Solicitations

By serene | Published: August 6, 2010

I’m working on an art project. Well, maybe less of an art project; it’s more of a kick-start-my-creativity project. My goal is simple. Each day I want to create something. So far it has been rewarding. I have re-learned to prioritize my off-time. So far, it has worked out like this: That big purple part [...]

A July Like Every Other July

By serene | Published: July 28, 2010

A calm July would make me nervous; birthday months are for tumult and upheaval, right? A much-needed reunion with my much-beloved friend who has known me longer than anyone else became my grounding strip, the thing that plants my feet back on the ground. Our reunion started with a late night Denny’s trip to reconnect [...]

Boner List

By serene | Published: December 13, 2009

It’s cold, sucky, and generally unpleasant. Here are things that are the antithesis of all that nonsense. 1. Y: The Last Man.

You know, that time in a semester where everything is a flurry of chaos and stress eating and lots of writing, intersperced with bouts of hysteric laughing and Sir-Mix-A-Lot dance offs. Well my 100 page group paper is due on Friday, so hopefully things will calm down in a [...]

Living for the weekend

By serene | Published: May 19, 2008

Sitting on a bar patio Friday night, feeling the cooling evening breeze soothing my sunburned skin while being surrounded by friends I haven’t seen in a while, I felt a lifting sensation. I looked around, trying to pinpoint what was going on. And then I realized it was happening internally. As my soul lifted, a [...]

Lessons learned this holiday season; a play

By serene | Published: December 26, 2007

At RISE:  (Work cubicle, South Lake Union neighborhood - 3:43 pm, Wednesday. A sweeping crane shot starting outside in the gray, overcast, commercial neighborhood to a figure seated in chair. The office is quiet and everything appears to be lifeless. The figure is slouched over a keyboard with feet propped up.)   FIGURE 1  If this day doesn’t end soon, I’m [...]

Painful thoughts

By serene | Published: August 30, 2007

This beautiful creature above is currently checked into her labor & delivery room in Albuquerque and I command everyone out there to think the most painful, powerful labor thoughts her way. I can feel my heart preparing for the little one’s arrival by swelling two times its normal size to accommodate the new addition. If [...]
