This year for Halloween, I decided to stay home….
…put on a little makeup…
… and just be myselves.
This reminded me that we, as social creatures in a culture with many taboos and dictates, perform for a live audience nearly every day. Here’s [...]

Months ago, my blogroll vanished. Don’t ask me how. While my technical skills are admittedly sucktastic, even I’m not dense enough to delete entire pages. Or am I? Whatever happened, I have spent the past two hours typing, clicking, singing fragments of the alphabet (“LMNOP… HIJK… QRST…”), [...] 
(A post from my previous, now defunct blog, written September 28, 2007) ——————— The Mark of a Good Friend When I was a little girl, I dated Grackle. After one of our early dates, I discovered that I’d had [highly visible] food stuck in my teeth for HOURS. I was horrified. When cornered, Grackle admitted [...] 
Yesterday morning, I spotted an injured bird on my street. Its wings looked fine, but it could only flap for a few feet and seemed to be favoring its right leg. As there are numerous dogs with “big bitey ends” around (one of which was chasing my bike when I noticed the bird), I set [...] 
We interrupt your regularly scheduled time-wasting to bring you this update from my ongoing taking photos to stylists series… Because three and a half months had passed since my last fateful haircut, my hair was the same length all over. I looked like a homely hedgehog. Not the look I was going for. Last Saturday, [...] 
Today is the day you have all been waiting for: I am discussing my sordid relationship with veganism over at Peculiar Girl. Fun with outtakes! Alright, fine, so no one but Kelly has ever asked about my sordid relationship with veganism, and even she didn’t call it that. Humor me. While you’re visiting Peculiar [...] 
October 24 through 31 is World Go Vegan Week, a celebration of compassion and a time to take action for animals. Today’s guest post is by Cheryl Breuer, a writer and vegan who blogs at Peculiar Girl.
I Can’t Believe It’s Not Leather: Cute Vegan Shoes for Everyone
If the idea of [...] 
We all believe things that aren’t true. Some of my pet misconceptions involve consistently describing six-foot men as being “about my height” and truly believing that I can wear low-rise pants without mooning all creation. Wrong every time. Even this dude wasn't "about my height" Thank kevins that Wikipedia has a list of [...] 
After years of hearing about how daring it was, I finally watched The Children’s Hour. While I’m never completely sold on Audrey Hepburn’s acting and the plot takes several melodramatic turns toward the end, it was still a tense, gripping drama. The child actress is absolutely maddening (as she’s meant to be), and [...] 
Do you realize that I lived not half an hour from Just Born, Inc. for an entire year and never once cracked jokes about the prevalence of Peeps? Talk about squandered opportunities! Happily, I had the foresight to photograph some local color ‘n’ kitsch: A mural in the local airport— not up [...] |
