I might be a worrier to the wart degree, it’s true. I will sit here and obsess about diseases that no one has had for decades, using already tired search engines that don’t have any new answers for me since I asked the last time about the plague and polio. There’s no sense and no […]
There are bites on me which are driving me crazy. I don’t think they are mosquito bites. They are out of season. Mosquitoes are a summer complaint, as I have seen them almost every year in Provincetown, flying low and slow, filled with my blood and heavy and probably half drunk from it. These you […]
This is a guest blog by Haydee Alonso. If you know me, then you know that I have big boobs. If you don’t know me, then I have something to tell you…..I have big boobs. They began to sprout sometime in the fourth grade and by the sixth grade I had myself a set […]
The face of her is grey, but she looks younger than she is, if you think about dogs and how they are 7 times older than people. Bronwyn was loved from the moment she walked in through my front door. She’d had a bit of trouble in her early life, before we met. Starved and […]
Don’t despair, eat. It’s probably not the most healthy thing to say, but food is a balm for me, especially carbohydrates. I am drained by humanity. People are disappointing and taxing, rueful and mean, bullying and boring – this is just the truth. There are those with potential to be heavenly however, so these few […]
There are 15 snakes on me, tattooed in brilliant greens and blues, each with its own specific and varied role and personage. They are vipers with vitality, alive as me, writhing lovely on my pale soft belly, lying across each rib as if they were descending stairs. They are meant to protect me, and I […]
Oh it’s so exciting! I got nominated for an Emmy and I think I am actually high from it. That is the best, when you get high from your life’s work, and I usually do, but this is an extra special high. I woke up to find my phone beeping with texts and email, which […]
There isn’t much I hate more than getting up early, yet I do it with constancy that belies my true feeling. I come to consciousness a mess, face swollen, mind deeply entrenched still in a dream, eyes a rabbity red that looks painful because it is. I require great quantities of caffiene and will fill […]
Years ago (most of my stories are from then, as I lived a much smaller life then, and had more space to remember and more time to recover) I was waiting on a busy street corner, my nearby Ventura Boulevard on a Saturday morning. It was a sunny day, hot already by 10am in the […]
Yeah I know I got an anger problem but I don’t know what to do about it. It’s a problem but it’s not a concern. There are differences between problems and concerns. A problem is an issue, an unpleasant one, but it’s something we can all live with. We all have problems, but we can […]
I have such a different type of job than most people. I work all the time, pretty much every waking hour of the day is work. Even the hours just sitting, waiting for planes and cars, for cameras and audiences, that is all on the clock, on someone’s watch, getting to a job, leaving a […]
I haven’t made a sauce but if I could I would make and authentic bolognese, which is my favorite, hearty and red and cooked down for many hours, making my mouth water all day long. I might actually sear a ham bone and cook it down until the meat and tendons and marrow melt into […]
