I once stepped into an old, abandoned house. It was a southern style house in rural Tennessee. This house had sweeping staircases, 12-foot-high windows and even higher squinches and ceilings. My entrance to the old house was almost magical, like something from a children’s novel. The door through which I entered was in a well-lit [...]

I feel like I shared these pictures already, but maybe not. Hours ago I remembered this night (July, 2009) when a bus ride home from the Bethel Arts Center (site of the original Woodstock and a handful of yuppie wanna-becreations) lingered disasterously long into the morning. I attempted to make some productive use of the [...]

I did not find what I was looking for at Calvary today. I rarely do. Today, though, I had a mission of sorts, and I failed, though it was all for fun and fun for all, and a beautiful day for a boneyard. I will sort out that mission sooner or later, but in today’s [...]

I am up late, remembering how exciting this frozen-cold overnight realm used to be. For years I stayed up until sunrise, working on web things and loving the seclusion, but eventually getting tired of the lack of daylight, the solitude, and the constant chasing-of-day. I just spotted this cartoon from my old magazines project and thought [...]

Gnarly weather, gnarly life, has me thinking about yesterday, though nothing happened yesterday. Nothing, that is, save for diurnal necessities and pedantry of discursion. At least today’s ugly weather was accurately forecast. I woke to a mostly warm apartment but the bathroom window was wide open, allowing waves of cold to blast through, the spittle-like [...]

Tonight I scanned the November, 1916, issue of The Etude Magazine and therein spotted this Cream of Wheat ad painted by Leslie Wallace. I am tired and crotchety and experiencing an ancillary WHOOSH moment. Possibly on account of the incongruities bludgeoning my head muscles I thought it made sense to share: I shall now loll [...]

Today turned into a sleep-deprived OCD thrashfest of content and desperation. I spent most of the day combing the July, 1920, issue of The Etude music magazine looking for neat stuff like Mary Gardner’s interview and this exploration of the vanity of nervousness among artists. I also annotated some of the coolio Matchbook Covers with [...]

Last night I printed some screen grabs from the movie “Midnight Cowboy” when I accidentally put the paper upside down into the printer, thus printing on the non-glossy side of the photo printing paper. I put the pictures aside and a few minutes later I accidentally pressed my thumb onto one of them. The ink [...]

Today is 10/20, and at 12:00 noon I feel a bell ring in my head, that bell which tolled on the hour and on the minute I left Tampa for New York on Amtrak train #88, which went first to Philadelphia before NYC. 10/20 is a milestone for none but myself, but I remember that [...]
