Modern Misfit: January 2013
http://maddie-modernmisfit.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html
Monday, January 21, 2013. 2012 Movies in Review: Something Old. I saw A LOT of movies this last year. (When you work in Hollywood, you tend to do a lot of "research.") I already posted about all of the ones that were released in 2012, but those are only a fraction of what I actually watched (thank you, Netflix! 2006) - * * *. One of my favorite films. Stars Lee Pace and Cantinca Untaru. Visually stunning (and when I say that, I really mean it! Our Vines Have Tender Grapes. 2004) - * *. Directed by St...

Romance of Victory: Bankers are All the Same
http://romanceofvictory.blogspot.com/2012/08/bankers-are-all-same.html
Bankers are All the Same. No one, to my knowledge, has remarked that the modern rhetoric about "capitalists" and "one-percenters" and "monopolists" and "big money" is remarkably similar to Medieval denunciations of the Jews - and for the same reason: people with the money inspire resentment, justified or unjustified. Even if it was after all a bit less destructive (except, you know, in Oakland, where they managed to shut down the port briefly). Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

What makes me smile #82) after it rains, the maple footprints on cement. Wednesday, December 9, 2009.

I miss those days. Freshma...

Fragments: June 2013

For musings and speculation: frequently fragmentary, occasionally expansive. Sunday, June 2, 2013. My father once remarked that it's a miracle that my siblings and I can (and do) write. School essays usually consisted of a random collection of thoughts somewhat related to the topic- I became very good at writing a stream of consciousness. It was creative writing in middle school that taught me about structure, plot, and narrative. I filled notebooks and a shoebox full of floppy disks (remember those?

Fragments: Evening
http://fragmnts.blogspot.com/2013/07/evening.html
For musings and speculation: frequently fragmentary, occasionally expansive. Sunday, July 21, 2013. Hymns for the evening are probably among my favorites. Perhaps because I find evenings a little stressful- there's so much left undone, and I have difficulty with not worrying about all that tomorrow may bring. Evening hymns help place life in perspective. The day thou gavest, Lord, is ended,. The darkness falls at thy behest;. To thee our morning hymns ascended,. Thy praise shall hallow now our rest.
