Imagine, if you will, the mischievous smirk I witnessed on the face of a young woman this evening as she watched her significant other attempt to parallel park on 10th Street in Santa Monica. She was quite amused by his ineptitude. I laughed (and smirked myself) at her good humor. He was not a…
Cloud Neon
My mother, predictably, seems to like the pictures I take with my iPhone. Apparently I set up her picasaweb / google email address to notify her when I upload new pictures automatically. So, now, every time I upload a new one, I get an email from her talking about them. I can\’t even remember what…
Andrew Bird
I attended the Andrew Bird show on Wednesday evening. It was a really great time. Their opener was a band called Lonely, Dear who was also awesome. I\’m not quite sure how to describe the opener. They are from Sweden and used strange noises in harmony to great effect. I couldn\’t tell much about the…
Some Musicology?
I attended Opera at the Grand. The Grand, by the way, is a super-cool theatre. It’s obviously from the 30s and very art-deco, despite the fact that it is relatively small. It comes from a time when people cared about the appearance of such things beyond is it “clean” and is it “functional.” I still…
I\’ll be safe
I decided to remove the last post. I\’m happy with it, but I think it is probably best left unsaid.
Kierkegaard, Tipping Points & Ronald Reagan
Well, I\’m still reading Soren Kierkegaard: A Biography. It’s a beast to get through. Large chapters dedicated to each year of Kierkegaard’s life. It’s some dense reading, but I’m loving it. I\’ve been learning things things about Soren\’s father, brother & fiancé (subsequently his ex-fiance). It is also interesting that the author notes that Kierkegaard…
Wow, just… wow.
Ok, I\’ve been busy. I have had three nights in the past two weeks past midnight. So, needless to say, I haven\’t been posting. In other news, I think I\’ve decided on a Halloween costume. I hope its a big hit.
Weezer – The how and why?
Weezer. A band that for many people of approximately 25-31 conjures up images of middle school to high school listening to \”Say it Ain\’t So\” while riding in a car to some destination of young fantastical (only in our minds) whimsy. Similarly, the name Weezer conjures images of the greatness of the infamous second album,…
What\’s Wrong With You?
I was watching the Darjeeling Limited today and realized that it contains a line I always liked. The Darjeeling Limited is, of course, a train, that is at least partially representative of the path of the characters\’ lives. The opening scene is of, presumably the main characters\’ father, missing a train. As you find out…
I want to post something… but I can\’t.
