We are preparing to move a few blocks closer to the PATH at Grove Street. Jersey City is our home. It will be our home for the next several years. We are excited to move closer to some friends who will become neighbors, and sad to move away from our current ones (who are pretty [...]

Marke Finne: 3D Paintings

emily august — Wed, 05 May 2010 21:06:59 +0000

Created with flickr slideshow. On May 4th I photographed an art opening for Mark Finne, a local painter who likes to layer paints so that when viewed through 3D glasses, appear to float and move toward you. Rory was blown away. Drawing Club also took place and we had a nice time wearing party hats, [...]

Juliana Hatfield in My So-Called Life

Just got this stuck in my head after a brief chat with a coworker. I know there are a few girls in my circle who write songs about running away, and focus on childhood themes. I wonder how many of us have thought about this episode as a possible infl...

Rory was burning data off of all these old laptops, 3.5" floppy disks, and CDs we had been hanging on to. (He's sending all this technology to GreenDisk, which is a company that recycles technology.) I can't believe he found photos I had no idea ex...

jungle cat is queen of the double wide cat scratcher

Ruby is queen of all that surrounds. I'm sitting next to her, transcribing cassette tapes into digital format and there is a ton of snow outside. For anyone planning to go to the life drawing workshop at the Jersey City Museum, it has been canceled...

The annual WFMU pledge drive is ON, man. If you are a local Jersey City resident then you must already be listening. However, if you are a blog reader from way over yonder elsewhere, then you are going to want to start listening online. And when y...
