirkus Reviews, www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews/julie-doucet/my-new-york-diary/.

I chose this review because it was a short, sweet and to the point review of My New York Diary.

I chose to use this article because it features an extremely in-depth analysis of Doucet’s work that goes far beyond what my level of comprehension was. It was interesting to read about the metaphorical insights that the author found and I felt they were representative of the critical reception of the memoir.

Official, Partizan. “MY NEW NEW YORK DIARY - Short Film - Julie Doucet & Michel Gondry (2008).” YouTube, YouTube, 8 July 2014, www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-vs5hZu744.

This is one of the few times that Julie has been in the media and so I thought it would be fitting to use, especially because it relates to the topic.

Rollmann, Hans. “The Compulsive Artist: An Interview With Julie Doucet.” PopMatters, PopMatters, 24 Feb. 2018, www.popmatters.com/the-compulsive-artist-an-interview-with-julie-doucet-2495446385.html.

This was an interview in which Julie discusses her career as a comic and her reasons for quitting. I thought that it was a good interview to use because it was the only interview I found in which Julie touched on how her work being seen as feminist annoyed her. I thought that that was an interesting bit of irony.

HOT ROD Highlights from 20, 40, and 60 Years Ago: Inside Our June 1959, ’79, and ’99 Issues

20 Years Ago

June 1999 (184 pages, $3.95): This thick package was so packed with car features and tech that neither the 50th Oakland Roadster Show nor a 1957 Ford survivor of NASCAR’s 1957–1958 Grand National series (complete with a rope-activated, spring-loaded trap door enabling drivers Johnny Mackison and Frankie Thompson to monitor tire wear) rated blurbs. Buried in the way way back was Gray Baskerville’s bittersweet saga of hauling 370 miles in the rain from his Pasadena home to the Bay area—at the personal invitation of show promoter Don Tognotti—only to have his legendary Deuce roadster “deemed unfit for display” on the main floor. (“So I left.”)

40 Years Ago

June 1979 (132 pages, $1.25): The future was front and center this month. Lee Kelley’s editorial warned that “federal agencies are already into enforcement modes…that will ultimately seal the fate of hot rodding” and announced an upcoming legal series entitled, “Hot Rodders—An Endangered Species?” Tech Editor C.J. Baker saw a silver lining in the turbocharged 1979 Corvette that Chevrolet Engineering let us flog at Orange County International Raceway. Adding 6.5 pounds of boost plus Cadillac’s newfangled Bendix EFI to a supposedly stock (195hp, L-48) 350 smog motor produced muscle-car–era times: 14.38 at 95.64. After Gale Banks supplied a variable boost controller, we cranked ’er up to 10 psi and clocked 13.99/99.11 without killing any cast pistons.

60 Years Ago

June 1959 (108 pages, 35¢): Edsel—yes, that Edsel—made HOT ROD’s cover, yet Editor Wally Parks evidently considered newsstand reaction and managed not to mention the marque. A mechanical injector invented by dry-lakes racer Ed Johnson, a real rocket scientist, reportedly replaced the factory intake in 45 minutes and boosted horsepower from 202 to 262. We dunno how many units Propulsion Development Laboratories made, but we’re sure that one survived as recently as 2008, when a V8 looking suspiciously identical to ours appeared at HRM’s 50th-anniversary show in Pomona.
