I’m being a little optimistic here, in that I’m hoping that the presence of these two trucks parked two blocks away from my house for the past few days means that my neighborhood is getting prepped for Verizon’s Fios service. It’s no secret that I feel confined by the speed of my current DSL line,… Continue Reading

Time to Punch the Sky God!
Or Goddess. When I left the house this morning all of the steps of my stoop were slicked with ice, covered by a thin layer of freezing water which was pelting from the sky in huge drops. I made it down the first step only to start to skid on the next two. Luckily I… Continue Reading
The also-rans…
As you can see below this post is tagged with the phrase “daily photo”. Which means that it’s part of my practice of taking pictures every day. What is not readily apparent is that while there is at least one pictuer a day, because of the format restrictions I’ve come up with for this blog… Continue Reading
Letting it go…
Two new drawings this evening. When you have no chores left, you have to make art. And yesterday was , as you might have guessed, about cleaning. Now it’s down to sorting through papers, notably correspondence, piles of personal and business letters that date back to the seventies, half finished collages, fragments of writing. It’s… Continue Reading
A time for venting…
The quickest route to fury or despair is to look at what people post in forums on line. I’m a fool to do it. But I have been sucked into the reading a lot of the reactions to last night’s Lost finale, which, I will admit was the background noise to my ongoing paper shuffling… Continue Reading

A glimpse of my stroll west last night. It was way way cold, and when I returned home I didn’t want to do anything but finish up my viewing of the Prisoner and my reading of A Book of One’s Own. I’m toying with the idea of trying to read at least a book a… Continue Reading
Ain’t gonna do The Mouse no more (was: Big Link Friday)
The first time I ever desperately wanted to see someone get hit in the face with a pie, it was this man. Soupy Sales had a TV show on New York’s channel 5 four a few years when I was a kid, and he could take a pie like nobody else. Somewhere betwen Mr Rodgers… Continue Reading
Internet killed the video star…
Did I mention that there’s a TV in my apartment? There it is, right where I like it, at the foot of my bed. Same spot as back at home. When I got here, all the electrical devices were unplugged (except for one clock radio that was oddly set to go off in the middle… Continue Reading
Yeah it was still pretty hot…
…even if they cut away from the money shot. I’ve written about stuff like this two years ago, but once again I was somewhat teased with a hot scenario on the idiot box the other night: Stephen Colbert is broadcasting from Iraq this week, and one of the running gags is that he is enlisted… Continue Reading
