There is Narration, Then there are the Actors
Walking along East Colorado Boulevard at sundown, listening to the tall tales of love behind bloodless-diamond engagement rings, I want to crawl up in their story and call it my own. The impossibility of so doing makes me cry different songs of tears. In this family that familiarity has a rhythm of its own. (Holga […]

Retrospecting
In retrospect, the last week or so has been above average in its interesting quotient. 1. Last Thursday night I caught up with Rachel C. (aka “The Only Living Girl in NYC”) for the first time in 2 years and continued to wonder if she and I should just try to switch lives for a […]

Things I Do Not Like: #0512
Warning: A Little Ranty I do not like that drivers so often underestimate how fast I am going on my bike, and that their assumptions mean sometimes-scary near collisions. It is not that I am a speed-racer, but gravity does cause a road bike to go fast down hills. And sometimes that speed is needed […]

Steams for SunMonday: Trains | Hits
Although I rarely post these streaming things anymore, I always write them in my cranium. I need to get the inner naration down on the page more often.

Things I (Definitely Do Not) Like: #911
I do not like the wildfires in California. I particularly do not like the ones in Santa Barbara, as I have many loved ones there. The Jesusita fire has picked up quite a bit since yesterday. Yucky. Particularly for the Westmont graduates who throw their caps in the air in three days. And even more […]

Things I Like: #12 [clap] 3
[vimeo 4472980] One, I like simple songs with delicate hand-clapping. Two, I like it when two people say “we’re in it for the long haul” and mean it. Three, I like the new trend of stop motion genius that digital photographers and cinematographers are high-fiving to accomplish. Particularly because it is so almost minimalist. These […]

Things I (Usually Do Not) Like: #1225
I usually do not like church signs. At all. But this one, I like. (HT: Holy Satire, Holy Observer)

Things I Like: #180
I like mysteriously beautiful doors. They symbolize so many things. There is a house with a red door on my street that always strikes me. I want to sit in front of it and take endless Holgas of it with slide film and then cross process the colours till they shout. But I think sitting […]

Just a Boy; Most Vivid Dreams within Dreams
The sound of this little song by Angus (and Julia) Stone reminds me of Dane’s voice, as he’s on the other side of the world, living on a farm near the girl he loves. Good man. Unrelated to Dane, it also reminds me that I am not so much a sucker for men who play […]

Brazil, I Would Like to Go To You; Me Discreetly in USA Today
Even if every Brazilian I’ve met makes fun of my Portugal-accent in my horrendous Portuguese, I want to go to Brazil. (Girl in Brazil. By Gustavo Minas.) Also, my Travel Tips in 140 characters were recently published in the USA Today via Twitter. I thought that was cute. I am the @Freshgreenbeans.

A Psalm of Nelly
Today in my 11am class on The Spiritual Disciplines we were given 8 minutes to write a Psalm. We’d been looking at Psalm 100, and I was particularly thinking about the final line of the song’s end: his faithfulness continues to all generations. I wear God’s faithfulness as a coat in the ice-march of an […]
