When I was in high school and college, I loved this show. When I grew up and learned that Patty Duke was playing two roles while living with undiagnosed bipolar disorder, I loved the show even more. I think I had a secret desire to go back to the “good old days” and actually […]
This is Sinead Lohan. I first heard her at Lilith Fair in 1999. She was on a small stage and I stopped for a few moments. I have absolutely no idea what happened for the next 7-9 minutes. She played “No Mermaid” and “Whatever It Takes.” I just stood there transfixed. Then I bought her […]
Not a very exciting headline, I admit. I'm a little tired this morning, but I've been meaning to blog about this exhibit for a few days so I need to get down to it. Teenie Harris. You may have heard of him — photographer, documentarian of life in the Hill District for nearly 30 years […]
For several years, Celebrate the Night has honored National Coming Out Day with a women's variety show featuring a slew of talented local, amateur performers. Each year, the call goes out across the community to women of talent — singers, jugglers, musicians, poets, dancers, comedians and so forth. The unifying element is that performers are […]
Ok, this is really bugging me so I have to post to get off my chest. As a Northsider, I am a frequent flier at the best little bakeshop over here, Priory Fine Pastries on East Ohio Street. I stop in to pick up bread, muffins for weekends breakfasts and the occasional pie/cake for a […]
Yesterday, it finally arrived. It being a very preliminary announcement of my 20th class reunion in the summer of 2008. I have been out of high school nearly 20 years. Wow. To be honest, my recollection of high school is somewhat hazy. Sometimes I'll think of a person from my past and not remember if […]
This afternoon, I thought it might be interesting to live blog an event that the Mayor actually attends. Something critical and groundbreaking, perhaps even newsworthy. Like, say perhaps, a “garden” party to celebrate his single-handed reclamation of a porn palace for the good citizens of Pittsburgh. <insert applause> So off we toddled to West Park […]
Gay is a bad word. This I discovered after Maria pointed out that her blog was rated R for adult content. So I just had to see where the lesbians ranked. And guess what? This rating was determined based on the presence of the following words: gay (24x) lesbian (12x) queer (2x) bomb (1x) […]
Well, it has been three days since I posted about MySpace and I've collected 14 friends and two comments. Being true to my word, I rejected the one person who I have never met. I'm not sure why she wanted to be my friend, but she handled the rejection very well. I also rejected someone […]
OK, I have caved and set up a myspace profile. I know, I know … it was almost a year ago that I blogged about it being strictly for young people and “creepy” for those of us over 30. I believe I wrote this: And then there is this “friends” thing. Apparently, you connect your […]
