My Letter to Fear
Based on interviews with women, these essays about life (and all of its funny, sad and ridiculous aspects) were published in 2014.
Does Spy Count?
When I tell people that I’m a writer often they get this anticipatory look. I always assumed that they were waiting for me to tell them the name of something that they might recognize (which is unlikely). As it turns out, I think they are waiting for me to finish the sentence with the following:
Will Ferrell Is All Busted Up Over Kristen Stewart & Robert Pattinson
If you haven’t seen this, it is the perfect thing to kick off a weekend. [youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QuwgoIFgQpY&w=560&h=315] Happy Friday! P.S. Thanks to Steve for the heads up!
Oh, Hollywood
I’ve started doing extra work (no, I won’t give you spoilers) to get some cash to help with my little adventure year (which has apparently been extended to 15 months). While I have done this work periodically in the past, there was about a 10 year gap before I re-registered. Naturally, this means that I
Do Something
The other day I saw this up on IBG Inc’s (@IBGInc) Twitter, and it really did make me stop and think for a moment. Unfortunately, what I came up with at the time was… nothing. That’s less good. Don’t get me wrong, I was really enjoying those chicken tenders and fries at the time, but
To Tiara or Not Tiara
We all have a perception of ourselves that may (or may not) even vaguely resemble the way the rest of world sees us. I’m usually okay with this. If the world regards me as invisible, then, frankly, I get a lot more work done. If the world, or a certain man, sees me as an
It Made Me Laugh
After I left the Malibu Arts Festival, I wandered over to Malibu Yogurt and just spent some idle time by the fountain. And then I laughed and decided that this needed to be shared with the world: Well played Malibu Newsstand…. well played!
Some Road Tripping Tips
Just in case you are interested in doing some road tripping of your own, I’ve included five tips (and a bonus) that I thought people might find useful over on my travel blog: http://openroadahead.wordpress.com/2012/07/23/five-things-i-learned-road-tripping/
Day of Discovery 4: Creatures
The “you can’t always get what you want” theory (or lyric, if you prefer) seemed to get reinforced somewhere along this winding road. For instance, I do not look like Marion Cotillard (unacceptable). I did not find the inspiration to write the next great American novel (which was at least partially the point). Colin Firth
Day of Discovery 3: Penguins
I have discovered many things today: Margaritaville will always make me smile, but I will be grinning particularly big if you are strumming a guitar on the wharf as the sun is setting. This guy is my new best friend. I have named him, and though he does not know it yet, we are buddies.
Day of Discovery 2: Cows and Sea Otters
I’ve learned two things today: 1. Cows are not always interested in having their photographs taken. You need to respect that and not try climbing over a fence to try to change their minds. I’m not saying I did that (particularly if that is a felony), but if I had done that, I’d stick
