My original post for something new today was a relatively humorous post about the new cider I had discovered during an unplanned happy hour celebration with friends. I may still post that later, but at the moment, I think you would be better served by learning how to make the most of a bomb threat.
There was quite a lot of new over the weekend, but most exciting for me was the upgrade (finally!) of my phone. None of my apps were really working anymore (mostly because, as my friend C put it, they were made in 1984), and it was looking like I might lose out on some writing
Sometimes in the pursuit of new, I discover the strange—not strange outside of myself necessarily, but inside. I decided that yesterday’s new was going to be a writing webinar. It was informative. It was useful. It was nerve-wracking. What? Yeah. I had all these crazy jitters before starting the webinar. I could chalk it up
I’ve started trying to stick to a new rule– don’t engage with other drivers on major thoroughfares after 2pm. Today I broke that rule in the search of something new. It took me three times longer to get where I was going, but I finally hit Carroll Avenue in my quest to see the Victorians.

There isn’t a day that goes by when I don’t see some article about the incredible benefits of meditation. From “100 Benefits of Meditation” to “7 Reasons You Should Meditate,” I have been inundated with tips about how my aging brain will thank me for sitting quietly in the corner and meditating.
I’m getting tired of my daily routine, and I thought that I needed a spark in order to keep writing, growing, thinking, not hiding under the covers, etc. So, I’ve decided to challenge myself to “30 Days of New.” It’s exactly what it sounds like. For the next 30 days, I have to do something
I have a bit of a delicate situation, and I’m hoping that the wise denizens of the Internet can give me some advice as Mr Rogers never covered this. But first, some backstory. Raise your hands if you currently live (or have ever lived) in an apartment. If so, you know how complicated navigating your
Over the weekend we completed filming on a pilot presentation for Dating in LA and Other Urban Myths (more on that experience later). It’s a project we’ve been talking about for four years, based on a blog that began nearly seven years ago. And today I found out, quite by accident, that a script that
I am experiencing a serious case of “helicopter brain.” It’s a term that I picked up after reading the latest posting over on http://beatechelette.com/ (if you aren’t reading her, you need to add her to your blog roll). Essentially, “helicopter brain” occurs when you are flipping from activity to activity, thought to thought, half-finished project
