Snow Days Revisited Another secret snowfall blanketed the morning. What a year to be a child of school age. They probably had at least a week off school this season. When I went to bed around midnight last night I could still see the grass on my lawn. So all of this new snow must …

Galactic Panic The kittens and I share the same physical and psychological space today. It’s a recovery kind of space. A post-traumatic stress space, where warm teas and milk blend nicely with a mellow dub vibe on the hi-fi. The kittens just arrived back from a two day vacation at the vet where they both …
Super Duper Tuesday At exactly 7PM last night I reported to my precinct DFL caucus to cast my lot with fellow neighbors and drop civic science on them all. Luckily for me, John Edwards had just burped some mention that he was out of the race before most Minnesotans were able to get to their …
Oscar Hangover Man I can’t believe I stayed up and watched the entire Oscar extravaganza last night. Now I’m tired and a bit cranky with myself for spending too many of life’s precious hours with that boring event.

Bukowski in Film Reading the FLM magazine last night I got all kinds of excited about – not one, but two movies about Charles Bukowski that are about to drop. The first will be the documentary, Bukowski: Born into This. From the review it looks like the movie will be a long overdue historical portrait …
Touching the Void The work load was more than I could take yesterday. It’s still daunting but yesterday I couldn’t take any more pixel pushing. It was time for some irresponsible mid-day movie time. I got what I was looking for in ‘Touching the Void’ (IFC Films, The book, Joe Simpson’s website). Hot damn is …
