Ned is Right…

 
…this new Devotchka album is fantastic, amongst many of Ned’s rightnesses.  Here’s three tracks I enjoyed in the time I’ve had to listen.
01 Devotchka | The Clockwise Witness02 Devotchka | Transliterator03 Devotchka | New World
On with the Ned theme.  Here’s another artist I heard this week and it totally sounded like an artist Ned [...]

Asps. Very Dangerous. You Go First.

 
You guys might have heard, the first Indiana Jones movie in 19 years is coming out this Memorial Day weekend.  So, Steph and I have devised an equation.
Memorial Day + Kansas City + HM and their wives + Indiana Jones + (optional beer & pipes) = a Memorable Weekend
Are you in or are you out?  [...]

Crickets

I have to say, it has been about as quiet as it has ever been on the HM site. J.E. and I seem to be keeping some nominal chatter, but I haven’t seen Toby or Peters here for quite a while. That seems surprising considering all that has been going on the last few weeks: [...]

New Painting

I have a new painting up on my website under “For Walls” called Reclamation about the connection of science to art through curiosity and play. I suppose it is also about scale and the imagination. Check it out www.nedgannon.com

Fasting Again

I will be fasting for thirty hours again to raise money for hunger relief next weekend. If you want to contribute to this cause you can send a check made out to World Vision to my home address. Any gesture is appreciated and will be put to good use.

Atonement (The movie)

Sara and I managed to get out for a brief evening for my birthday (my Jesus year is over). We had a nice dinner and went to see Atonement.
Things I liked about the film:
1) It is really quite subtle and actually relies entirely at certain points on the actors ability to communicate simply through [...]

Clinton? Obama? Someone Else?

I’ll just let the title to this post say, and ask, it all. 

You Can Hear a Pin Drop on This Blog

Well, maybe not, but it has been pretty quiet.
It was good to see Peters, and Toby, Steph, and Clara (at least for a few minutes) as well as speak with Shotts (as well as J.E. for a few minutes). I’d like to post a bunch of stuff, but I am afraid I don’t have [...]

Let Me Know What You Think

This isn’t quite finished (the opener still needs some re-visions), but the basic format of the site is set, and the images are in place. So let me know what you think. Thanks.

I’m Thankful

I’m at home now prepping sweet potatoes and mustard greens (not together) for our Thanksgiving in Temple (an hour north of Austin). This wiil be perhaps a less joyous occasion than it has been in years past as Liz’s uncle Glen just passed away on Tuesday of heart failure. Nonetheless we will be [...]

Thanks to Graywolf

If you have not read Out Stealing Horses I strongly urge you to pick it up. You have already purchased it right?
I have always enjoyed Scandinavian literature. Many Scandinavian authors share a preoccupation with the formation of the self in the early years of life — a preoccupation we Hollow Men seem to [...]

Lost

Is anyone still watching LOST? Toby, Peters?
I have still only watched seasons one and two, but season three is soon out on DVD. Is it worth putting on my Netflix queue, or has the whole series jumped the shark by now? I haven’t heard much talk about the show lately, so I’m getting the [...]
