Been working at reordering the site, and tidying the house. Regrettably my desktop computer is hiccuping like a vaudeville comedian, and I can’t quite diagnose the problem. It’s about five years old, which I know is ancient computer-wise, but I wasn’t really looking to replace it this year. Now, however, I start to think about… Continue Reading

Playtime…
There was poker at O and S’s place last night, a table with many players and higher stakes from which I extracted myself with fairly minor bruises. I won a couple of hands and early on and didn’t slide too far in the the latter rounds. There was good food, good companionship and the shocking… Continue Reading
Just now at 42nd and 6th…
Here’s what the sign says: “Crowd/Atmosphere Notice This area is being used for filming the motion picture tentatively entitled “The Smurfs Movie”. If you enter this area it is possible you will appear recognizably in the film. Therefore it is understood and agreed that all persons entering the area thereby grant permission to Columbia Pictures… Continue Reading
Another post about how I’m stressed…
Well, I just am. Going to try to squeeze in some sleep before heading to Tennessee tomorrow for some teaching. The next couple of months are looking packed as well. Have to figure out as better strategy for dealing. Why do you need to know all this? That’s another question I’ve been asking myself with… Continue Reading
Keep coming back to it…
I don’t know why. It’s not even that good a picture. But out of the dozen or so I shot yesterday, I keep coming back to this one of Thor about to leave the theater after he and Mudcub and I saw The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, Terry Gilliam’s latest self portrait. There’s something very… Continue Reading
Flashing some Fur, and Big Link Friday….
ig link Friday is my sorry attempt at #followfriday as well as a fulfillment of my promise to make this blog more of a resource. Also I’m impressed with the way that people like Thor make their ljs about so much more than the repeated tracks of their obsessions. So here’s some of the stuff… Continue Reading
They cleaned my clock…
Despite wining a few hands, I got my ass handed to me today at the poker table. We don’t play high stakes but I ended the day down thirteen bucks on a table with a ten dollar buy-in. Of course the real point is companionship and being around hot folks smoking cigars, so it was… Continue Reading
Who said what now?
This morning I woke to the fragment of a dream about an interview with Patti Smith, who was about to play “People Have the Power.” My head has been buzzing with website ideas: more so content than formatting. I can tell that I still think about the stuff as a species of print publication more… Continue Reading
Life imitates art…
Draw what you know they say. Well it’s write what you know actually. But maybe that works for drawing too. Today was a funny one, many interesting conversations and thinking about issues, issues, issues. And then there was that lovely mango with lemon juice and chili. And then I went to see Taxidermia which had… Continue Reading
Exploitation…
It’s been at least thirty-five years since I’ve found myself in this situation, but last night I ended up sweating it out while an authority figure looked over my fake ID. Because of various complications in online ticket give-aways, I was masquerading as a friend in order to get into an advance screening of District… Continue Reading
