I'm not actually buying a KitchenAid. One time, when my parents were newly married, my dad bought something very expensive without talking it over with my mom, and then things got heated I think, and my dad felt guilty, and he bought my mom this really fancy gadget that has a blender and a mixerContinue reading "On Buying Kitchen Aids"
I remember when…
A favorite blogger of mine, C Jane, linked to a writing prompt today. Eight minutes and the prompt, "I remember when." And I thought to myself, "Well. Why the heck not?" I remember when my mother used to wear a pair of socks that were covered with the silhouettes of animals. What an odd memory.Continue reading "I remember when…"
What a marvelous night for a moondance
...or a baseball game. I want to have summer forever. Forever and ever and ever. Warm air forever. Sunlight forever. Can I circulate a petition? We can keep biking, keep hiking, keep having late-nite conversations because the sun doesn't quite set. We can keep wearing summer-clothes and sit outside at restaurants and stuff. We canContinue reading "What a marvelous night for a moondance"
Hey blog. BACK FOR MOAR.
Hello, world. Have you ever stopped exercising for, like, a week, and then, when you go back, everything is weird and hard and you're sore again because your body is like, "wut?" even though the stuff you did used to be super standard? Because that just happened to me last Friday. At the circus gym.Continue reading "Hey blog. BACK FOR MOAR."
I (co-)wrote something that people performed
So, I've always loved acting. Always. Even when I was little and shy, the stage thrilled me. To me, acting is a gift of love to my audience. Because acting requires vulnerability--one never knows how the audience will respond. Acting takes courage. Acting takes selfless gift and commitment and honor. And, mostly...love. When I act,Continue reading "I (co-)wrote something that people performed"
This play. This is where I have been.
Tonight was opening night, ya'll. And, I'm going to bed. But, enjoy these shots of my folks doing what they do best: being awesome. There's more where these came from, if you go to the dance with me. Also, the final show is tomorrow. Come and love you some ART.
Bulletproof vests and #BlackLivesMatter
One time I was taking this high stakes (not really) quiz and the quiz was like, “Of all the people in your life, whose death would you find most devastating?” Now, I know a lot of people. I love a lot of people. I have a phone full of contacts who, by the grace ofContinue reading "Bulletproof vests and #BlackLivesMatter"
What I Wore Wednesday | A yellow sheath
It's been a while since I've done one of these, eh? Well. Chalk that up to me consistently riding the line of not wanting to do the selfie thing on the internets. But, then, on the other hand, I always like it when I see shots of the folks who write the blogs I read.Continue reading "What I Wore Wednesday | A yellow sheath"
P.S. Play information
Hi. I'm in the middle of a series on the summer of racial tension that is 1967 2016, but for this post I'm going to give it a rest for a hot-second because I'm also in the middle of (1) a huge lot of work-stuff (Ste. Anne novena whaaaaaat, holler if you need prayers, becauseContinue reading "P.S. Play information"
Bus lines and #BlackLivesMatter. Part 2.
Did you see when the color-coded maps of the large American cities were published a year or so ago? They were telling. This was Detroit's: Look at those colors. Split distinctly, definitely along man-made lines. Those colors represent racial differences. Those colors also represent deep, deep divides and prejudices that reach back for generations. AndContinue reading "Bus lines and #BlackLivesMatter. Part 2."
