A few weeks ago I decided I needed to paint a mural in my dining room. I’m pretty big into Feng Shui and this particular wall is in the Love & Relationship portion of my home. The last year has seen

The other day, I found this plant at Fred Meyer all wilted and dying. I brought the little fella up to the cashier and he sold it to me for $.99 since it clearly was on its way out. I took it home, drenched

I don't feel comfortable performing solo shows anymore. I stopped a long time ago and forgot until recently how vulnerable I feel after a show without my band mates. You see, I have a couple of

I spend 4 hours in an acting class on Monday nights and I always doodle on the back of my sides. This is what I do instead of biting my nails.

I've been diving down I like this part Til I startle at the sound Of my own heart I need to catch my breath To avoid uncertain death But you've found Another way around With life support But I'm coming

Today I did some preparing for the short film we will be shooting on Sunday. It is a low budget Indie that takes place in the 80's so I'm doing my own hair and makeup. My hair is super long and ultra fine

I was horrified to discover today that a Facebook friend, a woman I worked with many years ago and have a great deal of respect for, was having problems with the neighbor's cat pooping in her vegetable

I was invited to a table read today for a short film about a Chinese food delivery guy who accidentally stumbles into an assassination plot and is held hostage by an eccentric middle-aged woman named Susan.

Over the Weekend I quietly snuck over the 200 mark for followers. It might not seem like a big deal compared to all those whales out there but it is pretty exciting for me and I feel the need to celebrate.

This week we had out first round of auditions for my original country musical "Whiskey Dixie & The Big Wet Country." We rented a small production space on Wednesday and Thursday and sat through

We were one of many vehicles that were stuck on the Broadway Bridge as the bridge was up. The disgruntled motorists inspired me to spontaneously burst into song. Here's the damage:

There are some pretty cool businesses going up in my neighborhood. The whole block has been under constant construction for the past two years. In some ways it has been a nightmare. I have a recording

Pre-concert pic with the homies (the lecher is my bandmate, Steve). On Monday evening I had the privilege of attending a Stephen Stills (of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young) & Judy Collins concert.

I'll just leave these right here.
