    Tullie Smith Farm Log Cabin

    Tullie Smith Farm Log Cabin Atlanta History Center, 2008 View On White Atlanta History Center, Tullie Smith Farm Area View On White Little log cabins and farm houses don’t exactly thrill me.

  • Some Book Buying Out of the Way

    Anybody got a Harold Jacob’s “Mathematics, A Human Endeavor” book they want to sell me for cheap? Never mind. I found a second edition copy that I purchased for $26. I should not have. H.o.p. will hate it. But we’ll have it none-the-less. I’m on a math list that is starting a study using the…

  • A little earlier…

    A little earlier I was reading Touching the River which is all about electrified art. H.o.p. was drawing elsewhere. Then I was done and reading something else and H.o.p. gets up from the table and starts dancing around telling me about a new character he’s just come up with. THE ELECTRIC KNIGHT! He’s all electric.…

  • "Two Women"

    "Two Women"

    At least a couple of the plot synopses I’ve found online for Vittorio de Sica’s 1960 “Two Women” are just plain wrong. So I thought I’d give my own brief (clumsy) one here, and I may have a few points wrong as I’m writing wholly from memory but not so wrong as some of the…

  • This Morning…

    Me, I’m just waiting for the water for my coffee to heat up. Waiting for Marty to get home from the laundry. Waiting for H.o.p. to get going (he drug a pile of books to bed with him and read late into the night). In the meanwhile I clean the bathroom which is never in…

  • The Neighborhood Gets Way Too Eventful (And Snow)

    I woke up Tuesday morning set to spend the day devoted to working on Sue’s photos but checking my email I discovered that I was part of Dreamhost’s $7,500,000 f*** u* in which they accidentally way overcharged all their customers. Only I didn’t know this was a major all-encompassing script snafu yet. All I knew…

  • Picasso’s Three Musicians

    Picasso’s Three Musicians

    Picasso’s Three Musicians Light box enlargement H.o.p., above, scanning for more sculptures he wanted me to photograph at the Museum of Modern Art.

  • Monteverdi's Orfeo

    How I came across Marilia Vargas was looking up Monteverdi’s “Orfeo” at Youtube. “Mom, look up some opera for me,” H.o.p. said. He meant something like Mozart’s “Requiem” but he’s never seen Ponnelle’s 1978 staging of “Orfeo”. Instead I found clips from the Jordi Savall/Brian Large 2002 production. The opening is promising… Marilia Vargas as…
