I had a bit of a to-do to attend tonight, and in somewhat of the capacity of host/emcee. I was kind of excited about having an appropriate occasion at which I could wear the stunning new top I bought when I was last in the big city.
(It occurs to me now that I never did [...]

Sweet dreams, baby

I know we all sometimes dream we can fly, and everyone eventually will have the dream about being naked and having to give a public talk, or sitting for an exam we never studied for in a class we never attended, and then there’s always the old chestnut of all your teeth falling out for [...]

Back when he was alive, Edward Gorey used to live around here. Then, sadly, he died, and he didn’t leave a forwarding address.
But I know his old address, and that’s where I went last night for a most delightful soiree. Seems they unearthed some of the original sketches for The Gashleycrumb Tinies, and are putting [...]

It’s Dad day, which is a good day for me, since I happen to have lucked into having pretty much the coolest Dad ever. So when other people are half-heartedly sucking up to their progenitors, I am filled with the glow of non-hypocrisy on an officially hypocritical Hallmark Holiday.
Because my Dad rocks.
Yeah, he left us [...]

Yesterday Matt asked me to paint his toenails, a summertime ritual we have followed for at least five years, possibly more. He wears very revealing sandals all summer, and he likes his toes to look pretty. Who doesn’t? I’m happy to oblige.
He prefers glossy red, for the record.
So just now I decided to join in [...]

One of the very few beautification indulgences I indulge in is a regular eyebrow waxing. As you know, I takes my chances on the haircut scene, I am no clothes horse, and I’m something of a “tomboy.” But I am the tiniest bit vain about my eyes (which are large and blue-ish, with a ring [...]

So I turned my Dad on to music file-sharing today, walked him through downloading Soulseek and everything. He’s a blues DJ in P-Town, so I know that he will get totally into it once he figures it out. He’s a pretty hep cat, but, like many of his generation, a bit behind on the whole [...]

So I’m stage managing this play. And I find out, after I sign on for this job, that the SM actually is a character in the play, and spends some time hamming it up onstage.
Now, back when I was a kid, I was a big ham. I loved putting on shows in my neighborhood, and [...]
Foggy on the inside

Here it is, finally finally acting like spring — and I finally have the day off — and the sky is blue and the birds are singing, and all I seem to want to do is stay inside and listen to rainy day music and ponder things.
I tried a couple of times today to wander [...]

I have a new favorite movie.
I watched this last night. Then I watched it again. I was on my third time through, with 20 minutes to go (the awful lunch scene, after Midnight at the Oasis…) when Matt came home and I had to break the news to him that I have found a new [...]
