With the rediscovery of childhood cartoons comes the destruction of childhood and all innocence with it. Reliving the nostalgia through adult eyes will, one-hundred percent of the time, allow you to notice things that your kid-brain did not due to lack of life experience and general fascination with flashing colors. (Doug had a lot of …
The guy who kept a spreadsheet on the girls he met through online dating websites inspires me. To be fair to him, the girl who spread it around the net was a total bitch. There is nothing wrong with trying to stay organized. We do it with meetings, job interviews, friends, places we want to …
Beautifully dilapidated, the smell uniquely rancid, and a ghost-town of its former-self is the simplest way to describe The Salton Sea, its current history steeped in rich environmental drama and political debate on the best way to bring back revenue to the “once-upon-a-time” desert mecca. While the history of the largest lake in California dates back …
Dear Sammy-Jo, What do you think of the eternal struggle between Cake, Pie, and the lesser known, but clearly superior, Cookie? Why do you believe such a rivalry began? Do you think that politics played a roll in this tragic war? An example: A Congressman was having naughty sex with their intern and was caught, …

An encounter with the 1940′s. It was the first time for me too, watching bombers fly overhead in stunt formation, their pin-up women – innocently sheer lace and meticulous curls – almost visible through the scope of my camera lens.

While this writing challenge is supposed to be about the influence of violent movies … Continue reading »

A character will send a package. A character is pessimistic throughout most of the story. Donna curled into a ball, grasping her knobby fingers around her ankles tightly concealed in skinny jeans.

Yes. A million times, yes. I am a 90′s kid, but I have a penchant for Victorian era corsets and 1950′s a-line dresses; anything with a sprinkling of late 19th or mid-20th century to full-blown, subculture revival.

It’s a time of inexplicable ’almost’ hatred. An object or a creature stands in front of you. It mocks you. You have never encountered this thing before – or have – and yet you can’t explain your desire to stab it with a rusty spoon or put it in a blender. It’s like coming home to discover … Continue reading »
I remember everyone that significantly affected my life, from the first and last names of ex-boyfriends I can’t get out of my head to the faces of those who said mean things to me during Sunday school and girl scout camping trips. I don’t harbor any negative emotions towards those people. In fact, I’m quite … Continue reading »
