- When I started this blog that dear friend (who has a thing about grammar and spelling) offered to edit my blog. He says it is as "Close to Compulsive" as he gets. Sure. Here is the text...make me look pretty baby.For the few that he has done I am grateful for. Completely grateful. Then I think he realized I churn out blogs like I down a glass of wine. He sent me an email: If there ...

- I'm in a room at some funeral parlor. My grandmom is in the casket (not looking like Lena Horne). I don't really know where I am. It is a strange place. Lots of 70's wood paneling. A dirge is playing but it is a cross of Elton John's Funeral for a Friend and In the Garden of Eden by Iron Butterfly. There is no familiar face in the crowd of people in this room around the coffin. I ...

- To: A Male Friend From: Shaun Landry cc: My Realization Date: The Holidays 2007 Re: Evite to a PartySo, when I was younger, I basically picked up my husband at a party like this.

I was born in ...

- Walking down the street after a show this morning righteously hung over from a reception the night before, we started to discuss the idea of the Internet and how it has affected our patterns of social behavior. Even to the point of cycles of sleep: You can do more than what we could have ever done not more than 20 years ago, so much, even our patterns of nocturne are disturbed. ...

- When you get onto Facebook, you get a choice of completely useless “Applications” that you can add to make the experience more fun. In turn, your email gets flooded with things you never wish to really have. “Your friend that you have not seen in ten years has sent you a growing egg that you don’t wish to put into you profile.” “A friend of a friend has just turned you into a ...

My husband. Those cast members. Myself:Thank you for coming to our show! We are here every Friday and Saturday Night ... and remember, Lesbian Dancing after the show!Another stereotype checked off for ...

- As an actor, I have always said this about other actors who are far more popular and successful than myself: Congratulations on that agent. No malice. No hate. Seriously. Congratulations on that agent.I would suppose this could easily translate to other professions that attract media attention: musicians (congrats on the record contract), sports figures (congrats on the whoever scouted you), and ...

- I Got It. Right HERE! January 4, 2008 It’s a small empowerment for women around the world and I would like to share. Watching the Iowa Caucus on CNN, Anderson Cooper comes on with The Magic Pie Chart. At one point they could not get this floating pie chart to come up. Finally, in the worst GCI graphics I have ever seen, it starts floating around, causing titters from the other newscasters ...
