Magic Windows #9
by angeliska on January 26, 2010
Magic Windows are portals into the strange and beautiful world I inhabit, and the marvelous people, places and things come across in my day to day – all captured with the aid of my handy magic celephone (it’s an iPhone). (…)
R.I.P. Noah + Colby
by angeliska on September 29, 2009
The season turns, and I return home to find the scarlet hurricane lilies abloom and two friends dead in New Orleans. I don’t even know if they were acquainted, but they both died in the same week, probably within blocks (…)
Hurricane Katrina: Four Years Later
by angeliska on August 29, 2009
A hard day, full of painful remembrances and revelations. I wake in a panic, the dogs are barking wildly and I twist my shoulder in my haste to rise, my body not as awake as my mind. Head pounding, worried (…)
Foxes in the Rain
by angeliska on August 9, 2009
Today something magical happened: it rained while the sun was shining. I know perhaps it’s not so very rare, but when it does occur and the opportunity for dancing around madly in it present itself- well, it really is pure (…)
Corazones quebrados y perros ciegos
by angeliska on May 10, 2009
Oh my stars, what a week it’s been- and if only it were just the stars and other mischievous celestial bodies to blame for all this sadness and trouble. Certainly, though they’ve played their part- that hazy yellow pearl of (…)
Disko Dancing!
by angeliska on February 4, 2009

Salomé + Yma Sumac
by angeliska on November 7, 2008
I was Salomé for Halloween this year, as in Dance of the Seven Veils, daughter of Herodias, and all that. I suppose I oughtn’t have been surprised at how many people I met had no idea who Salomé was.. All (…)
Día de los Muertos – R.I.P. Studs Terkel
by angeliska on November 2, 2008
I was saddened to hear that Studs Terkel died on Halloween. He was an amazing man, whom I had the honor of meeting a couple of years ago. We went to visit him at his house in Chicago on Thanksgiving (…)
Triumvirate Lemniscate
by angeliska on August 9, 2008
Dog-days, my friends- where the storms tease us, unfurling bruised capes behind them as they hurry off to other counties- snubbing our parched and pathetic orchards. Drought didn’t mean nothing to me before I grew what I ate. We need (…)
Summerfluff
by angeliska on July 2, 2008
About a week ago, I set out on an adventure.. I intended it to be only a minor one- Black Sabbath Brunch at Dominique’s house and then a little junking at the Citywide Garage Sale.. I was a wee bit (…)
