The official site of Kelly Sedinger: Reader, writer, photographer, and dreamer
Late to the punch today, for which I apologize. Yesterday marks the twenty-fifth anniversary of the passing of one of my personal heroes, conductor and composer Leonard Bernstein. He was, in many ways, the Carl Sagan of music, able to explain and illustrate things about music in ways that have influenced my own ways of thinking about music ever since. He was also an astonishingly gifted musician.
Thank you for the music, Lenny!
The city of Niagara Falls, NY has decided that it wants to engage children in its push for recycling. To this end, they have created a mascot for this effort.
Ladies and gentlemen, meet…Totes McGoats.
Yes, this is real.
It’s Costume Season! I saw this creative one on Facebook this morning:
Got any plans to do the costume thing this Halloween? And if so, what’s the costume? If not, what’s the best costume you’ve ever seen?
Here’s some stuff!
:: An article on “holloways”. These are very old roadways, paths, and thoroughfares whose courses have been literally worn into the ground to the point where they are almost tunnels or walled passages.
:: Yet another hypothesis on the identity of Jack the Ripper. I’ll be reading this book, because it sounds fascinating.
:: Sunset selfies. A guy lived on an island for a while, and he took the habit of making cardboard cutouts of animals or Disney characters or other things, with which he posed in front of the sunset, making wonderful silhouetted vignettes. Via Cal.
More next week. Unless there’s not.
Hey! New stuff on the Official Site! In this case, a case study on characterization from the great old comic strip Calvin and Hobbes*. And if you’re not paying attention over there, you should really start because pretty soon I’ll start ramping up with content pertaining to November’s release of The Wisdomfold Path! Check it out!
* Yes, I know “case study” sounds pretentious. It’s what I’m going with, though!
