hard art

I’m writing this on 2/13. I’m a little cranky tonight, kind of overdone and Sunday-nightish and muddled. I am looking at a library book that’s due tomorrow and I’m barely quarter of the way through. There’s a mini-mountain of laundry on the floor, glaring at me accusingly. I have three good choices: read, do laundry,…

zelda inspires

I never played The Legend of Zelda video game but am pretty fascinated at how it has inspired creative nostalgia tributes by fans. This musician Sp0ntanius is unique and amazing. Here he plays “Song of Healing” from The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask on wine glasses. Check out his YouTube channel for other songs. Wouldn’t…

feed frenzy: overload

I guess this has turned into a multi-parter post, as I’m going to embark on de-cluttering my Google Reader. This is part one. Okay, too many blogs to which I subscribe. By the way, I use Google Reader, as you should too (if you don’t already) so you can read blogs the easy way. If…

gettin’ older! the perk edition

That’s Paulie and me (I am “Scary Facelift Lady”) Perk of gettin’ older: I’m so much less embarrassed by things that would have killed the younger Becky (discussed here). Perk: There are people out there that do prefer more seasoned ladies to with whom to canoodle. Perk: I am unable to be lazy, on the…

she’s a goodie

Since I technically (and accidentally) published today’s earlier liberal rant yesterday, I feel that I should post something else, so that my future victory at Post a Day 2011 doesn’t get sullied with an asterisk. Besides, today’s a good day! It’s my niece Sarah B’s birthday today. I love her so much. She was my…

bonzo rant

Sorry if you saw this post in a half-complete form yesterday — by accident, I scheduled it to be published a day early. You’re welcome to read it now — or not, if you don’t fancy me getting all angry and political for a bit. It’s no secret that I’m a liberal person. I don’t…

walkies! no, runnies

There is a beach park near where I live that I just love. It’s pretty, but a little industrial, and kind of weird. Just when you start thinking the smokestacks ruin the view and that there’s an odd smell in the air, you walk out on the pier and the water is a deep peacock…

biting the art that fulfills me

Me on stage in Ventura in January 2011 I’ve been saving this quote for more than two years. It’s part of a review by Fishbowl LA of some TV show: You know how when your stupid friend begs you to go see their improv group at some horrible club in Hollywood and you spend the…

blog post — lazy, slothful, sin-filled editon

Instead of watching the little football game today (I’m writing this on Sunday), I wandered around in the warmth in the lovely (if a touch bizarre) burg of Santa Barbara, watched a series of student films, ate sliders, drank beer, drank coffee (three times), shopped, lazed about, and most decidedly did not work out. I…
