Sparkle Pants

I have been at a point of quiet contemplation lately and by lately, I mean most of the weekend. When I find a moment to escape into my head, I find my thoughts revolve around a painfully familiar axis: suicide. Not that I’m thinking about doing it or that I’m feeling that nasty edge creep [...]

Open. Close. Yes. No. Flickering light from the television, a hint of Greek music. Faint whispers, suggestions late at night on a dark street somewhere in San Francisco.

In other news, you may or may not know that today is fabulous BFF Michelle’s birthday. She has officially joined the old folks club (again) and I welcome her with open arms. I’m not the lone [...]

I kicked this post around in my head on the way home and as I sat down to type it, I totally forgot all the clever, intelligent things I wanted to say. It doesn’t help that I’m being distracted by Jon Stewart.
Lately I’ve been getting into photography. This foray into a new form of expression [...]
