To catch y’all up on my life, since it’s been a while: I am moving out of my apartment. My lease is up on the 31st of July, and as much as I love it here, it’s too far away from the...
You, I like. I can think of several reasons no. And so far, I don’t care. I’m going to say yes anyway.
Just today I realized that the intensity of feelings you have when you’re younger? That doesn’t diminish. It’s just that your patience increases.
I had an ephiphany the other day. I’d been struggling with the issue for a while, but figuring out what was going on with me took some time because, well, it’s brand new territory. I̵...
I decided, finally, to make some important and necessary changes. I was thinking about this as I drove around today, running errands in my Zipcar. (I love Zipcar! They are not paying me to say that, ...
Is a funny thing. Just now I was looking out my window as a train went past. Seeing the silver cars rumble between the trees, I was reminded of all those days last winter when I watched the trains ru...
I worked from home today. This should not surprise any of you. If you’ve been paying attention at all, you know that we got a lot of snow last night. A Lot. Of Snow. So my boss sent me home yes...
I think I’m pretty awesome. Yes, I know that sounds conceited, but hear me out. I’m a pretty good catch. I’m smart (wicked smart, says at least one of my co-workers, and she’s...
He was gracious enough to call. I knew he was a nice guy. A nice guy who found someone else. Isn’t that always the way? (By the way, I don’t regret a thing. I have had such a sense of pea...
At least I’m learning. Dating situation. Difficult to interpret what’s happening. Silences on both sides, real or imaginary? My malfunctioning–now replaced–cell phone added to...
Until last night, when I was treated to “The Tale of Custard the Dragon”–with dramatic pauses for twirling–while being carefully guided around a dance floor. THE TALE OF CUSTA...
was amazing. Everything I hoped he’d be last night and more. At one point, Heather leaned over to me and said, “Is he tons better than last year, or is it because we’re not hungover...
Amazing. Tonight (in a way) I will have come full circle. I will be sitting at the Jazz Showcase with friends, listening to Roy Hargrove play, which is exactly what I was doing LAST New Year’s Day. A...
Last Light 2010 Good-bye, 2010. I’m surprised to discover I’m going to miss you.
And nothing I can do will change that. Any more, it’s a continuous process of learning to let go. Why not? I have no control over anything but myself, anyway.
Sally is standing with a(n all-male) group of her co-workers. They are all great people, she likes them very much. Suddenly one notices her hand, holding the bottle of beer. Matt: Hey. Look at–...
I have finished making the ones what I’m making, and procuring the ones what I’m purchasing. At least for the gifts what I need to give whilst I’m with family. The others can wait t...
Amazing. You start in very different places, and take very different roads, and despite your separate wanderings,*still* end up on a dance floor in downtown Chicago, standing in the same space.
Two facebook posts from me this evening that say it all: I was so excited to be playing with spraypaint again that I almost violated the First Rule of Messy Art Making: Change out of your work clothe...
I’ve started this entry three times now. I’m out of the habit of writing regularly, not to mention suffering from horrible writer’s block. It turns out that if I don’t post ab...
Mine was. Happy and full of good food, wonderful people, some amazing port and surprises. Making my own road and following my own rules again. Turns out I like it like that.
After the Fall Mostly, I’ve been working. A lot. Very intensely. And then dragging myself home to lie on the couch and stare at things. After the Fall - Idiot Child and Wedding Ring I’ve ...
When I lived in Moscow, there were days–especially during school breaks, when I didn’t have anything to do for classes–that I would get so lonely and sad. I would try to rouse mysel...
In two more days, After the Fall will be over, and though I’m working on another show (as a dialect coach), my job there is mostly done at this point. Which means that I will have my evenings f...
And I mean that.
My attorney called as I was changing trains at Fullerton. He needed some statistical info for the decree documents. And then said, “You’re divorced. The judge signed the decree this after...
After the Fall opened on Sunday. And it is being ROUNDLY praised. And I? I am being MENTIONED. In reviews. In papers like the Chicago Sun-Times. THE CHICAGO SUN-TIMES. And also on Chicago Tonight. (T...
As I was coming back from taking out the trash, bird shit spattered my foot. At first, I was annoyed, another stupid and annoying element in my currently issue-filled life (and those of you who know ...
That I’ve been cast in a show. I’ll be playing Holga in Arthur Miller’s After the Fall at Eclipse Theatre in Chicago. The show runs July 11-August 22. You should totally come see it.
This entry has been pinging around in my head for several days now. I just haven’t had the time to sit down and write it up. Now, I do. It’s Saturday, after all. One day last week, as I hung like a r...
