I have not been in the best of moods lately. Another run-in with Kaiser psychiatric department. My back (suspect it’s the QL muscle) is still fucked up. So when this showed up on our doorstep today, it was just what I needed. Perhaps, someday, I’ll share the twisted tale of all that went into my…

So, I’m still watching Supernatural (the series that never ends) – Season 6, Episode 16 “And Then There Were None”.  If you care about spoilers, stop reading now. Anyhow, in this episode, the Mother of All is using a literal mind worm to make hosts crazy and start killing people.  It’s a literal worm that…

Getting radiation treatment I have met several technicians and been witness to how they each deal with the body of a fat old lady. They are all very clear that I should let them know if anything they do causes pain.  They are all respectful; but it is apparent that some are not comfortable (for…

I lived in various parts of the San Fernando Valley.  When I first moved to LA I was such a snob and swore I’d never live in the Valley.  Truth is, there’s nothing wrong with living in the Valley –parking is better and the rent is cheaper.  It is definitely the ‘burbs, but so what? …

What takes awhile is getting my fat old lady ass situated properly on the table.  They have to get you situated “just so”, which, of course, is a good thing.  You don’t want them shooting that radiation willy-nilly into…

When deciding whether or not to audition, you need to consider a couple things. Are you available for all the scheduled performances? And, is there any physical reason that you cannot actually perform the role? Being available is self-explanatory.  Don’t go out for a show when you know that you won’t be able to be…

I kind of have insomnia, but not really. It takes a long time at night before I start feeling sleepy and ready to go to bed.  I often stay up until 1 or 2 a.m. and sometimes, even then, it takes a bit for me to fall asleep.  However, once I fall asleep – I…

I can’t find anything on the internet about May den Arend except her art work.  Not even on her own website (https://www.maydenarend-keramiek.nl/index.html). But I do like her art.  First, though, what is it about the Netherlands and wonderful depictions of fat people in their art (no, I’m not complaining)?  Even my Dikke Dame (fat lady)…
