Write down your blocking / choreography. Please. You would think this is just common sense. But some people just think they’ll remember or “get it”, and in my experience, that just isn’t the case. Writing it down let’s you review it on your own time. Writing it down makes sure that you review it as…
My shopping is done. Thank the good Lord (whom I don’t believe in), for internet shopping. I’ve decided no tree this year. Just can’t deal with it. Still have some gift checks to write and send out. Need to write our annual Xmas letter. Got the cards for this year designed. Need to print out…
It is certainly up to the individual, but I get so (emotionally) tired of seeing photos of fat people trying to look thin. It makes me sad. I am sad that you don’t love your round fat face the way I love seeing it. I am sad that you only feel beautiful when trying to…
When I was a wee one (yes, I was actually wee – once – a very long time ago), my folks would bundle me in a snow suit and we’d go ice skating. My first skates were double bladed and I loved skating. Nobody told me that I would one day have to forsake my…
Last night, I had the fortuitous opportunity to witness something I don’t believe I have ever seen before. Murphy has had the sneezes lately. (I think he has a little cold – no eye or nose discharge – just a few sneezes and sleeping more than usual.) I was going to bed, and Murphy jumped…
That is, indeed, the question. Right now, I am up to my tits in rehearsals for A New Brain. (This show is so wonderful and the music is so fucking difficult – for the singers – not for the audience – y’all get to just sit back and enjoy!) This weekend there is an audition…
I slept about 10 hours last night. Slept. I did not lie in bed wondering when I would fall asleep. Pretty much right after my head hit the pillow, I was off to dreamland. I did not wake up a bunch of times from hip or back pain, having to change positions. I slept. I…
Holidays are often difficult for fat folks. Not only do they have to deal with all the usual pitfalls of time spent with family, they have to deal with them in a food-centric atmosphere. They sometimes have to deal with family or friends who feel it is appropriate to comment on the food the fat…
Remember all those family holidays – and you were relegated to the kids’ table? Fucking great wasn’t it? No worries about having your manners corrected. Nobody judged you for what you did or did not put on your plate! You want to slip food to the cat – no problem. Farts were sources of merriment…
We’ve had Murphy, our orange tabby for a few years now. He is as sweet now as the day we adopted him from Town Cats. We got him after our dear Oliver (big fluffy gray scaredy cat) passed away because Leo was clearly missing having someone to play with. I had decided I really wanted…
From time to time, almost all singers have to deal with, what I call, the creeping crud. That’s an overload of yuck in the throat. There are a number of things that can cause the creeping crud – Eating chocolate; eating ice cream, drinking milk, going swimming! Yup, all these things are the things you…
We did our little jaunt up into the Santa Cruz Mountains; and it was pretty nice, I must admit. It was also a learning experience, since we were at a place we hadn’t stayed at before. I will recommend to you Jaye’s Timberlane Resort – although the term “resort” is thrown about with abandon when…
