Oh boy… This blog post comes from two puffy eyes, a mountain of tissues, mascara everywhere except my eyes, and an unholy amount of youtubeing. What was I doing, you ask? I will tell you. I was watching scores of “welcome home soldiers” videos on youtube. There is an entire genre of videos based on […]

I have a very private obsession with Seth Rudetsky. He’s a Broadway pianist and semi-performer who has translated his HILARIOUS personality into a contract with Playbill.com. His web series, OBSESSED!, features him interviewing different Broadway performers each week about their hijinks and hilarities. I bring him up because I recently read a BBC article about […]

So, I have just come back from the FABULOUS Brother/ Sisters plays at Company One! Disclaimer, due to family engagements, I was only able to see the last two, The Brothers Size and Marcus today.

Okay guys, I have been chewing this quotation form Orson Scott Card over for a few weeks now. I cannot get it out of my head, and I thought I should share it with you. Orson Scott Card is the author of the Ender’s Game series. He’s a devout Mormon and this series is complete […]

In high school I competed a lot in speech and debate competitions, and during the down time we tended to discuss the merit of come of our competition. (ie. rip them apart) A theme we constantly berated was the overuse of what we called the three R’s: rape, race, and religion. I came home again […]

“The bones are hard and by themselves seem dead and stony, but by rooting into and pulling against the skeleton, the rest of the body carries out all the motions of life.” In getting over sickness, I always find myself picking up childhood books. Today as I languished (being sick is one of the few times at […]

Her one woman show, Bridge and Tunnel, won a TONY in 2006. She’s incredibly talented and also an amazing human rights activist. However, the main reason I’m posting this video is […]

I will be addicted to TED videos till the day I die, and here is an excellent one. It tells the story of the Handspring Puppet Company. You most likely know this company because of their amazing production War Horse on Broadway (which I have yet to see). This video brings some really cool insight […]
