His eyes were shut, his lids and eyebrows squinting with such force that his entire face was contorted. Continue reading “Stargazer”

Secrets of Eden
“Dr. Brinkley! Come here!”
Dr. Joshua Brinkley stood up and fanned himself with his hat. Six weeks at this dig, and he still hadn’t gotten used to the heat. By this time next month, he mused, I might have sweated enough to get back to my college weight. Continue reading “Secrets of Eden”
Jellyfish, Opera & Men in Tights
Today I saw a jellyfish in a tree.
La Llorona
She stood outside the store in the pouring rain, just beyond the awning. The first thing Pablo noticed about her was not the way her long hair fell in thick, wet ropes down her back, nor her blotchy red face, nor her unusually slender frame, outlined by the black cotton sundress, now soaked, that clung to her body, leaving very little to the imagination.

I see you from across the room. That look in your eyes tells me that you mean to devour me whole…and I have a feeling I won’t mind it one bit. Continue reading “Piquancy”

New Headshots!
I’ll make this quick.
Last week, I went over to the house of my friend, Becky Oehlers (some know her from her design blog, Hemidemisemiquaver), who took a bunch of photos for me, since I needed new headshots.
What I got back was stunning.
I cannot recommend her enough. Not only was the entire process easy and stress-free, but she was very good at making me feel incredibly comfortable. Okay, so it helps that she is a friend. But she’s like that with everyone.
Check out the entire gallery here. And look at the rest of her portfolio here.
Opera, Tabloids & Britney Spears
There is a general misconception in today’s society that opera is only for old, rich, and snobby people. And though some Jackie Evancho fans might consider me in the last category, I must protest! I think opera can and should be accessible to everybody. You just have to discard the stereotypes of an overbearing soprano wearing horns or a tenor singing for hours and open your mind.
