What do you think of this theme as compared to the previous one (which you can still see here.) This current one is much more complex and I am not sure I can tweak it as easily, but then again, I may have to learn some new things in order to customize it, which wouldn’t be a bad thing.
Let me know what you think of the look. Thanks!
After too much time and energy and cursing and realizing that I need to learn html.
Please stand by.
After upgrading to the latest WP version, I had some problems with my theme. This is a temporary one until I can figure out what’s up.
David Carr has a good article in week’s NY Times about Ann Coulter. Tony Norman’s essay “If Ann Coulter’s a Christian, Then I’ll Be Damned” is also quite good. I don’t know anyone who actually likes her (the perils of an extremely limited social group: you think the whole world thinks like you), or thinks …
If you happen upon this blog and these thoughts, I would like to invite you over to Living the Liminal – The Website. There you will find a number of my creative projects as well as other baubles that have been uploaded strictly for your pleasure.
Critique is always welcome but sheer, unadulterated amazement at my prodigious talents gets you a gold star.

Thanks to Sandro for posting the link to this great video – you have to check it out!
Recently I watched Cowards Bend the Knee, a film by Guy Maddin. I have seen a number of his movies, including The Saddest Music in the World (possibly his best known and most accesible film), Dracula: Pages from a Virgin’s Diary, Twilight of the Ice Nymphs, and Archangel. If you’ve never heard of Maddin’s work, …
Ok, so, I was all set to sit back, lights out, and enjoy the big-ass thunderstorm. Great lightening, very close, loud rumbles, dark skies the whole bit.

And I was all set to write an entry about how, despite the fact that I’m not digging living in an urban setting quite as much as I once did, that there is something really special about storms in cities. Its the irruption of nature into the plans of humanity or something like that. And while all that is still true…
Ohmigod will they shut up with the horns!!!
I’m not yet sure how I really feel about this movie. I want to like it more than I do considering the cast and the cinematography. Certainly it has some very chilling moments and I understand that it is a “horror” film more in the vein of Polanski or Hitchcock, but there just seems something …
