  • Christmas Stalkings

    I’ve been feeling left out.  It seems that everyone (and by everyone I mean all of my favorite bloggers) have had a Christmas story to share.  I do not.  Well, I take that back.  I do, but I was threatened by my family.  Fingers were wagged, serious voices in menacing tones were used and there…

  • Dunes

    I’ve waited over a month, but I’m so excited I couldn’t wait any longer to announce (and update family and such): In two short weeks we’ll be shooting my second sketch titled Dunes.  I’ve got a knock-out cast and the best crew that a director, offering free food and snacks,  could ask for.  Let’s hear…

  • 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…

  • Dear Debit Card Thief

    Dear Debit Card Thief, I want to apologize for not being able to completely cover your $25 bill at Romano’s Macaroni Grill last week. You see, it was the end of the month and I was left to scrounging through the change drawer and relying on the kindness of friends. I’m sure you of all…

  • Hotspots

    As promised –  my short film that was shown during our recent sketch review: The Moral Compass Rumpus Huge thanks go to the cast, to all of my friends and family who I managed to wrangle at the last minute and to my outstanding crew who made it happen on a very tight schedule.  I…

  • 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…

  • Space Angels

    I like to pretend that I do not live in the world’s longest running I Love Lucy episode.  Pretending allows me to do things like go outside and interact with people. If I worried about the next pratfall or broad joke at my expense, I’d just rock in place and never leave the house giggling…

  • 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.…

  • Those Morose Little Writers

    In my hurry to complete the audition story, I realized I left out one of the funnier side stories. As you recall (and if you don’t recall, then read the previous post first – then you can safely call yourself a recall-er without receiving much grief from me) – now where was I?  Ah, as…
