Gurldoggie: Once More Onto the Beach, Dear Friends
http://gurldogg.blogspot.com/2013/07/once-more-onto-beach-dear-friends.html
Saturday, July 13, 2013. Once More Onto the Beach, Dear Friends. It's the time of year for my annual sojourn in and around Barcelona. I'll be gone for a month or so, enjoying the sights, sounds, smells and flavors of Mediterranean Spain, and posting an occasional tidbit on this here blog. Tidbits such as this very clever 90 second history of Catalan moderisme, created by the Barcelona design team TigreLab. Enjoy, and have a hell of a summer wherever you happen to read Gurldoggie.

The Man From Porlock: Roger & Remembrance
http://themanfromporlock.blogspot.com/2013/04/roger-remembrance.html
The Man From Porlock. Distracting you with movies, TV, books and other shiny objects. Friday, April 5, 2013. It was a nebulous joke I'd tried out before, unsuccessfully, with professional Darwinists possessing a more evolved sense of humor. For Roger, though, who decades ago cut his teeth as a sportswriter before finding his true calling, my appropriation of a famous Yogi Berra-ism hit the sweet spot. He retweeted it. Then he started rummaging through my blog, linking first to a review. On one of their m...

The Man From Porlock: Movies 2013: A View From a Tiny Corner
http://themanfromporlock.blogspot.com/2013/12/movies-2013-big-year-from-tiny-corner.html
The Man From Porlock. Distracting you with movies, TV, books and other shiny objects. Saturday, December 28, 2013. Movies 2013: A View From a Tiny Corner. The first "Top 10 Movies" list I ever wrote was for my high school newspaper, with Peter Weir's Witness. Would I get down with this thing called "formalism"? Would I be a contrarian, or a counter-contrarian? Would I put on my Word Police badge every time I see "overrated" used in a sentence, while deeming "underrated" acceptable parlance? Is the year's...

The Man From Porlock. Distracting you with movies, TV, books and other shiny objects. Saturday, January 12, 2013. The Devil Inside ( Zero Dark Thirty. Shortly before Zero Dark Thirty. Ghosts are haunting, indeed clouding the reception of the movie as well, namely the specter of Abu Ghraib that Bigelow and screenwriter Mark Boal - to either their credit or detriment - revive. As everybody knows by now, Zero Dark Thirty. Is saying "torture works.". That the initial torturing of Ammar does not. In fact, acc...

Gurldoggie: "Watching the Equinox Arrive in Charlottesville, September 1992"
http://gurldogg.blogspot.com/2013/09/watching-equinox-arrive-in.html
Saturday, September 21, 2013. Watching the Equinox Arrive in Charlottesville, September 1992". The season glides to a click. Nobody says a word. From where I sit, shadows dark flags from nothing’s country,. Birds in the deep sky, then not,. Cricket caught in the outback between a grass spear and a leaf. Is losing its leaves in the fall’s early chemotherapy,. And stick-stemmed spikes of the lemon tree. Spink in the sun. Autumnal outtakes, autumnal stills…. Mockingbird, sing me a song. So the Buddhists say.

Gurldoggie: Raised by Woods
http://gurldogg.blogspot.com/2013/09/riased-by-woods.html
Thursday, September 12, 2013. A perfect little documentary about Seattle artist No Touching Ground. Aka NTG, who recently returned to Seattle after an extended stay in Argentina. NTG has long explored the spaces within our urban environments that play host to wildlife, and this film is as direct a statement as you will ever see about his vision of the coyotes, wolves, bears and birds who once owned this land and will again.
