Hodge Podge
Here's what I ordered from Three Stone Hearth this
week:
Chicken in rose petal sauce
Blushing carrot soup
Coconut rice with fresh coconut shavings
Creamed greens
Braveheart beef patties
Chocolate smooches
Chicken broth
Cultured- beet kvass tonic
Coconut oil
Yum. So tasty and fun and EASY.
What else? The night before last I caught part of a
KQED television show that I'd never seen
before called "Spark," which also has a website. I
liked it! The episode I saw featured the
photography of an Oakland artist named Todd
Hido (I especially liked his "Homes at Night"
and "Landscapes" series, and the equally
intriguing "Mundane Journey" conceptual bus
tours created by San Francisco artist Kate
Pocrass. I sent her an email saying I want to be
notified of the next tour. This is my idea of a truly
fun, quirky thing to do. I might try to round up a few
friends ro go with me and Jack (hint hint).
You can watch Spark on Comcast Cable Channel
191. The Hido/Pocrass episode I stumbled upon
is going to be shown again today, Sunday, at 7 p.m.
What else? Um, well, I discovered another song I
like; it's in the soundtrack to a movie, Unhook the
Stars, that starred Gena Rowland, whom I love,
and Marisa Tomei. The song
(same name as the movie) can be found on a 1996
Cyndi Lauper album called Sisters of Avalon (and
was written by Lauper). I paid the 99 cents to
download it from iTunes. Here are the lyrics, but
you really need the music too. (I don't know much
about Cyndi Lauper, truth be told, but I'm wondering
now if I should further investigate her talents.)
"Unhook The Stars"
Just when everything's in order and good, things
fall apart
Just when life should be resolving I'm back at the
beginning,
And it comes back to the heart ...
I'm not really sad ... I'm not running, I'm looking ...
Did I tell you I've saved all your letters and cards ...
There's just nothing left for me to do here but unhook
the stars ...
Do you remember when I told you all that I could and
it seemed like too much ...
Well I was living your life hoping you'd never fall ...
If I held on tight enough ...
And letting go now is like a passport to anywhere ...
With time on my hands I can make a new start ...
I just didn't want to stay here and unhook the stars
I just didn't want to stay here and unhook the stars
Don't worry for me it's just I'm inspired
Waiting in the wings made me drunk with possibility
It rivals my memories ...
