Ed. Note: It’s bothering me that in my tag cloud, Taiwan is as big as Alan Rickman. So, I am going to tag every post with ‘Alan Rickman’ until this is no longer true. Fun Alan Rickman fact: he’s been with his partner, Rima Horton, for 45 years. They are not married, and [...]
I have a few conflicting ideas running through my brain that I haven’t thought out completely, so I’m just going to dump them here.
By the way, Alan Rickman as the Caterpillar? Bring it. I love Tim Burton’s work, even when I hate the result (Big Fish, par exemple, even though it has the yummy Ewan [...]
I had taiji today. Wait, let me back up a second. In my last therapy session, I talked with my therapist about not wanting to let the flashbacks distract me. I have no desire to have any kind of real relationship with my father, so there is no reason to dwell on the flashbacks. [...]
So, I have been thinking about this job thing. I thought about my strengths. People like to talk to me; I have a psych background; I am a writer and a performer with a very creative imagination. I have a husky, sexy voice. I LOVE sex, and I am not in anyway ready for a [...]
I had therapy yesterday this week instead of tomorrow as usual. It was an unusually productive session. I will talk about it more in a minute, but first, I am going to bitch a second about how unfair it is that I can’t get drunk without feeling immediate physical side-effects–and I’m not talking pleasant ones.

I have OCD issues with one interesting outlier: I tend to be easily sidetracked. When I am having a conversation, I will follow a different thought until its logical conclusion, and then I will return to the main discussion. Or, I will use the tangent to launch a completely different subject altogether. Part of this [...]
Many years ago, I performed a piece called Shedding Skins. It was about how as we mature, we change our beliefs. I had on different personae outfits that I shed as I did the piece. At the end, I recited a poem I wrote and stripped down to my panties. I left the panties on [...]

I had a tough session today. My therapist told me things I did not want to hear, but they needed to be said. Let me be clear that my therapist cares very deeply about me. She also won’t put up with my shit. Which is good because I am very good at throwing out shit [...]
First of all, I would like to say to the companies who spend a bajillion dollars on the Super Bowl ads: It’s not a smart idea to alienate a good chunk of your prospective consumers by creating such fucking misogynistic ads. Yeah, I’m looking at you, Bridgestone, for whomever the fuck Jim Nantz was pimping, [...]
