[From last night at the Central library] The Art-walk took us all around town. My personal favorite was the trip to the Pasadena Conservatory where I learned how to do “body percussion.” Clapping, snapping, and hitting various flabby to muscular body parts creates different rhythmic melodies! Improvisational music retains many kind metaphors to the rhythm […]

Salsa in the Reference Section
Old books make me high. Tonight there’s this crazy four-hour art tour that starts at the Pasadena Central Library, and goes all around old-town. This is the same library that took my breath away as I first approached its welcoming old European fountain a few days ago. The children’s corridor is large and magnificent enough […]

Rock the Vote
In my sad failure to update my blog this week, I hereby offer you this small opportunity to intercept my life decisions. I need a part-time job while I’m taking classes, and while I’m continuing to raise support. All of the following are actual, real, and no-nonsense options I’ve unearthed. No animals were harmed during […]

Ride Bike, Get Happy
I think that everyone should ditch their cars and ride bikes. We’d all be a happier bunch. And the Earth would be, too. I am having such a nice time riding from Altadena to Pasadena on the bike. I’ve been trekking up and down the hill for the last three days and feel like the […]

The First Days
I flew into Burbank on Monday and found the lovely Kleins waiting to hug me. Going from airport to airport, I arrived just in time to find a seat in Dr. Kraft’s (somewhat infamous) class at Fuller. (And I’ve got the picture to prove it.) Smiling with me is Amy G. She’s been in my […]

Am I A Falcon, A Storm?
Two bags packed, one to go. Last night I had three teenage girls in my living room to help me “sort my clothes.” To allow a sixteen-year old the right to advise you on what you ought pack in your suitcase is both enlightening and frightening. To have three of them is to invite a […]

I Like Big Books
This is ridiculous. I mean, really funny. The “I’ll greet her with some holy kissin” part kills me. And the flirting over the flannel boards. In my high school days, I think I shamelessly knew the Sir-Mix-a-Lot original word for word. I am happy to report that:1. I have a cast-iron stomach and can handle […]

No More Whiny Pants
I am moving to California in four days, and I feel like I’m growing up. Two days ago, an eight year old asked me, “Do you think there is still gold on the ground in California?” I smiled out, “I sure hope so!” For me, like history’s many, going West carries the hopes of a […]

Post Script: EKGs and Pterodactyls
Upon further review, I now realize that it was a naive oversight to use the idea of hearts palpitating and prophylactics in the same blog-title. I hope that the tiny corner of blogdom that walks across this “Hello” mat did not find me crude or racy. It was wholly unintended. (Cheers, Brian, for being the […]

Streams for Sunday :: Gratitude, Run.
This is a healthy practice. I will try to make a tradition out of it. Maybe you should, too.
