"AS I LIVE AND BREATHE, YOU HAVE KILLED ME"

Every year on New Years’ Eve, or New Year’s Day, I write some kind of inventory. I think about the past year, good and bad, successes and failures, wrong turns and happy accidents and then I think about what I want the coming year to look like, how I hope for it to manifest and [...]

"DISPLAYING YOUR NAME"

I just woke up with a jolt and decided that tonight, right now, is the moment to make an announcement. Ladies and gentlemen, girls, guys and otherwise, the moment you’ve all been, I’m sure, eagerly awaiting! The winner of the “What I Did With Her Book” Contest is…
(drumroll)
Ms. Melissa Snyder of Seattle, WA, who so [...]

"THIS NIGHT HAS OPENED YOUR EYES"

My friend, Orieyenta tagged me and you all know I’m a sucker for a good tag. She wants six weird things about me, on my blog, pronto. Um, only six? Ooookay.
1. I will stop everything and go to the store to buy more handcream and lip-something (balm, stick, gloss, whatever) if I find myself without. [...]

"YOU MUST PLEASE REMEMBER"

I went to the art store last night and bought canvasses. Two big canvasses and three new tubes of paint. It was wonderful. Wonnnnderful. I’m so excited, I can’t even tell you. I am officially in the middle of my end of the year thing. I’m cleaning and organizing drawers and closets and just taking [...]

"HOW SOON IS NOW?"

Back from lockdown. Is there anything better than the minutes just after meeting a deadline? Nope. It’s just about the most satisfying feeling ever. It’s stressful and tense and then, suddenly, the weight of the world is lifted and you can friggin’ focus on your life again. It also means that I can end my [...]

"I DON’T MIND IF YOU FORGET ME (JUST FOR TODAY)"

Hi kids. I’m under a wicked deadline today. Correction, I’m under three deadlines today. Not that I’m complaining. I’ll take them all. I love them! Hooray! Deadlines!
Anyway, wanted to check in. CF&M (Chinese Food and a Movie) Day went swimmingly. Found a decent platter of General Tso’s tofu with my name on it and [...]

"OTHER VOICES"

Last night, I went out to Knishmas and had a blast. Everyone go over to Jewish Fringe and tell Mr. Mensch (Adam Davis) what a kickass job he did putting it all together.
That was me in the pigtails getting the hora going. Both times. Sure, I had help, but, um yeah, that was me [...]

"SPLINTERED IN THE HEAD"

I have another piece over on Six Sentences today. Look at me bein’ all melancholy and mysterious and vague, huh?
In other news, this is fucking stupid.
Merry Ho-ho, if that’s your thing, by the way.
