  • Giving Too Much

    Giving Too Much

    Ever since my family became devout, they became regular tithers and givers. Before I go further, I should point out there is nothing wrong with giving as long as that giving isn’t negatively affecting your life (or that of your kids/family). Which, I realized somewhat recently is the case with my own family. They started out…

    This Week in Art & Life (But Mostly Pictures)

    Last weekend Alex and I went to New York to see some comedy shows as an early anniversary thing and it was awesome. We saw The Thrilling Adventure Hour and Comedy Bang! Bang! and went to a movie and checked out central park and generally had an awesome weekend. Then we drove all night Sunday…

  • Reminders

    Reminders

    I’ve posted this before several times, but sometimes I’m at this point where I just need to listen to it again… I’m at a point in my creative cycle where I feel like all of my goals are unattainable, that I’ll never be where I want to be. I feel like everyone is just better…

  • Child of Light

    Child of Light

      Child of Light and it is the most beautiful and refreshing game. ever. I am having all of the feelings. I love that the protagonist is a badass little girl, especially in light of what some of my friends have been facing this week, re: sexism.

    Kiery Gets Shots

    So, I’ve talked before about how medically neglectful my parents were…and how they believed in faith healing instead of going to the doctor, because doctors are evil.

  • Flying in the Face of Everything

    Flying in the Face of Everything

    I’ve always tried to fly under the radar, to exist in the shadows, and to be invisible. I spent my entire childhood perfecting that skill, trying to go as unnoticed by my parents as I could, because being noticed always ended up going over poorly for me.  Simultaneously, it’s all I’ve ever wanted and needed…

    20 Things About Me That You Probably Already Knew But I Talk About Booze And Look, The Title Is So Hip Right Now

    When I wrote that letter to my parents, I included a list of things about me because…I don’t know, it felt like the thing to do, and then I realized some of this stuff might be handy to list here because it’s interesting and a lot of this isn’t new at all, but I also…
