Magic Windows #4

by angeliska on October 9, 2009

Summer’s dwindling has brought the storms: this one was coming for me before I began my journey. I outran it in high-heeled boots, the wind lashing at my leftover locks, head newly half-shorn, walking through the drive-through at the bank. (…)

Languishing in New York

by angeliska on September 16, 2009

(From the collection of Mark Dion and Dana Sherwood) I arrived in the city soundly, despite Mercury’s meddlings (delays, insane turbulence) and headed straight from the airport to the Hungarian House where my beloved Zlatne Uste Balkan Brass Band and (…)

Strawberry Honey

by angeliska on June 28, 2009

Blueberry Honey

by angeliska on May 17, 2009

Good things: I received a surprise parcel this week from my long-lost friend Herr von der Goltz- it contained a disc- Music of the Tatar People and a book from 1903, German Wit and Humor. I love the nouveau cover! (…)

Krewe of Eris – The Feast of the Appetites!

by angeliska on May 4, 2009

I look forward to the Krewe of Eris parade every year- it usually happens on the weekend before Mardi Gras, and this year (it occurred back in February, mind) it was quite chilly indeed. Luckily we were all able to (…)
