in rememberance of my high school journals
I would just like to say that I am super glad that tumblr and twitter and facebook did not exist when I was a tortured adolescent. I have recently been poking about this here little internet machine site and seeing my high school self in some really public places. I feel like I share a lot online in some ways, but it is a crafted presence. I feel pretty sure that I would have embarrassed myself in...

My People
My People by Langston Hughes The night is beautiful, So the faces of my people. The stars are beautiful, So the eyes of my people. Beautiful, also, is the sun. Beautiful, also, are the souls of my people.
Working on a lesson for my 5th and 6th grade after school theatre group; not using this poem today, but it is one I actually only recently discovered.
On my very first day of graduate school...

Walk around the house singing current pop songs with the lyrics slightly altered to replace most nouns with the names of your cats?
Exactly. I’m so glad to know that one more person is out there singing the names of their cats out loud. It’s like, we’re not alone, you know?
tabathashaun asked: I've started my day watching your solo performance piece! I'm very much enjoying it. I'm on part three, and I just wanted to let you know this before I finish it and get distracted and forget.

First of all, I feel bad for Justin Bieber, because I was a complete dumbass when I was his age, too, and no one was preserving my words for all eternity. Ohhh, except for the fawning embarrassing praise I left on a Paul Simon bulletin board in the late nineties. That’s still there. (Still love…
Dude. Stop.

Black History Month
This post isn’t exactly about Black History Month.
It happens to coincide with Black History Month. I am working on a drama lesson plan that uses poetry and short stories as a way into drama work with 5th and 6th graders.

So. I am starting with a poem by...

It's The Day of The Show Ya'll
I submitted my NYCFringe application for How To Be A Lesbian in 10 Days or Less. This performance would hopefully be a lot less like doing Covered Wagons again with Corky at the Blaine Sesquicentennial.
It’s sort of a long shot and then sort of not. But the work on the application and the thinking about the show and why it would both be ready for a production in New York and why it...

Celebrity Skin
The title of this post doesn’t have a lot to do with anything else except how I have been remembering my high school love of the band Hole and the song Celebrity Skin in particular. So I’m listening to it while I try to write something that will touch on all the places my brain and body have been these days and somehow coalesce around a shared theme. Shall we?
I’ve had the...
