The Switch is On, Or The Coming of Autumn

There’s something strange that happens to me once or twice a year.  It’s a perceptible switch of preferences.  The switch usually coincides with the onset and subsiding of summer, starting mid-spring and usually lasting until the Indian Summer hits.  Sometimes, I’m surprised as I skip a cycle.  Instead of a six-month turnaround, the phases last a whole year.

Observation of Time

Two videos: Six Years of Noah

Three Years of Ahree

Is Hasslehoff this generation’s Shatner?

Think about it, folks.  Cheesy, campy, self-agrandising, astonishingly sub-par musical talent, a huge, I mean huge, cult following. Amanda pointed this out to me.  I think it rings true.   I noticed today that a real cool looking building in town here is for sale.  It is the old baptist church building. I think you can [...]

Drive Around!

Thought of you last week Peters. On the first rainy day we’ve had in a months I was out at Stock Building Supply loading up the Performing Arts Center pickup with 4 x 4s and 2 x 12s. By the time I was finished my leather gloves were soaked through. With slimy reactivated glove sweat [...]

“U” is for Unicorn

This has been a favorite of mine for a few months. Somehow the purple unicorn reminds me of Toby.

“F” is for Friday

Human depravity redefined. Be careful clicking on the link. It opens up with sound and video. And it may forever scar-black your soul.

 

Look and Feel

    Okay, I’m going to shake things up a bit.  Now that we’ve hit our one-week anniversary for this project, I am going to swap design templates in and out.  It’s as simple as flipping a switch and I can revert back to this design any time.  Let’s try a new one each day and [...]

Music Thursday

I thought it’d be nice to have something to listen to on the main page, to share an album or something once a week.  So here go my efforts.  If you’d like to share an album with the group, send me a burned copy or the mp3′s.  Hopefully, I can pass some of this knowledge [...]

Baxter the Phat Box

Last Friday our primary commuter car, George the Stanza, succumbed to preexisting illness on our way to work. He is repaired now with a brand new distributor and doing fine but at 160K he’ll never be that spry 84K car that he was when we bought him. So after a grueling weekend of shopping and [...]

I am somewhere that I don’t know where I am. Simpson, H.J.

I must begin as is the ritual now with, “very interesting”.  all the blogs so far are really, truly fascinating.  So difficult to express so much in so few words.  I think the heart of the matter is context.  it is nearly impossible, to dissect our time, analyse it, and make conclusions which really capture [...]

Date Change?

My super will not allow me to be gone on the weekend of October 28.  I may have to work that Saturday. Alternate dates are the weekend of October 21 or November11. What say you?

Time

At long last, here are each of your responses to my questions about how we spend our time… Response from J. E.: Schedule: 5:00 alarm 5:10 out of bed, coffee and cereal 5:25 read, write, whatever 6:00 make sure Liz is up, make eggs and Liz’s tea 6:15 water plants, feed birds, tidy up, collect [...]

Watch out

You might get what you’re after. In light of the recent firestorm regarding “deceptive luxuries” and “discontented idealists” I think it is important to remind all of The Hollow Men that I have only the highest respect and deepest love for each of you and I’m certain these feelings are mutual. I hope that anything [...]
