On Friday, instead of going into the city to see the Jane Austen exhibit, I decided to go tour the The Old Stone House Museum. I was in the general vicinity so it seemed like a good timing. It's not easy to get to from where I live, since it is located in the middle of Gowanus, and just a touch west of Park Slope, in the middle of the R line in Brooklyn.

Turns out that the Old Stone House had an art exhibit on the second floor. They do revolving contemporary art exhibitions. The House isn't refurbished to look like it did back in the day - instead, it has an interactive Revolutionary and Colonial Historical exhibit on the first floor, and on the second revolving art exhibitions, while outside various gardens, and space for theatrical performances, playing fields, and musical performances, also hearth cooking.

The Old Stone House dates back to 1699 and was commissioned by Dutch settlers who took the land from the Marechkawick and Lenape.



history of the Old Stone House )

And was the site of one of the biggest battles of the American Revolutionary War - known as the Battle of Brooklyn. The Americans lost a pivotal battle at the Old Stone House, and proceeded to occupy Manhattan and Brooklyn for the next 7 years. Also, during this time, it should be noted that there were more slaves working and living at the Old Stone House than free people. The Dutch settlers, from the Netherlands, owned and brought slaves.

And on the second floor of the house was an intriguing little art exhibit, which for once, I took pictures of. I normally don't - but there was no one up there and no one seemed to mind.

The Exhibition is a collective series of works around a general theme "Nothing is Fixed".

"Nothing is Fixed reflects the tumultuous Trump presidency and the destabilization of societal norms, echoing James Baldwin’s words:

“Nothing is fixed, forever, and forever, and forever. It is not fixed. The earth is always shifting, the light is always changing, the sea does not cease to grind down rock. What you have, you hold. What you don’t have, you can’t hold.”(Nothing Personal, 1964)

Just as the natural world constantly shifts, so too can our political and social systems evolve—sometimes for the worse, but also for the better. This exhibition examines the tension between a moment of deep division and uncertainty, and with an underlying optimism that change is inevitable and can lead to growth, healing, and progress. By confronting the instability of our current moment, the work suggests that while nothing is static, the direction of change remains in our collective hands."

So, I've managed to see one museum that I've never visited before, just have about 159 to go? I know I've seen at least 7 others.

Had the required dental visit - which I do, infrequently. I get the same lecture every time: you should come every six months, if not sooner, you should wear mouth guard or you can do botox injections -

Because I slept badly the night before - due to various factors, inclusive of being aggravated by the building management's incompetence in scheduling building inspectors and high blood sugar - I didn't walk as far as planned today. Also Transit was doing track work - so the trains were screwed up again. Lots of construction work everywhere - I live in a city that is perpetually under construction.

On the way to Lofty Pigeons books, the only book store that doesn't appear to carry a lot of Stephen King or Neil Gaiman books, I found a twenty dollar bill and a ten dollar bill on the sidewalk. I looked down, saw what I expected to be a one dollar or five dollar bill, and it was a twenty. Then looked around to see who dropped it - there was no one nearby. So I decided the Universe wanted me to buy a book today. It was also in the exact amount as the book I wanted to buy - $30.00.

So I did manage to buy the book I'd been hunting everywhere - since I read about it on coll's journal - "The Antidote by Karen Russell". I kept talking myself out of it - telling myself to buy it on Kindle (except I tend to lose track of the things I get on the Kindle, also I don't really own them outright? If I stop using the Kindle - they go bye-bye.)

The Sourdough Foccacia Bread that I bought yesterday is amazing. That has got to be the best sourdough foccacia gluten free bread that I've ever had. It doesn't require anything - not even really butter. You know it's good bread - when you can eat it plain. I decided to do a ploughman's lunch, with the bread, some hard swiss cheese, brie, some hard salami, English Mustard (Frackles), dill pickles, celery, carrots, olives, and some lettuce. It was lovely. And for desert - another piece of bread with butter, plus the unsweetened matcha latte (unfortunately only the ones in the city have unsweetened almond milk, the ones in Brooklyn - I had to get whole milk or skim, because their nut and oat milks have agave.)

I've decided I may order the bread, and pick it up on the way home from work sometimes. You can do that. Or get Doordash to deliver it.

All in all a productive day. I even got my allbirds shoes, which I can wear without socks. Although I'm wrestling with getting orthoshoes - with inserts. You can get them with FSA, but I don't think I have enough left on the card - with the dental appointments, and soon, contacts, plus other meds that I put on it.

Here's another wall mural or Brooklyn Street Art - that I saw on the way home from the dental appointment.

Work was irritating me. It was overcast, cool, and spitting rain outside, and I felt I deserved a cookie and a decafe cappucino, with unsweetened Almond-Milk. Plus it was a short walk - so exercise. (I can always justify buying a cookie with the exercise required to obtain said cookie.) The financial district is not good for my budget.

Make that two gluten-free freshly baked cookies from Insominia Cookies. Apparently they also deliver. And you can get the cookies with ice cream. I just got the cookies. They have a wide variety of regular cookies...apparently they only know how to bake gluten-free chocolate chip? (They had five different vegan cookies. )

I'm just grateful for the cookies. It's very hard to find fresh baked gluten free cookies. Okay, maybe not that hard? I've found four places to date in the financial district. And one near me at home. Still on the hunt for a croissant, but that may be impossible.

So far, Printemps is ahead by a nudge (although it's pricey), with Insomina a close second. Meredith's (the cheapest) is behind both, and I think I'd put Natural Way fourth. Haven't tried Funny Face yet - it also has one gluten-free type of cookie - chocolate chip. Natural Way at least branches out with Oatmeal Raisin. You'd think there would be more oatmeal cookies (which was my father's favorite cookie) but you'd be wrong. I used to make them with chocolate chips, because I don't like raisins that much. (Towards the end of his life, my father would eat any cookie. He couldn't drink, he couldn't smoke, so he ate cookies. Any cookie. Even imaginary cookies. No other desert would do, just, well cookies. Mother called him the cookie monster.)

Oh, and last weekend, I finished another watercolor of a woman that I saw repeatedly on the subway. I added a kid to it. Mainly because I'm considering putting the watercolors together to tell the story of a little girl visiting her mother in the hospital and all the people she meets and sees on the subway that help her along the way. It may or may not happen. We'll see if I can do enough viable and presentable paintings first, then I'll write the little story, put together a sample photo book of them, and pitch the idea to Arts in Transit. I like the paintings, but alas, art like beauty and humor is in the eye of the beholder - so I'm not sure other folks will. Everybody is a critic, and my art leans more towards impressionistic than realism?

Finished watching White Lotus S3 over the weekend, and it haunts me.
It was much better than I expected. I'd fallen asleep during White Lotus S2, and couldn't get into White Lotus S1. The appeal of Jennifer Coolidge was lost on me, and I really didn't like the cast in the second season, they all grated on my nerves. I can't stand Michael Imperial. So I didn't expect to like S3, at all. But, it had a cast that intrigued me - Jason Issacs (Star Trek Discovery, among others), Walter Goggins (Fall Out, Justified), Carrie Coon (Gilded Age), Leslie Bibb, Natasha Rothwell, Scott Glenn (whose gotten old and looks skeletal), and Sam Rockwell. Plus numerous nominations.

I watched...and it was compelling. And haunting. Very dark comedy - I didn't find it funny. (I can't say I find any of the comedies nominated funny - maybe Hacks?) And it wasn't predictable - it actually surprised me.
I thought it would go darker than it did. And different people would die.

It does a good dissection of friendship and superficial relationships, or masking in relationships, where folks aren't authentic or genuine with each other, and lie with pasted on smiles, and grins that never quite leave their faces. The only ones who don't are in misery and wracked with pain.
And they all appear to be chasing pleasure, purpose and happiness which eludes them the more they try to chase it. There's an emptiness there, and a strong message about spirituality.

I was astonished how good Jason Isacs, Walter Goggins, and Carrie Coon were.

Started watching Great British Sewing Bee on Roku channel, which is kind of interesting? I'm not really a sewer, so some of it is lost on me. And it's more sewing focused than fashion focused?

July Question Memage

19. Do you like spicy foods such as chilli peppers?

Yes on spicy foods. No on chilli peppers. I have to be careful. I like them, my esophagus and gut are more particular. Or they don't always like me. I accidentally took a small bit of the hottest pepper on the planet once, aka the Carolina Reaper - my lips burned for days. I didn't get it past them.
Avoid at all costs. The heat is in the seeds and juice. I mistook it for a different pepper and cut it up in a salad.

I can do spicy more than most. I like wasabi, sirachi, and tabasco for example. And put pepper (black pepper and red pepper crushed) on a lot of things, more than salt.

20. Are there any artisan food markets or farmer’s markets held close to where you live? Do you visit often?

Yes. Farmer markets are plentiful - Across the street from my work place every Tuesday (not big, but there), and about a twenty-thirty minute walk every Sunday from my apartment. Also lots of indoor artisan food markets. It's NYC. It has everything.

21. Have you ever traced your family tree?

Yes, fell down the rabbit hole with it once and traced all the way back to the 1690s Scotland and Britain, also 1690s in the US. How accurate it is, don't know. It's hard to verify anything further back than the 1700s. (Because the records don't survive). Germany was mostly destroyed in WWII, and the Native Americans, along with the African-Americans destroyed a lot of theirs for well, obvious reasons. France also lost a lot records in WWII. As did Spain.

But Ireland, Scotland, Wales, England, and Britain in general - not a problem, they did a better job of preserving records, apparently.

It does get confusing the further back you go, and I gave up. I have relatives who are into it - though.

22. Do you know how to play backgammon? How about chess?

Yes to both. But haven't played in years, so it's unlikely I remember the rules or how. Last time was about ten years ago. I prefer backgammon, it's quicker. Chess takes forever.

23. Do you own a coffee machine? What’s your favourite type of coffee?

No. I can't drink coffee - only decafe, on occasion. The acidity and caffeine concentration make me ill.

24. How are you feeling today?

Tired and kind of spacy, also irritable. Sleep deprived. Going to bed now, in the hopes of remedying it.

Today, I wandered through the Urban Farm at the foot of Manhattan, in Battery Park. I also sat in the park on a chair on the grass beneath the trees, watching children play. It was a beautiful day, with a slight haze, most likely from the Canadian Wild Fires in the North.




It was a frustrating day, so I needed a break from it. As tempting as it is to regale you all with the details? I'll refrain.

Some bad news? Dochawk, you may or may not remember him from the ATPO_BTVS and ATS Fan Discussion Board? His two female cousins were victims of the flame-thrower attack in Boulder, Colorado. Read more... )

I'm trying to ignore the news for the most part - but keep stumbling upon it, whether I want to or not. Thank you, information age.

Been comforting myself by watching and listening to James Marsters Q&A's on youtube. I have a serious crush on that actor. I have crushes on several actors. Cillian Murphy is another one, so too is Hugh Jackman, Robert Downy Jr, David Tennant, Claudia Black, also Juliet Landau, Helen Mirren, Emma Thompson, Viola Davis, Angela Basset, Jonathon Groff....I am notorious for actor crushes.

Marsters said something interesting in regards to a question about Whedon and separating art from the artist. Read more... )

Been rewatching Buffy as a comfort show - and it still holds up, and rather well at that. I just saw I Only Have Eyes for You - it's an episode that airs late in S2. I'd forgotten most of it. And forgot how good it is. The first few times I'd seen it - I hadn't thought much of it, but now, it resonates in a different way? The writers are commenting on multiple things - and it subverts various tropes. It's actually surprising the network let them do it - back in the 90s.
spoilers for those who never saw it, is there anyone? )

I didn't sleep well last night. Ached. And I ache now. Digestive issues, I think? Although did many things in the hopes of counter-acting them. My failing was giving in and having ice cream (Malawi Coffee and Rose Almond both Indian flavors and locally made). I did everything else right - baked salmon with zuccini and summer squash, and lots of water.

Oh well, it is what it is. Hopefully I can get the restless legs to calm down enough to sleep.

Here's a nice photo to round out this long rambling post.

Half watching the West End Revival of Kiss Me Kate on Great Performances, and it's not very good. The one on National Theater Streaming is far better. Although the singer performing Lois Lane/Bianca is wonderful. And I like the intergrated casting. The difficulty with Kiss Me Kate is the misogynistic source material, and some of the Cole Porter songs do not date well, while others work quite well. Although the performances are quite good in places. And the guy who did the dance sequence for Too Darn Hot was a showstopper.

Yes, I am theater geek or a theater buff. Ask me about theater, and I can go on and on and on at length, with an almost encyclopedic knowledge. Same is true about television and film.

I fell in love with the theater in the fifth grade - when two tall black boys in a mostly white grade school in the 1970s put together a play as an alternative to playing baseball at recess. It was cold, and we had access to the gym. The play was Snow White and the Seven Dwarves (actually twelve dwarves, we had a lot of folks involved). I was cast as one of the dwarves. I was a tall dwarf, but not that tall - since I was after all only eleven or twelve at the time. My first theater role was a dwarf. To understand how amusing that is? You need to know I was taller than everyone but the two kids directing the play. I think one of their names was DJ or TJ, can't remember. They were wonderful. Kind, smart, and a nice barrier against bullying. No one dared bully or tease me when they were present.

Sorry for the tangent. Long way of explaining why I enjoy listening to actor podcasts.

Speaking of?

Schmactors is back - basically it's two character actors (James Marsters and his buddy, Mark Devine) from theater, television, voice, and film discussing you guessed it, theater, film, television and everything in between.

I have a fondness for character actors, I seldom love the leads. It's a problem, since it's hard to find anything that they are in. I think the reason is - that I was a character actor. I'm always crushing on actors that seem to only get a few roles, and everything else is hard to find.
I started watching Buffy because of Anthony Head, who I followed there from his previous role on VR5. I'd fallen in love with him - in the stage musical Chess, when he briefly took over his brother's role in the London run of the musical way back in 1988. I'd seen him perform it live - three rows from the stage, or maybe four rows. He blew me away when he sang Pity the Child in that run, and I was in love. (I took a course in London for two months - where we read plays, wrote reviews on the stage productions that we saw performed, and discussed them in detail.)

At any rate, it's getting late...so here's a picture that I painted of people I've seen on the subway, from memory, proof that the subway is perfectly safe. They are. Don't believe the idiots who say otherwise, they clearly don't live in New York.

First things first - still rainy, cooler, and humid (because rain). But better mood for some reason or other. Maybe I slept better?

Cultural Items worth noting:

Music

Stumbled upon this interesting youtube podcast with a music nerd (they are always men for some reason?), and this is the top 10 70s Television Theme Songs (I clicked on it because the click-bait headline (they always have clickbait headlines) was "Director Told 14 year old Son to Write the Stupidest Song Became the Best TV Song Ever". That's a very long clickbait headline.

I figured out what it was before I clicked (but was curious to see if I was right), because I listened to the biography of Robert Altman. But he's wrong - it's not the director of the television show. It was the director of the film, who famously despised the television show and tried to block it. (He obviously didn't and would kick the Professor of Rock from the grave for indicating he was even remotely involved with it). He also joked that his son made more money off of rights to the song than he did from directing the film. Although, usually you just hear the composition. The reason the song is so good - is the achingly haunting composition by Johnny Mandel (who actually performed it in the film) and he turned it into magic.

Guess which song I'm talking about?

Met Gala

Looked at all the costumes, sorry fashions, today at work. ( I was bored.)
Then discussed with Art History Major - her favs were..

Louis Hamilton's Outfit

Sabrina the Ring Leader

I explained to AHM and Mother over the phone tonight - that they don't wear those outfits for as long as you think. In reality, they change in a special changing area about two blocks away, get in a limo, arrive, disembark, do the big photo shoot, then enter the lobby, another photo shoot, then change and go to the party. No cameras are allowed in the Museum itself. And only a scant few journalists. So a lot of the guests have a change of clothes. Also they don't always buy the outfits - they are wearing them to display the art, then oftentimes the outfit is either donated to the Museum or a gift. It's to show off the designer - like a runway show.

AHM: So they only wear them for 15 minutes?
Me: Yup. Usually they are wearing sweats or jeans at the party. It kind of explains a lot, if you think about it.

Another tidbit worth noting? The Gala is always chaired and hosted/put on by the Editor and Chief of Vogue, Anne Wintour, who banned Trump and his entire family from the Gala in 2017.

AHM: She should have done it for life.
ME: She did.

Question a Day Memage

I'm behind again:

End of April

27. If you could change one thing about your appearance, what would that be?

At the moment my hair - or rather how it parts and my forehead. But I honestly don't know how I'd change it.

No, wait, my back. I'd love to ditch the curvature resulting in rounded shoulders. I want a straight spine, damn it. (It's physically impossible without surgery and just no. Besides, everyone seems to end up with rounded shoulders by their 70s and 80s.)

28. In 1761 Marie Harel was born – a French cheesemaker credited with the invention of Camembert. Are you a fan of this type of cheese?

Yes. I like cheese. It's a guilty pleasure, I admit it. And I love Camembert. The smellier the cheese, the better.

1. Tonight is the The Met Gala, which is always the first Monday in May, where the rich and famous dress up in outlandish and pricey outfits and strut their stuff like large peacocks up a green carpeted stair case, while photographers snap photos. Once inside, it's just a huge party, where they wander about the Museum in all their finery. (Some take it off and change into something else, or so I've been told.) Food is served. Entertainment provided. And Journalists for Vanity Fair, Vogue and Elle write everything down, but no photos are taken inside the Museum for understandable reasons. Each year has a different theme - that everyone is supposed to follow, or strongly encouraged to (they don't have to and some don't dress up at all) - this year's theme is ""Superfine: Tailoring Black Style". Here's the photos from Parade. The Gala is an invite only benefit to raise funds for the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

2. In other news, my church played a remastering of this song by George Harrsion, which I found comforting. George Harrison may be among the most underrated of the song-writers out there - his songs are simply beautiful.

lyrics )

Paul McCartney Singing the Song

George Harrison playing it

Remastered version of George Harrison singing the song

The song basically says it's temporary, be grateful and let it go, all at the same time. Reminds me a little of Let It Be, in tonal quality.

3. Another song for a rainy Monday ...

Rainy Days and Mondays...by the Carpenters - this song kind of fit me today. It's how I'm feeling today.

lyrics )

Music has a lovely way of making me feel less alone, that somewhere out there at this very moment in time, someone feels exactly the same way - and that song resonates for them as well.

Music and art connect us, I think, to each other, and to the world around us.

I'm proud of myself for submitting it. It's the first work of art that I've submitted to an exhibition in a very very long time, since I was a kid, actually.

2. Television

* Been binge-watching Resident Alien on Netflix, starring Alan Tudyk, there's two seasons of it available. Made it through about six episodes. They are about thirty minutes each and being Netflix, when one ends, the next one begins with barely a credits roll.

Set-up? vague spoilers - except all happen in first two episodes ) Think fish out of water tale such as Northern Exposure - except the fish out of water is an alien trying to destroy the human race, and failing miserably at it.

It's a comedy.

Started on Syfy, now on Netflix as well. Much easier to watch on Netflix.

* X-men '97 - Disney + - this is a reboot of the 1990-1996 Fox X-men Animated Series. I saw about two or three seasons of the 90s series back in the 90s. And it's really when the X-men became mainstream. Most people know about the X-men from the Fox 1990s series. (Ugh). The Fox 1990s series is not bad, it's actually better if you've not read the comics first. If you've read the comics first and remember them well - it will irritate you. The animation of the Fox 1990s series is on the clunky side (it was good in the 1990s however), but better than most cartoons. And the dialogue on the cheesy side. Cyclops is written kind of stiffly and not well at all. He's boring in the 90s series, the most interesting characters in the series are Rogue, Storm and Wolverine, Jean is kind of dull and poorly developed, as is Cyclops and Jubliee. Gambit is kind of edgy and creepy. That's the 1990s cartoon.

The 2024 reboot - or X-men '97 which was written and created by the (recently fired) Beau DeMayo is actually pretty good. And a vast improvement over the original. It has two episodes that have dropped. And it focuses on the late 1970s/early 1980s comics but - with big changes. Scott/Cyclops is written a tad better, as is Jean, Wolverine, Storm, Rogue, Gambit, Jubliee, etc. And they've brought back Morph. Xavier is gone, and Magneto is taking over.

What's odd is they fired the creator, and he's left social media entirely. Hasn't posted since the firing in early March, two weeks before the premiere.

No one knows why. Except he was posting semi nude pictures of himself - posing on Xitter - and well, he's Black and Gay. And it is Disney. But I'm hoping they had a better reason and guessing it was a legal one? No one knows, and no one is happy about it. The first two episodes were done well.
All the characters were written and drawn better, as were the action sequences.

On Beau DeMayo Firing and Where Things Currently Stand

Marvel is working towards rebooting the X-men films, and doing that through a reboot of the animated series, and the comic series - the X-men is its most popular flagship series, since it has the most diverse characters and the most diversified audience and ahem, appeals to women, LGBTA, trans, and not just nerdy heterosexual cisgendered fanboys.

And I foresee a Bridgerton rewatch in my future. Also the 3 Body Problem is on Netflix.

3. Almost forgot... Cillian Murphy forms a new production Company, Big Things Films

" EXCLUSIVE: Cillian Murphy, fresh off of the massive global success of Oppenheimer — and as he gets ready to debut Small Things Like These (in which he stars and he produced) as the opening-night gala of the Berlin Film Festival next week — has set his next starring and producing gig with Steve.

This adaptation of Max Porter’s novel Shy also officially launches Murphy’s production company, Big Things Films, with longtime collaborator Alan Moloney."

The article contains a discussion with Cillian and his producing partner.
Also Cillian is starting filming on a Peaky Blinders movie for Netflix in September.

This is the team that did Breakfast on Pluto, Intermission and Delingquent Season.

" An independent, story-driven company, Big Things was initially created to produce Small Things Like These, and aims to collaborate with singular filmmakers, writers, actors and directors, both new and established, who have something to say and are passionate about what they do. Big Things will collaborate with like-minded financiers, studios, distributors and streamers in both film and television.

The company will seek material in which Murphy will act, but not exclusively.

Projects will be designed to provoke, inspire and explore themes that take audiences to places that can sometimes be uncomfortable, but more often reveal core truths about who we are, regardless of genre or format, the partners say.

Meanwhile, Berlinale opener Small Things Like These is based on the Booker Prize-shortlisted novel by Claire Keegan with a screenplay by Enda Walsh. Murphy, Eileen Walsh and Emily Watson star in the story which takes place over Christmas 1985, when devoted father Bill Furlong (Murphy) discovers the startling secrets being kept by the convent in his town, and some shocking truths about his own life as well. "

So good news for Cillian Murphy fans.

Ryan Gosling is starring in Project Hail Mary - the Andy Weir novel adaptation, which I will most likely skip, because it has a friendly alien spider race in it. I can handle that in a book, I cannot handle looking at alien spiders on screen.

Sigh, it's that time again - off to bed.
