Radio static, converged voices blaring white noise buzz that takes me to lives where I don’t live I went there, see me here detail in 3D, vintage-framed because that’s what you do to remember Please see me, please see me Megaphone glued to fingers tapping My insides crave your outsides Late nights…Continue Reading

Balance
I forget why, but not too long ago I was reiterating to a friend what it is I do every day. Maybe it was my husband and I was saying YOU BETTER APPRECIATE ME!, although I think that was an inner mind scream instead. No this time, I was explaining my various jobs and…Continue Reading
Life in Song: Backwards Evolution (Part One of Infinity)
I started to compose a compendium of songs I’ve loved and to tell you why, but I became flooded with memories and thoughts and buds of who I am now, that I kept it to one song for today, with more labyrinth emotions evoked by song on their way. Because you can only become so…Continue Reading
Pretend I Wrote This Today
Hi! Just back from Los Angeles, where I’ve been three weeks out of this month alone. The first four episodes of BlogThis! have wrapped and now I’m sitting here in San Diego in a “What now?” tizz that will last all of three minutes until my next project hits me in the face with…Continue Reading
Working Out Screws with Evolution
But really, she’s like the blondie, feather-haired cheerleader sister you have, where never in six million years will you perform at the awesome over-achiever level she deems acceptable.
Tid Bittles
Just a few snippets today, presented in random order to mirror my state of mind… Tonight I leave for Los Angeles to begin production on BlogThis! The road (the metaphorical one) wound long because Jess and I have been writing these scripts in one form or another for 18 months and are now seeing…Continue Reading
Celeb Encounter of the Lamest Kind
(A re-post…) Me and Carolyn on the brink of a brush with celebrity. When I first lived in Los Angeles during the early ’90s, my colleague Carolyn and I often met after work for a drink. We usually convened at a bistro-type joint on Ventura Blvd. in Woodland Hills, a mecca it…Continue Reading
Of Narcissism and Blogging
I know someone whom I loathe engaging in conversation because this person only talks about himself. He’s super creative and takes great pleasure in his skill, which he should, but that’s all that exists, all we talk about, all he wants to discuss at length. Truth is, I can’t recall even one time when…Continue Reading
When a Business Partner is Also a Friend: Why it Could Work
Today, Toots, Booger and I head to Los Angeles to visit my business partner, but we’re not traveling for work. Instead, we’re planning some fun hang-out time because my partner and I are good friends, too. And as we set our social agenda for the week, I reflected back to when Jess and I…Continue Reading
Because Life is Short and I Get It Now
I’m re-posting this for so very many reasons, not the least of which is I’ve come face to face with the idea that a lifetime doesn’t last forever, it just doesn’t. And that’s OK. But it’s sublime, too. In October of last year, my dad made it to the ER just in time to address…Continue Reading
I Miss My Crazy
You know one of the bummer byproducts of being so busy? No time to be a hypochondriac. There’s all these diseases out there I’m not noticing or rabidly researching and it’s making me a little sad inside. I mean, I used to be a top-producing hypo. Baseless ER visits, vague “chest pains,” ALS scares. And…Continue Reading
Mia: The Hair Saver
A re-post! How weird. I never do that. I first met Mia, my most high esteemed hair stylist, when I was three months pregnant with Toots. My hair — normally a nest for rats on even the best days — was a ball of frizz and tangles. My face looked like zit pizza, and…Continue Reading
