A stormy morning here in Providence. I was awakened by thunder. Down in Narragansett, there was some considerable flooding, I've heard.

Not much in the way of work. I needed a day, I think, to fully comes to terms with the fact of my decision to bow out of The Dinosaurs of Mars. Of course, a day likely was not enough time, but it's all I could ( Read more... )

Those pictures are really great, a fantastic work of art even before reading about the history around it.

Love the photos. Did you really like Season 2 of Hemlock? I loved the first season, but mostly because of the development of the relationship between Peter and Roman. The second season had me until the very last episode; it lost me with the enormous deux ex machina moment ("Why does your gun have a silencer?") followed by so many what-the-fuck moments that my head was spinning. Oh well...we can't agree on everything.

I did, better than Season One, actually. I thought it was a superior production. But then I've never been bothered by so-called "deux ex machina" plot elements (and I'm often accused of them).

It was. It truly was. If only he'd had the name Angell in there somewhere.

Speaking as someone who has worked there (very part-time), the current state of the Haffenreffer makes me sad, although the Jenks Museum is much sadder. The HMA had a rather larger and more beautiful bayside location in Bristol, but now the only exhibit space is that building, originally meant, if I remember right, to be merely an on-campus satellite exhibit space. At one point back in the 90s, it was going to move from Bristol to the Old Stone Bank on North Main, but that fell through.

Sigh. That would have been wonderful.

Providence has shown itself to be a city with no interest in Natural History museums.

Yes, that looks like the perfect office for you.

Indeed.
