  • Oh yeah, the acting class

    I gather they were kittens, lions and mice on Saturday. That’s all I know. H.o.p. is having a great time with the class but when I grill him he says it was forever ago and doesn’t remember any more than what he’s told me. The assignment for his next class is to come with his…

  • Blogging Jean Luc Godard’s "Band of Outsiders"

    Gardez vos yeux d’enfant[clear] Blogging Jean Luc Godard’s 1964 “Band of Outsiders”! Here we go. I’ve got a cup of hot coffee, and we’re deep into September. Perfect time of year for this particular Godard flick. A Janus Film. Believe it or not they used to show Janus films like at 11 or midnight way…

  • Silly Wooden Models, by H.o.p.

    OK, now this one…this one is worthy. And it’s funny, at least to me, the end is. Cracks me up every time. H.o.p. had seen these wooden artist models last spring or winter at IKEA and he had to have them. He decided this was what he needed to start practicing stop animation. But then…

  • The Boogie Man Monster, by H.o.p.

    So, H.o.p. shot thousands of pics over the summer for uhm stop animation, and I say “Uhm, stop animation” because it all turned out to be slide shows, really. At spring’s end he had done, for a kid, this major opus of a stop animation. And then suddenly he went Lego crazy and after viewing…

  • Listening to Tuva overtone music

    We had the pleasure of learning a little about Tuvan overtone music (throat music) today. Was showing H.o.p. a little video on different types of music, the what of music place to place, and they focused some on Tuvan throat singers. So we’ve been listening to a few files online and now I’m watching this…

  • Testimony of the Sonderkommando

    This will be perhaps the toughest book I’ve ever read and hope I am ever likely to read. By way of the internet, I came upon Gideon Grief’s “We Wept Without Tears; Testimonies of the Jewish Sonderkommando from Auschwitz”. How I came upon it was first I had read a NY Times story of Dina…

  • oh, the world, y'know, it's just so complex…

    The world’s so damn complex. I’m always rooting around for possible homeschooling resources and today I found a number of education videos up at learner.org, a place I was unfamliar with. Don’t recollect how I happened on them, what exactly I was looking for at the time. So I selected one on history and maps…
