Recovering Californian

Actualizing narrative since 2009, or 1975 depending on how you look at it.

Okay, HI

HI,
I’m in Hawaii. I’m not so much into being in front of the computer right now. What with all the beach and parents to look after Arch. I do have work to do while I’m here, and I’ll be back to posting then.
Right now I’m watching Emperor Strikes Back with my 18 year old brother. [...]

Aloha, Fan Club!

Dear Fan Club,
I want to say thank you. I’ve often said (to excuse any insecurities I might have over getting a fraction of the uniques my regular commenters get) that I am a blogger’s blogger. I am like the caviar of the blogging world, and you, dear readers, are the caviar wanters. The caviar desirers. [...]

I Got a Hair Cut

Yesterday I went to Bishops here in Portland to get my hair cut. For those of you not in Portland, let me break down Bishops for you. There are several Bishops. You can get a hair cut for about $20; you don’t need an appointment. No matter what time of day you’re there, they offer [...]

Hello Internet

Hi Fan Club,
Back Fence PDX was last night and it was off the hook. So good. The tellers were on fire, the audience was in a great mood. It was just marvelous. I’m so proud to co-produce the show. Brew did some video. And I recorded it using Garage Band so we can get some [...]

A Tiny Bit of Over Reaching

Normally I just don’t care about holidays. The rest of my life could pass without a single holiday and I wouldn’t miss them. At all. I just don’t care. But Steve loves holidays so I’ve been trying over the past year to love them too. Trying, Internet. He put up Christmas lights for the first [...]

On the Fifth Day We Rest

Well, do you all feel incredibly superior now? I hope so. It’s been a tough week, Internet, of making others feel small, but we’re here, at the end.
I don’t have much planned today because I’m living through the final hours of a migraine that started at about 4pm yesterday. Aren’t migraines the best? I always [...]

Day Four: I Know! How Much More Will You Have to Endure?

*Special Note: I will be on Strange Love Live talking about sex on Friday at 10pm. Tune in, would you?*
Today’s challenge is to do your American duty and vote!
I’m going to do a poll here at MelissaLiondotcom. I know.
So, here’s the sitch — Steve and I and Arch went to the hippie organic sanctimonious market [...]

Day Three of the MeL-ISSSIC

Whoa I didn’t even do that on purpose.
Here’s what you can do on day three — stay true to your elite white liberalism and support the arts! Nothing says superior like uttering the phrase, “I support theeeeee aaaaahrts.” You must say it like that. So, you can support the arts in a variety of ways. [...]

Day Two

And we’re up.
