Turn up the termostat I wanna see you sweat

Porno told me this week that "Take this job and shove it" was my last blog entry.  I totally didn't realize it.  I don't really want that to be your last impression of me, friends and reader...

Take this job and shove it

Teenage hopes are alive at your door

Thought I would quickly update while I wait for my dye bath to boil: Today actually started in a kind of amazingly cathartic (but very private) way. I will say only that when you have a chance to put ...

See you on the other side

So, here we are again.  The theatre season has officially begun which means that over the next 6 weeks, ange-sightings are probably going to be rare.  VIF has finally scheduled a show so I w...
