The storm before the other storm…

(photo by waltzingtree) Racing around before more racing around tomorrow. Need to complete clearing out the studio, and hopefully get the apartment into better shape. These days I always come to the same place in posting. I can see that to proceed would lead me into deep waters, much musing and then I pull back… Continue Reading

Atmosphere ain’t everything….

Moved by online descriptions of their smoked wings, we decided to head back to the Slick Pig on my last day in Tenn.. But it wasn’t to be: sensible businesses take a weekend, which for the pig means they are closed Sunday and Monday. So we decided to try Pope Taylor’s, the other BBQ place… Continue Reading

You can’t spell fungus…

…without fun. Which I have had. Now it’s off to more BBQ, then a couple of hours in Nashville, and then back home. No tags for this post…. Continue Reading

In the outhouse….

Sometimes I just have too many pictures to post. I’ve been getting some good shots this trip, and when I have more leisure I’ll put them up. Saw Casino Royale last night at the local drive-in and ate some intense drive-in vittles. Slept well, wandered over to the Short Mountain Fairie Sanctuary yesterday with Dom…. Continue Reading

In the woods…

Out on a hill in Tennessee. On our first walk of the day we picked a couple of passion fruit from the side of the trail. Slept 14 hours last night to recuperate from the drive. I’m enjoying it all and once again writing in a hurry before we scoot off to the drive-in. No… Continue Reading

From the road…

We left Brooklyn at 2:30pm on Thursday and drove until 3:15am, at which point we pulled into an empty lot and slept in the car until 6am at which point we got up and drove to Memphis Airport, arriving at 11:30am. When I say we, I mean D, who was the only person in the… Continue Reading

Hitting the road…

waltzingtree and I are about to head on out to Tennessee for a few days. I should be back in town on Tuesday. I may not be able to post as frequently. Not so fun part of last night: brief attendance at the video screening of a former student. Very fun part of last night:… Continue Reading

Another dream about finding a new place to work/live last night. Clearly I’m deep down dissatisfied with something. D and I had dinner at Ony Noodle on Sixth Ave. and I was horrified to read the sign on its door, since it spoke of their impending closing. I love eating ramen, and there are very… Continue Reading

(You're) Collared to my shuffle…

Here’s how the meme works: I put my shuffle on random, and pull lyrics from the first twenty songs that come up. You identify those songs. I don’t cheat by skipping songs and you don’t cheat by googling lyrics, ok? (Word of warning – I autofill my shuffle from a playlist called “mostly favorites” meaning… Continue Reading
