Tehe Life finds a way. The last photo: bags of dog poo accumulate on the windshield of this car as week(s) go by. The car doesn’t move from this spot despite weekly street cleaning, and even though poo bags accumulate, parking tickets do not. A mystery! I’m just happy to see dog poo conquering a car (it’s not Ziggy’s poo bags, our bags...

Ziggy at 1 year; Ziggy at just over 3 months The 1-year landmark I genuinely believe, like most dog owners, that my dog is the cutest, best, most perfect dog in the world, but the truth is it hasn’t been all sunshine and rainbows living with and raising him. At the hardest moments, I've been reassured by other owners that it gets much ...

Does this movie "make sense"? If you make some leaps of the imagination! But is it an all-you-can-eat buffet of visuals like no other?? Most certainly!! Here's my 8 reasons: 1. good ole creepy vampiric stuff 2. the horny Fragonard girlies For reference: a famous Jean-Honore Fragonard piece called "The Swing" 3. the ✝✝✝ 4. the landscape...

In a May 2002 Martin Amis piece about Elizabeth II, he says early on: “As in all matters royal, we are dealing here not with pros and cons, with arguments and counter-arguments; we are dealing with signs and symbols, with fever and magic. ” Whenever there’s a Royal event/headline, I am generally confused by the Royalist supporters, def...

For years, I've been trying to figure out where some strange imagery in my head originally came from: visions of a red-earthy, doughy, empty world undulating in front of a black backdrop. And I'm delighted to say, it finally came to me! What I was beginning to think was a fever dream was actually from a 1996 videogame called the Neverh...

Living and working out of the same space has indeed left me feeling like I am drowning, tidying only to have to tidy even more, enjoying my space for one whole hour before it falls into disrepair again, rins...

Some highlights from a family trip that had been planned for 2020, but was delayed 3 times. We were finally able to go this past June! castles left to right: Blarney Castle; kissing the Blarney stone (was actually kind of scary, hanging over the edge of the stone with a little grate underneath); the Rock of Cashel (according to legend,...

About 10 years ago, I went to an art exhibit at the Kunsthaus Zürich called “Deftig Barock” (translated as “Riotous Baroque”). The curators placed especially decadent contemporary artists alongside famous baroque pieces to great effect. (Think contemporary artists such as Marilyn Minter, Cindy Sherman, Robert Crumb, Maurizio Cattelan, ...

Helpers “When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, "Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping."” —Mr. Rogers On Tuesday evening, I went to CVTC's Advocate Certification Ceremony (the 25th!). I had spent the day in a daze, reeling from the news about the Supreme Court's...

🌎happy earth day 2022🌏 One way I've been trying to work through climate and eco-anxiety is by getting closer to plants, things that grow, soil, leaves, earthworms, bugs. I've been a city girl my entire life, and have never really had much experience with gardens. But I was lucky in 2020/2021 to be staying in a relatively rural place, w...

Seeing this movie was a long time coming, and I finally had the good fortune to see it on the *big screen* at Film Forum. I was aware of Sun Ra and had seen images from the film before. And, based off of these images/references I had seen before, I thought Space is the Place was mainly known for being a fun, shiny, imaginative, and vis...

There was so much reporting and analysis this week on what's happening in Ukraine. I didn't (and still don't) know the history and geopolitics surrounding the crisis, but turned to Twitter, my favorite firehose of information, to try and begin parsing the conflict through the lens of commentators I trust (or are trusted by those I trus...

This week marks 5 years with this one: 5 years of living laughing loving For Valentine's, we saw The Lady Eve (1941), which was an absolute laugh-a-minute riot.
