Myth Me Musings (20): God and the Government

I was just doing my nightly blog check, and read this article on CNN’s 360 blog.  Basically it’s a commentary on Rev. White’s “God Damn America” speech that’s been widely talked about this week (I’m still waiting for the Obama supporters over at LME to weigh in on this speech–love you guys, but you know [...]

Help me readers, you’re my only hope

I’ve got three things that I need to start writing:

A piece for Radio All-Stars on March 30th.  Topic?  Oh wait, there isn’t one.  Seven minutes, whatever I want to write.
A piece for Rockstar Storytellers on April 4th.  Topic? Eat My Shorts: Stories of Anger (Mis)Management.
My Fringe Show, Myth Me.

What would people like to heard for [...]

Myth Musings (19): The Island

I’m sitting here watching tonight’s episode of Lost, an hour late ’cause, well, the Tower called. It’s good to see an episode that centers around Michael (Harold Perrineau). He’s been gone for a season and a half. But Perrinaeau is such an engaging actor. I’ve loved him ever since Baz Luhrman’s [...]

Home again

The drive is done.  James is sleeping on the floor near me, very happy that I’m home.  NCAA basketball is on, which is awesome.  And my foot doesn’t have to think about pushing the accelerator any more today, unless it’s over to the Tower for a couple beers.

Myth Me Musings (18): God’s Country

We did a show Monday at Emroy and Henry College in Emory, Virginia.  As much moaning I did about it being a) in the middle of nowhere with b) no bar open after the show to get in some St. Patrick’s Day action, I forgot to mention how absolutley beautiful that area is.  The tri-state [...]

On the road again

This time, direction…home.  My dog’s waiting for me.  My life’s waiting for me.  I’ll be in the car for a very long time today.  Feel free to keep me company, everyone.
By the way, did I mention it was 65 down here in Tennessee yesterday, and I was running around in a tshirt?  Too hot for [...]

Shaving

I will admit this upfront: I am usually not clean shaven.  As I was saying to someone the other night, I’ve got an excuse ’cause I’m gay.  We, as gay women, are expected to rebel against the male construct of the female norm, to the point where we are readily mistaken for the French.  But [...]

Denied!

Yesterday was the first St. Patrick’s Day since possibly 2000 that I hadn’t been drunk before noon.  This was okay, but I did want to have a beer.  So did a couple of the other dudes after the show last night.  But we are in a tiny town in the western part of Virginia.  No [...]

The only Danny Boy you’ll ever need.

Myth Me Musings (17)

In the introduction to Isms is the following sentence:
No offence to any religion is intended by the authors, who remain strictly neutral with regard to the various truth claims of any tradition.
At face value this is your basic cover-your-ass statement by anyone who is writing about beliefs.  But the phrase that jumped out at me [...]
