Mini Movie Monday

I am going to try and post on a regular basis. It's not for lack of material--I have kept a journal every day since August, 2003. I also have random posts from when I was fresh out of college (the first time) as well as the depressing observations from high school. I could post a picture a day from all the prints I have and probably not run out of material for at least two years. Why don't I post every day?

I don't know.

I know some bloggers do it. My friend Heidi posts every day, and I'm not sure she would identify herself as a writer. I sort of do identify as a writer. So what's my damn problem? I'm not sure. Sometimes I worry about falling into a rut. So I'm going to try and post a better variety of stuff, maybe make some "theme" days, so people might know what to expect. But isn't the fun of following a blog NOT knowing what to expect?

Anyway, I make videos. I've got 47 up there, which means I need to make five more in order to post a different original video each week for a year. This first one is one of my favorite songs from the 80s as an extended remix. I think this was one of the first records I played on my USB turntable. Sadly, I can't record the music onto the computer anymore. The turntable still plays, but something is up with the software. Anyway, enjoy!

Drugs and Drink And God: An Interview with Sarah Katherine Lewis

Image
Back in the glorious 1990s, Sarah-Katherine published a 'zine called Pasty. It was one of the best ones of the perzine genre. She talked about coffee and food and a sex party and checking out the jail and getting drunk for science. We got to know each other via mail. Yours truly published a 'zine called Angry Young Woman. We traded 'zines, and I also got 'zines from other talented writers. Well, Sarah-Katherine got a legit publishing deal and went on to publish Indecent: How I Fake it and Make it as a Girl For Hire   and Sex and B acon: Why I Love Things That are Very, Very Bad For Me   . A review on Sex and Bacon will be coming from me . Indecent sounds awesome too, and as a repressed Catholic girl, I'm sure I'll enjoy it. Sarah-K's latest publishing venture is about being in rehab. If you loved her 'zine, you'll love Rehab A Go-Go . I know I did. Sarah-Katherine is a hell of a writer. Entertaining, funny, philosophical. She's talented and ...

Some Thoughts on American Dirt, Cultural Identity, Cultural Appropriation and other Assorted Nonsense in My Life

I guess there's a book out called American Dirt which is getting criticized because it was written by a white woman about a Mexican woman fleeing Mexico because she's getting chased by someone involved in drugs or something. I haven't read the book; I'm just going on what I've seen online so far. Apparently, Sandra Cisneros endorsed the book, which really pissed off Alisa Valdes Rodriguez. Read the brilliant blog post, “Auntie Sandra's Cabin: Why No One Should be Surprised Sandra Cisneros Endorsed American Dirt .” It's a fascinating read, and parts of it made me think, “right on.” It's also sort of summed up why the so-called “voices of their people” quasi-academics/writers have never really appealed to me. I can't identify with them. I grew up in the Midwest the daughter of a government worker and a restaurant employee. I grew up wanting take figure skating, gymnastics and ballet lessons, which I never did as a kid. I was able to finagle horse...
