The Batter’s Eye: City Without Baseball

City Without Baseball (2008, directed by Lawrence Ah Mon and Scud) is notable in that it stars real Hong Kong baseball players as the characters. Also, there’s a lot of male nudity. The movie revolves around a vague love triangle plot between rookie relief pitcher, […]

Christmas in Soulsville - Various Artists Tree has been decorated! Boston -- Boston I bought this at a used bookstore. The crafts seem to date from the early 1950s to the early 1970s. I have such a soft spot for vintage crafts -- yes, you get a lot of straight up weird things but there's also cool things I never thought of and want to try. It was a good purchase. Happy Thanksgiving! I thought my DVD of Tsui Hark's All About Women was long gone, but nope! I still have it! It was cold today but the forest was pretty. I love how close nature is to me here. Florence and the Machine - Everybody Scream I've started making gel plate prints. I'm still learning but it's been a fun process. It's a little unpredictable but that is part of why I enjoy it. I look forward to doing more (It's been ... maybe a week? And I haven't done it every day.  I'm already impressed with my progress.)
