  • Dunes: The Teaser

    The awesome Director of Photography for my sketch Dunes (which we film next Saturday) emailed me this clip today.  Thank you, Richard! You made my day! Dunes Teaser from Richard Bingham on Vimeo.

  • He Kindly Stopped for Me

    I am descended from a long line of martyrs.  Now, you might be thinking the lion snack, pyre kindle, rock dodger sort, but you’d be mistaken.  See, I’ve long suspected my family actually survived through the centuries by being fabulous finger pointers.  “Oh, you’re looking for a witch?  Have you spoken with Goody Johnson?  No…

  • How April Tried to Kill Me: A “Mostly” True Story

    Most of you know my friend April – funny, gregarious, willing to do most anything, always there to encourage you and help you realize your own dreams – an adventurous gal, always on the move, diving into the next new thing with verve or gusto or some other adjective that makes you feel a bit…

  • A Message from Keith

    In my email this morning – from my friend Keith: Hi Beth, As you know, I got braces last week.  What you may not know is how much they cost:  A lot.  I recently realized, however, that not only will these braces benefit me with straightened teeth, but they will also benefit everyone else by…

  • The Evil King

    Thanks to my Mom, I loved bugs when I was a kid.  I would pick them up, carry them around, and build little homes for them to live in. If a bug was injured, I’d construct a leaf hospital for them to recuperate comfortably within.  Everyone knows a bug just needs a little leaf roof…

  • That’s a Wrap!

    I have amazing friends.  This is a fact.  Granted, they have fairly poor taste and hang out with the likes of me, but you should forgive them – everyone has to have a flaw. I’m just thankful I’m that flaw. The Sunday before last I met with my friends Meredith and Jerin.  They’re movie people.…

  • That’s One

    My friends occasionally like to hear certain stories over and over again.  At least that’s what I tell myself as I see their eyes glazing over.  I know deep down that look expresses profound “enjoyment” and is in no way an indication that their minds are racing as they try to think up a polite…

  • A Bad Day, A Perfect Night

    Yesterday I was having a day.  The kind of day that starts off rocky and isn’t on track to right itself soon.  The kind of day that tries to club you over the head and dump you on the side of the road.  The kind of day where a little rain cloud stalks you. The…

  • The Things I Love

    Finding the perfect gift can be challenging at times.  I’m one of those people who strives not to give next year’s white elephant gift or Goodwill donation.  Like many, I’m not always successful, but I have to admit that  lately I kinda feel like slugging myself in the shoulder while giving myself a sly little…

  • The Day We Met

    Have you ever tried to recall the first time you met a friend?  Maybe I’m alone in this, but sometimes when traffic is moving along slowly and the radio isn’t engaging me I start thinking about various people in my life and I try to remember that first time we met.  Some people just always…
