Constellation-160

There are a few snippets of lyrics I'll search for, every now and then. Just to see if someone has written something online since the last time I checked (and probably came up empty). The search string this time -- a long one -- was, "wouldn't ...

Art deco, plovidv, bulgaria

Doc Searls went and pointed to a very interesting page of photos of Plovidv, Bulgaria, taken by Stephen Lewis. Apparently the town is a time capsule of (among other styles) Jugendstil and Art Deco buildings. This was not much of a surprise, as w...

Whitehousenight

So, here's a remarkable thing. On the left there, you can see White House at Night (June 1890), by Vincent Willem van Gogh. Not one of his most famous paintings, but nice in its way. While poking about the Wikipedia entry for Van Gogh, I learn...

K-maro - Sous L'Oeil De L'Ange (192)

This is "Sous L'Oeil De L'Ange," by K-maro. It's somewhat like Gypsy Kings meets hip-hop, in French. I first heard it on SR Sverige... Which I'll explain more about later. It was a channel on Swedish Radio. Just wanted to take advantage of a s...

Ex Libris: Confessions of a Common Reader

"staarcroft" What the heck is that? Why use that for a journal title? Well, I admire Anne Fadiman. A lot. And that book over there -- Ex Libris -- is one of the few she's brought out so far. There's an essay in the book, "Words On a Flyleaf...

Looper - Impossible Things 2

A first post. Haven't done one of those for a while. This is for Maggy. Because I know she likes stories, and this is a very good one. I'm not sure where I found out about Fabulist, but one of the first times I was there I ran across this post...
