Harry Potter and the Princeton gargoyle

Harry Potter gets on at the nine and three quarters platform to study wizardry at Hogwarts. Princeton students now get off at the dinky station to study Rowling’s writing.

It was only a question of time. Harry has come to Princeton.

As usual though, Princeton is a bit behind the times. Colleges across the country have been taking Mr. Potter’s magica to another level (is that possible? going beyond the supernatural?)

Yale is so much under Dumbledore’s spell that it has two (gasp) courses on Harry Potter. The first time travels (magic all around, eh?) back at an in depth analysis of the books we read as children. The second is a comparison of the Potter series to a Christian theological worldview. Yes ladies and gents, Harry Potter is being compared to a the Bible. Most-modern testament?

Other colleges espousing Pottermania: Columbia, Swarthmore, Lawrence University, University of Washington, Forstburg State University.

Blogosphere deflowered

I’m not going to lie. I love my blog. I’m in love with my blog. Every time I think of my new Toothpick Cords I immediately turn to my blog. I want this blog to have as many undulations and levels as do my cords. Coarse and sturdy from the outside yet velvety and soft upon closer look.

Alright excuse this excessive craze with my new pastime. As I was writing this I began to wonder: what’s the nature of love or obsession for something virtual. Is it lasting? Or does it crash and burn just like my computer on occasion? Will it go follow me anywhere like Verizone wireless? Or can I disconnect from my mind’s network of internet surfdome?

Regal face

I came across this Kingly face in a small street while meandering in Brooklyn. I love the colorful graffiti as a counterpart to Mr. King’s dull cement.

Systems of government meets stick figures

What happens when a stick-figure artist is asked to describe capitalism and vice versa? Look below. Have you ever considered hedonism as a system of government? I’m thinking Dionysus meets Holden Caulfield (“Catcher in the Rye” reference for non-literati) on the beaches of Hawaii. Complaints anyone? I think not.
