thorick's world: June 2014
http://thorick-world.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
Row, row, row yer boat, gently down the stream of conciousness. . . . . . Sunday, June 29, 2014. Pride Day above Market Street. It's Gay Pride Sunday and I'm on BART heading for the city. Someone has arranged 2 beautiful baskets of artificial iridescent flowers. My cell phone picture doesn't do them justice! While sympathetic, I'm not on my way to the parade and festivities. Instead I'm looking forward to my favorite Sunday morning activity:. Ballet class at SF DanceCenter. What a great day! Recently I t...

Row, row, row yer boat, gently down the stream of conciousness. . . . . . Sunday, June 17, 2012. 2012 Ballet's Time To Shine. Perhaps starting with the release of the movie 'Mao's Last Dancer' in 2009. Followed by the movie 'Black Swan' in 2010. Ballet is (once again) hitting the pop culture mainstream. So far this year, hopping on and riding the popularity wave we have 2 current TV series:. 2 The not-reality based 'Bunheads' on ABC. It all seems so improbable at first. Dancing is my life". The San Franc...

thorick's world: September 2011
http://thorick-world.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Row, row, row yer boat, gently down the stream of conciousness. . . . . . Wednesday, September 28, 2011. I decide to take a scenic route west out of Sisters Oregon. Highway 126 just out of town is a beautiful narrow road through lush forest lands which suddenly give way to vast, stark, inhospitable lava fields. So inhospitable that no vegetation has grown in the fields for centuries. It's solid rocks. Tuesday, September 27, 2011. Quite noticeable was the nice decor in the Men's Room at the city park....

thorick's world: Aesthetics are for those that can afford it
http://thorick-world.blogspot.com/2012/09/aesthetics-are-for-those-that-can.html
Row, row, row yer boat, gently down the stream of conciousness. . . . . . Wednesday, September 19, 2012. Aesthetics are for those that can afford it. I went to a Post Office to buy some stamps the other day and was soundly disappointed with what came out of the machine. This has got to be the *worst* looking USPS issued stamp that I've ever seen. Despite it's message, there is nothing worth celebrating here, not for an instant and *certainly* not FOREVER! Look up close and marvel at the beautiful detail:.

thorick's world: January 2012
http://thorick-world.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Row, row, row yer boat, gently down the stream of conciousness. . . . . . Sunday, January 15, 2012. 2012 has welcomed in another edition of the German Gems film festival. At the Castro Theater in San Francisco. This year I opted to partake of one film:. Uber uns das All (roughly 'Over us the Sky'). This film, Director Writer Jan Schomburg's first feature (! Are left completely unanswered. The movie is pleasingly vague and we're left with trying our best to live in Martha's head as the tale unfolds. The d...

thorick's world: A Better Breed of Faux Brick
http://thorick-world.blogspot.com/2012/10/a-better-breed-of-faux-brick.html
Row, row, row yer boat, gently down the stream of conciousness. . . . . . Thursday, October 11, 2012. A Better Breed of Faux Brick. Hot on the heels of the recent post about the cost of aesthetic. In which the unattractiveness of a slab of concrete that was surfaced in an attempt to make it resemble the brickwork around it, and in which it was said that maybe painting the concrete to look like brick might have been a better choice. I've come across a rather attractive painting of faux brick on asphalt.

thorick's world: How long will a Snickers bar power a Cuckoo Clock
http://thorick-world.blogspot.com/2012/09/how-long-will-snickers-bar-power-cuckoo.html
Row, row, row yer boat, gently down the stream of conciousness. . . . . . Sunday, September 23, 2012. How long will a Snickers bar power a Cuckoo Clock. The fact that the clock is entirely weight driven makes it rather easy to figure out how much energy is used up driving the clock. This posed a question that I wanted an answer to:. For how long would a standard Snickers bar power the 2 weight Cuckoo Clock that I have? Let's get a rough answer! Because the earth is spinning the effect of gravity is less ...
