Mixed Bag

This week, assuming it started on the weekend, has been a very varied roller coaster. There has been a decent mix of good and bad going on and up until today the good outweighed the bad. Friday : I finished my first full week at my new job somewhere between two and three. I could probably have...

Hugh Graham and the moral equivalent of consumerism

ouds and grass-roots in abu dhabi.

Sana Munasifi touches on a great point in her recent review of the Fifth Annual Abu Dhabi Music and Arts Festival. She highlights the recently opened Abu Dhabi branch of the Arabian Oud House as an example of the type of grass-roots, ground-up, regionally relevant and contextual initiative (=...

QotD: Fictional Friend

What fictional character do you relate to most and why? Francie Nolan. I don't know why I still feel that way as my life is certainly decidedly different that what this girl in turn of the 20th century America experienced. I guess it is because I read this book when I was in junior high, and...

American Idol - results - down to 3

Well, there's not much to say about last nights results show. I loved seeing Maroon 5 and Bo (love, love, love that guy). I got the go-homer correct but I'm definitely not jumping for joy. I am content and assured that America got it right. Jason will be fine and I wouldn't at all be surprised to...

Going back to my roots

As this is my first blog post, I thought I would kick-start it with some great news. The last 24 hours have been quite surreal and I never thought my life would pan out like this. Coming home from work last night I pondered the issue of my parents deserting me for a few weeks as they travel to the...

American Idol - Top 4 perform

Well I was basically underwhelmed by the performances tonight. I figured with them having the huge catalogue of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame that everybody would dig deep and blow us away. Well, they didn't. David Cook - He's my guy but, although he was good on both of his songs I was slightly...

[For 24 Hours] Shreveport is Cultural Center of the Universe [?]

I bitch, and I moan about this place (Is Target really cool? Is that rebel flag supposed to be ironic? What is a TGI Friday's and why do they serve something called a Sicilian Parmesan Crusted Quesadilla? Gator tastes best if you do what to it?), and then, when you least expect it, it turns on you...

Let them cook their own cupcakes!

The movie marathon continued today and we finished with License to Wed with Robin Williams/Mandy More. Laughter, happy ending so it met the criteria. I did notice though that her career was being a florist. Of course it was her own business, modern woman that she was, but she was a florist. In some...

プリクラ

For the Spring Festival this year, I am going to be (if I can figure out some logistics) running a makeshift puri kurabooth using my digital camera and photoshop. I've never done puri kura before in a real booth, but after having fun playing around with this stuff with my friends I want to. Have any...
