Deep Thought

Penn Station, old and relatively newish Shooting Penn Station today ain’t like it used to be.  Shooting public institutions and structures in general isn’t as fun as it used to be either. Some people look at you with alarm if you’re carrying a camera in places like Penn Station. Nick Cave is on Fresh Air!

Redrum. I Mean Red Room.

By admin | Published: April 27, 2008

Redrum, still at that bar My nephew won a Battle of the Bands contest in Eureka, California. That’s pretty great when you hear someone play and you think, “That’s nice. Keep practicing.” And he does and wins a Battle of the Bands just like in the movies six months later. The quality of blogging at [...]

The Great Communicator’s Communicator

By admin | Published: April 25, 2008

Friday Happy Hour Blogging An exchange with a friend about Peggy Noonan’s column in the WSJ prompted me to dig out a few of the responses amongst the reality-based crowd. Firedoglake calls out her invocation of Henry Ford, an avowed anti-Semite honored by the Hitler regime in 1936. Media Matters notes Obama wrote a whole [...]

The (Latin) South Shall Rise Again

By admin | Published: April 24, 2008

Union Square, 9 pm Sometimes you think about something and then a few days later, a story appears that corroborates your thoughts. Synchronicity. It’s true that Naomi Klein has also written on The Iraq Effect on Latin America in The Shock Doctrine. Regardless of what you think of socialism, this is the first time since [...]

Stuff on Shelves, Fire Escapes

By admin | Published: April 22, 2008

Empty supermarkets can be spooky I’d rather buy groceries at these older places with the faulty ceilings than the over-packaged gourmet markets. Be your own galloping gourmet. Cleaning cleaning cleaning. Spring spring spring. Giving the politics and linking a rest as I get my house in order. I handwashed my Mexican blanket and one of [...]

If It’s Spring, We Can Cozy Up With Them

By admin | Published: April 21, 2008

Identify this flower, feel good for a minute. A friend loaned me a camera! Haven’t used it yet… this is still old stuff. Just some links to follow up on yesterday’s weirdness… Wolcott on Men Evolving Badly. I know what he’s on about but I am Superman, Underdog, and Spiderman all rolled into one. Just [...]

The Next Feminist Platform

By admin | Published: April 20, 2008

Riding a fish is funner than birthing one. Feminism isn’t a topic I’ll post about much but I find the idea of Orgasmic Birth fascinating. Any wedge that puts a dent in the conventional Biblican wisdom, here specifically Genesis 3:16 –(“…I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth [...]

Music Is a Fuzzy Cathedral

By admin | Published: April 18, 2008

Riverside Church – fuzzy mode I lost my camera a couple days ago but I’ll post some rejects. Eighth Blackbird performed at Carnegie Hall’s Zankel Hall last night. Playing a piece written for them called “Double Sextet” — hence written for 12 musicians — 8bb actually play against a recording of themselves playing the other [...]

Torture Through the Centuries; The Concise Wingnut

By admin | Published: April 16, 2008

Walk on the ice cubes, not the hot coals Want to know more about torture? I know that you do. Condi apparently discussed whether detainees should be beat, slapped, sleep-deprived, water-boarded, all the above. McCain’s own accounting is that he broke and falsely admitted to war crimes to make it stop. And yet he has [...]

Nestbuilding in e

By admin | Published: April 15, 2008

Squatting at the Rude Aid® Manhattan real estate is still kind of tight I guess. I hope the bastids don’t sweep the happy couple out for “health” reasons. Speaking of “health,” someone told me America is the only country in the world where pharmacies sell cigarettes. This has got to be the fad gadget of [...]
