HOW ‘BOUT MAKIN’ BABIES?
“Can I go wash your car?” my boyfriend IM’d me from the living room. I was in the next room with the door closed working on an article due Monday. “Who is this?” I jokingly asked. “Where are your keys?” “Thanks honey,” I wrote, “But you don’t have to do that. I can do that [...]
GOING BACK TO SCHOOL
I’ve been thinking about going back to school. Possibly a Performance Art Program or MFA Acting Program. I really love my writing job, but I feel that I should be back in school — in a program that will allow me to make new work. I had a solid career as a performance artist and [...]
SUNDAY
I’m eating leftovers in a brown glass bowl. It’s tuna salad (sans mayo) with lettuce, avocado, corn, red peppers and tomatoes. My boyfriend is at a Clippers game. I got the tickets at work for him, but I decided not to go. I decided to be alone and eat my tuna salad from yesterday’s lunch with [...]
THE MONK LIFE
This is a really random post, but clutter drives me crazy. I need to clarify that I am pig-like at times. I’m not dirty and I’m not disgusting (no offense to pigs — god this is shitty writing) — anyway, I’m messy. However, I hate owning stuff. Sometimes I wish I had a “uniform” and [...]
FINISHING THE BOOK
“I just want to burn it,” I said to my boyfriend in bed last night. “I just want it all to go away.” “I know,” he comforted, “But maybe it will go away if you write it.” I tried to explain to him: “I’ve been writing this book for ten years. Why am I doing [...]
FOUND WRITING: “MIRRORS”
I keep every piece of writing. I’m a hoarder of notes and anything that might make my book or writing better. This habit is diluting useful writing and it’s ridiculous. I need to clean house, but I hang on to the writing because I think it needs to be published somehow. To solve this fear [...]
ONE LAST SHOT: WRITING A BOOK
I don’t care if I get fat. I don’t give a shit if I don’t leave my office for months, I need to finish this book. “The Book” is my achilles heel. It’s my weighted backpack. It’s something I began ten years ago. I need to finish it even if it kills me. I can’t [...]
“THE WEARY KIND”
I saw Ryan Bingham in Woodland Hills today. For those that don’t live in Los Angeles, that’s “The Valley.” Yup, people go there. I drove home after meeting my boyfriend (who works in Woodland Hills) and played “The Weary Kind” from the Crazy Heart soundtrack. Ryan Bingham wrote the song with T Bone Burnett — [...]
ENOUGH TALKING ABOUT MY RELATIONSHIP, LET’S TALK ABOUT BEING A VEGAN
I think I just lost my male readers. Here’s the thing: I feel wicked unhealthy. Usually when I start a relationship, I work out a lot, eat well and dance around like a lunatic in love naked in the mirror and fantasize about my future strip routines. Well, that’s not really the case now. I’ve [...]
MOVING IN TOGETHER. DAY 6.
We are officially moved in together. Him and me. Me and my boyfriend. Me and my housemate. My shit is here in boxes and around the apartment. I am officially in the “Official Step Two” of a relationship: Moved in. The weird thing, and let me just point this out, is that I write a [...]
