Measure for Measure
A couple of months ago my friend Liz and I went shopping. She was looking for a camisole for an upcoming show, so we hit a few lingerie stores. This, of course, led us to Victoria’s Secret. I felt conspicuous holding my Coffee Bean cup as I fingered lace tops, watching the salesladies watch me.…

“She’s So LA.”
Ugh. I did that thing where you get yourself all worked up to work out and then you over workout trying to be a bad ass and you feel bad for the rest of the day. Where I live there’s a reservoir with a track that runs around it. I guess it’s about 2.5 miles.…

No Money, Mo Problems
You know those days when you turn over your change jar and shake out all the quarters and then sadly you realize you have a bank account balance that would only please a twelve-year old? It’s one of those days. I hate stressing about money, and that’s the main thing going on today. I also…

Unique Artistic Vision and Semi-Worthy Poetry

Catastrophe
Downloading 164 pieces of email. I’ve got some time to kill. There are three cats now. I haven’t mentioned that before, but there are three cats. Taylor, Cal and Olive. Olive is new. She’s a girl. They didn’t all meet until the new house, so each one was like, “Where the hell am I? Oh,…
