Category Archives: The ArtsMamacita says: This topic has been on my mind lately (as usual), so I’m re-running this post from March of 2008.
Oh please, society, let us learn from the past, just a little bit?
“Francie thought it was the most beautiful church in Brooklyn. It was made of old gray stone and had twin spires [...]
Mamacita says: I am not, by any stretch of the imagination, exactly a spring chicken these days, but when the time comes that I stop asking questions, they can bury me. In fact, they should. What possible use is a person who doesn’t ask questions and seek answers? Can’t think of a thing.
I’m not presumptuous [...]
Mamacita says: Do you know what I miss, especially at this time of the year? Variety shows.
Those weekly shows hosted by Ed Sullivan, Andy Williams, The Smothers Brothers, Sonny and Cher, Glen Campbell, Dean Martin, Carol Burnett, Perry Como, Flip Wilson. . . Laugh-In. . . The Muppet Show. . . . John Gary. [...]
Mamacita says:
My all-time favorite Christmas movie is still Love Actually. That doesn’t mean, however, that I don’t like any other Christmas movies.
There’s nothing like a zany Christmas movie like “Mixed Nuts” to really get me in the holiday mood. It’s Steve Martin back when he was cute and funny and cool, like WAYYYY before [...]
Mamacita says: Heinrich Heine was the center of various controversies almost all of his adult life. Born a Jew, he later converted to Catholicism: not for the right reasons, but for convenience’s sake. He has been quoted as such: “. . . (conversion) was ‘the ticket of admission into European culture.’”. and “As [...]
Mamacita says: A huge thank-you to Super Cool School for posting this video.
Billy Madison’s speech made everyone in the room dumber, but Itay Talgam not only makes the world smarter: he makes the world smile. Somehow, watching this gentleman makes me feel better about the world, and even about. . . me. And that, [...]
Mamacita says: I’ve posted about this subject before, but with the approach of holiday season, it’s on my mind again, so I’ve written a new post about this same thing.
We’re tired. We work all day and in the evenings, we deserve a few hours to rest, eat, and just, well, unwind. We deserve some time [...]
Mamacita says: I first encountered Gerard Manley Hopkins’ Spring and Fall and Robert Burns’ John Anderson, My Jo in a college course. Unfortunately, the professor was a jaded, bored, boring man who considered himself far too important to be teaching a group of eager undergrads, and who turned every selection into a joke. Both poems, [...]
Mamacita says: My obsession with writing has extended itself over into Quotation Saturday!
1. There’s nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and open a vein. –Walter Wellesley “Red” Smith
2. The role of a writer is not to say what we all can say, but [...]
Obi’s Sister has tagged me for a meme. It’s been a while since I’ve done one of these, and I will have to say that not only do I learn things about my friends that I honestly didn’t know before; I learn things about myself that I probably knew but had filed away somewhere and [...]
