I’ve always loved train-based tales of intrigue, especially those occurring in Europe during the interwar period. Murder on the Orient Express, that tense interrogation scene over the fur hat in the film “Julia,” Diane Keaton hugging Warren Beatty near the end of “Reds” …. Indeed, my fascinating with visas and stamps comes from that perennial train guard command, “Papers, please!” I was so thrilled when a guard asked me the question during my first trip to Europe in the ’80s.
Thus, I really enjoyed Sebastian Rotella’s dispatch from Brussels, “Europe trains’ history of intrigue isn’t over,” in last week’s Los Angeles Times.
Dear reader,
I hope that you are well.
I’m so sorry for the delayed update. I got a new job and am working hard to keep it…so haven’t had much time for anything else. I’ll be posting updates on my travels around our city in comic format…it’s easier to tell the story of my life in pictures these days.
Geoff M has some fascinating posts up at his BLDGBLOG.
I link to London Yields: Urban Agriculture: the story about speculative urban farming. Combined with the research proving that landscape affects specific climate, you could create a vineyard in the city by cultivating both grapes and cloud cover.

Steve Heller posted a fascinating entry on Design Observer about pricing graphic design ephemera. Are you a bin digger like me, trying to find treasure in the trash?

Fans of contemporary music are in a for a treat next month when the La Senora Research Institute in Boca de Santa Monica Canyon hosts the La Senora Chamber Music Concert in the Mojica Hacienda Salon, followed by a reception and photography exhibition of works by Artist John C. Lewis at 3 PM on Saturday, June 13th. Reception follows. Seating is limited so you must pre purchase tickets by June 6 via mail or online.
On Sunday, June 14, La Senora’s Composer-in-Residence, Mark B. Buys, will present a new work during the “Recuerdos Dos Espana y Mexico” concert at 3 PM.
Perhaps the Institute will display the hats of former resident, Anita Loos, this month.

Cartoon Brew blog has posted details on a cool event happening tonight that I’d attend if I weren’t too sick. I like the science aspects as I’ve been contemplating my gut all night after watching “Farrah’s Story” on TV last night. Man, I felt so awful last night that all I could do to feel better was to watch “Farrah’s Story” on TV and count my blessings that I didn’t have cancer. I kept watching her get on and off private planes rushing to posh German clinics where they poked LOOOONG assed needles in her abdomen and thinking “jeez, it hurts even when you are that rich with all those resources. i can’t imagine what it’s like to suffer with it on Medicare like the rest of America”
It was good to see her put her side out there and shame the tabloid industrial complex in the process for chasing her down to get such a ghoulish story.
Anyhoo…
“Ancient Book of Sex & Science” Show opens at the Gallery Nucleus. This is the follow-up to the out-of-print 2007 release The Ancient Book of Myth and War. The same four artists are involved: Scott Morse, Lou Romano, Don Shank and Nate Wragg. They all met as animators at Pixar.
