More Ramblings From Afar. IZ muses on Books, movies, music, etc. Thursday, 5 July 2007. God is Not Great. Of Christopher Hitchens' new book 'God is Not Great' here. This digested " summary. Of the book in the Guardian is worth a look in as well. Its absurd that this man is taken so seriously. Its setting the level of discussion of these issues to caveman standards.

Musings on Urban Domesticity. Time on my Hands. More often than not, I am inspired by what I see at the market. Whether it's the supermarket, the Haymarket or any one of the dozens of food boutiques and emporiums in and around Boston. Last week Stop and Shop had great little packs of Baby Bellas (small portabella mushrooms) and veal shanks packaged two to a pack. That sounds like it's just the right size for Thom and me! Oh, La Groceria - I miss you so! Posted on Nov. 10th, 2010 at 02:09 pm.

Just watch the first minute so you get an idea of what its all about. Then, please direct yourself to this clip. Which is essentially the same video except that some guy has decided to add a 'translation' based on the closest English words that approximate the lyrics. Wednesday, 27 June 2007.

More Ramblings From Afar. IZ muses on Books, movies, music, etc. Tuesday, 3 July 2007. These days I'm completely caught up listening to the Sabri Brothers. Specifically 'Saqia aur pila' which is available on their album ' Ya Habib. The version on the album is the real deal, kicking in at 27 minutes length. A truncated version, with not terribly great sound quality is available on youtube here. And a gentleman has taken up the task of translating the lyrics to English (and providing some commentary here.

More Ramblings From Afar. IZ muses on Books, movies, music, etc. Tuesday, 27 March 2007. Book Shelves as Art! I came across a link to this article on a LibraryThing forum. I always thought there was something aesthetically pleasing about book shelves but I must say this work of art looks rather nice. Apparently there actually are some people who shelve their books by colour! As for me, I first need to get more shelf space before I can get really creative with my shelving policy! The Motherlode of Books!
