So, my husband and I are watching Ridiculousness – which is going to put us in a goofy giggly mood anyway, when an ad comes on for a shingles vaccine called Shingrix. Okay. First, you need to understand we watch commercials with the sound off – so this ad shows people doing everyday things –…

First, you may have noticed that I am struggling with a consistent title for Tuesdays. I know, I can’t believe that I’ve run out of theater stories already – okay, I haven’t, but I can never think of them come Tuesday. So any Tuesday blog fodder ideas that I can do in rotation with Theater…

Well, this past Saturday was the engagement party of my friend Chris Fernandez and his wonderful fiancé Darrick Wingfield and I had to go. Believe it or not, I have some social anxiety issues which can prevent me from wandering out into the world.  Booze used to grease those wheels for me, but I no…

In honor of the engagement of Chris Fernandez (my Herr Schultz) and his beloved Darrick Wingfield – The Pineapple Song which Chris and I performed last night at Chris and Darrick’s engagement party – a wonderful party for a truly wonderful couple! Congratulations! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T6tJngxWJ60

A fat salon owner, Ray Lin Howard, was escorted by police from her flight on Alaska Airlines because, the airline (or rather a flight attendant) claims, she did not abide by their dress code.  https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/police-escorted-her-off-alaska-201811604.html I call bull shit.  And so do many other folks – and not just from the fat community. What Ray…

I used to hand write everything.  I loved writing.  I would write long (long) letters to friends and family.  And I loved my handwriting. I was scolded in school because I hold my pen the “wrong” way.  When I write (I am right-handed), I hold the pen with the thumb underneath (as does everyone) but…

Yes I know this is a day late; but when I first wrote it, it was more than 3 full pages long.  A cooling off period and some major editing was required – and now I’ve edited it and it’s 4 pages long!  Sorry, but I just could not contain myself. Read on, if you…

My advice to people who are looking to make friends is always – go volunteer at your local community theater.  I don’t care what your skills are; they will be happy to see you and happy to put you to work.  You don’t even have to set foot onstage, if you don’t want to –…

That’s all I would like right now.  Some peace and quiet. Our orange tabby Murphy is a chatty cat.  He is more than that, sometimes he is a whiny, noisy, ass-hat cat  He is supposed to be the one with gentle brains. And I think that’s an apt description – however, he just never shuts…

And yes, I know, I’m posting this on Sunday. I’ve been in a mood; but this cheered me up some. Nunsense III, Country Western Jamboree. Me as Sister Amnesia (aka Sister Mary Paul) I loved doing this show (especially the interaction with the audience), and yes, I “bedazzled” my own scapular; because shiny is always…
