My husband got a record deal so I think I'll write a book.

pendragon has been hard at work creating an amazing collection of World Music.

If you have i-tunes, search for John Hamann Slipway.

Slipway is available in MP3 on Amazon and will be available as a disc in the next 4 to 6 weeks.

It will be available at other various on line music stores as well.

You KNOW I'll keep you posted. You can hear pendragon on John Frenken's  videos right now…

If you catch it just at the right time you can hear the concert from 1974 with the original show video screen footage.

I might add Brilliant! 

Check it out.

Inspired by BlanchNoE's comment regarding the painfully underrated movie 'Hanna', I decided to type up this list which I have kept and refreshed for myself since the 90s. Some of these titles have been on the list for a long time. With this fast cut/shaky camera fetish that directors have these days, it's hard to find a scene that's well done. Anyway, here's who and why:

They say god is everywhere then why can he not hear me

its like im being mocked by him like hes saying you can't see me

be it for my indulgences or for the furthest reaches of humanity

everytime I pray to him I never see that clarity

what am I to do in this most complicated of tragedies

when the one who you believe in the most

is the one telling you to abandon all your hope

come over to the darker shade of grey

where the realm of…

In the intervening decade I have not read any of the hundreds of books written about it or watched any of the documentary or Hollywood movies made about it, because even after ten years I still don’t have enough emotional distance from the…

I had a discussion recently with a client about greatness. Popularity is probably a more accurate description. It’s funny what people will tell you when you lay your hands on them. They seem to forget they are in a public place, surrounded by other people. They get in my chair and once we’ve talked business, they spill their dreams or their fears or their guts. I don’t really understand it.

Anyway, my client mentioned out of the blue that she regretted that she had never done anything…

Hello my Arkian friends!

Sorry to have been absent so long. Here's the Reader's Digest version. 

I mentioned last time that I was seriously considering auditioning for a position with Redken. Well, we went to NY so I could take my certification exam which is the first step to the process. Mr. Scribbler and I turned it into a Fabtieth birthday trip as well and had the most marvelous time. I'll post pics to give you a bit of the essence but this amateur photographer…

You don't know what they want

So you can't give them what they want

They don't know what they want

So they can't ask for what they want

When they think they know what they want, they try to get it

Usually using encoded signals which are easily misread

When they ask directly for what they want, that usually means it's too late

You blew it, because you're supposed to KNOW what cannot be known

Don't you…

Astronomer and blogger Ian Musgrave from South Australia has been active in debunking the misinformation and nonsense that is being disseminated about Comet Elenin. He has written several wonderful posts featuring the actual realities of this long-period lump of dirty ice that has, for some reason, attracted the attention of doomsdayers, 2012ers, and end-of-the-world scaremongers. Earlier this week, Ian’s…

After the confrontation between 'C' and my brother and other relatives, 'C' was forced into returning

my Mother's jewelry. Some of the pieces still missing, but I was unaware of this, and didn't care, my

Mom having passed just a week before. 'C' had the disgusting gall to call me in the midst of my mourning

to make me promise to sell her a specific piece of jewelry if I did decide to sell any, her voice

shaking with rage. I think I promised to do it just…

My friend Rik and I went to the dog pound and came home with Steve.  He's a 5-yr old Corgi/Papillon mix and perfect in every way!  Rik is also my neighbor and will come doggy-sit if I'm not home.

Topanga is very dog-friendly and I can bring him to work with me most days.  He curls up and sleeps at my feet while I work.  I got so lucky!  He's been here since…

I need to share what some of my relatives have been doing to me since my Mother

passed, even though I am embarrassed to admit I have these people in my family.

I'm hoping some of you can give me some perspective on this.

I have three aunts who are my Mother's sisters, living near me. One lives in my

building, two live in the highrise across the street. When my Mom had the stroke,

and had just been admitted to the hospital, she called me to…

Before I left on my hundred-mile journey to pick up Mister, my latest foster dog, I was asked by the rescue organization if I would mind transporting a dog on my way. Terry was a 15-year-old dog who was being surrendered by a couple in…

Just before I rolled out of bed this morning, I had a dream that Lima and Brad Pitt (Spacemonkey?) showed up at my house unannounced for dinner. And wouldn't you know it, my house was a mess and I was completely unprepared. But they brought a house gift with them... puppies!

Brad, who had long golden locks, Chig-style, was holding a black-and-white pit bull puppy. The puppy's skin was decorated with black numerals that Brad…
