And because it contains a good story (; Don’t worry – we’ll be back soon! *Scene, almost five years ago* Jessica: We need another woman for our murder mystery. Someone…

  • … but I got chosen by Draw You Maybe! Chaz Hutton became one of my fave IG follows because of his great comics. And then he started drawing his followers, so I found great artists and travelers to brighten up my feed. So imagine my surprise to get this notification…. I rarely win anything, and…

    Know Your Worth

    This popped up in my fb memories today. How could I forget this glorious piece of campy joy?? Oh, that’s right – because while I was playing one of my dream roles, I was also in the midst of a toxic work situation and my mental health was at a very, very low point. Know…

    Mini-Break, Mini-Reviews

    Traffic on our recent Atlantic City trip was appalling – delays on the way up due to pounding rain and on the way back due to crashes and construction. I volunteered to help drive, but then Hampton couldn’t rage, so I just had to spend hours and hours reading. Shucks (; Honestly, at this point, I’ve…

  • Much like one of my favorite fictional heroines, Bridget Jones, I love a good mini-break. Hampton and I originally had plans to do a big French vacation for our 5th/my 40th… but then we bought a house. So we did three mini-breaks this spring and summer instead. And totally saved money, I’m sure. Since I’m…

    Books Change Your Mind

    Books are a form of political action. Books are knowledge. Books are reflection. Books change your mind. — Toni Morrison If we read outside our spheres of knowledge, we realize how much we all have in common, no matter our histories or skin colors — and we appreciate what makes others’ differences beautiful.

    Go Big & Go Home

    As mentioned before, I don’t usually celebrate my birthday, and my friend Jenny has good ideas and a way with a camera. Besides excellent peer pressuring skills. What started as a joke turned into… something else altogether. If you only celebrate your birthday once a decade, make it count, yeah? So, now that things have calmed down…

    I’m still processing what it was like to play one of my dream roles. And not just any dream role, the one I was most terrified to actually do and the one I have wanted the longest. See, I realized early on that my parents would never let me be a child star. So, despite…
