Wandering through: April 2009
http://lightwandering.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, April 22, 2009. It must be spring. This is a pretty time of year- you can see the signs and colors of spring in little things. A few weeks ago pine tree and I wandered into Boom Babies on Westcott street - normally it has a ton of overpriced clothes (sort of hippy like, some vintage and some stuff from India) but on this day there was a buzz of something frenetic and distinctly eostregen-y about it. Indeed, prom is just around the corner and the store was crammed. The scent was heavenly. The f...

Wandering through: December 2009
http://lightwandering.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Wednesday, December 9, 2009. The tunes, they are changing. 10 years ago we didn't have Itunes, the ipod (or at least not everyone had one), streaming music, downloads of singles. When you wanted to hear a song you had to wait for it to come on the radio or TV or get a friend to burn it for you- now we just google it on youtube and its always. It's incredible when you think about it, isn't it? NPR's All songs considered. The main themes that came out of it were as follows:. Basically the ipod and itunes.

Wandering through: Thanks
http://lightwandering.blogspot.com/2009/11/thanks.html
Wednesday, November 25, 2009. So this is the time of year that all my American (and some Canadian) friends gather around lots of delicious food with family and friends to rest, relax and perhaps give thanks. I've been fortunate enough to be invited to people's houses every year- it's one example of one of the nicest things about America and Americans- their generosity towards (relative) strangers. So this evening, on the eve of thanksgiving, I say to myself- why not? 3 I'm thankful for being reasonably w...

Wandering through: February 2009

Saturday, February 28, 2009. New York Highlight 2: art edition. I'm sitting here in a our fav. bookstore/cafe (yes the one with the. Sandwich) with Bluebelle and we're just catching up on things, grading (or attempting to grade) and reflecting on my presentation yesterday.which is over, and thus good. Bluebelle and I wandered for several hours until we came across the following pieces of art that we immediately categorized into 'WTF art'. A bunch of wool and lint on the floor with mirrors in between?

Wandering through: Reason No. 23652: interfaith baking contest
http://lightwandering.blogspot.com/2008/12/reason-no-2396652-interfaith-baking.html
Wednesday, December 17, 2008. Reason No. 23652: interfaith baking contest. One of the many reasons I think John Mayer is cool is that he has sustained a direct and 'unmanaged' relationship with his fans despite having exploded onto the mainstream. Despite his rapid success etc. there is something genuine and unpackaged about how he comes across. E, his families cakes. And even more fan submissions. Some of which are just stunning in design and concept), his live baking posts. Etc That's cool in itself.

Wandering through: June 2009

Thursday, June 25, 2009. Michael Jackson (1958- 2009). As my roommate Machete and I settle down to listen together tonight to the Michael Jackson greatest hits CD, I think it's only fitting to document my devotion (there's no other word for it really) for the departed king of pop when I was a kid. Thus, here in no particular order are my top MJ related memories. 3 Being blown away with the face morphing end sequence in Black or White and terrified of the werewolf changing scene in thriller. I'll end with...

Thursday, January 22, 2009. But you left me ENCHANTED by this rendition of At Last. The moment, the Obama's dancing so sweetly, the rapturous crowds, the setting, Michelle's pretty gown, your pretty, understated gown. and. With real, true, honest emotion. Not one false note. It really was magical. So thank you Beyonce. I will now try to forget 'single ladies.put a ring on it' and the robot glove (shudder). And for the rest of you who may not have seen it, this is what I'm talking about. Links to this post.

Wandering through: July 2009
http://lightwandering.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Sunday, July 26, 2009. It has been a year since I started blogging and yes, I've recently wondered if this blog would live only one year and then die an inglorious death. But I have some ideas in the pipeline and finally- after having not much inclination (but plenty of time)- its time to slowly sputter back to life. There's lots to report - a new house, a new year, the summer in the 'cuse, new books, movies and happenings to ponder aloud etc. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).
