Website Changed! (Again!)
So, I changed the site to make it more about me as a writer. All my acting stuff has moved to my burlesque blog, excepting the headshot/portfolio photos gallery. It will be moved over there, but I need more time and energy to devote to it than I have at the moment. From now on…

I am a terrorist.
Or I would be, if I had ever had an abortion. Perhaps that’s not what Matt Emerson meant when he compared a woman’s right to choose to the events of 9/11, 2001, but that’s certainly how it read (and remember kiddies, intent is not magic). Emerson is talking specifically about abortions that remove one twin,…

Friday Five: five random items sitting in this writer’s room

Cloaking myself in portability and the Mystery of Moving
I am currently moving, and the entire process — while exhausting — is definitely one of Life’s Mysteries. The definition of Mystery: an event that only those who have been initiated into it understand fully; it’s generally difficult if not impossible to describe the Mystery, which is why it’s a Mystery. There are various Mysteries…

Why words like “overweight” bother me.
If you’ve been paying attention the past several years, you’ll know we have an “obesity epidemic” on our hands. Well, that’s what they like to call it. I don’t, because it makes it seem like we fat people are the disease. The way we get treated by most people, you’d think we were. I don’t…
