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 […]

I LOVE a good New Year’s Eve party… Really, I do. So I spent yesterday morning soaking in the tub, then wasted the afternoon at the beauty parlor getting my hair, makeup and nails done, before wandering into my massive walk-in closet and selecting the perfect Donna Karan dress for the evening.

My mom received an email […]

Well, my mittens and snow-shoes are packed, and I’m off to the world of Syberian cold and unrelenting snow. Ew. Make that a giant EW. But I’ll be with my family for Christmas, which makes the icy roads and biting wind nearly bearable. I shall endeavor to keep in touch from the bitter cold of […]

I spent several hours at the Colmar Christmas Market last night, under pouring rain, and was once again reminded of how very beaufiful, whimsical and quaint the holidays can be in this part of the world. What a simply wonderful place! I wanted to “talk business” one last time before I leave Germany for a […]

AND THE WINNER IS: FIONA!! She asked the right questions of the right people and discovered the meaning behind Casey’s name. And won herself a free book in the process!! There may be further contests in the future, so keep your eyes on the site and think fast… Book orders are coming in steadily. Remember […]

A couple of you have gotten pretty close to finding the answer to the official “tidal pools xanga contest”! (see previous post) Let me add one more hint: Think in terms of foreign languages…. Yup. Foreign languages! Remember, the first one to get it receives a free book! (Students, there’s a staff member getting mighty […]
