A Battle Axe Valentine
Dear Battleaxe, Valentines Day is coming up, I’m single, and of course feeling the pressure of all this couple bullshit, romantic dinners, you know—all the Hallmark moments. It just makes me miserable, I don’t know what to do. Dear Miserable, Valentines Day is just another day on the calendar, in 24 hours it is over. […]
It’s Half-Wit Time in America!
It’s Half-Time in America! Let’s bring to the field our half-time show! It’s not the Madonna. It’s the Whore and her Marching Taliband led by that aspermative action majorette Rick “the P is silent†Sanctimoron. He’s from Old Dominion. Because of a dwindling supply of white people, the white wing of the Republican Party wants […]

My Etta James Story
When I was just starting out in comedy in the 80’s I was hitchhiking in San Francisco one night, yup – me and Aileen Wournos – the last lesbian hitchhikers on the planet. Â I very luckily got a ride from Lupe De Leon the manager for Etta James, Kenny Rankin and Tania Maria. I made […]
Transitioning from Straight Male to Lesbian
I have always loved women. Their beauty and grace, their connection and compassion, their communication and loquaciousness are all qualities that I have greatly admired. My mother is a strong feminist who worked hard years ago for the Equal Rights Amendment. Her women friends in the League of Women Voters that I met were singular […]
Sexual Language
I didn’t like living with my father growing up and can’t imagine sharing a home with someone so essentially different from myself as an adult. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with guys, and I feel much more akin to gay male friends than to non-gay male friends. We’re just not compatible. The energy, for […]
Be Here Now (or Later)
Becca her bright eyes lit up by a precocious mind, had finally figured it out! For sure she would get me to see the way—The way out of quicksand-longing. I was going mad wanting to go back to a home so damaged I was still removing the splinters from my body. “Nana, if there were […]
2011 – Expecting the Unexpected
I don’t know about you, but I am a member of the ‘Sandwich Generation’. I have a kid in puberty and octogenarian, depression-era parents. I’ve learned to roll with the punches—and this past year was no exception. The good news is I’m past menopause and no longer living in the “House of Hormonesâ€. 2011 was […]
The Epochalips Interview: Chantal Carrere
Chantal, you are one of the funniest people I know. Last June I visited Boston and looked you up. You and your girl Lisa showed me an awesome time! I’m glad you moved West and can’t wait to hang out with you again. Why did you decide to move to LA and what exciting projects […]
2011 – Looking Back, Forward, & Under The Bed
So much happened throughout 2011. I’m dizzy from it all but then again, I’m still trying to figure out how to record TV shows using my VCR. I taught all school year at UCLA and UC Santa Barbara—two classes per quarter. I usually teach one course a quarter. The thing about teaching college classes–you can’t […]
