Monday Hodgepodge
Jun. 6th, 2011 01:08 pmHazy sun and warm -- 91 now (32.8 degrees Celsius) and it will probably hit 100 (officially) for the first time this season today.
Hodgepodge:
A poetry rec. Dreamwidth has a![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
poetry comm and it's very good. Today's poem is really wonderful, about the brushes with mortality we all have, every day. It's Near Misses, by Laura Kasischke.
The Guardian has two excellent photo galleries up -- Wildlife in Madagascar (I love it that a frog species can be called Boophis bottae. Boophis. Heh. *is twelve*) AND The Residents of Gogol Street, Kiev. The latter gallery reminds me of Jacob Riis' New York tenement photos from the late 19th century. Also, "bursary" is a great word.
Watched Swing Kids the other night. It was ... entertaining. It is worth seeing for RSL fans -- he was 24 at the time, and he's got a wonderfully loose-limbed kind of gangly grace that's lovely to watch. And he really can dance. Also watched Russell Brand's Get Him to the Greek, which was fun and silly. And caught the last half of Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, which was way more fun and much better than I thought it would be.
And the Stanley Cup games this year are awesome. There, done.
