Of course I can’t help but read through my “past posts on this day” sometimes. As I was skimming November and December of 2000, I caught myself getting sort of gripped by my and Andreas’ story … these two crazy kids in their mid-20s, and WHO KNOWS if they’ll make it?! It never seemed especially [...]

I am getting better at doing nothing, people. A few months ago I decided I needed to slow down a little. When I slowed down, I got depressed because, well, if you’re not busy then WHO ARE YOU!? But I pushed through and stayed determined to slow down.
At first I had to schedule my [...]

While Andreas and I were in Canada, Sassafras stayed with my mom and the rest of the residents over at Sacred Groves. To say Sassafras was in heaven would be an understatement. She spent a week running through the forest from person to person, being [...]

Back from Shambhala which was a raging fabulous success. Haven’t had that much fun in years, and as a result I’m now nursing a predictable post-party cold. For now, photos and my favorite music from the weekend.

I walked in the door from the airport yesterday, put down my bags, changed my pants, and immediately walked back out the door to garden in the front yard. See, with our house going on the market this Friday, there’s really no chance to decompress or process BlogHer. I’m going to slap up my pictures [...]

After a reclusive, relaxing couple of months, things are going to be a little bit fucked up for the next four to six weeks. We’re putting our house on the market next Friday, which means a whole bunch of packing and shuffling and staging and yard work and flower planting and hedge trimming. Andreas is [...]

Vapid moment: it’s festival season, and although I’m in mostly-reclusive mode these days, I am planning a blitz of socializing, starting with Blogher, then Meadowfabulous, and culminating with Shambhala in Nelson, BC. Then I have some scary surgery, but never you mind that: there are festivals around the bend! And festivals, dahlingks, mean festival outfits.
Since [...]

So, I’m home from my LA trip and am trying to switch gears now that the book tour/whoring is pretty much done. Six months of the most intense self-promotion I’ve ever done, and can I just say I’m pretty much sick of myself? You’re probably catching some of that here on the blog … I’ve [...]

My book tour is over. And really, I couldn’t have hoped for a better “end of the road” event than Los Angeles. The reading was so much fun, the house perfectly packed, and I even managed to drag Andreas on stage to read his sidebar. Then I dragged Heidi on stage to embarrass her over [...]
