utterly baffled
Sometimes I'm out there in the world, going hither and yon and I see things, patterns of behavior, that really, truly baffle me. For example, you're standing and waiting for the elevator and the call button is already pressed and visibly lit, but every new person who walks over has to......Read More

a random thought this morning
On my way to work, during my 90 second commute, I was pondering the trend in movies and books that pits humanity against various external foes or enemies; aliens, demons, etc. And I just have to say that what struck me was the way we, as a global culture and society, seem to absolutely love......Read More

happy friday and a case of the mondays...seriously
Am I the only one who saw Office Space and got the joke? Every week, at my job, which thousands of people in this town would kill for, I have to sit through endless repetitions of the whole pissy, pouty "crap, I hate Mondays" routine...and then the equally obnoxious "Happy......Read More

an experiment in nutritional synthesis
Today I begin testing a theory, upon myself, about combining the Master Cleanser lemonade fast with a fruit fast. About 10 years ago, I undertook my first MC cycle, fasting and drinking only the special lemonade and additional water for 10 days. It wasn't easy but it was eye......Read More

to be or not to be...having children
I've gone back and forth on the whole issue of whether or not I want to have children or be a mom, which are not necessarily the same thing, ever since I was in my 20s. I knew girls in high school who were already quite certain of their calling to motherhood, and a few of them started as......Read More

could it be this simple?
Sometimes I really am the LAST person to know who and what I am, I swear. But this morning I'm starting to feel rather like Harry Potter when he found HIS wand. All these years, I studied acting on and off, spent time writing lovely scripts and novels I'd keep to myself (that will......Read More

say goodbye to freedom of choice, or religion
I came across this article this morning (see blow) and I am appalled at this story, but it illustrates exactly what I've been harping upon and discussing with friends for years...that we are living with the illusion of freedom, nothing more. We're free to choose as long as the powers that......Read More

gurus, messiahs and saviors
Listen, maybe you can help shed some light on something that has baffled and frustrated me for a very long time...what is with this apparently common human need to worship and follow some sort of guru, messiah or savior?! WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY???? What on EARTH would prompt a live......Read More
