sing out loud
Overheard this weekend as I walked back to my table after finishing a heartfelt rendition of “A Natural Woman”: [scripty] Guy #1 That’s hot. Guy #2 “That’s Hot?” Guy#3 Well… [/scripty] I was talking about this with Dan last night, how I always enter the Karaoke joint thinking, “Tonight I’ll just play it cool. Sit…

Proof I’m Turning Into My Mother #370 (in a series of 1000)
Yesterday I checked a book out of the library that I realized this morning I’ve already read. This year. I checked out from the same library, which means its the exact same book.

W is for Waiting and Writing… and Wedding… and Work… and Wow.
So here’s what it’s like, these days, to be me. It’s what it’s like to live this life, this place where each day is as unpredictable as the next. This morning we planned our honeymoon around Sundance, because stee and Frank are finalists for the filmmaker’s lab. They won’t know until December 17th if they…

Party Girl #4 Rocks!
Want to see Buttleman, the movie starting one talented stee (and Deadwood‘s John Hawkes), directed by one talented Francis Stokes, with music from the incredibly talented Adam Blau and a cameo of yours truly?

Gilmore Girls Recap 5.9
She Seems To Have an Invisible Touch: She reaches in and makes you feel like you’ve done something wrong, but you’re not quite sure what it is, but she’s mad and you can tell by the pout on her face that all the free food in the world isn’t going to fix. Is it something…

Three Questions
A few months ago I was asked to write a piece for Fresh Yarn. It was the first thing I ever brought to our writing group (which I hope stee starts up again soon). I’ve been a fan of this site from the beginning and have been anxiously waiting for my piece to go online.…

Me, Me, Me, Blah, Blah, Blah
Sometimes the week gets away from me, in terms of this website. When that happens, when a huge week goes by and I haven’t been writing about it, the thought of trying to catch up can seem quite daunting. I’m having one of those weeks when I wonder why we have this relationship, you and…

Tea For You
I’m jealous of all the Northern California people who could go to this High Tea. Dan and I had high tea a few months ago, and part of us will always be at Casa Del Mar, sharing a salmon finger sandwich. I’m pimping the Sugarplum Tea not just because it’s being thrown by our pretty,…
