Site Update
The “About Me” section is now online. I am working on the FAQ page update – thank you to the commenter who sent me a copy from the wayback machine!
The More Things Change, The More They StayThe Same
Well, this is unexpected. I’ve been working on my blog redesign/relaunch for a month and a half. Not coincidentally, since I gained access to daycare. But today when I logged in, I noticed my stats had exploded. So, hello, new … Continue reading
StillBirthday
As a mother who lost a child, I want to take a moment to recommend a resource. Stillbirthday is a comprehensive, supportive network, where you can be put in touch with a “mentor” who has lost a child herself (among … Continue reading

Three Creepy Effing Dolls
For as long as I can remember I have been creeped out by the entire concept of dolls coming to life. I refused to watch Child’s Play, disliked ventriloquism and even viewed Jim Henson’s The Christmas Toy with suspicion. Muppets … Continue reading
Blargh
I seriously do not need to be coming down with the Miserable Death Cold that Chip has had all week. I thought I might be coming down with it but it turned out that I was just desperately tired from … Continue reading

The Working Poor
Chelsea and Jared are very good friends of mine. We met when we were all homeless in Hollywood. We lived in the same cheap, awful motels. We ate the same scarce food. And we all got out, moved into real … Continue reading
Munchausen By Internet: The Case of Mike Feigen
