Quarantine Reads
What We Are Up Against
Tomorrow July 9th from 4 to 6pm at 7 Stages Theater in Little Five Points, we are going to try something new. It’s called an Activism Cabaret, and it’s a way to be entertained, inspired, and connected to action all at the same time. Tix at http://bit.ly/whatweareupagainst Yesterday I posted about one of our amazing…
Out and About
I’m going to change the name and purpose of this blog because we aren’t in quarantine anymore, but life still doesn’t feel normal to me. One of my major personality characteristics is that I like verbal expressions of emotions to accurately reflect as much as possible external realities, and for this reason, it’s a shame…
The Bardo of Dude Perfect
We’ve passed the two year mark of the beginning of Covid, and I haven’t been able to read a book in months and months and months. I’m not sure exactly why this is, but it does happen periodically. Maybe in this case it is because at the beginning of Covid, I was so terrified and…
Cave Art at Its Finest
I have a confession to make. I work for a church. There, I said it. I have for thirteen years…my secret (deeply conflicted) love affair with institutional religion hidden away from the eyes of the world because I work with people who come here as refugees so it seems like I’m a social worker. Well,…
The Great 14th Free Book Give Away!
We have too many books. It’s taken me thirty years to acknowledge it, but it’s true. And with so many books, there just isn’t any space for new ones…and so….it is time for the Great Book Give Away!!! not this Saturday but next Saturday Aug 14th outside of my house from 10 am -7pm. Show…
Quarantine Reads about Quarantine
It’s weird that the last couple of books I’ve picked up totally randomly are about pandemics. It’s weirder still that I didn’t immediately put them down and have found them quite readable. People keep telling me about “Sweet Tooth”, a show about a pandemic on Netflix, and I watched the trailer and was like “ahh,…
Wanna perform?
Storytime Cabaret, an eclectic group of aerial, reality storytelling, drag, burlesque performers and musicians who come together at different venues in Atlanta and beyond, successfully launched at the end of May. Launching something new on the tail end of Covid has been quite the adventure, but we managed to pull off a sold out show…
Your First Night Out in a While
You may have noticed in my bio that it says I am writing a book blog during Covid until my Cabaret gets up and running again. Well folks, the time has come. Storytime Cabaret is back!!! To say it is back is actually a misnomer because our first show was scheduled for March 13, 2020,…
Lifetime 50 Top Movies
I needed something to calm myself down from the country’s recent traumatic events, and I’m turning 50 this year so I decided to make this list of 50 just for the fun of it and remember some movies I’d long forgotten about and maybe go back and watch some. I’ve broken them into categories with…
The Sad Veracity of the Guru Gadfly or Why Can’t Just One Cult Leader Be a Nice Guy?
A few years ago my partner Julie, a professor, asked me to watch a movie with her that she was introducing for a university film festival. It’s called The Source, named after one of the first health food stores in the United States that was owned by a man who changed his name to Father…
