Ready? OKAY. Watching episode one of RuPaul’s Drag Race is like getting to see what happens in my freaking mind while I sleep. Everything is there: vaseline-hazy drag model celeb injunctions to drink Swedish vodka, 90s deep house transition music, super contoured three-color eye makeup, people saying things like “I have a lot of really [...]

Karaoke parlors, I am speaking to you now.
This is a wish-list of personal karaoke jams that only fail as karaoke jams in that they are often not listed in your binders. Unfortunately, for me anyway, these are the same songs that most cohere with my vocal range and disposition. As a result, I am [...]

Meet the new lion, same as the old lion.

This is a word cloud of the most frequently-occurring words in my poetry manuscript. I guess somebody likes “like” around here, and bears.

If Stevie Nicks were anything at all like public radio, I would have to give her twenty dollars right now because I have been listening to “Stand Back” all day long and I want to continue my support of this programming. But since Stevie Nicks does not accept Paypal donations (unless she does? TELL ME) [...]
