I do freelance legal word processing. I know these attorneys. I know they are not stupid. Irritating, maybe … but not stupid. And yet, I get dictation today from an attorney who wants me to type up a pleading. Okie dokie. No problem. This IS my job. I start typing and I see the caption…

I keep hearing celebrities say, “I never watch myself in a movie/on TV.” Why the fuck not? Are you not interested in learning how you look when you perform? Are you not interested in finding out that maybe you could be doing something different that would work better? Are you not interested in hearing and…

Well, here we go. Friday, I applied for Social Security. Holy fuck. How did this happen? I remember when I figured I should die at 40 because by then I would have lived all the life I could stand to live. Ha. And here I am in all my Fat OLD Lady glory. Don’t get…

One of the things I love about drag, in general, and RuPaul’s Drag Race in particular, are the fat drag queens.

I know this is a common complaint. Seems, from time to time, we all bitch about people using “Reply All” when they are responding to a group e-mail. But it happens so often, I must believe at least some of the people bitching about using Reply All, are also replying all. Would you please, just…

Many people wonder what the producer does. Well, the job is in the title. The producer is in charge of making sure all the thousands of bits and pieces necessary for a show are in place and come together. They take the chaos that is making theater and actually organize it! Costumes, scenery designer and…

Growing up, I was blessed with “good” skin. Very few zits. As I grew older, the facial lines and wrinkles remained negligible. Of course part of this was because I am a FAT old lady. You can’t put a wrinkle in a bubble! Now that I am a fat OLD lady, my skin has turned…

Maybe. Maybe not. There are two (small) studies that claim it is. High Prevalence of Obesity in severe acute respiratory syndrome etc. Obesity in patients younger than 60, etc. These studies have been scrutinized and evaluated by people in the fat community who are a lot fucking smarter than I am. And those people believe…

I am pretty good at crochet. I am so-so with knitting. I can knit, but it takes a lot of concentration. I find knitting requires a level of meticulousness that is not relaxing enough to enjoy. Here’s my rule of thumb – If you make a mistake knitting, you have a hole in your project.…
