The Addams Family Musical SuckFest 2009

Skipping over the real important aspects of my life like my wedding, my honeymoon, and how I spent my Thanksgiving vacation, I thought I’d concentrate on putting something up…anything. I came to the conclusion that I am often happiest when I write. Therefore, I shall write. I have also concluded that Twitter is, not the [...]

The Week of Dead Celebs

It’s been a strange week. On Tuesday, Ed McMahon died. A few days later, Farrah Fawcett, Sky Saxon, and Michael Jackson died. And then this morning, we found out that Billy Mays died.
It’s always so peculiar when celebrities die. It’s not like we knew them, but in a way, we did. Actually, I met [...]

Two Years Later

Two years later, I still miss my Dad everyday. The tears don’t fall quiet as steadily, but it still hits me from time to time. Through sheer force of will, I have attempted to live my life; a life my Dad would be proud of. Two years later and I continue to wish I could [...]

Good-Bye Saturday Morning

It’s 10:30am on a Saturday morning and AJB’s kids are still asleep. Their eyes are not glued to the set watching 4 hours of uninterrupted Saturday morning cartoons, the way I did when I was little.
When I was a kid, I couldn’t wait to get up Saturday mornings. It meant all the cartoons [...]

Farewell Ricardo

The elder generation of celebrities are dropping off like flies. Today we lost another great actor, Senor Ricardo Montalban. I grew up with this man. From Mr. Roarke on Fantasy Island, to Armando in Escape from the Planet of the Apes, and most especially, Khan Noonien Singh in Star Trek The Wrath of Khan. [...]

Goodbye Bettie

Bettie Page died today. It’s hard to think of what to say. I discovered Bettie in a book at Salzer’s Records in Ventura, California and thought she was practically perfect. I wanted to look like her and spent a great deal of time lamenting the fact that I didn’t. What I liked most about her [...]

Babies are Born, Life Goes On

Just got home from Orlando. Oh my, it’s good to be home. In retrospect, this was a very strange trip. I spent most of the time in the hotel and when I did get out, I was escorted around to my boyfriend’s industry parties, most of which were like a thick fog of friendly faces [...]

Giving Props

It’s a brand new day! Today I’ve been feeling the love and reveling in the fact that I have witnessed and took part in history. I’m still in a bit of shock.
Amidst the joy and hope, I am however saddened that Prop 8 – banning California gays to marry – passed. It’s funny to [...]

Day Three: Phone Banking

Day Three in Nevada. Last night I got a small reminder that I’m actually in a Las Vegas hotel. I lost 12 dollars on nickle slots and we had dinner in a fancy Chinese restaurant at Mandalay Bay. And then I crashed. Total and utter crash. Sleep. Zonk.
This morning, I awoke more tired than [...]

Pre-Packaged Goth

Instead of working my butt off yesterday, I palled around with my boyfriend’s 12 year old daughter. She and I have a few things in common and I think she’s a pretty great kid. In particular, even though she’s a twin, she’s still the middle child. I was the second born, but I was still [...]
