- Assistant Guru (not to be confused with Assistant to the Guru)
- Bio
- Proud native Hoosier who’s settled permanently in New Orleans. Teach English. Live in an old whorehouse with three very talkative and sexually-confused birds and one very talkative bird that isn’t sexually confused at all but just wants what s/he wants, which is pretty much everything and everybody. They appear quite frequently in my writing. Former bedpan wrangler, radio announcer, preschool teacher, and freshman comp. instructor. Once accidentally picked out A Clockwork Orange for a make-out movie. Have a very rational appreciation for the works of Flannery O’Connor and the television show The X-Files and an irrational fear of Meg Ryan. All my friends are drunks.

In the past few weeks, I’ve been trying to avoid the Penn State scandal as much as possible. I’m not a football fan, and to tell the truth, didn’t even know who Joe Paterno was until he ended his career in disgrace. I think everyone involved deserves their day in court… Read full post »
In the spring of 1987, when I was six-almost-seven and my brother Eric was four-almost-five, our parents bought a split-level house just outside of Greensburg, Indiana. Said house was originally built in 1961, was both the architect's and the head contractor's first attempt at buildin… Read full post »
Today, Jess D. Facts wrote a moving piece about her beautiful daughter being bullied because of her curly hair. And while I'm glad that her little girl is thrilled with her new hairdo, wouldn't begrudge her the right to chemically straighten it, and as long as there isn't any abuse going… Read full post »
For some reason the other day, the Loggins and Messina song "Your Mama Don't Dance" gets in my brain and makes itself all comfortable. I decided to exorcise the demon in the only way I know how...by posting a YouTube link to the song on my Facebook account, along with the… Read full post »
Yesterday, I learned of Mad Men Yourself!
Unlike Verbal Remedy's virtual clothes-tryer-onner, this one actually came up with an avatar that pretty much looks like I do in real life. (BTW, I have this dress in my closet.)
I have a number of friends on Facebook who are mothers, and judging by their posts there, I have to say this:
Y’all worry too much, and about the wrong things.
NOBODY has a perfect childhood, and most people don’t turn out either axe murderers or Nobel Prize winners. So quit th/… Read full post »
I must say, I don't speak Hindi (or whatever language this is in, I'm aware India has 22 officially recognized languages and several hundred more that are spoken throughout the country), but the chorus of this will follow me to the grave.
I am running a home for sexually-confused and frustrated tropical birds.
I did not set out to do this. I set out to buy a parakeet. Technically, my landlord does not allow pets of any kind. Technically, my landlord is also supposed to keep the building up to code. (I live… Read full post »
Been looking at my budget books for 2007, trying to find places to save. Apologize that this isn't better written.
1. Laundry. I have no laundry facilities where I rent. I have laundry down to a science. I have to load/bungee cord my laundry into a little wheelie cart every week… Read full post »
Last night Mom called me and was telling me about a book she was reading about the history of various classic American toys, and we got to talking about what on earth kids these days will remember of their childhoods. (The boyfriend remembered playing Nintendo for hours on end, which explains… Read full post »
