Very Mark McCormick: January 2011

http://www.verymarkmccormick.com/2011_01_01_archive.html

Highly subjective ramblings about culture. Sunday, January 30, 2011. Mad Women: See Me. When the universe aligns to make an entire weekend's events thematically connected, it's really cool. When that alignment delivers four very satisfying and. Thematically linked cultural events, well that's proof of the existence of Saraswati, the Indian goddess of knowledge, music, and the arts. And when you learn something about yourself though art, that's, for me, a peak experience. Now: go see it and please write m...

Highly subjective ramblings about culture. Wednesday, June 10, 2009. Something Old, Two Things New. 1 I was on vacation and the only DVD in the house was Ice Storm.

Very Mark McCormick: Diagnosis: Cancer. Prognosis: Promising

http://www.verymarkmccormick.com/2010/08/diagnosis-cancer-prognosis-promising.html

Highly subjective ramblings about culture. Tuesday, August 17, 2010. Diagnosis: Cancer. Prognosis: Promising. There's been a lot of press about The Big C on Showtime with Laura Linney as a woman newly diagnosed with cancer and her choice not to tell anyone. Read the New York Times review and the New Yorker review if you want the professional opinions. The verymarkmccormick opinion after one episode is that it's better than I expected and I think you have the opportunity (again! Posted by Mark McCormick.

Very Mark McCormick: Tara Tara Tara

http://www.verymarkmccormick.com/2009/02/tara-tara-tara.html

Highly subjective ramblings about culture. Monday, February 2, 2009. I'm watching The United States of Tara, third episode. There are about a thousand things I like about this show. Here are a few:. 1 The premise. When I was a kid I couldn't get enough of split personality books and movies (Sybil, I Never Promised You a Rose Garden). This show is about a woman with associative identity disorder. Which is, apparently, a controversial diagnosis. Who cares? Dreamboat from Sex and the City and (remember?

Very Mark McCormick: Shameful if you don't catch Shameless

http://www.verymarkmccormick.com/2011/01/shameful-if-you-dont-catch-shameless.html

Highly subjective ramblings about culture. Monday, January 10, 2011. Shameful if you don't catch Shameless. The characters are just introduced in the pilot, and the story revolves around two siblings, the oldest sister, age unclear, but probably 20 or so, who is trying to keep it altogether, for this crumbling family. (All the kids are involved in crime in one way or another. You even wonder about the toddler.). Posted by Mark McCormick. January 10, 2011 at 11:07 PM. January 12, 2011 at 11:09 AM. The Kid...

Paul Mc's blog: West Bay

http://paulmcsblog.blogspot.com/2009/08/west-bay.html

Tuesday, August 18, 2009. Back in Dorset. Lovely place lovely weather. I promised myself I'd try to. Omething of the crazy cliffs in West Bay and Burton Bradstock. All this area was a river delta millions of years ago and the ebb and flow of the water has resulted in really striking strata. Add some uplifting (? And erosion and you get something very unique. It feels like the setting for the closing. Sequence of Planet Of The Apes. You blew it up! God damn you all to hell! But either way you get the idea.

:: minor thread ::: Fixation :: Izola's Apothecary Style

http://typewright.blogspot.com/2011/09/fixation-izolas-apothecary-style.html

Wednesday, September 21, 2011. Fixation : Izola's Apothecary Style. I'm a sucker for the ephemera from other times. My favorite local watering hole is a subtle tribute to the saloons of the Barbary Coast- full of old apothecary and seltzer bottles, big and burly wooden counters and cabinets, bartenders with just the right mix of handlebar mustache and punk rock. So it's no surprise that I fell immediately in love with the goods from Izola. And probably my favorite part of the collection- the curvy, chrom...
