PopCornucopia

PopCornucopia is all about free associative pop culture tidbits as they strike my fancy, just like kernels of corn exploding into fullness at a random and unpredictable pace. And of course, the cornucopia is the horn of plenty.

It should have been a dogg.

And that made this get stuck in my head:




Guess I'm getting no sleep tonight.

Dutch grass

As always, the bifurcation of my blogosphere is split thus:

Here at PopCornucopia, you'll get my musings on pop culture, often with critical slant, as well as any arts and entertainment rocking my world. Over at The Avera Palimpsest, you can always find the personal life updates,the travelogues, the newsworthy, and the serious social justice reflection.

If you head over there now, you'll find links to my pictorial accounts of my short trip to Germany and a walk around in my temporary Leiden neighborhood (until the lease on my apartment starts and I move into the city center).

But don't take this is a guarantee that I'll be back in full blogging force. Indeed, this is the lull just before classes start, so we'll see how my time management shakes down. But I hope to be able to serve you more kernels of Pop! Perhaps even some Dutch pop fun...

For now, a little XTC to celebrate my arrival in the verdant Netherlands:

Please excuse me while I move to the Netherlands

Yep, I will do my utmost to post some good stuff in here once again, but life's just gotten in the way.

The blogging dropoff is largely due to the manic activity of the last three weeks of my job, with a jazz festival, camp and residency program going at full force, and being marooned on the island that is Stanford. Thankfully, the storm from that weather front has subsided.

Alas, further complications have lead me to moving to a faraway place that requires international wire transfers, deciphering the indecipherable, and the general stress of relocation at a breakneck pace. So until that is fully in swing, don't expect anything regular.

Thanks for your patience and understanding of the intermittent nature of posting in the coming weeks.
