A sidewalk-level view of Redwood City, California. Skip to primary content. July 24, 2015. Recently I noticed a pair of articles about the old Century Park 12 theater property on East Bayshore Road (on the northeast side of 101, near Whipple Avenue). The first was in the Silicon Valley Business Journal. And can be found here. The second, which summarizes the project and adds some detail, was published in the San Mateo Daily Journal. It can be found here. And dined at the Waterfront Restaurant. The proper...

8230;made out of words. On this page I’m keeping an archive of quotes that appear under the header of. Made out of Words…. The world sometimes seems like a chessboard where the pieces move themselves. I’m never sure what square to go to. Yet it can’t be a difficult game. Most folk play it instinctively. The world reveals itself to those who travel on foot. Kafka on the Shore. As I lay there it occurred to me that my thoughts were becoming incoherent, which wasn’t unusual. Sustained for a phrase...Notify ...

8230;made out of words. March 30, 2015. March 30, 2015. I’ve been here many times. And taken many photographs;. What’s become of them, I’ve no idea, although. None stand comparison to memory. No hard drive’s yet been built to beat. The soft stuff in our heads. Late March: it’s cool, but not too cool. The sun is low and turns the peaks. Of small waves into lights. That flicker on and off. Geese. Brush them with their wing-tips this. Is an aerodrome for geese, though built. Unlike the human kind) for peace.

Play it again… | …made out of words
https://sackerson.wordpress.com/2015/02/22/play-it-again
8230;made out of words. Play it again…. February 22, 2015. February 22, 2015. I realise that society channels us into repetitive routines but even when the constraints of work and so on are removed we still tend to seek out repetition. When we’ve enjoyed something we immediately start wondering when we can do it again. Liked eating at an Indian Restaurant? Let’s do it again next week. Enjoyed watching TV? Yes, I say, for some reason. I’m not even a farmer. What am I thinking of? And if he found he enjoye...

8230;made out of words. August 1, 2015. August 1, 2015. Another reason for the inactivity is that I’ve simply spent time doing other things, one of the more pleasant of which has been reading more books. Two stand out in my mind: Robert Macfarlane’s Landmarks and Roger Deakin’s Wildwood. Am I just reading about humankind tearing the planet apart the way, when I was a kid, one could turn on BBC2 and watch lions tearing up wildebeest? He quotes the Victorian nature-writer Richard Jeffries. Through the long...

8230;made out of words. August 30, 2015. August 31, 2015. Herr: es ist Zeit. Der Sommer war sehr groß. Leg deinen Schatten auf die Sonnenuhren,. Und auf den Fluren laß die Winde los. Befiel den letzten Früchten voll zu sein;. Gib ihnen noch zwei südlichere Tage,. Dränge sie zur Vollendung hin und jage. Die letzte Süße in den schweren Wein. Wer jetzt kein Haus hat, baut sich keines mehr. Wer jetzt allein ist, wird es lange bleiben,. Wird wachen, lesen, lange Briefe schreiben. Et the wind blow on. Finally,...

https://sackerson.wordpress.com/2014/11
8230;made out of words. November 23, 2014. November 23, 2014. Last week, a group of us got together to go for a walk in the Lake District. We had high ambitions -Great Gable and Scafell Pike perhaps? But, given the hours of daylight available we settled on a more modest plan. The Eastern side of the Lakes would be easier for us to get to: we decided to go to Haweswater reservoir and climb High Street instead. However, Roman road or no Roman road, it is still the case that. With order and relation. Ck and...

8230;made out of words. Tell Tchaikovsky the News. August 4, 2015. August 4, 2015. If you invent anything you never know where it will end. It could be anything from some all-consuming masterwork to nothing more than whistling a tune you don’t remember anyone whistling before. Images, texts, pieces of music percolate through culture and history in the most amazing ways. It must be one of the great joys of creativity. Beethoven (and Tchaikovsky for that matter) could have had no idea:. Making Music →.
