Eighty-three, subtract Fifty…
These are the things I will tell my children and grandchildren about my grandmother when the time comes that she will not be able to tell them herself.
The Holiday Season Approaches!
As the holiday season approaches, I find myself thinking of all the things I’ll have on my plate during the next few months.
Snapshots
When I take a photo, my artistic eye won’t let me just take a picture. I don’t want my snapshots to be like everyone else’s snapshots. I want real photos… things that make people stop and look… Things that are not like everyone else’s shit. I want them to look, uniquely, like what I see in […]
Oh, the Wilds & Ways of the World
Contractor issues, shipping problems and general day job blah settles in at the Machine…
Waiting…
Waiting really stinks. I know, patience is a virtue and the world loves a virtuous woman and therefore I should be patient and well-loved and all that crap… Well, I’m not extremely patient when it comes to certain things. I’m only well-loved in some very odd circles… And, honestly, I’ve grown exhausted from the waiting. […]
New License
No matter how semi-decent you look, the DMV will negate that decency in an absolutely indecent manner
Another Decade Passes…
Then & Now What changes a decade makes… 10 Years Ago – New Years Eve 1999: I was 21. I had curly red/auburn hair and wore funky, clunky shoes, wide leg jeans and lot’s of sweaters. I had just moved into a shitty apartment in a nefarious part of town, having exited an even […]

Bankruptcy Court: Survival of the Fittest!
I survived the Trustee’s Meeting today. Survived, but still am dissatisfied with my counsel – It’s pretty sad when I seemingly know more about what’s going on than the guy I just paid $1500 to represent me to the Federal Bankruptcy Court.
Impotence
I can’t model for shit these days. I’ve tried a couple times, but I feel so fucking undesirable I just don’t know what to do. It’s my own fault, I suppose. I just try to fantasize about something, someone, some place… that I want, desire, long for and I’ve got nothing lately. I start, but it always turns badly and I end up feeling worse than when I started. (You know something’s wrong when even your fantasies reject you!
Passing Thoughts Spoken, Penned, Thought Throughout the Past Few Days
Thoughts About Insanity (Written in an email): In my head I’m an 80 pound freak with twitchy, birdlike movements and tangled hair. I slink, head down… tilted to the side, like I’m listening for you.. waiting for you to call. You never do… That’s the beast in my head… dark and ugly, scared, scarred and […]
Around the World & Home Again…
Just a quick update After I dyed my hair pink, it faded… badly. In fact, the color was almost all gone in 3 washings… No fun! But, after much soul searching (and the discovery of a hopefully much better dye), I’ve returned to my pink roots. A picture: And a few more! Have a great […]

Perfectly Random: A Reflection
Words from the past: I stand on the edge, looking down over the pavement below. The sky is blue, but gray clouds hover on the horizon and some nearly imperceptible voice whines in the wind. A warning maybe. A sorrowful cry of those who have stood here before me longing for death or life. Longing […]
Thirsty Thursday: Tituba (pronounced Tichiba)
What better name for this eastern witches' brew, than the first accused in the Salem Witch trials? Tituba, a slave and social outcast, was singled out along with two others as the first of Salem's witches. After severe beatings and a promise of freedom upon cooperation, Tituba confessed of practicing witchcraft. She was then put […]

Wacky Video Wednesday: Munchkins?
Everything you really wanted to know about the munchkins from The Wizard of Oz, as it celebrates its 70th anniversary. Hey! I thought it was interesting, anyway! I mean, no, they aren't as cute as they were 70 years ago, but neither is that weird old guy down the street that everyone suspects is a […]
