Anachronistic Life: musings on real time pleasures. An evocation of Big Sur. The perilous beauty of this place is evokes a series of contradictions: poison oak and live oak, towering redwoods and green-pastured headlands, rattlesnakes and condors, fog and fires, granite peaks and white sand beaches, placid rivers and roaring surf, lush gardens of flowers and citrus and dry chaparral, a nearly vertical landscape of mountains plunging straight down to the sea and the devastating landslides that result.

Anachronistic Life: musings on real time pleasures. Today marks an anachronistic holiday of sorts— Bloomsday.

Anachronistic Life: musings on real time pleasures. What could arguably be one of the quintessentially anachronistic pastimes of this century is to attend the broadcast of a live radio show consisting of music (singing together and performing musicians), drama (with human-made sound effects) and stories. Yes, A Prairie Home Companion. Broadcast from Seattle this past Saturday and we went to the live show. Live radio shows are rare these days.Stuart Maclean's The Vinyl Cafe.

Anachronistic Life: musings on real time pleasures. The lure of Big Sur. The wonderful stone house built by Robinson Jeffers for his family. Our tour with Barb introduced us to Jeffers’ amazingly evocative poetry and enhanced our literary appreciation of the area and Jeffers himself. The road to Big Sur had reopened by July of that year when we made our longest and only summertime visit. The wild herbs, flowers, and grasses were at their height and it was almost continually foggy. In addition to hearing ...

Anachronistic Life: musings on real time pleasures. I thought perhaps a year had gone by since my last post, and I wanted to note that on. Year's Bloomsday, while I didn't attend a reading of James Joyce's. Stately, plump Buck Mulligan came down from the stairhead, bearing a bowl of lather on which a mirror and a razor lay crossed.".

Anachronistic Life: musings on real time pleasures. Music festivals proliferate everywhere this time of year, but Canada shines on the North American scene. Government support of cultural events and an openness to international offerings (literally and figuratively) play key roles in this phenomenon, and we are fortunate to live close enough to Vancouver, British Columbia to enjoy both the Vancouver International Jazz Festival (way more than jazz) and the Vancouver Folk Music Festival. We are not humanity.

Anachronistic Life: musings on real time pleasures: An abundance
http://anachronisticpleasures.blogspot.com/2010/04/abundance.html
Anachronistic Life: musings on real time pleasures. But then I realized that a key word in this blog’s title and URL is “pleasures” and that is and will be the ongoing to be the focus, however wide-ranging. The past week has seen a variety of such pleasures, one of the benefits of living in this city. Of course, the quintessential pleasure is food, exemplified by an exceptional dinner we had at Poppy. We returned to Seattle Art Museum. For a final visit to see Alexander Calder: A Balancing Act. A rousing...

Anachronistic Life: musings on real time pleasures: Celebrating Shakespeare
http://anachronisticpleasures.blogspot.com/2010/04/celebrating-shakespeare.html
Anachronistic Life: musings on real time pleasures. Well, it’s Shakespeare’s birthday (and death-day). Plus it’s Talk like Shakespeare. Sponsored by the Chicago Shakespeare Theatre. Where we haven't seen Shakespeare but did see a interactive performance of Christopher Marlowe's. And it’s opening day of Shakespeare’s Globe. And regarding theatrical festiveness, I can’t neglect the Oregon Shakespeare Festival. And fifteen years later (though no longer a tart girl), I saw. As You Like It. Posted by Julia Pa...
