Ceramic art at its best
Last night I had a dream... no, not nearly as prophetic and genius as Martin Luther King... mine was just a random dream where I was having a conversation with a girl I went to high school with. Usually I ignore, suppress, neglect my dreams... but this one got me...
Bridesmaid #3 – How color correcting makes a film really “pop”
I just sat through a color correction session for my short film Bridesmaid #3, starring Jessica Noboa and Danny Lippin. I love this process (one of the last in the post production journey of getting a film made). The director, Alli Steinberg, was going for an AMELIE...
Chutzpah
I used to do Stand Up. I wasn't bad...but I wasn't great. And you have to be great to be a Stand Up. I was entertaining... which is at least something; however, I lacked the genius improvisational skills of Robin Williams, the brazen wit of George Carlin, the...
Run for Her
Another race. Another tee shirt for the quilt. Another great cause. Run for Her supports Ovarian Cancer, the deadliest of all gynecologic cancers. There is no screening or early detection test available for ovarian cancer. When diagnosed early, the 5 year survival...
Men suck, Daddy – a poem
Depression rocks me like a boat hit by a crashing wave. I tumble out and find myself drowning in my own tears. Help. What did Alice do? She drank from a bottle that said "Drink Me"... but all I have is beer. So I drink and I eat and I drink and eat some more. Now, I...
11-11-11…apophenia? Or just plain fun!!!
Okay, so I admit I get caught up in apophenia, a cool word which means that people attach meaning to random patterns. And I do think the fact that today is 11-11-11 is cool. So, this morning at 11:11 on 11:11:11, I smiled... just because. I love the number eleven, I...
Two months of every day blogging
I set a goal for myself to blog every day until my book comes out. That’s three months of blogging. (Did I see myself five years ago, using the word “blog” three times in a sentence? NO!) Look, perhaps people who have limited imaginations, limited themes and limited...
How to make a 10K Quilt
In my not so distant past I used to run 10k’s. And although I championed the causes, enjoyed the exercise and was motivated by the competition… the real joy of the races for me were the tee shirts. Every size, shape and color. Every imaginable design. The Reindeer...
Vromans…. and The Thirteen Hallows
Nothing makes me happier than spending time in a bookstore. It's always an adventure, browsing the shelves and challenging myself what not to buy as I start lugging around more books than I can possibly carry. While I do appreciate the convenience of online shopping,...
A poetic monologue from “Soap Boxing”
Can you put a Starbucks in Wal-Mart? Buy a latte as you pick out your gun. Can you put a Starbucks in Wal-Mart? Let Conglomerates dictate your fun. Can you put a Starbucks in Wal-Mart? Wear your clothes from Banana and Gap. Can you put a Starbucks in Wal-Mart? Fall...
