I don't know a ton about dance. I know what I like, but then I'm like that person who always orders pad thai when they go for Thai food... I guess, to keep the analogy alive, unless they're…
Um, I apparently have a column at The Awl. It's about vegetables, obvs, and the farmers market and food politics and stuff. So, there's that.
When I was in college, I took a dramaturgy class that hinged on the idea of "dramatic action." It's what happens over the course of a play, what changes. There's a moment of revelation in …
I can't help but wonder what the pregnant woman one seat over me thought of Smudge, Rachel Axler's strange, dark comedy that I saw at Women's Project a few weeks ago. Smudge is very much a …
Hi people. I'm slowly emerging from under the five-hundred-calls-a-day-shaped anvil that fell on me at work a week and a half ago. I know there are several horrible layers of irony to be c…
Well, I guess what happens when you're a receptionist at an international aide organization and there's a massive fucking earthquake in Haiti is that suddenly your job becomes INSANE. In a …
(917): excuse me while i cry like a baby(646): Get on your feet and clap! And love America!FTH.
So I had a stomach bug yesterday, which has mostly resolved itself into a little left-over fever and some trepidation about eating anything scarier than toasted white bread, but yesterday it…
My New Year's Eve was a chill, lovely event which thank god did not involve being anywhere near Times Square. (I am not going to let this drop. It is a TERRIBLE IDEA.) It did, however, invo…
I saw a lot of plays last year, a lot of theatre. About 50 things, total. And looking over that list, the things that I loved are:a stand-up comedian's solo showa one-man clown memoira met…
Not to post the same thing here and on twitter and on tumblr, but this is a special occasion.would it kill you to rotate, little .gif?Lea Salonga.Singing "Poker Face."Really, really well.Min…
OMG, guys. You may remember, as many unsuccessful google searchers see, that long ago I posted this, re: my inability to find the "Are You a Wasteroo?" cartoon from Sesame Street on YouTube.…
You slackers are lucky. Normally, theatre is fleeting - it's not like a movie you can watch on DVD, a book you can reread, a record you can reset the needle on and play again on your turnta…
First of all: What the FUCK, New York State Senate?? Seriously?! Second of all: With one exception - Toby Ann Stavinsky - every State Senator in Queens voted against gay marriage.Third of …
Okay, yes, I know, I did not NaBloPoMo, to turn that into a verb, yesterday. But I have a good reason! Not my fault, once my leaving things to the last second is discounted! I got home las…

Thanksgiving is without a doubt my favorite holiday. The actual dinner, of course, the gathering of family and eating of delicious food - and yes, shut up, there is plenty for a vegetarian …
In all the to-do of the parade, family dinner, and then heading back to my mom's little house in the big woods yesterday, I missed a day of NaBloPoMo blogging. And Isaac would probably yell…
In my new flush life as a part-time receptionist, I've been finding myself eating out a bit more. It's fun! And I think I've been very lucky, because although I'm still a little... abstemi…
It's been two weeks since I saw the show, so now seems like the perfect time to blog about the Ragtime revival on Broadway, right?Perfect.I had a conversation with a coworker yesterday - thi…
I mean, I should probably get back into the habit of writing this stuff during the day, at work, when I'm chained to a desk for five hours with a phone that rings maybe every 20 minutes. Bu…
Mostly because it's a pain to follow tumblrs with an rss feed, but then also because reblogging the lovely things, such as tweeness and pictures of animals, that other people post on tumblr …
If we thought yesterday's post was NaBloPoMo perfunctory, well... I just got home from my cousin's bar mitzvah (to which I wore oxford flats with my dress, which was an amazing decision), an…
Whooooaboy, who almost missed blogging today? But NaBloPoMo lives on! I've only got six minutes left, and can't write anything half-decent in that time. But I read something today that mad…
