The heavy rains in my area have caused water to seep into my studio/rehearsal space and I’ve had no choice but to tear down all my equipment and begin the process of ripping up the soaked carp...

2012 - so far so good. Sure, there’s already been a big earthquake in Japan and dead birds in Arkansas, but that doesn’t mean the world is coming to an end, or even worse, 2012 will jus...
It’s that time of year when I should be neglecting my blog because I’m so busy with the bustle of the holidays, but instead I’ve been fighting inertia. I’m not sure if it...

I’ve been a fan of machinima since I discovered the built-in movie making feature of The Sims 2. I’ve been a resident of Second Life since 2009. And I’ve been a fan of the Euryt...
This is definitely a different kind of post for me, but I figure it can’t hurt to put it out there. We bought an iPad 2 back in March. The impetus behind the purchase was to use Facetime with ...

My mother died 4 months after my second son was born. The last time I had a coherent conversation with her was on the phone in my hospital room, letting her know she had a second grandson. The wom...
Dead Girls Don’t Say No was the name of the first band I was in that included real, live, non-imaginary people. We were an all girl punk band and we met exactly once at the guitarist’s house where,...
I often find I get the most work accomplished by setting out to do a task and, in avoidance of it, I end up doing another task I have put off. For instance, I seem to have written and recorded a lo...
Cross it off my bucket list, I have now recorded and released a solo CD. Sure, it’s been mixed and mastered for a few months now, but this is America where nothing is real until it’s rea...

Today is my oldest son’s last day as an elementary school student. On the grand scale of lifetime milestones, leaving elementary school is probably around a 4 or 5. Still, knowing that all...
We took my oldest son to his first concert this past Friday. Okay, technically it wasn’t his first if you count The Wiggles when he was 3 (for the record, The Wiggles really work it; obviously it t...

It’s amazing how bogged down we can get with our own anxiety and self doubt. I woke up this morning and mentally ran through all the possible failure scenarios for my show tomorrow night at the Hotel...
I missed the Music Bus. I love music; there is music that has defined moments of my life and music that continues to define who I am at each stage in my life. But the Music Bus? The one where you ...
I’ve been putting my music “out there” for many years now and I’ll be honest – I have no fans (insert heavy sigh here). Well, I do have some very supportive friends who assure me my music is good an...
