Where's My Megaphone?

*drags forward a fair trade certified, paraben and phthalate free soap box, gives it a little dust off, climbs on, clears throat*

Rod Stewart is the Antichrist.

No wait, that’s not what I wanted to talk about today.  Though while we’re slightly off topic and I’ve already made one reference to parabens and phthalates, please please PLEASE go [...]

A Visit to the MoMA

I feel like it should be raining.  The sunny day somehow seems incongruous with my mood.  Maybe I just need some high fructose corn syrup or something.

The Frugal Repast (Le Repas frugal)

Yesterday, I went to see the exhibit “Picasso: Themes and Variations.”  You know I love me some Picasso.  (Just not quite the same [...]

Glitter For the Greater Good

Holy Broadway, Batman – I am pooped.  Last night was a combo thingy of a bachelorette shindig for Bridezilla and my favorite glittery charity event – Broadway Bares.  Did I mention the show started at midnight?  Yeah, I’m way too old for this shit.  That’s why I’m currently looking an awful lot like today’s Craftastrophe.

There [...]

Grizzly Adams

Seeing as how it’s Pride Month and I’m in Chicago recovering from a 7am event (after a dinner event last night and a 7am breakfast event in Detroit yesterday) I’m just going to share a little snippet of a conversation with my little brother, Thom.  We were out to dinner with Matt and Gwen in the [...]

Figment

Three days and two showers later, I’m still picking glitter out of my pubes.  I know I prattled on yesterday about how nifty the island was, but I have to tell you about the magic that was specifically Figment, too.

FIGMENT’s vision for art looks past the white-walled galleries and into the realm of participation. Art [...]

'ello Guvna

There are days when I can’t imagine ever leaving this area.  Then I read the Travel section of the New York Times and I can’t imagine ever staying in this area.  But then I spend a random Saturday wandering around an abandoned military installation overrun for the day with artsy hippies, and I know I’ll never [...]

Radio, Radio

This morning I awoke to the sweet dulcet tones of Mildred wailing as she tried to claw her way out of the water bowl she’d somehow fallen into around 6am.  Seriously.  I’m starting to wonder if managed to find a kitten even dumber than Lucy.

Thanks for all the sweet comments and notes yesterday, Interwebz.  I didn’t [...]

City Strolling

First my lovelies, you’ve got one week left to send me your stories for a chance to win your very own original Elly artwork.  When you win, you can make fun of my penchant for glitter on Craftastrophe.

Speaking of which, it’s Monday – which means I spent the weekend trolling the Interwebz for frightening crafts.  This [...]

Lunch is the Most Important Meal of the Day

Day 5.  No cell phone.  I’m about this far *making same hand gesture I use to describe Tom Cruise’s penis* from painting a keypad with my own blood onto a volleyball and calling it Webster.  Fortunately, I don’t think I can fit a volleyball in my back pocket.  If the real Webster 7.0 doesn’t show up [...]

What Goes Around

For this post to make sense, you might need to read about how I spent my last Earth Day and met Melora Love.

Melora and I met for drinks last night, now that we have an official standing date to meet for drinks each and every Earth Day.  I suggested we meet at a tiny, quiet bar [...]
