Last year I tried doing some Poetry in Motion pictures, where I layered lines from my poetry along with evocative background images. Now that my graphic design skills have improved, I thought I would try an updated version. I hope you enjoy! Click here for the full poem. Click here for the full poem. About … Continue reading »
Well, you can’t have a dream And cut it to fit but when I saw you I knew we’d go together Like a wink and a smile -A Wink and A Smile, Harry Connick Jr
And the seasons they go round and round And the painted ponies go up and down We’re captive on the carousel of time We can’t return, we can only look behind From where we came And go round and round and round In the circle game – “The Circle Game”, Joni Mitchell
(Please imagine the title of this post being said in Barney’s weird high-pitched voice from the episode “Spoiler Alert”) It didn’t even occur to me to attempt to draw a mall when this seemed like such an easy clue! And, to their credit, “M-A-L-L” was being filled in before I even got to writing Robin … Continue reading »
As if turning 30 this November isn’t bad enough, AARP is apparently ready to indoctrinate me as an official old person a full two decades ahead of schedule: First they suggest that I’m officially an old lady, and then they add insult to injury by mentioning a FREE INSULATED TRAVEL BAG that I’m not actually … Continue reading »
I’ve noticed a somewhat disturbing trend in pop culture recently, wherein people suggest using two condoms at once (“double bagging”) for double the condom efficacy. Except that actually equals less protection, not more. Edited to add: Molly: Are you gonna be double bagging your junk on our honeymoon? Mike & Molly, season 2 episode 18 “Peggy … Continue reading »
“We are here to make you think about death and get sad and stuff!” I see this whenever I walk down the street to Starbucks, and I always get this song stuck in my head afterwards. So now it can be stuck in your head, too!
-”Unchained Melody”, The Righteous Brothers
2 AM and I’m still awake writing this song If I get it all down on paper It’s no longer inside of me Threatening the life it belongs to. And I feel like I’m naked in front of a crowd Cause these words are my diary Screamin’ out loud And I know that you’ll use … Continue reading »
We’re clearly soldiers in petticoats And dauntless crusaders for woman’s votes Though we adore men individually We agree that as a group they’re rather stupid! Cast off the shackles of yesterday! Shoulder to shoulder into the fray! Our daughters’ daughters will adore us And they’ll sign in grateful chorus “Well done, Sister Suffragette!” From Kensington … Continue reading »
Monday’s How I Met Your Mother had drunken Ted singing “We built chip city…we built chip city on all your dough!” Then, Thursday’s New Girl gave us Schmidt’s rendition”We built this Schmidty…we built this Schmidty on Tootsie Rolls!”(based on Schmidt’s still chubby since third grade size, I’m assuming he meant the candy, not the dance) … Continue reading »
Our love is volatile, chemical, anything but typical. I want you badly, I love you…madly. -Mad Love TV show theme song

Nobody lives without love Nobody gets to give up You can try to lock your heart away But love will come back for you someday Nobody lives without love -Eddi Reader
You know, this isn’t the first time this has happened to me This love sick thing I like serious relationships and A girl like me don’t stay single for long Cause everytime a boyfriend and I break up My world is crushed and I’m all alone The love bug crawls right back up and bites … Continue reading »
I have sentenced myself to these sentences Writing my wrongs in past and present tenses My crimes of passion all require punishment Those hearts that I’ve broken won’t let me forget…
If today was not an endless highway, If tonight was not a crooked trail, If tomorrow wasn’t such a long time, Then lonesome would mean nothing to you at all. -Bob Dylan
Well it’s faded and torn, been through the war We’ve gone and got ourselves in I can’t give up, and you won’t surrender So it’s back to the trenches again If a soldier of love is what I must be I carry some comfort around with me Times like these, when I’m lonesome and blue … Continue reading »
First, the quote: ELLE: If you walked into a woman’s house, what one item would convince you that you weren’t compatible? W: If she had condoms in her house, that would just f-ckin’ throw me off. That’s just tacky. Wait, what? I don’t even know where to begin with how all kinds of wrong he … Continue reading »
