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 (…)
Laudanum Honey
by angeliska on September 9, 2009
This past weekend, we made a quick jaunt to San Antonio to see Elegant Enigmas: The Art of Edward Gorey at the McNay Museum. It was truly everything I could have wished for and more- completely worth the trip. I (…)
Octopus Honey
by angeliska on August 27, 2009
That and this on a rainy (!) night. The storm thrumbles and booms overhead, the little dogs shiver and quake- and me clickety-clack before a little late-night leftover scallops + gorgonzola grits from The Blue Dahlia, muy delicioso! Looking at (…)
Coconut Honey
by angeliska on July 30, 2009
Is it really Thursday again, already? Whew! Crazy-times. (Oops, it’s Friday now! Hah.) So hard not to be a totally nocturnal marsupial these days! ♡ The other night I had insomnia and stayed up way too late reading Lil Wayne (…)
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 (…)
Strawberry Honey
by angeliska on June 28, 2009
I remember a few years ago, in New Orleans, I bought a carton of strawberries at the Farmer’s Market. I had become somewhat ambivalent about them over the years, having eaten far too many over-inflated, pale and watery mutants with (…)
Blueberry Honey
by angeliska on May 17, 2009
Good things: I received a surprise parcel this week from my long-lost friend Herr von der Goltz- it contained a disc- Music of the Tatar People and a book from 1903, German Wit and Humor. I love the nouveau cover! (…)
Krewe of Eris – The Feast of the Appetites!
by angeliska on May 4, 2009
I look forward to the Krewe of Eris parade every year- it usually happens on the weekend before Mardi Gras, and this year (it occurred back in February, mind) it was quite chilly indeed. Luckily we were all able to (…)
