His name is Wilbur. Practical, but a dreamer and restless by nature, he wanted more out of life than rural Vermont could offer. “LA or bust!” he chortled one morning and set out with just the bristles on his back. Along the way he had many adventures and encountered some very strange folk. The closer to California he drew, the odder the personages. Free lovers. Mystics. Sketchy mavens. On the border of Nevada and California he began to have doubts. “Whatever am I doing?!?!” My friend Marisa took this photo the morning of the Great Charlotte Tractor Festival while we were on a walk to visit the magic tree with the handprint in the bark.

Josh Finkle makes handcrafted wooden toys, tables, chess pieces and hooks to hang things on. I like these toys based on recently extinct animals. They sure have lots of attitude.

“To Say Nothing of the Dog” by Connie Willis is the most brilliant book. Case in point: “It seems he’d been employed by a family who’d gone out to India, and he was unable to accompany them because of a sensitivity to curry.” A sensitivity to curry. Do you see what I mean???… Brilliant. I also really like Cole Rise’s photographs. Highly photoshopped, but ethereal and dreamy. Which is what I should be doing right now; being dreamy. I mean dreaming. I should be dreaming. But I’d like to be dreamy, too.

“One question: Do you need … someone, or do you need me? … Forget it, I don’t really care.” The John Cusack classic “Say Anything” turns 20 years old this year, and on Tuesday (November 3rd), mobs of Lloyd Dobler wanna-bes swarmed New York City to celebrate.

This is the first of a few video commentaries my friend Keith and I shot yesterday at the Quidditch World Cup at Middlebury College. It’s silly. Which begs the question, why am I so into this whole Quidditch World Cup thing? Well, first of all, I’m generally bored and underchallenged, and this is something that amuses me because it’s random and weird. Second of all, I like Harry Potter novels/movies. Third of all (third of all?), I think it’s cool that Muggle Quidditch was created in Vermont. Eva Sollberger I’m not. And I have a cold. But we had fun.

The 3rd annual Quidditch World Cup is just days away and Harry Potter is on my mind. I was doing a search for Quidditch photos but found this one instead. Someone is very skilled with Photoshop…
