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.
The Email and Other Thoughts for the Weekend
The Email Back before my life took an unexpected George Clooney turn, I committed the text message sin. We had the big, dramatic goodbye scene at the reunion, and for reasons I cannot fathom, I decided to add a “to be continued” to it. Seduced by the informality of the medium, I sent birthday greetings
Leatherheads from Variety
I thought this was cute. How adorable is John in this? Also, I’m scanning for me and for Chloe because the cameras are pointed right at the door. P.S. You’ll have to manually remove the mute on the player. http://content.nowlive.com/vidget/leatherhead/vidget.swf?channelid=83257
For a Good Cause
If I could figure out how to link directly to the relevant page, I would. But I’m technically moronic, so that’s not happening. Instead, I will paste in this letter from Nick Lea (aka The X-Files Krycek and hottest religious figure (on Men in Trees) since Father Ralph in The Thorn Birds) and tell you
The Clooney
My goals for the evening were pretty simple: 1) live through it, 2) enjoy the movie, and, if possible 3) see Clooney at the event. Oh, and not get arrested. That one was important, too. I’m happy to report success on all fronts—although that gleam in her eye could have meant trouble for Chloe had
T-Minus 3 Hours to Clooney
In preparation for this evening, I thought I’d do laundry. The card didn’t work.I bought a new smartcard. In preparation to do laundry, I gathered all my laundry into a huge basket and lugged it all to the elevator. The elevator didn’t work. In preparation for this evening, I thought I’d dig out the base,
Festive Dress?
Say I had an invitation to an event and an after-party. Say that event was a movie premiere tomorrow night. Say that event’s invitation indicated that the dress code was “festive dress”. What the hell would that mean? I’ve looked it up online, and unless this party is actually being held on Christmas (which it
And Now a Moment With…
If you read this blog with any regularity, you know: a) my love life has replaced the standard definition of “ridiculous” in Webster’s; and b) I’m not really what any sane person would refer to as a social butterfly (more like, “girl-who-blends-with-ficus”). In fact, if I could cocoon myself away from the rest of the
That Worked
Random X-Files gushing interruption. Remember that “idle hands lead to the devil’s test messaging” incident? Yeah, I can now officially say he got the text message. I have an email from him that I think I’ll save for a time when I’ve had more than 4 hours of sleep. Kate
Loser
Today’s topic for conversation: why is Kate such a loser? What compels me to do stupid, stupid things? I’m incapable of leaving things alone if I care at all about the individual in question. I can’t just embrace the status quo and move along my merry way. If a situation is tense, and I give
Random Letter of Complaint to Hollywood
This is just a random letter of complaint to the Hollywood powers that be. Why doesn’t Bonnie Hunt write and direct more? I find it hard to believe that she’s out of ideas. I find it even harder to believe that Hollywood doesn’t have the money to send her way. So, what’s up? I’m watching
