Thank you to my love Denny for unabashedly getting into shenanigans with me — no matter where, no matter when.

If My Google Calendar Could Speak She would say a

If My Google Calendar Could Speak
She would say a 40 hour-work-week makes me valuable.
That if I want to indulge, I’m slacking off.
If I want to create, I better put it down on paper —
Otherwise, nothing will get written.
“You will watch, you will play, you will read, but you will not succeed.
Success is 40 hours.
Success is six-figures.
Success is obeying my demands.”
So I add more “good” things:
- Time with friends
- Hikes in nature
- Shitty trash novels and too much New Yorker
- “Office Hours” for creatives
And yet she still screams at me:
DING
DING
DING
Not emails, not texts (those have their own sounds)
But calendar reminders.
- Pill your cat
- Water the plants
- Pay your taxes
- Clean the windows
- Bill your clients
Network, network, network
If I didn’t have a calendar, I wouldn’t have a job,
But without a job, I might have the
Mental space
To click delete.
Backspace, backspace, backspace
Until the cells are blank
And time stands still
As the weeks scroll forward
Like prison bars on the limited hours we have on this
One Precious Planet

Eye spy a corneal abrasion 🌀😵‍💫🌀 Last week I sliced my eyeball on the corner of a bag I was hoisting onto the top shelf of my closet. It hurt like hell, and with every subsequent blink, it felt like a rake being dragged across the surface of my eye.
Luckily, the eye is amazingly resilient. Abrasions, even a severe one like this was, usually heal in a few days. I don’t have my full vision restored yet, but I’m sharing this truly trippy black light image as a parable for all you spring cleaners out there.
The moral of the story: wear goggles. Or just don’t clean your closet.

Maybe even then
Exposure could be a difficult thing
It's quick like rush for peace is
Because it's so much
It was like being naked
If you become naked

I loved recording this demo of @alcefaly and @matthewnielson's beautiful ballad, "He May Not Dance with Me" from their musical "The Last Wide Open." 🎹🎶🎤
Because recording to a click track would have ruined the emotion of the song, I laid down both the piano and vocals at the same time. (That's why you can hear the clicking of my plastic digital piano keys and the squeaking of my sustain pedal in the background.)
My recording setup is more sophisticated these days (this was recorded in 2018), but I almost prefer the live performance quality of this track to a clean one.
And for a single-take of a four-minute song, it's one my favorite recordings of all time.
That's because it's such a ✨gorgeous song✨ -- musically and lyrically luscious.
Thank you to Audrey and Matt for letting me inhabit this character before she fully came to life and for allowing me to create this piano arrangement. What a treat to collaborate with friends from my DC theatre days.

1 ecofashionista. 2,000 gallons of water saved by

1 ecofashionista.
2,000 gallons of water saved by wearing the same skinny jeans for four years.
#OnlyOneEarth #WorldEnvironmentDay
There are so many choices we as individuals can make to reduce our resource consumption, and what you wear tops the list. According to the @unitednations:
👖 The fashion industry uses 93 billion cubic metres of water every year -- enough for 5 million people to survive.
👖 Fashion produces 20% of global wastewater.
👖 Clothing and footwear production create 8% of global greenhouse gas emissions.
👖 The equivalent of one garbage truck of textiles is landfilled or burned EVERY SECOND.
And these numbers don't even reflect the gross human rights abuses also associated with fashion.
You don't have to be a dirty hippie to care about the planet. You can look great and treat Mother Earth like a queen. Ditch fast fashion, invest in well-made pieces you can wear for years, and buy used whenever you can.
This outfit from #GiasConsciousCloset is a mix of new (but years old) and thrifted goodies. Shirt, hat, and purse from @its_a_wrap_clothing and outer blouse from @swapsociety.
Wanna know how YOU can transform your wardrobe? Drop me a line! I've got tons of tips honed by decades of secondhand shopping.

Quantum fluctuations and Shakespeare. What more could a gal ask for in a poem? ⚛️✍️⚛️ From “Longing for the Harmonies: Themes and Variations from Modern Physics” by Frank Wilczek and Betsy Devine—a gift from my sister-in-science @tarynoneill.

Thrilled to announce that THE WRITER IS DEAD won B

Thrilled to announce that THE WRITER IS DEAD won Best Feature Film at the @cine.paris International Film Festival! 🎥🍾🎬
Directed by my dear friend, the uber talented #ShahabHosseini, we shot this two-hander, single scene, 90-minute film over four or five nights back in 2019. Quite the whirlwind!
I couldn’t have done it without my co-star jameslouiswagner who saved the day after a last minute casting snafu.
Much love to everyone at @sevenskiesentertainment. I can’t wait to see where this film goes next!
PS—Forgive the plastic waterbottles in this trailer. I have vowed that I will ask for single-use plastic props to be exchanged for reusables the next time I’m handed them on set. #stopplasticpollution
