I love (love, love, LOVE) Storch’s seniors. You haven’t really experienced them until they’ve played too many rounds of charades, eaten too many servings of tiramisu, and left WAY too many messages on their former dorm parents’ answering machine! Thankfully, Paul and Beth love them as much as I do and actually saved the […]
September, 1982. It is late. My first day at a new school in a new country surrounded by new people is behind me. I survived it–kind of. My body stayed present while my mind reeled at so much newness. It traveled away from painful reality and clung to memories, wishes and yearning. I am at BFA […]
I think I might be sick. I mean seriously, mind-and-body sick. You see, I’ve always been a promoter of boredom. Boredom is my friend. Boredom means I have time–time to catch up on emails, time to read silly books, time to go on much needed, shrink-the-tummy-goiter walks, time to wander over to France for a […]
Ah, Paris! Comme je t’adore!!! Just back from 48 action-packed hours in the city of love with…well…Mari Ellen, but hey, if it can’t be George Clooney. she’s the next best thing–for entirely different reasons! Day one was: Mont-Martre, P?e Lachaise (cemetery), Notre Dame, St. Germain des Pr? (church), the Champs Elys?s (Planet Hollywood!!), and the […]
Hello everyone! It’s nearly April, and the big news for the month is: A SUPER-DUPER BOOK SALE!! Looking for something to take home to mom for Easter break? Thinking ahead to birthdays that are happening in the next few months? Wanting to send something to someone who doesn’t “get” the MK thing? Look no further! […]
Okay, so I trotted across the Riedlingen valley yesterday to watch a movie with my buddy Renee, her phlegmatic posterchild hubby, and her bubbly friend Bee. At least, that’s what I told myself as I got closer and closer to a house where I knew popcorn would be flowing in insanely vast proportions for the […]
I believe Jeremy’s life was hanging in the balance when last I wrote. He had carelessly spoken words that had spurred me toward revenge, and I was pondering the various avenues my retribution might take. For further details, read the previous entry! To be truthful, I must admit that my vengeful instincts have taken a […]
Alright, I’ve got my sharpest, most lethal looking imaginary tools in hand and am now prepared to pick that bone I was telling you about last week. And a big bone it is. So if you were imagining that a toothpick-like instrument would be adequate for the job, think again. This instrument, imaginary as it […]
Some of you have been wondering (whining?) about my recent silence. Just so you know, it’s not caused by lack of interest or lack of subject-matter. Rather, it’s the result of an over-abundance of subject matter! I’m currently in the throes of three massive productions of Candlelight Dinner, which means that every waking moment is […]
Alright, I promised you my new year’s resolutions, so I’d better follow through. But rather than make a list of things I WILL do in the next twelve months, I thought it would be much more “French” of me to make a negative list of things I WON’T do! After all, if French cinematographers have […]
