art
there is a really awesome anish kapoor piece at the met, As Yet Untitled (2007), which is made entirely of stainless steel. It's quite clever: it is a concave mirror that is not smooth but, rather, is composed of interlocked hexagonal mirror tiles. The effects are therefore fascinating. If you remember your high school physics (and I barely did), ( Read more... ) -

My grandmother (paternal) passed away during the previous night. We were kept up to date. I've been waiting on this day ever since my maternal grandmother passed away 2 years ago, since she was younger. Now we have no grandparents (never saw my grandfathers, as they died before I was born). The thing of it is, though, that the annoying neighbors ( Read more... ) -

end of en era
I finished Daria last night (having seen all 5 seasons and three short films over the past few months), and I will really miss the show. I was more nostalgic at Daria's graduation than my own. Why didn't I know of this show back in high school??

an appropriate allusion
"If you were to give me forty such men, I never could be so
happy as you. Till I have your disposition, your goodness,
I never can have your happiness. No, no, let me shift for
myself; and, perhaps, if I have very good luck, I may meet

wide sargasso sea
As much as I hated Jane Eyre is how much I love Jean Rhys' 1960s post-colonialist response to it, Wide Sargasso Sea. It took me five months to finish Jane Eyre, it was that awful. I realized that when I read a first-person narrator novel, if I cannot stand the narrator-protagonist then I hate the novel. And I detest Jane Eyre, the person; she ( Read more... ) -

SFU/Nirvana/Duke
I am almost near the end of Six Feet Under. I am very proud of myself. There was one scene in Ep. 5 X 10 that I really liked - it happened during a funeral (don't watch if you don't want to be spoiled): Rumi + Nirvana = love. And nice explanation for Claire's pot smoking and her relationship with Nate, there. Well, done, show.
