Babies in the Movies

Thumbnail image for Babies in the Movies

I’m not sure how to tell you this, but movies are kind of a big deal. As I wiled away life during pregnancy, I couldn’t help but think of every baby reference across my history of couchtime. They’d just come to me. I’d be shuffling my belly from the bedroom to the bathroom and remember [...]

The Hollywood Hoax

I’ve wanted to write about this so many times. To tell the truth. But I never wanted to sound ungrateful.. I’m not. I’ve movie-quoted my life away, rewound scenes with regularity and memorized dialogue for hours, so that being in a movie seemed too good to be true. And now, after being devoured by a [...]

MegaSnake and Me

  So on August 25th, 2007, at 9/8 Central, the SciFiChannel will debut their original movie, called Megasnake where my two adolescent children (not really my children) and I are eaten (not really eaten) by a 25 foot snake (not really a snake).

The Old Man is Snoring

Today (okay not today, because I wrote this blog three months ago, so pretend it’s still winter) as Michael parted our red and yellow trying-to-be-regal curtains, which keep out the light about as well as a pair of trendy sunglasses, I breath a sigh of relief. Another cloudy, dreary day. While the sun hangs like [...]

The Last Monster

At the Serbia-Bulgaria border, my belly hit the cold silver chrome of the bunk’s protective bar as the train donkey-sounded to a stop. I was sweating under a BDZ transportation blanket that somehow smelled of nothing. My mouth tasted of mealy apple. Where were my socks? Train sleep is like road-tripping cross-country with a teenage [...]
