Peter and the Wolf and some short thoughts before bed

Since it was free, I decided to attempt to navigate the Financial District (evil named non-numbered streets!) to see Neil Gaiman (one of my favorite authors ever!) do a reading of Peter and the Wolf, with the Knickerbocker Chamber Orchestra. First event I’d gone to with him there, and I figured I could use a [...]

“I wanna eat Nutella” – AFP/Umbrella

And, before I disappear into real life again, here are two pretty neat videos I found in the last …week? since I’ve posted. A guy does an acoustic cover to Radiohead – Creep (who hasn’t done this yet?), BUT it’s the audio for a pretty neat video piece. Check it out below. Someone programmed these [...]

Teeny obsession filled

I’ve had a few posts about the wonderfully talented AFP already. And I’m already a fan of Neil Gaiman — have been for at least a decade at this point. If you haven’t heard of him, you should check his work out. I loves it. I should probably have a post about him soonish. So, [...]

Nature of the Beast

Natasha Richardson has passed. She was 45. I feel some guilt about posting it so soon after it happened. Literally, the AP reported it a few minutes before 8pm, I posted before 830. It’s an unfortunate thing, an untimely and early death. From something so simple as skiing down a bunny hill. We forget how [...]
