  • 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…

  • Hot Spots: Behind the Scenes

    Next week, after the run of our show has come to an end,  I plan to upload my short film onto something like YouTube, Vimeo, or Funny or Die. I haven’t decided which, but people with bigger thoughts than mine are being asked for their opinions and suggestions.  All those sites play videos, right? BUT…

    Looking for another excuse to DVR True Blood the next few Sunday nights?  Feel like it’s your mission to “Keep Austin Weird”?

  • 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.…

  • Backpackology with Steve McDonald

    I rarely talk about the blogs I read.  It’s not a remark on the blogs themselves, it’s more of a selfish thing.  I discover them (or they discover me) and then I start hoarding them – like that lady you once saw on that reality show – you know – that lady – the one…

  • Screaming Under Water

    I babysit projects for a living.  I watch them closely as they grow up. I pat them lovingly, diagnose their ailments and I wave goodbye tearfully when they’ve grown-up into the product they were meant to be.  I do this every day and come the end of every August, I wish them well and get…

  • My Name is Beth

    Every now and again a blogger will get the idea that it’s time to tell the world a little bit about themselves.  Sometimes they’re prompted by an award that demands they answer a specific number or set of personal questions.  Other times it’s a meme that’s inspired their latest outpouring.  For me, today, it’s a…

  • You “Like” Me, You Really Do

    On Thursday, WordPress informed me that I’d finally reached the “100 Likes” milestone on the Big Blue Mess.  I know, I know, for some of you that’s called “a post” or “a Monday”, but for me that’s called 486 posts, six years later.  (Granted, the bulk of those were on Blogger and you didn’t get a…

  • Auditions: Feeling Punchy

    You didn’t really think I’d let you off so easily with that previous post, did you? No, because let’s face it, I am pretty darned excited that our sketch class is putting on a show and it would be wrong of me not to share that.  (No really, it would actually be wrong.  I don’t…
