I should be working on my script. I know what I want to write, and I have written some of it, but I am not now writing. Why? I’ll tell you. I am actively depressed. This is not the passively sitting still and watching the world go by kind of depressed–oh no. This is the… Continue Reading

You Say It’s Your Birthday
Well, it’s my birthday, too. The fact that I can state that is pretty amazing. I have a strange and complicated relationship with my birthday, as I do with so many things. When I was a kid, I did the whole slumber party/ballerina cake thing (stop laughing, I did). I enjoyed the presents… Continue Reading
Please, Please, Please
I am sure you have heard the terrible news by now. There was a shooting Friday at the immigration center in Binghamton, NY. At first, the information came trickling out in dribbles and drabs. I heard a little here and there, but nothing substantial. Then, there were rumblings that the shooter was Vietnamese. The first… 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
How Do You Like Them Veggies?
Ok. After a bit of updating on the Mudflats situation, I am going to blog about something that’s been bothering me for a while. There is a tangential tie-in, but not really.

Stupid Is As Stupid Does
So yesterday, I revealed my difficulties grappling with the fact that there are truly stupid people in Congress. I have touched on it before, but I have yet to wrap my mind around it. My brother, who is brilliant in his own right, has struggled with the same issue as to dealing with the people… Continue Reading
The Great Divide
If I were Jewish and had balls, I’d be Lewis Black. He is my newest political crush, and I have to tell you about it. I have always liked watching him on The Daily Show because he is so acerbic in his wit, but I also worried about him having a heart attack because… Continue Reading
I’m Oscar the Grouch
Except, I’m not green; I don’t live in a trash can; I have better hygiene. Other than that, Oscar and I are likethis. I might as well brandish a cane and shout at the kids to get off my lawn. I am going to dive in the shit today and talk about things that… Continue Reading
We’re Not in New York City, Kiki!
My best friend, Kiki, and I both have birthdays in the month of April. I usually give her a book or a CD or something like that. This time, I decided to take her to a play. I surfed the various theatres, and I came across the play, By the Bog of Cats at the Guthrie.… Continue Reading
I’m Fat
Today, I am not going to talk about politics–much. I am not going to talk about sex–much. Instead, I am going to talk about something personal–mostly. My weight. I am not going to tell you how much I weigh because I don’t know. I have issues with the scale and with eating and with… Continue Reading
