Interesting feature from The New York Times Magazine: For the 10th consecutive December, the magazine has chosen to look back on the past year through a distinctive prism: ideas.

Hippity Bippity Bop

This will be rather less huffy than the post with which I hoped to get away. Brett McCracken’s book on Hipster Christianity has been talked about, and will no doubt read be read, quite a bit. I haven’t been able too, so I’ll try and be quite clear on what I am responding too, without [...]

The fabric district, found roughly along 9th street between San Julian and Santee Streets in Los Angeles (exit the 10 at San Pedro), easily makes my top ten places to be in LA. Rebecca H. first introduced me to its bolts upon bolts of fabric at wholesale prices I’d only dreamed of. It was the [...]

Some mornings, when I am busy answering questions and listening to stories in the classroom, I wonder why anyone in the entire world would choose a different career. Some evenings, when I get home, after six to seven hours of teaching, an hour of planning meetings, a meeting with unhappy parents … and I still [...]
The Fashion Day from Purgatory

It all started when I left my pants at home. Every morning I work out; often at my gym at work. Arrive at 7:00, workout till 8, shower and sit down at my desk by 8:30. Like clockwork. The problem with clockwork is nothing can go wrong. I can’t set my alarm for PM instead [...]

So, for our Santa Maria BBQ at work, I dressed up. This is me and my miniature Jersey bull, Carney Beauvine — the star of my short film promotional campaign. And this is me as my other persona: (See R’s previous post)

I just bought a black pearl pendant for $0.01 (and $11 shipping), and Becky won her cameo!
Cameos and Poison Rings

Becky placed her first Ebay bid tonight, on a beautiful cameo pendant. I purchased black cameo earrings (from Greece). Then we got distracted by that necessary accessory of the middle ages: the poison ring. Oh yes, we need a ring that takes up most of a phalange to hide its oh-so-secret compartment. When we clicked [...]
