Savages - She Will

Posts Tagged ‘poets.org’

Knowing how way leads on to way…

I am ramblin round this morning. ;)

Martha Wells has put another short story up for reading on her website.   Reflections is a Giliead and Ilias story (set before The Wizard Hunters) and first appeared in Black Gate, issue #10.

I somehow missed the announcement that after 26 years Reading Rainbow is ending.   I disagree so strongly with their reasoning.  No amount of teaching how to read is going to help if a kid doesn’t want to read.  Reading Rainbow excelled at getting kids to want to read.  I watched it with my youngest brother and then again with the ‘Bit.  There isn’t anything else like it on television and I will miss sharing it with Scooter.

Poets.org set me a list of the most popular poems to teach.  I was happy to see two of my favorites, Dreams by Langston Hughes and The Road not Taken by Robert Frost on their list.

I recently discovered a livejournal version of my old blues blog.  After reading some of the entries I vaguely remember I was going to use it as sort of a back up.  It only runs a couple of months but it contains posts I lost when I moved my blog from Typepad over to WordPress so I am happy to get the chance to save those posts and stick them in the archives.

Well, Scooter is up so I need to call it a post and go.

This is difficult for me to say but I get about halfway through the process and find myself so homesick I just can’t continue. The past few years have been full [...]

  • Arc & Stones…

    Now that Scooter is back sleeping nights I proclaim this ’dig myself out from under the mountain of un-reviewed music‘ week. Kicking off the week o’reviewing is Arc & Stones, the debut EP from Brooklyn band Arc & Stones. The guys are Dan Pellarin (vocals), Ben Cramer (guitar), Joe Doino (drums) and Eddy Bayes (bass).  I had [...]

  • Telegraph Taboo…
    January 21, 2013 | 8:45 am

    So, I was in the mood for some blues and whoosh – blues appeared. Other people get coupons, bills and news updates in the mail while I get blues music. Cool new blues music in the form of the debut release Telegraph Taboo from the Chicago-based band Nick and the Ovorols. This is not a pretty album. The vocals on a few tracks [...]
