Ceramics Saturdays: Aga Khan Museum
I knew next to nothing about Islamic ceramics when I walked into the Aga Khan Museum of Islamic Art in Toronto last month. I knew they had beautiful faïence wares, often intricately decorated, but that was about it. The collection at Aga Khan blew my mind–in particular the Bellerive Room, which showcases Prince Sadruddin’s personalContinue reading “Ceramics Saturdays: Aga Khan Museum”
Madame Cleo
A throwback for anyone who watched late-night TV in the 90s…. I get the biggest kick out of these shorts filmed by a mom of 2 (now 3!) sighthounds, so I thought I’d share silken windhound Cleo’s Halloween production with you.

I actually watched this one a year ago, I think, but never posted on it.

Drama Queen/I Have Notes…for Black
See—this is why I keep old journals….so I can go through them and self-plagiarize for this blog. Until I found that journal, I forgot how angry the ending of Black made me when I watched it in 2018, so I couldn’t be happier about doing an “I Have Notes” post on it. This is alsoContinue reading “Drama Queen/I Have Notes…for Black”
Gosha Helps Aziza Shell Almonds
…and helps himself to some apples; crow beaks are no joke. I feel like I told this story on this blog already, but WordPress’s search function sucks, so I’ll tell it again. I found an injured crow, when I was like 10 or 12, and our friend Pat Oldham let me rehab him under herContinue reading “Gosha Helps Aziza Shell Almonds”
