My last two Saturdays involved reciting poetry out loud in some unusual ways. The first episode: a manifesto, a bubble and a monster. Two weeks ago, I participated in the Emerging Territories of Movement event at the Storefront for Art and Architecture. I was one of 15 people asked to deliver a manifesto—my group was… Continue reading A manifesto, a bubble, a monster: poetic episode #1

neb 4.0! happy birthday, dear friend!
When I first heard about Neb, I believed he was the Snuffleupagus. My friends told me about him but he was never in town when I was in San Francisco. I believed him to be invisible. Given the many superpowers Neb holds, it would be a viable possibility. But then he materialized at eTech in… Continue reading neb 4.0! happy birthday, dear friend!

"Prepare for the death of your ego," he… Continue reading Prepare for the death of your ego
So well, I fly back today
It's been a really hard Christmas, a long trip (3 weeks) away from Princeton, long enough for a side visit to San Antonio to visit Enrique's family. I also have found a wedding dress and potential wedding location, a great caterer that I can't use at said location, and a flower shop run by two… Continue reading So well, I fly back today
Skeeter, 1994-2007
Skeeter, 1994-2007 My mom got Skeeter around the time I finished college in November 1994. He was a Petit Basset Griffon Vendeen, a PBGV for short. The best part of coming home to visit my family was the cacophonous din he made when I walked in the door, like an avant-garde cello concerto. Tail wagging,… Continue reading Skeeter, 1994-2007
Pike Bubbles: listen to this!
02 Pike Bubbles The Cardigans It struck me that you need to hear this song by the Cardigans. It's the b-side for the "Rise and Shine" single — I got this in 1996 or so. It might just be my favorite song. You should listen to it. Biloobidiboom. Read and post comments | Send to… Continue reading Pike Bubbles: listen to this!
QotD: My First Single
Music-wise, what was the first 45, single or download you bought? Submitted by Paddy Melt Wagon. I took the bus to the Midway neighborhood of St. Paul, to Montgomery Ward's record department. I was 8 — a second grader — and I bought Blondie's "Rapture." (To be honest, I think that my friend's mom must… Continue reading QotD: My First Single
