The Shape of a Woman

Friday, October 3, 2008

I caught of glimpse of myself — el nudo — in a full length mirror the other day and stopped. “Hmmm, not bad.” Not as bad as I thought, anyway.
I hardly ever see myself full length, especially without clothes, and I bet most women don’t.
The mirrors where we get intimate are the ones we use [...]

In a Crowded Room

Friday, January 11, 2008

Time holds only the shape you give it.
This week, it was pressed thin, squashed against the wall, hot and heavy. It was pressing, but lovely all the same.
I am not sure, exactly what I am supposed to do with the time I am given. I only know what when I am busy, the time feels [...]

A Way to Occupy Her Time

Tuesday, October 30, 2007

Photographer Julia Margaret Cameron took up her “hobby” at 49.
The camera was a gift from her family, a way to occupy her time while her husband traveled for work. She set up her own darkroom at their home on the Isle of Wight. She kept a journal.
She presented her own portfolio to the British Museum [...]

Drowning in Yogurt Cups

Re: Recycling Yogurt Cups!!!

Dear Dannon Yogurt,
Recently scientists invented a device called the “laser.” It is very handy for correcting vision, cutting things, attaching to the heads of irritated seabass for military purposes. Scientists are smart and can come up with creative ways of fixing problems all the time.
I was wondering, since 2005, when your science [...]

Or… When Funny and Serious Start Leg Wrestling on the Puce Shag Rug
The sucky thing about being human is that even when you are HILARIOUS you aren’t hilarious all the time.
Like right now, I am a friggin’ laugh riot, but can you tell? No.
Why?
Because I am suffering from the appalling and much-talked-about (but little-researched) disease called [...]

In my mind’s eye, The grapes of wrath are not purple or red or green. They are always charcoal grey.

Michael Dale David Sebastian

Saturday, April 15, 2006

Navigating a new friend is like discovering a new museum.
What is new about it, anyway? It’s been here for years. Yet it is new to me and I am new to it.
Michael told me, casually, offhand, that he cleaned objects at the Victoria and Albert Museum in South Kensington. It was over a pint of [...]

Surviving a blue day

Wednesday, March 22, 2006

One blue day isn’t just that.
It’s the culmination of hours, days, weeks, holding on, fingernails biting into that last saving grain of wood. Fine, fine!. I laugh, I am fine. I am hiding it from you. What is just “blue” is ripping up in me, nearly dead and bleeding on cold cement, in an alleyway.
Mom [...]

Spiral-bound Woman

Monday, January 16, 2006

I write entirely to find out what I’m thinking, what I’m looking at, what I see and what it means. What I want and what I fear.
– Joan Didion
I’m sitting at my oak table, one I use as a desk. I am glancing up, now and then, at the bookcase next to the door. I [...]

Everybody’s got a darkness…

Everybody’s got a darkness
They’re not going to show it to you.
It’s Monday and grey again in London.
I dreamed of you last night. I sat in a cafe over cappuccinos with some friend. He told me the flat I used to live in on Randolph Avenue was going to occupied again soon. By you.
Everybody’s got a [...]
