Lena on Love

Yeah, like that. 😉

If I can get excited imagining funny things he did as a kid, there’s a pretty good chance I’m in love with him. It’s a sad day when you stop believing in the idea of having a soul mate or having someone who understands you deeply and loves you eternally. I’m a pretty unorthodox girl, but I guess people might be surprised to learn that despite what some of the characters on the show are doing, I remain an eternal romantic with a desire to hear all the things girls like to hear said to them.

Transcending Matter

(thanks Nezka for the article recommendation. 🙂

Matter, as Henri saw it, ought to bend, and does in fact bend, to the spirit that inhabits it. In critiquing a painting shown to him by one of his students, Henri wrote, “Paint even the rungs of the model’s chair so a poem could be written about them. Remember that your model is not against space, but in it. … Everything on the canvas, hair, coat, background and chair should help express your idea of the man’s character.”

Spend Valentine’s Day with us in Northeast Pennsylvania for a production of Eve Ensler’s “The Vagina Monologues” as we raise money for the Women’s Resource Center and help end domestic and sexual violence.

salvaging a bad photo

Thanks to the photoforge app’s pop cam random filter feature I was able to transform a casual shot ruined by backlight from a looming vintage wicker shaded lamp into a colorful, funky series of abstracts.
(you don’t want to know how many times I hit the random generate arrow to get to these three which I really like. 😉

“You’ve Been Steampunked” in American Theatre

The iconography favored by steampunkers—aeronaut goggles, stylized corsets, clockwork gears, mad-scientist laboratories cluttered with Industrial Revolution sprockets and pipes—has found its way into a number of recent stage productions. When Arena Stage artistic director Molly Smith mounted My Fair Lady at her D.C. theatre this winter, she and costume designer Judith Bowden (who had previously collaborated on the musical at Canada’s Shaw Festival) opted to dress the musical’s Cockney characters in sassy steampunk attire.

WMS: research

Lunchtime research for my new play White Matter Surplus turned up this interesting factoid.

“We believe that many of the cognitive and emotional deficits observed in people with chronic alcoholism, including memory problems and flat affect, are related to disconnections that result from a loss of white matter,” said Mosher Ruiz.

the proof is in the practice

I was the world’s shittiest writer when I was an infant. I was only slightly better at 25. But while I was failing miserably at my career, I wrote in my spare time for eight straight years, an article a week, before I ever made real money off it. It took 13 years for me to get good enough to make the New York Times best-seller list. It took me probably 20,000 hours of practice to sand the edges off my sucking.
