Wilco – Poor Places
When I was a kid, I watched the Olympics every two years with my family. Barcelona, Lillehammer, Atlanta, Nagano, I watched both winter games and summer games with joyful expectation.
This year, I did not end up watching the Vancouver Olympics at all, and I’m trying to track down the gradual [...]

John Cage – 4’33”
-Robert Rauschenberg.
It’s Friday, and my Outlook task list says that it’s that time again for a blog post. Unfortunately, I’ve been so busy this week that I can’t even begin to mentally wrap my mind around what would be worth blogging about, a disease that I’m terming“writer’s blog”.
I wonder if the artists [...]

Jackson Browne – Running on Empty
This past Sunday afternoon I played racquetball for the first time, and having a blast, have made a minor commitment to try to get a bit back into shape. Now trust me, I know that setting the bar too high will only lead to utter frustration and failure, so [...]

James Horner – A Kaleidoscope of Mathematics
This is the parking lot at The Grove. One of the downsides of statistics is that they put into full focus the reality of situations that can only be described as abysmal.
Yet, the TFA naïveté within me says there is hope in the midst of even the most [...]

Yann Tiersen – Naval
Yesterday was President’s Day. In honor of the day, I thought briefly to myself “Gee, I’m glad our President is hard at work today”, and then proceeded to enjoy a fantastic day that included, among other things, a trip to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, or better known by locals [...]

Explore your city! Last evening, my friend Carl and I drove down to Compton to try this BBQ shack that we’d both heard about in a local paper.
While I would not normally drive 30 minutes for BBQ, I must say that this BBQ was simply sublime. Bludso’s is, [...]

John Williams – Duel of the Fates
It’s hard to believe that this is my 300th post on The Hunsblog. I’ve now been blogging here for about 2.5 years, and if anything, it provides me an outlet to vent frustrations, post jokes that no one is obligated to laugh at, or to simply showcase whatever random [...]

Eric Whitacre – Cloudburst
Early February in Los Angeles typically brings the “wet season” into full fruition. While certainly creating it’s fair share of annoyances and disturbances, I’ve got to admit that I’m certainly glad at how GREEN it’s making everything around here.
Finally, after months of brown, smoggish ambivalence, the skies, now washed clean of all [...]

The Smashing Pumpkins– Stray Cat Blues
This is not a pet.
One of the interesting things that I am discovering about my new neighborhood is that it seems to be stray cat central. Not that they’re really causing any trouble, I just know one of these days I’m going to accidently run over one with my car.
