The Witches' New Year
by angeliska on November 3, 2009
Our Halloween began at twilight, as the last meager trickle of trickertreaters drifted off, leaving us well stocked with gummi body parts + mini almond joys for life. Or at least a little while, knowing the sweet-tooth of certain fellas (…)
Magic Windows #4
by angeliska on October 9, 2009
Summer’s dwindling has brought the storms: this one was coming for me before I began my journey. I outran it in high-heeled boots, the wind lashing at my leftover locks, head newly half-shorn, walking through the drive-through at the bank. (…)
Languishing in New York
by angeliska on September 16, 2009
(From the collection of Mark Dion and Dana Sherwood) I arrived in the city soundly, despite Mercury’s meddlings (delays, insane turbulence) and headed straight from the airport to the Hungarian House where my beloved Zlatne Uste Balkan Brass Band and (…)
New York Redux circa 2006
by angeliska on September 13, 2009
Oh my. It’s been a while since I was last in New York. I just dug up these pictures from the last time I was there, and I’m flooded by memories of how much fun we had.. Now I’m even (…)

Apologies for the extremely short notice, but if you’re anywhere near New York this week, I must entreat you to hie yourself into the city to check out Foot Patrol! They are one of my local favorite bands, known for (…)
Dog Days
by angeliska on July 30, 2009
We adopted a puppy! Well, she’s six months old- but that still counts, right? I was walking past the Austin Pets Alive adoption station after work the other day, and she caught my eye. She’s super wiggly, and thus really (…)
Lapsang Honey
by angeliska on July 24, 2009
I really only have a teensy snoppet of time just now- but as it happens to be Thursday, (well it was when I started writing this, anyway!) I feel moved to thank my lucky stars for some bits of assorted (…)
