She is smart in her perversity - and has created an ensemble cast comfortable in their strange and funny improv. The result sometimes shocks and almost always amuses.

Sara fell in love with a man. He was a competitor in ceramic shark sculpting competitions. And she had serious plans for him. Gutter cleaning, oil changing, take out the trash plans. But she wasn't ready for him yet. She'd have to wait until her tour of duty was over - which wouldn't be for at least another year.

Thank you to the Mothers,
you who wipe
our faces
with your own spit.
Thank you for the trays of cookies and teaching us how to sit.
Thank you to
Mother Magpie who is a bird,
Mother Hubbard who always has a kind word,
Mother Superior who jumped a gun,
Mother Theresa who gives her all but doesn't have much fun,
Mother Jones who carries an old purse,
Mother Earth who quenched her baby's thirst,

I had my eyebrows threaded today. A first. And how could I say no to a new experience proposed by a large woman with hot wax at her disposal? She said it was only a dollar more than the old, hot method. And at only $8, paying to have an Uzbek woman put thread around her neck and then use it to somehow floss one's face is a real bargain.

"Peculiar travel suggestions are dancing lessons from God." - Kurt Vonnegut
I've been meaning to mention Peru. There were fish everywhere. Raw fish. Caught by fishermen in the morning. Brought in to the fish markets, sold, sliced and doused in the juices of lemons and limes. All to be eaten before noon. Ceviche - most heavenly food of the sea.
This food has effected me deeply.

You have to act like you're in a flaming car crash trapped under shattered glass and metal and a heavy glove compartment that is pinning your legs and the whole car is being crushed by a 300 year old Elm tree with fangs and all you have as an actor at your disposal is a metal folding chair.

In a moment of fleeting yet genuine generosity, I decided to give a little this morning in the subway station. The air was bitter cold. A man with no teeth, probably from meth, sat on the steps of the subway exit at Broadway-Lafayette. He looked sweet, in that no tooth sort of way - a kind of gummy innocence, his lips disppearing into his mouth - making him seem elderly and somehow almost Jennifer Predigerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04358029979297148924noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4859083499359811021.post-53784126429908427712007-01-24T15:15:00.000-08:002008-12-09T09:59:09.028-08:00The Pigeon
This is the pigeon - he is arguably the cutest animal of any species on this good earth. This kitten is so cute, my friends are trying to steal him. Everyone wants a piece of this little guy - and for good reason. Being around him is like a fresh release of sweet, loving endorphins. He is a doughnut factory of the soul. The pigeon lays golden eggs of cholesterol-free happiness.

And if you don’t meet them, at least you get to see them out of the corner of your eye while you’re crossing the street or are in a shop – and you get the chance to pretend they’re not there, just like everyone else you don’t care about.

I was invited to a party last week - the type of party I never should have been invited to. I am of the boxed wine and first-class processed cheese ball party variety. This party was not such a party - it was a rather fancy gathering of New York literati types. You know the type - or at have imagined them - with their impressive eyeglasses - the severe and artful plastic frames that look German Jennifer Predigerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04358029979297148924noreply@blogger.com0
