Having watched both MILK (the Oscar-winning movie starring Sean Penn) and THE TIMES OF HARVEY MILK (the Oscar-winning documentary) today back-to-back, I’m more than a little verklempt.

I fell in a weird kind of love with it while Adrian and I were working on a project in Vancouver and he bought it for me for Christmas that year.

Particularly since it sometimes feels like everyone successful was assigned a publicist at birth, crafting perfect sound bites about ...
The blog I was going to write today –- well, actually I did write it; I just decided not to publish it –– was, quite frankly, entirely reactionary.
It’s not worth going into the details but basically while watching Saturday Night Live, I stumbled on something bizarre about myself on the interwebs, somethin...
