Update: Film link below no longer works, as the Hanso website is now all ugly and Flash-based. You can follow more of my “LOST” notes in the TV category. Update: The Dharma Initiative Orientation film (SPOILERS!) is now up on the Hanso Foundation website. You’d think they would post a higher quality copy, that being […]
(At right: Sermon notes doodle from church last Sunday.) I’m a big fan of hymnals. Though I was raised on text-only lyrics sheets inserted into missalettes (as a Catholic) and overhead projectors (later as a pop-Baptist), I found my home of worship when I first came to a church with hymnals in the pews. (Berean […]
(The Approach of Autumn uploaded by brownpau.) (Clovers in Afternoon Sun 1 uploaded by brownpau.) I spent the weekend in NJ with Amy and her folks, with a Saturday jaunt to NYC to eat pizza with Stynxno and view an exhibit on “Prague, the Crown of Bohemia” at the Metropolitan Museum. Weather was just this […]
(Death of a Coleus (zoom) uploaded by brownpau.) This potted coleus cutting sat outside my window all through summer, but was blown off the ledge by exceptionally strong winds last week, to fall to the second level roof below. The pot survived intact with soil in it, but the leaves were stripped from the stem. […]
(Bug on my Ceiling uploaded by brownpau.) This spotted green beetle flew into my room and landed on my ceiling several nights ago. I was able to coax it into a jar and let it back out the window, but I sure hope it didn’t lay any eggs on my plants while it was visiting. […]
(Trees.jpg uploaded by brownpau.) It was nice enough out that I could amble home from work today, so I opted for the “scenic route” along the National Mall. I had to stop at one point and just admire how twilight shone through the trees as a warm northwest breeze rustled the canopy. A heavy sense […]
(IMG_3598 uploaded by brownpau.) Amy came over for the weekend. We sniffed botanical aromas, learned about First Ladies, viewed 15th Century woodcuts and Claesz still lifes, dipped our toes in the fountain at the Sculpture Garden, walked around Watergate, and watched a couple of bad movies. My camera was most active at the Botanic Garden, […]
(IMG_3587.jpg uploaded by brownpau.) Pandora lazes in her new favorite spot under the coffee table. I’ve put her catnip mat there so she can enjoy the location.
(The Union Water Tower uploaded by brownpau.) I spent the Labor Day holiday up in New Jersey with Amy, soaking in all that the town of Union, NJ had to offer — which mostly consisted of dollar stores and thrift shops. But there was a very nice little Filipino food market and restaurant, and of […]
(NewYork.jpg uploaded by brownpau.) Went to New York today. Rode the Staten Island Ferry, ate noodles at South Street Seaport, watched kids bounce around on bungies, bought a few art and design books at The Strand, checked out an exhibit at MoBiA, and saw one of those living statues on break, eating a hot dog.
