space is the place
Photo courtesy of NASA Johnson Space Center (NASA-JSC) Hooray for the fortieth anniversary of the man on the moon. USA, USA, etc! (PS are you old enough to have been awoken by your parents so you could witness whatever latest space shot on TV? I am! I also remember distinctly focusing on the moon with…
Read Moreoh, god, i’m such a girl
Why the seemingly-sudden repopularity of assigning a female trait to stupid or wimpish behavior? Maybe just because I’m attuned to it that it seems, suddenly, everywhere. I know it’s nothing new, sadly. But really, must you? Must I? Typical scenario: man shows vulnerability, skittishness, emotion, or insecurity. Other man accuses him of having a vagina.…

It’s been unpublished now, but if you caught it, you now know the reason for my coherence (and please pretend to…

The horrible wall of gum on the outside of Unexpected Productions theater space, 2006 So, I’m full of all sorts of emotions as I anticipate my return to the International Festival of Improvisation in Seattle in two short weeks — eeeks! There’s a heavy feeling of significance surrounding the whole deal, even though it’s not…

I have never been to Talbots but Talbots roared into my existence a few weeks ago, making me wonder if it’s a sign and that I should become a Talbots woman.
