Where Are the Creative Women of Color?
May 23rd, 2011
I got really excited when I saw the BlogHer Handmade conference, given my recent bent towards doing stuff with my hands. Painting, crocheting, I don’t know what it is with me right now, but I’m feeling it. But the more I looked through the conference agenda, the more disenchanted I got. For the full rundown, [...]
Me and the Oscars
February 27th, 2011
I don’t know what it is with me and awards shows. There is just no possible way… that I could give less of a shit. Not sure what that’s about, to be honest. I just don’t care. Globes, Grammys, Emmys, People’s Choice, whatever, I just don’t care. Not about the clothes, not about who won, [...]
Ackkkkkkkkkk….
January 25th, 2011
No, that is not the sound of me coughing up a hairball. It is the sound of me CHOKING on all of this snow, which is burying me alive… Help!!! Already informed the Tech Guru that NEXT winter… I’m OUTTA here. Gonna rent a condo somewhere warm for at least a month. This will prevent [...]
Snowmageddon is Killing Me
January 23rd, 2011
Wow. I know, I know. It’s been, like, forever. It is really easy for me to write blog updates. It is very hard for me to remember to write blog updates. Sometimes. You know, the drugs, the tiredness, the kids, yadda yadda yadda. And then there’s all this goddamn fucking snow. Let me go on [...]
Say Hello to Lexapro!
October 13th, 2010
So, did the doctor thing yesterday evening. My last tweet just prior to leaving was asking whether it was okay to show up at a doctor’s appointment drunk. So, I sat in there and talked about my fucking feelings and thoughts and all that other bullshit, and the first thing she nailed is that I [...]
Habitual Line-Steppers
September 30th, 2010
This is one of my favorite lines from the saga of Rick James as told by Charlie Murphy on the Dave Chappelle show. I get so tired of habitual line-steppers. I have one in my life who is, unfortunately, a family member and from the time we were teens she has continually crossed the line [...]
This Time the Fucker Brought Luggage
September 15th, 2010
Claude, I mean. He really blindsided me this time. I didn’t think he was coming. I pulled out the Xanax and felt so fabulous that I thought it was like a shield or some shit – yesterday I felt great. Things were so-so but life seemed…livable. Someone pissed me off, I had to straighten her [...]
Why What You Wear Matters
September 13th, 2010
Okay, so this whole Inez Sainz thing. Which you can read about here cuz I’m already too far into my rant to go back and explain it to you. I get that she is a female sports reporter who is just trying to do her job. And I agree that she should be able to [...]
Immigration
August 30th, 2010
(play me) I saw this little tidbit of wisdom a couple of days ago on Facebook. I refuse to “like” any bullshit with hearts after it because it all comes from apps made by people hiding out in Slovakia who are just looking to harvest your personal information (you do know this, right?) but [...]
Wannabes and Jiggaboos Redux
August 17th, 2010
Today, not so teary. But pissy? Hell yes. Which is why I had to Take It There today. When an acquaintance from high school called actor Michael Ealy a light-eyed bastard, I got a little…in his face. (That would be via Facebook, just so you understand. But I would have said the same things to [...]
