“We Can’t Stop the Dancing Chicken”

It is the right night to watch the commentary on Stroszek. Stories of places, the real people of Herzog’s film, musings on vulnerability, reality, re-discovery of mesmerism. Characters, conflict and effort. American nightmares, dreams, and where travel and immigration meet. Invention and truth. So many scenes that should be considered; [...]

Shiny, Shiny

Hmmm. I am not to be trusted with the review of this show. Because I loved it. But didn’t even stay until the end. Live the moments.

Working For the Weekend

So tired. Guess it could be be because I quite my job last week. Oh, and can I just tell you how much tension just up and left my body when I finally committed? I made a couple of calls to some people in the office to let them know about my [...]

Old Skool/New School?

Last nite I drove to my ol’ university and saw a talk given by Jonathan Kozol. Part of a Social Justice Lecture Series, Kozol discussed the re-segregation that is still occurring in our public school system. He made a passionate presentation, relating personal anecdotes garnered from his travels to different schools across the [...]
