Blog Information
Etherised Patient, the latest incarnation of my blog, was born after about two years without public blogging, and was unveiled on July 16, 2009. Although I’d still been sporadically posting on LiveJournal throughout that time, ’twas not the same as having a domain, which I realised was something I missed.
The name “etherised patient” is derived from line three of the poem The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock by T.S. Eliot. Poetry has never really been my “thing”, however this one I think is quite beautiful.
Let us go then, you and I,
When the evening is spread out against the sky
Like a patient etherised upon a table;
Let us go, through certain half-deserted streets,
The muttering retreats

Fair Dealing Rationale
Sometimes, images of movie posters, DVD covers, or book covers, accompany blog posts. As these are used for review and criticism purposes, they fall under fair dealing and fair use doctrines of Australian and the United States law respectively, and are the property of their respective studios. In addition, I do not make any money off any portion of this blog, including the posts in question.
