Alan LX

Living in the Bronx means taking a trek most days. Yesterday’s was an extra long one to Greenvale Long Island. What would bring me out to that suburban backwater? Alan’s surprise 60th birthday party. I had tickets to see Vienna Teng and Jean Rohe was doing a co-bill with Rachael Kilgore but they’ll all play […]

Home Game

I went out to see Carolann Solebello and Joe Iadanzalast night so I have something to write about. See the sacrifices I make for My Gentle Readers? When I got there Sharon was surprised, she thought I said I couldn’t make it. I was insulted, there is no way that I’m missing Carolann and Joe […]

Take This With a Grain of Salt

I hate the circadian cycle I’m suck in. it’s 3:46 PM and I’m just now starting to write. I found myself awake at 2:30 last night for no good reason. I woke up at 6:30, went to the bathroom and back to bed. My alarm woke me at 8:30, I got out of bed, but […]

InFLUencing You

A miracle occurred, I remember what I wanted to write about. It took so long that now I have to take a break to eat, but never fear, I know I’m an idiot and wrote down my blogging plan. It turns out that I’m a procrastinating idiot. It is now 11:50 PM and I’m racing […]

The Deal of the Art

I’m back to writing every day, it would be nice if I had something to write about. I have been feeling under the weather and spent my first free day after the WFUV member drive not moving. My plan was to not leave the apartment and not even get dressed. My plan succeeded. My health […]

Keep Dilbert, I’ll Take Elbert

The WFUV member drive is over and I’m back to writing. It was a tough week for me; I was always on the verge of falling sleep, right now I’m on the verge of falling asleep. The only time I wasn’t in danger of falling asleep was when I was in bed trying to go […]

Good Night Nurse

The only reason I have time to write now is that I’m home sick. I’d find the writing easier if I could stay awake. As her mother used to say, “Rosanne Rosannadana it’s always something.” Don’t get too worried about me, it’s only a cold combined with keeping ridiculous hours. We are in the midst […]

Hanneke? It isn’t even Halloween!

I’m sleepy, have a cold, and I’m cold. I feel like crawling back into bed and getting under the covers. Why am I not doing that? I did write yesterday, so I owe you a blog. My Gentle Readers are more important than my creature comforts. I’m a saint, the patron saint of bloggers. Once […]

Jenkins, Hartman, and Ashton: Attorney’s at Law; or not.

Last night I went to a great concert, Courtney Hartman & Taylor Ashton and Steph Jenkins. I’m uncertain how to say that; On the Facebook Event it was Courtney Hartman & Taylor Ashton // Steph Jenkins but on the Rockwood Page it was Stephanie. Let me check her brand-new EP, End to End. And the winner is … “Steph.” Good that’s what I’d call her without thinking.

You Can’t Judge a Human By Its Cover

My therapist has me make a list of my achievements; today’s is registering for NERFA. Now I have to find a roommate. Registering is difficult for me, it’s an anxiety trigger; most monetary transactions are. I rarely get a roommate and registered with much time to spare. Fortunately, NERFA is understanding of my problems and […]
