Written in my soul
What I'm listening to, or should I say, "That to which I'm listening"?
It's this: Blood On The Tracks, one of my favorite albums, possibly my favorite Dylan album, possibly, arguably. In any event, it has some of my favorite songs of any artist of any genre. Two songs on this album have particular weight for me as, not only are the words cohesive ( Read more... ) -
Tony Curtis, RIP
Heard a brief segment on the radio this morning on the passing of Tony Curtis. One brief quote in an audio clip caught my attention as it sounded so genuine, all the more startling given the puerile, whining political name-calling and finger-pointing - bordering on hate-speech - of recent years:
"Service to others is the rent we pay for our time on ( Read more... ) -
Where's the rag man?
In going through my simplifying downsizing I find I have one large trash bag full of rags. These aren't just well-worn clothes that someone else might wear, they are worn out. I have a bag full, the size bag some people put leaves in. It's a big bag o'rags ( Read more... ) -
If you are a sky watcher
In case I missed you in my emailing just now - that bright dot in the eastern sky is Jupiter, right now it's close to what looks to be a full moon. Quiter a sight. -
Google phone
When I first saw the entry on Google phone I thought, that has possibilites, so I went through the process, jumped through some hoops, to get a number and set it up, got to the last step where I was given a link to download the plugin needed, clicked on the link, only to get the message that "Google Phone does not support PowerPC Macs ( Read more... ) -
Courtesy in the i-world
I posted a comment on the blog of a pretty well-known person in the tiny house blogosphere. Not only did he email me with a response, but he even visited my own little wordpress effort and made a considered, thoughtful comment. Nice to see that courtesy isn't completely dead after all. -
The Expendables
I'll be brief: I was pleasantly surprised. I haven't seen a purely testoserone-driven movie in a long time. I think only Stallone could have pulled off having so many well-know personalities in a film without it getting distracting. The fight scenes alone are worth the price of admission. Jason Statham, Jet Li, even Dolph Lundgren manages to seem ( Read more... ) -
"I love the rain, it washes memories off the sidewalk of life."*
Today, I was almost washed off the sidewalk of life. At least it felt like that at times. I've been caught in the rain, even in heavy storms, but not where the rain was so heavy and so driven by the wind that I couldn't see clearly.
I didn't run yesterday so decided I wanted to be out a good while today, maybe an hour and a half or so. I was ( Read more... ) -
Movies lately, am I right?
I saw Inception and would have enjoyed it more if it didn't come so close on the heels of Shutter Island which had a similar subtext and the same actore, Leo De Foldedoll. I thought Shutter Island was better.
Went to see Predators a few days ago. It was really hot outside and something happens to people, especially me, when it gets really hot ( Read more... )
