On a Friday afternoon in February, Grace Potter and the Nocturnals spent time outside of San Diego recording stripped down versions of songs from their new album. “Paris” is the second in a series of them.
My birthday orchid seems very happy in it’s new home. It had bloomed twice in our old place in South Philadelphia where I was happy to keep it alive. It was hard work for some reason.
Now in Old City it is thriving.
I don’t think it is just the light and the water. I really think the energy here is so different. It seems to love Old City and the people that come and go in the gallery. It is joyful.
Post it notes continue to work their way into different parts of our lives. Their not so stickiness encourages us to use them in all kinds of unexpected ways. Their uniformity is another excellent attribute. Even the straight-lined challenged can line post-its up in a grid. Now that we aren’t confined to the Post-it yellow the possibilities are multiplied — by the number of new colors added.
I was working on an ad for the segd conference + expo which will be in Montréal in 2011. It made me think of this wonderful public art. On our visit there a few years back we discovered the lipstick forest. Both Margaret and I wandered through the trees and played a bit of hide and seek. It is brilliant!
It has become a science fiction dream to me. I cannot say I ever thought I would see and feel these temperatures. These temperatures are those of my visits to the desert and hiking the canyons of New Mexico. I imagine the scrub bushes and the dry runoff streams. I taste the red dust on my lips. Then I am jolted back to reality. My sense of place is askew. Our planet is so confused. It’s 104°.
Low tonight 78°, whaaa… This is the current temperature. 94° at 7:45 pm. The low is going to be a chilly 78 degrees. At least in the desert it gets cool at night. An air-conditioned bunker sounds like a good idea. Rain in the forcast doesn’t seem to be poised to give much relief. A good time to hunker down and work or see movies. I’m so confused.
It was an incredibly hot day.The sky was flat, almost white.
We had been waliking and walking, and walking now we were at the top. It was time to look for a glass of wine and a comfortable place in the shade. (This is when I was still shooting film on a regular basis.) I can replay this day so that my memory equals truth.
@WiredFeed get real amazon could give the kindle away and it would work out for them just as well. Amazon is a supply channel. in reply to WiredFeed1 day ago
