Hi! Happy Spring! It seems I’m due for a news report upon the fascinating topic about which I seem to know more than anybody: no, not the subtle nuances of every frame in the final scene of The Ghost and Mrs. Muir. And no, not the ins and outs of gyro enjoyment. The topic of which … Continue reading Home Page Post #33 (May 5, 2025)

Hi! I think this is a record for me–I’ve gone ten (10) (TEN!!) months without writing one of my world [in]famous website lifestyle reports. Why would I do this, when I can barely fit everything I want to say in a two-to-three-month’s tale? Part of the reason is that it’s been a weird time since February … Continue reading Home Page Post #32 (Dec. 10, 2024)

February 27, 2024 Hi! Somehow four months have passed since I last wrote. And what do we have to show for it? Well, despite my desire to resist my ingrained capitalistic absolute need to achieve things at the risk of the disintegration of my personal feeling of self-worth upon not achieving them, I did “get … Continue reading Home Page Post #31

October 4, 2022 Hi! What an unusual several months I’ve spent! In May I had my [personally] triumphant performance, Loving You is Easier (more on that below), which represented to me the successful melding of so much of what I do—visual art, songwriting, costume, performance, writing, design, being angsty, looking—into one “piece”. Then, I immediately … Continue reading Home Page Post #28

June 25, 2021 Hi! It’s been almost a year since the last time I tended to my website and even longer since I sent out a newsletter telling my readers (both of you know who you are!) what is happening in my creative life. Of course, there are many reasons for this lag: pandemic related anxiety … Continue reading Home Page Post #25

Hi! I have lived with the words “You ought to see my heart” in my sketch book for at least 10 years. Fragments of song lyrics such as these – along with old craft and needlework projects, deteriorating mirrors and picture frames, remnants of yarn and notions, and vintage office and art supplies – are among … Continue reading Home Page Post #24
“Don’t Go”
I’ll block your path/Throw myself on the floor/At your feet/Between you and the door
“Morning Already”
Well, would you look at that/The world’s no longer flat/I know where the door is/And I can breathe
“The Last Straw”
And the last time somebody pushed me too far/Was the last time they pushed me too far/But if you want to try it, go on ahead/You’ll find out how sorry you are
“You Ought to See My Heart”
I’ve never seen it but I just know / It shines, it beams, it gleams, it glows / It’s my most beautiful part / So, you ought to see my heart
