  • The Rub

    I’ll remark on this. Bush doing a sideswipe attempt at massaging German Chancellor Andrea Merkel’s shoulders. Mediagirl points to Majikthise and she points to others. The first pic I saw of George’s affront was Merkel raising her arms and throwing his hands off in indignation. Saw that “I’m looking elsewhere, not really doing anything here,…

  • Hot here, there, everywhere, busted AC and myriad failures

    Hot here, there, everywhere – need I say more. But I will. We live in an urban apt with no natural ventilation because the windows are all nailed shut or sealed shut with paint. Our couple of window air units aren’t the best in the world, the one in the bedroom cooled about 14 inches…

    The Child Experiments with Playing at Being a Ghost, 2004 View On White From The Child Experiments series. This was the second photo of The Child Experiments series, H.o.p. playing the ghost and wanting me to record it, confidant, I’m sure, that he was, well, ghostly, an eerie phantasm floating through the room. I obliged…

  • The small ways in which art imitates life – Sightseeing “Unending Wonders”

    The small ways in which art imitates life – Sightseeing “Unending Wonders”

    Fireworks Emporium, Tennessee Fireworks Emporium Revisited, Tennessee – Google Maps Redux The thrill and explosive, thunderous pizazz of colorful fireworks, which we Americans so closely associate with the clarion call of freedom and the 4th of July, but instead of a celebration of peace were probably more intended to recall and celebrate the “rockets red…

People are working on growing your meat course in the lab, saying it’s safer, more humane and non-polluting. Others wonder what the unintended consequences might be…

  • Thoughtful post chucked for a pointer to David Hasselhoff "Jump in my car" anti-war music video criticizing America's promises to give you a hand up to democratic capitalism (serious!)

    Forget the thoughtful post on something or other that I wrote earlier and tossed. Forget the posts I continue to write on the films of Fellini and Antonioni but end up not posting. Forget the posting I didn’t make of my recent “Trueman” dream (truly weird, had when I was sick last week). Forget the…
