  • BACKSTAGE AT THE BIG ARENA POP CONCERT

    David, H.o.p. and Amy back stage The other night, H.o.p. was being a real jerk, and what came out of my mouth was, “Yeah, you better hope you grow up to be Pablo Picasso”. He had no idea I was referring to the song, “Pablo Picasso Was Never Called an Asshole”, my preference being the…

  • Trying To Feel Like I’m Accomplishing Something While Procrastinating

    Georgia, Gas Station, July 22 2007 H.o.p. through the car window. Light box enlargement Love the above photo of H.o.p., the subtle color, and he was just so happy waving through the window at me. * * * * * * * * I am procrastinating wildly. This is how I procrastinate on getting some…

  • Lousy Videoblogging – The Politics of Cheese

    This is the worst videoblog we’ve done to date. No merit to it whatsoever. As usual, horrendous video quality and sound–but good enough to make out what we’re saying and get the point. Anyway, way back on July 12th (forever and a day in blogland), the blogger, A White Bear, posted Dear Rich People, STFU,…

  • America Bowls

    America Bowls Light box enlargement Went to a kiddie’s birthday bowling party this weekend. Out in the suburbs. H.o.p. had a great time. I took photos. Of people bowling. Yes, you who were there who will never find your way here, I was the older lady squatting on her haunches with a camera or right…

  • Yes, yes, I'm watching C-Span

    I’m sitting here writing and watching the filibuster or procedural block or whatever on C-Span 2 on my computer (don’t have cable). Had been listening to music earlier (yes, Bowie) on the headphones then gone away for a while and returned. So I picked up the headphones before I went to C-Span and put them…

  • Bad parenting

    I was in the next room and heard H.o.p. questioning Marty endlessly on something and heard also a note of exasperation entering Marty’s weary voice. Then… Marty: How many times have I told you the answer? Why do you keep asking me that? H.o.p. (with a laconic touch of extremely dry nonchalant humor in his…

  • Cheap or resourceful is sometimes just a matter of perspective

    No, no. I’ve been tagged again on the Eight Random Facts About You Meme. This time by Lavonne at Born Famous. I’ve done it before but will give another shot at randomness, supposing my mine of randomness hasn’t been exhausted. 1.) I keep on my desk what used to be a nice Orchids of Hawaii,…

  • The Ultra Green Hobo Bindle Bag

    Thanks to Jennifer at Saying Yes for today’s Obviously Ultra Green idea of the Hobo Bag, taking our cue from No Impact Man’s Ultra Green Reusable Mason Jar which I first blogged about here. As response to yesterday’s videoblogging of The Alternative to Ungreen Plastic Disposable Cups at Parties was heartwarmingly overwhelming, I have decided…

  • Hunkered Down

    Glorious sand, salt, surf and suntan lotion! Never mind what else went on in the world, Bush went fishing over the weekend and Paris frolicked in Hawaii. And I sat all weekend torturing myself with trying to write (really write) while honking ten tons of blood-laced snot out of my nose (a damn summer cold).…

  • Tagged for the Random Eight Meme

    Going through posts I’ve never posted, wondering which ones I might salvage, and came across one made Jan 14 2006 in which I’d noted H.o.p. was wondering if Bush could be farted out of office. I also had noted how much I like marshmallows but rarely eat them. Jennifer at Saying Yes has hit me…

  • Blogging "The Angry Red Planet"

    Me: A is for American International Pictures. Me Too: B is for Brass! Washington DC! Night! Tense percussion. Pentagon! Cut to…uh wait, let’s rewind the brass heading into their meeting because I’ve got to watch these guys walk around the corner in that hall again. I’m helpless to fully elucidate my delight at such bad…

  • Walking is good for your health…sort of…you say…as you try to ignore the smog…

    I tell myself that walking is healthy for me and for H.o.p. Before he was born I used to walk miles. It was how I got around. Though sometimes in the summer it was difficult as the air quality here is horrible and it would give my asthma problems on hot days. H.o.p. doesn’t like…
