I'd like to expand my friend list and add some interesting people/writers.

any recommendations?

my friend Meg was amused/astounded by my ability to sleep in odd places. I think its skill that is acquired by the sleep deprived combined with living far from home. When sleep is heavy and a bed far away, and a window of time opens up, let's say an hour...then a folding chair in a corner, a dusty rehearsal couch in a dark classroom, or literally ( Read more... )

i've been nostalgic for my own nostalia. i've been breaking my heart lately reading emails from 2001-2004. mainly emails from k. oh god ( Read more... )

I had to post this... Whenever there is a crime, there is an email from Chief James A. Perrotti, usually describing a backpack heist or other kind of robbery. Below is a fake message written by some pranksters ( Read more... )

It was one of the most senseless acts of violence I have seen performed on an inanimate object in a long time. Ready to go home, after another drizzly early December New Haven day, I tied the ropy chord to a strap on my backpack as I prepared to bicycle home. Thinking this may not hold, I also could not put the umbrella into my bag where it would ( Read more... )

In the second part of this story, I freeze the plenty. Later I microwave/defrost the gluten-free cookies on a "need-by-need" basis, usually consisting of 1-3 cookies a day. When the defrost button doesn't seem to defrost quickly enough, I decide to put it in the microwave for 30 seconds. I take a bite of the cookie, and the melted chocolate ( Read more... )

I sat with a friend during the run of a show. We were both in our usher blacks and name tags. I had a homemade salad, he with his pa-se-ew. He was jealous of the homey and healthful look of my home lunch with garden grown veggies, and I took longing whiffs of garlic and soy sauce, impossible for me to even have a bite of, and the satisfying width ( Read more... )

or buy a kit that looks sort of like a coffee machine like this

It doesn't scan very well but somehow I amused myself. This is a song one character sings to another in the faux musical section of my new play.... I'm open to suggestions. Ideally it should function as a real song, so maybe I should get off my ass and make sure it scans and tracks better. UGH lyric writing is hard, even when you try to do it ( Read more... )

I spent most of Saturday digging up plants and crowding them into pots and bringing them inside. My roommate came in and said "Goodness!" as I had turned both levels of the house into a veritable vegetable jungle. Now that the frost advisory is over, I've moved everything back outside, hoping the extra bit of sunlight will do things good ( Read more... )
