So. My “Fuck You, God” phase did not end with a bang, but with a whimper. It’s difficult to maintain that level of rage for any sustained amount of time. Besides, I had pretty much done all the experimenting I wanted to do at that point–and there was still an emptiness inside me. What to… Continue Reading

Losing My Religion, Part III
Looks like this is going to be a week-long series, bitches! Oh, sorry. That’s how we greet each other over at Balloon Juice, and I quite like it. So, in college, religion was put on the backburner as I spent more and more time discovering, well, me. And my boyfriend, D, but that’s not… Continue Reading
My Life as a Christian, Part II
So, when we left off, our intrepid heroine (me) was heading off to college. I had planned on going to college in CA, but I changed my mind at the last minute. Instead, I ended up going to St. Olaf, which was closer to home–but not too close. For the first time, I lived away… Continue Reading
The Fragility of Religion
Go see Religulous by Bill Maher if you haven’t. Go. I’ll wait here until after you’ve seen it. Seen it? Good. Let’s get down to brass tacks. Today’s topic up for dissection is religion. I know it’s a touchy subject, which is exactly why I’m tackling it today. You see, I was raised Evangelical, so I… Continue Reading
Keepin’ the (White) Man Down
I knew that President Obama taking the office would unleash all sorts of racism, covert and overt. We’ve seen this happen with the teabaggers who held up signs that denigrated our president’s ethnicity. That would be an overt sign of the lingering racism. We’ve seen it with the “President Obama is not very smart” meme… Continue Reading
Whitewash, Soft-scrub, Launder, and Repeat
Yeah, I kinda stole one of Rachel’s segment titles and put my own spin on it. What are you going to do about it? First, a bit of the personal. My dad is coming for a visit tomorrow, which means one thing–cleaning. I fucking hate cleaning. I loathe it with every fiber of my being,… Continue Reading
It Smells Like Wingnut in the Morning
All right. As you know, I have followed the Mudflats since McCain chose Palin (or had her chosen for him, you make the call) as his VP pick. I didn’t know much about her other than she had gone on Craig Ferguson’s show to grant him honorary citizenship of Alaska. I thought it was a smart idea… Continue Reading
Welcome Back!
Well. That’s another Scriptfrenzy.org month in the books. It was an interesting ride, and it’s not over for me. I ground out 153 pages total (145 on my screenplay, and eight on my musical), and I only hit two and a half penises. Don’t ask. So, it will be a trilogy when I get… Continue Reading
Viva La Revolution du The! (With the Appropriate Accents)
Ok. I tried to be above the fray that is the teabaggin’ parties, but I cannot. Why? First of all, I want my tea back! Tea is a wonderful beverage that warms you up on a cold, MN winter night (sniff, bye winter), and it is unfairly being usurped by the right to further their… Continue Reading
Natural Born Killers
Addendum: I know that Michele Bachmann has waxed apoplectic about China wanting to force the US to change its currency because she is too stupid to realize that she obmitted the word, ‘reserves’ from the statement, but I don’t have time to cover all her stupidities. You’ll just have to look that one up yourselves.… Continue Reading
