And she lived happily ever after…

I went away this weekend. (And I did not go to Philly). This was one of the best weekends I’ve had in a while… and Internets, I’m keeping it to myself. Hate me. Freak moment, October 2006: You know that handheld 20 Questions game? It’s a really freaky yes/no-answer electronic handheld at the Discovery Store (and other locations where popular games are sold, I’m sure). I was...

My brother’s in Phoenix and other random stuff…

I didn’t intend to write (again) today, but for some reason I heard a dance remix of Bloc Party’s “Banquet” and said “Screw it, Let’s go!” Yeah, so my brother “ran away.” In typical Mel-fashion, he got in his car, drove out west, called my sister from New Mexico, and did the whole “Hey, I’m almost to Phoenix…” speech.

A year later… he came to Cleveland to be with me to begin something in person. And it really sucks hurts today that he had to go back home. I have been alone a lot. I...

I think I need more publicity!

A friend let me know at the Cleveland Scene “Best of…” Party at Velvet Dog Friday night that a radio interview included mention of Cleveland’s Best Barfly (moi!) and some reference to my hotness. Sweet. The party was pretty cool — I loved the band (I wish I knew the name of the band **UPDATE: The band was Blue Lunch).** and wished I had a dance partner. **UPDATE: oh,...
