I’m a Magpie
Hello! I’m afraid I’ve been neglecting things over here, along with everything else that’s not a paper on database systems or intellectual freedom. But the semester’s almost done, which makes this a great time to explore the hotses and notses of the week a la Loobylu.
Hot!

Why, hello there, Wednesday. Where on earth did you come from?
Here’s what’s hot and not this week. Inspired, once again, by Loobylu.
Hot:
1. Brian! He’s redesigned his website a bit, he’s featured on the Linney Group’s design blog today, and I just found out that the opening for his show at our neighborhood coffeeplatz coincides with [...]
Yesterday, Brian and I cohosted, along with our friend Erik Noonan, the first of what we hope will be many outdoor pairings of poetry and visual art.
As most of you know, my Brian, in addition to being as smart and as sweet as the day is long, is also a talented sculptor. And now he’s a blogger, too. You should go check it out.
Next Saturday, May 16th, we’ll be hosting a reading in the garden behind Brian’s studio at 2221 15th St in San Francisco. Come hear readings by Sara Larsen and Jason Morris, visit with Brian’s art , and have some snacks (will I make gougeres? I just might!).
“Through the years, I have learned there is no harm in charging oneself up with delusions between moments of valid inspiration.”
Steve Martin, from “Born Standing Up”
In San Francisco? Come see the art!
2221 15th St., side door, 11-6 Saturday and Sunday. Hope to see you there.
I'm a freelance writer and perpetual graduate student living in San Francisco. Special skills include dog charming, brochure writing, slapdash cooking and long-winded nattering. I also enjoy watching the sunset reflected in the tall buildings downtown.
For a while there, I taught classes on Classical literature, philosophy, and the history of religion at New College of California. I have an MA and an MFA in Writing, and started library school in the fall of 2009.
