I Was Just About T–
There’s no way to say this without coming across kinda princess-y and precious, but I was sending out my thank you cards from Christmas (yes, about a month late, thanks), and I noticed that one of the gifts purchased from my Amazon.com wish list never arrived. If you sent me The Donnas, I didn’t get…

Between Shows
So last night, we sold out. That’s how it goes in theatre, I guess. I’m unused to how LA theatre works, but it appears that Megyn Price, our special guest of the night, has a good group of friends, the LA Times article helped, the Daily Bruin article helped, and the constant whining, bitching and…

Quietly.
It’s 11:00 on a Friday night. I’m home alone. I’m wearing socks, shoes, jeans, a t-shirt, a heavy blue hoodie sweatshirt and a scarf. I’m still freezing. I’ve been sick for three days, and I just did my show. Despite the good review in today’s LA Times, we had a very small house. The smallest…

Glow-Tape reminds me of…

I Love It. I Love It. I Truly, Truly Love It.
Those are the opening lines to the show, and they’ve been pretty much playing in a loop inside my brain for two weeks. I am currently swimming in this show, surrounded in work. The copyeditor’s notes arrived today on the novel. It looks like a completely different language. I have to dive into the novel…

In the Clutch.
Oh, man. It’s already 2003. Sorry I’ve been so absent. I had a good excuse, though. December was just the craziest month. First I was in Vegas, and then I was in Atlanta, and then Houston and then San Francisco, so I really didn’t get even a moment to come here and say hello to…

The Apology.
Dear Child That I Don’t Have, But Might Have Someday, I feel I owe you an apology. You see, yesterday afternoon I got a clear vision of your future, and… I’m sorry to say, it doesn’t look pretty. Oh, it’s all innocent enough, but I got a glimpse of what it’ll be like for you…
