"Is Nothing Sacred?"

"Oh great. Victoria Beckham is writing a blog. That just cheapens the entire thing; we don’t want to be a part of a club that would have her as a member.

According to People:

For the past few months, the former Posh Spice has been penning small missives to fans on her Web site, www.dvbstyle.com. In her latest post, titled "Greetings from L.A.," she gushes about moving to Los Angeles later this year, where her soccer star husband David will play for the L.A. Galaxy.

Is this self-promotion? Or is Posh Spice engaged in some kind of complicated, super-ironic self parody? She's mike-ed. Check the bunny ears by the store clerk or passer by at the beginning. And the spill?

And I swear Mrs. Beckham almost walked right into that door. And who's the smoker, by the door, who is so remarkably unengaged by the "action?"]


'I've been so touched by the support from all the people we've met," she writes. "People in the street have been calling out things like 'Welcome home, we're so excited you're here.' That has been fantastic, and one of the best things about this trip.'

This entire madness over the Beckhams moving to LA is getting obnoxious..."

Me, I think it's an interesting twist on meta this 'n' that -- commercialism, imperialism...vapidness wrapped in an enigma with a fish taco.

(another shot at a soccer revival at a time when video games are so g'dam real there's no need to watch t.v., anyone?...)

Naomie Kremer's Ghosts

As part of the Magnes WINDOWS series , the latest installation is by Israeli-born, Berkeley-living artist Naomie Kremer . The WINDOWS series was launched to use the Magnes new facility to positive effect, namely as public art to be viewed at night: to bring more cultural content to downtown Berkeley and in the evenings when the street traffic is less -- to light up the night. Kremer's opening was this evening and we had a really nice turn out, including important local patrons of the arts, collectors etc. Here pictured are Jeff and Jane Green , Penny Cooper (one of the Bay Area's finest collections, focused primarily on women artists with her wife Rena Rosenwasser ). Here Naomie introduces her video piece on Bluebeard's Castle, by Bela Bartok .

Review: Macbeth

Macbeth by William Shakespeare My rating: 4 of 5 stars Four and a half stars, with one major flaw: the producers chose to do this funny little trick of overlaying Cumming's voices when he was multiple characters, namely three weird sisters when they spoke at once. The result was echo-y and distracting. Otherwise, the whole thing felt like the smartest guy in the neighborhood inviting you over to listen to him read, and you cared: knew the story and really wanted to hear how he delivered. It was intimate and rewarding. It also made me think about how it is a story of Scots and English. View all my reviews
