“For the Turnstiles” cover

March 21, 2006 A Neil Young cover. My friend Jason Hatfield brought this song to me when we were getting the tiniest set of music together to play at the Battle for the Brattle last month. We called ourselves ‘Meat Raffle’ at the time, but have since evolved into a little project called ‘Queering Society’ [...]

New Cover Songs in the Audio Section

Is it only March 20th? I thought it was the 21st. I re-posted ’7 Days’ (the Craig David cover) in the audio section, and have also posted a Neil Young cover I sang with my friend Jason Hatfield.

beautiful drawings

back when I lived in Evanston, I used to take my boyfriend’s sketchbook to the copy shop and make these elaborate little postcards to send to my fans. My family used to make fun of the blurbs I wrote on the postcards, because they seldom made much sense. But I loved those things… I came [...]

the feeling I get in my stomach when i miss miss miss the road

I feel like, in order to respect myself in the morning, I have to drive across the country today. I would really like to be seeing something different, like another sequoia before I die, or something. When I think of driving across the country, I think of Arizona. But I’ve never seen Montana, I’ve barely [...]

culture and cowboys

well… I did reach the end of my patience with myself last night. How long can a girl go around thinking those awful thoughts? maybe I like to play a fool to see where fools go when they die. first, to soothe my worried, gendered mind, I went to the google and searched “women [...]

this will not clear anything up.

It seems that I’ve been less than understandable on the subject of brokeback mountain. sigh. I truly loved the movie, but man, was it tragic, and God, did it mess me up, and still I’m thinking about it, and trying to put into words the distance it’s made me run in my head to understand [...]

they like rose in madrid. yes yes.

See this business: blogspot from spain!

the morning after brokeback mountain

well, I still feel pretty sad, but I at least felt angry today about the whole “civilizing, domesticizing” comment I talked about in last night’s post. I mean, who asked women to be prison wardens to man’s unbridled, natural experience? And I don’t live near any real cowboy types anyway. but all in all, I [...]

use it in good health

I got a new computer, and it has a built in camera. and I’m obsessed with the “colored pencil” feature because there’s no way to turn the flash off, at least, I haven’t rigged it up yet, and until that day, this is how I look best. so very sorry that you’ll be seeing cheesey [...]
