Just Call Me Gob

Guess what I did this morning….
Oh, I’ll just tell you, I rode a Segway!!!!
And I squealed like a child, it was pretty damn cool!
In other news, I stayed up until 2am trying to decipher some story and verse books written in old Cyrillic from 1899. The have drawings on the cover that makes [...]

Signs of Life

Even on my crappy little non-hi-def tv, seeing the crisp beauty and some how sadness of the final fireworks scene in Herzog’s film Signs of Life just grabbed at my heart. I re-watched the film immediately with commentary; there is nothing better than hearing Herzog soothe me over the new surround setup. [...]

Goodnight, Blustery Day

It’s nice to be home. Snuffly but better. Working on projects that I’ve been wanting to get to.
Like last night, I moved my ol’ six speaker computer system to the tv and set it up as surround. Oh, and it’s niiiiiiiice! I watched The Corporation and am glad that this [...]

85% A True Story

I just finished reading Killing Yourself to Live by Chuck Klosterman. It’s a funny thing to read that book. Not only is he a music obsessive to a degree that comforts my own addiction (thousands of cds and the most important part of packing is selecting the music he’s going to bring [...]

The Story of Radio

Howdy ya’ll!  ‘Tis the season already!
Just got the internet going over here in housesitting land as well as starting a nice little cold for myself.  It’s not so bad except that there’s so much to do at work, blah blah. *Smile*  Have been reading a bit lately though and catching up on my Stewart/Colbert time.  [...]

The Kindness of Strangers

One of the reasons I like to volunteer at the local public library is because I’m nosy; I like to see what other people are reading. And as I’m directing books on their paths, this one on hold for a woman in Fort Bragg or this one being sent en route to Guernville, I [...]

Friday is the perfect day

“Friday comes right at the end of the week. Friday is the best day for
love letters. If you send your love letters on Monday, you miss out on
all that waiting, all that worrying. I love to worry, to play things
over in my mind. If everything happened right away, where would we be?
But if you wait [...]

Right To Opt Out

ugliest scarecrow ever
Fall afternoon light is my favorite. So much so I took the rest of the afternoon off.
Didja feel the earth roll and shake last night? A 4.0. Last month I was convinced I felt the missile testing, too close for coincidence. I woke up last night were I [...]

Radio Ballot

Just when I was about to give up on the music dvd genre, rock is in the mutherfuckin’ house!! And, literally Many thanks to my friend Ethan for bringing Burn To Shine to my attention. Not only amazing sound, amazing people, but amazing house, watching the angle of light [...]

Lost & Founds

What do you so with those single earrings? The one of two?
Busy days. The leaves stay where they fall on the ground outside the Treehouse. Pulling the suitcase up the stairs, little gnats welcome me home, dining with the newly forming bacterium on the window of my oldest pumpkin.
Sundays are the best [...]
