    Jasmine and the Bees

    by

Her company Zee Bee Honey produces honey and bees wax candles which she sells at farmer’s markets and in stores around Regina. Jasmine took an interest in Michelle’s bee keeping operation and suited up to check out the […]

    Triple (or Quadruple?) Twitter Troll WIRE106 Quote

    by
    This is my first attempt (I think) at the (Triple) Troll Quote assignment: Visual Assignment 24, by the responses to which I am frequently impressed. There is a simplicity to the technical execution of the assignment which emphasizes the connections that happen before the Art is made. While not a new Jim Groom Triple Troll Wire […]

    Hello [The Wire] Baltimore

    by
    As usual in my house yesterday I had NPR Radio on in the background. The show Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me had a segment with Baltimore filmmaker John Waters as guest. PETER SAGAL: In April 2011, we talked to a man who’s made some of our favorite movies – John Waters, who went to the city he made famous, Baltimore, Maryland, and we’re surprised to discover he didn’t actually grow up in Baltimore, Maryland. JOHN WATERS: No, I grew up in suburbia, which I ran from as quickly as I could. (SOUNDBITE OF APPLAUSE) SAGAL: Yeah. WATERS: I wanted to come downtown and be a beatnik. (SOUNDBITE OF LAUGHTER) SAGAL: What drew you to downtown Baltimore, to the city? WATERS: Well, I first came downtown, and I saw beatniks, and I saw people that didn’t fit in. I saw outsiders that didn’t even fit in with their own minority. And […]

    STILL “King of the World”

    by
    The Daily Create TDC941 asks us to re-write the nice letters that Speilberg and Lucas used to send to each other when one of their films surpassed the other’s on the Box Office list. The letters were always nice letters and it said to make them sound like they really were thinking instead of nice. […]

    Finally – I’m hearing you

    by
    North Coast Wknd 2014. Something in my neck is out of whack, causing a head-to-toe pain that makes me think how people with fibromyalgia or rheumatoid arthritis must feel, or my husband, whose body is always out of whack (chronic post-polio coupled with age and a Piscean tendency toward passivity, i.e., not doing anything about it). … Continue reading
