Text of the page (random words):
instead they ll be singing from their homes across the country via video link in a video produced for the occasion mark williams the informator choristarum at magdalen college has been working with the 28 members of the choir over the last few weeks to complete new virtual renditions of the hymnus eucharisticus and a traditional madrigal for may morning may morning is a highlight of our calendar said mark so when i mentioned the idea of a virtual may morning to the choir everyone was delighted to take part it s been tricky to get everyone all together but i am glad that the members of the choir have thrown themselves into this we re pleased that we will still be able to celebrate may morning with the magdalen community and with thousands of others this year you can watch this very special may morning performance on their webpage https www magdalencollegechoir com posted in current events issues wtf come tweet about me posted on 12 october 2019 12 october 2019 by kelly russell saturday morning my weekend commences had to make myself a list this morning of the many destabilizing actions of president trump on all fronts domestically internationally psychologically environmentally slice it anyway you like make your own venn diagrams the purpose of my list was to get it out of my head and down on paper so i can focus on something besides the national nightmare that is the trump presidency i mean we all need a break from time to time and i have a big writing project in the hopper it was also to take a comprehensive look at how trump s actions undermine u s democracy and serve vladimir putin writing in the ny times october 11 2019 jennifer senior quotes brian baird on the republicans they live in fear that the narcissist will turn on them senior continues so they try to manage the unmanageable they keep two sets of books function with two different brains and buy in at least partly to trump s grandiose message you d be worthless without me the republicans won t don t stand up to trump meanwhile everything trump does serves putin russia is winning bigly bret stephens ny times october 11 2019 lays out possible scenarios resulting from trump s order to withdraw u s troops from syria it will put thousands of kurdish lives in jeopardy it will deepen tehran s influence in syria it will increase the likelihood of an all out war between israel and iran it will underscore the inefficacy of u s sanctions to curb tehran s ambitions it will ratify the wisdom of vladimir putin s decision to intervene on assad s behalf it will strengthen turkish strongman recep tayyip erdogan s hand not only in northern syria but also in turkish politics just as he was finally beginning to experience serious reversals and it will fundamentally jeopardize the gains made against the islamic state around 10 000 of whose fighters are in the custody of the kurdish forces who are now being attacked it also increases the likelihood that turkey will tell the u s to take our fighter jets nukes and other goodies and get out germany already got out of turkey and moved to jordan let s not forget trump s many anti nato statements when i think about the geopolitical and environmental destruction being foisted on the u s and the world by the trump administration i doubt but keep hoping that republicans will make their way to the land of oz and find their brains their hearts and their courage this is about not overturning the results of the 2016 election it is a rational response to the psychic trauma and international tragedy of the trump presidency what trump sees on the men s room door posted in film thank you marc shaiman posted on 15 february 2019 15 february 2019 by kelly russell i love movie soundtracks i love to be gobsmacked by music today i was gobsmacked by the film score for mary poppins returns by marc shaiman so i wrote him a letter dear mr shaiman thank god i ended up working late tonight because driving home i heard you on the radio on jim svejda s show on kusc i thoroughly enjoyed your conversation with jim i m about the same age as you are and have a similar veneration of the original mary poppins film and score it was a delight to hear about your love of the older film and an even bigger delight to hear about your time with richard sherman what comes first the idea comes first brilliant i made the mistake of watching trump s press conference today before i got out of bed i was so disgusted that i literally could not get out of bed until 1 00 pm i could barely drive to work but music helped me recover on the way there specifically outstanding by the gap band so it was a perfect bookend to drive home and hear some of your wonderful score for mary poppins returns i haven t seen the film yet i now feel like i have a recover from trump soundtrack i plan to listen to the whole album many times this weekend so that i have it in my head to carry with me forever to remind me that one asshole in the white house will not ultimately prevail despite his power and hatred and racism and what appears to be his success at wreaking havoc on our nation no love will prevail eventually and ultimately the place where lost things go is especially meaningful to me because i am a military brat as a kid i moved a lot and also lived overseas like all military kids i had and then lost a lot of friends along the way facebook has helped quite a few of us reconnect but we still have some lost people your song at once recognizes that loss and gives me hope for dear friends that i still miss thank you for that my deepest gratitude to you mr shaiman you deserve the oscar and if you don t win know that you have my undying pity but know that if you do win i ll be jumping up and down and screaming and ugly crying tears of joy you ve made me one happy shiksa tonight blessings to you and lou much love and peace kelly posted in england green pleasant land tv the detectorists posted on 10 december 2018 by kelly russell this is a writing challenge because i cannot say enough good things about the detectorists from the bbc it s simply the best television show i ve seen in years i won t compare it to other tv shows i really love or loved because all of the ones i really loved were years ago i won t compare it because i don t want those other shows to feel bad about themselves the detectorists character names lance and andy are written as ordinary people with foibles and a lampoon able hobby you will cringe on behalf of the main characters as they make inexplicable and poor choices and all the while you will be rooting for them you will chuckle you will become privy to the language of metal detecting and the descriptions of the finds if you re an american there will be things you don t understand finding a ring pull from an aluminum can lance says tizer it s a soft drink kestral super it s a beer mate you will appreciate the camera s long close ups on the flowers and creepy crawlies in the fields the wide shots of the east anglian countryside are calming a welcome balm especially if you are a city dweller in need of space relief you too will want to have a cuppa sitting under the big tree even if you aren t a detectorist there are few ways to spend a day more pleasant than being in a field under a vast expanse of blue sky mackenzie crook the writer director actor who birthed the series has given us something singular and unique thank you mc for a series with heart and soul thank you bbc for letting mc have free rein and free reign pub go on then _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ the ringer detectorists when people find it and realise what it is they hold it close to them posted in grindstone work conference room kerfluffle posted on 5 september 2018 by kelly russell life at work bumped from conference room edition dear coworker our program meeting is a standing meeting that was scheduled for the 2nd floor conference room before the scheduling conflict in the 3rd floor conference room arose i understand that your important program standing meeting dropped off the 3rd floor conference room calendar if there is a scheduling conflict with your very important program meeting i would suggest that you inform the planner of that conflicting meeting that your super very important program meeting takes precedence as per dr grand pooh bah and other pooh bah if the planner of the conflicting meeting can move into an available slot in the 2nd floor conference room that s great but it is not appropriate to bump a standing meeting from the 2nd floor just because there was a conflict on the 3rd floor with your so incredibly important it cannot ever be moved meeting floor numbers have been changed to protect the innocent posted in altadena books friends bookishly yours posted on 26 may 2018 29 may 2018 by kelly russell my friend karin passed away two months ago she wasn t one to share her troubles so her friends didn t know she was ill at her passing we were gobsmacked if you knew her or read her writing you know how clever and funny she was she really was she hated links in blog posts but she ll have to endure this one altadena hiker generally speaking books the physical things that have spines and pages and take up space well those wonderful objects now rest in the delicate balance between these are the best objects ever and what ever will we do with all these karin departed with no plan for her earthly possessions on the last day her house was being emptied i rescued her books from the dumpster i don t have room for any more books so i ve been driving them around in my car all week along with her dusty leather jacket and a london fog raincoat she wore in the 80 s and a wall hanging that covered a big hole in her bedroom

quite literally snatched off the dump bound truck along with making the san fernando valley rural landscapes urban development and white privilege by laura barraclough one of the guys cleaning out the house asked if i were going to give the books to a library my mind flashed on the huge library sale scheduled for the weekend even libraries are shedding their books these days i don t know what to make of a world without physical books i don t know what to make of a world without karin posted in altadena friends uncategorized community posted on 29 march 2018 31 may 2018 by kelly russell you wrote that you were ill but knowing how private you are i didn t ask you to elaborate even asking a simple question would have felt like prying so i didn t ask nor did i offer help but this post is not about beating myself up after the fact cultured well read well travelled funny and clever you had your theories about life and people and they always rang true you had a command of words your writing was funny wistful charming i found this book on your desk and it is a shame you are not in it but you wrote about your own mother in this post brilliant tim wrote a poem for you when walking on a hardwood floor she preferred to be bare footed when sharing foodie wonders more green lipped mussels would be assure ed her sport twixt equus and tennis soared with blinding thought awareness karin your somber elegant vibe hiked out in blogger even fairness to all such fancy we celebrate the watchful eye you fathomed whilst conjuring life s circuitous course a leaping o er the chasm posted in cool stuff twelfth night with a pasadena twist posted on 6 january 2018 6 january 2018 by kelly russell christmas music is a wonderful thing made terrible by repeated play over a short period of time compounded by the more popular tunes being played ad nauseam while perfectly wonderful music is left by the wayside i suppose i ll be waiting for pop radio to play the rebel jesus by jackson browne for years to come a christmas tune popped into my head some children see him i ve heard the james taylor version it was written by alfred s burt who wrote a christmas carol each year a tradition started by his father bates g burt the elder burt was an episcopal priest who wrote a carol every year to include with his christmas cards son alfred studied jazz at the university of michigan and he continued the tradition collaborating with wilha hutson after the elder burt passed away albert burt s carols gained popularity and an album called the christmas mood was released in 1954 shortly after his untimely passing at age 33 lung cancer i m not familiar with all the burt carols but i love choral music and who can argue with four part harmonies why i love the internet part 93 a little clicking around and i discovered that alfred burt s older brother was john h burt an episcopal priest like their father bates g burt john burt was rector of all saints pasadena 1957 1967 and cemented all saints tradition of being at the forefront of civil rights issues from his obituary in the los angeles times a friend of the rev martin luther king jr bishop burt helped organize massive civil rights rallies in los angeles including a 1963 event in south los angeles that attracted 30 000 people he also was a vocal supporter of césar chávez and the farm workers movement the carol tradition continues with diane bates burt daughter of alfred burt and abbie burt betinis granddaughter of john burt wow listen to this what a remarkable family posted in around town uncategorized rose parade 2016 posted on 1 january 2016 1 january 2016 by kelly russell on tv the rose parade looks orderly polished once the parade gets past the network cameras it s real life and real people they say never to view the parade from the north side of colorado boulevard because the floats are built to look good for the cameras located on the south side and as the parade goes on the sun rises right into your eyes i stood on the north side anyway because it was nice to feel the warmth of the sun parades are like coconut or cilantro you either like them or you don t i like parades oh i know the rose parade is corporate and blah blah blah the floats are beautiful and half the fun for me is being in a crowd of people who are having fun the disney float was a crowd pleaser one need not watch the batchelor to appreciate this float and one need not include said batchelor in the photo either another hometown crowd pleaser the two young women standing next to me made a point of staying to see this one i like it that flowers are fashioned into things terrifying and beautiful and into things whimsical the parade had its usual fits and starts this year big spaces between entries traffic jams during which the parade stopped and dancers performed for 5 minutes straight and bless their hearts they still had five miles to go and floats...
