The Waiting.
Listening to: Shock Notice by Solid Gold It was a sunny summer evening, and it was bliss – the sun felt warm on my shoulders, there was a cool breeze blowing across my cheeks, and I was in the middle of a furiously fun text convo with my lil’ brother, Dan. Standing on the light […]

And besides, weddings and funerals are basically the same thing, anyway.
On Monday morning, I tweet-wondered whether my wedding guests would be cool with me making them join hands, raise them in the air, and sway their arms back and forth while they sang “Meet Me Half Way” by Kenny Loggins as I walked down the aisle. And then I decided that I would like my […]

Craigslist Copy…or, as I like to call it, “Words I Write To Get You To Buy My Stuff”
Yesterday, in an effort to clean out some space in my closets, I posted some stuff on Craigslist. Which is, like, one of my least favorite things to do. Which is weird – when other people ask me to do this for them, I can do it in a flash, and boom, I’m done. But […]

We’re doing a paaaaaperbaaaaack!
If you read the post explaining the whole conception/journey of The Middle of Nowhere, then you already know that it started out as me simply wanting to do a hardcover version of Holiday Chick.

{Prehistoric Amber} Let’s just start a thing where I post a video once a week and just write all my inner dialogue about it on here.
I can’t even handle this video today. Like, I think I had to be 35 and see it afresh for me to appreciate just how artsy and dryly funny and perfectly staged and totally weird it is. I would like to say that my favorite thing about it is all the close-ups on Levar Burton’s […]
