Strange Silences

November 23, 2005

The term is ending in a couple of weeks. There is an exhibition to prepare for, a poetry reading, a couple of concerts. I have been quiet here, because I have had work to put between myself and the days that I try to accurately (and admittedly, artfully) record here for you. I have had

Conconne

November 8, 2005

Here’s a little glimpse into how I spend some of my time – Maria-Elena and I went into the music room late on Sunday night and fooled around with her laptop recording studio.

Monday, October 24th was Seamus’ birthday, and his only request was that we all meet in the courtyard of the Aegean Village (our apartments) for a grand potluck. We scoffed – we were going to do that anyway! So Monday night, Kathryn and I flung our doors wide open and Maria-Elena came over with raddichio
