1. What did you do in 2011 that you’d never done before? Entered a beauty pageant. It was for charity! Also, most of the other contestants were drag queens. I was interview on the radio for the first time this morning. I’ll let you know how that goes. Methinks I was a drag. 2. Did [...]
The Circle of Shameless Self-Promotion
“Seattle Wrote” profiled me as part of their ongoing series of local blogger interviews. Is it meta to post on my blog a link to a post on another blog in which I promote this blog? Either way, here it is.
Film Threat Review: Hall Pass
One would think that after nearly twenty years spent writing and directing movies, the Farrellys would be better at it. They started out OK. “There’s Something About Mary” and “Kingpin” are consistently funny. “Shallow Hal” is practically a heartwarming story with a good message. They haven’t done anything noteworthy since. After their latest offering, a [...]
2010 Year-End Meme
I don’t do memes that much anymore, but I still really like the year-end meme because it’s nice to reflect on the years as they whiz past. So let’s do this. 1. What did you do in 2010 that you’d never done before? Gave birth to and subsequently cared for a human life. Weird. I’ll [...]
A (Probably) Complete History of Weezer in Relation to Me
In response to one of his friends’ Facebook posts, a clip of Weezer playing live, my friend Mark found himself wondering why the band remained so popular after all these years. Since, once upon a time, I was in a Weezer cover band, he decided to ask me. In short, he wanted to understand “the [...]
Stepford Nightmares
I used to have nightmares about aliens and monsters, mean ex-boyfriends, school and the end of the world. Last night I dreamed I was making breakfast for the whole family. I couldn’t find anything because all of my kitchen supplies had been put back in the wrong place. Things kept boiling over on the stove [...]
The Short Grift
I’m not proud of this. But that’s why I feel like I should own up to it. Because it’s a lesson and I don’t want to make the same mistake again. I was scammed yesterday. I was a woman with a crying baby all alone in her house in the middle of the day. I [...]
Sorry, Blog
Most of my day has involved crying and puking. This baby shit is hard, and not in a funny “Mr. Mom” kind of way, but in a very real crying and puking way. She cries, I cry, she pukes, I get puked on, she’s hungry, I feed her and it starts all over again. Apparently [...]
What I’ve Been Working On
I know my posts have been sparse lately. This is why: I do plan to keep writing but it will probably take me a while to figure out how to balance it with being the best mom I can be. As much as I love complaining about Hollywood and politics, there’s something I love more [...]
Who wants flowers when you’re dead? Nobody.
In a way, it’s like he’s been dead for a long time. Isn’t that what a recluse wants? For the world to act as if he’s dead? But he wasn’t dead until now. And I already miss his crazy ass. Like nearly every American teenager, I first became familiar with J.D. Salinger when I read [...]
