One day Justin and I were sitting outside at a cafe in Phnom Penh and these kids were swarming our table trying to sell us books. Pretty much everywhere we went we were surrounded by kids selling stuff. It breaks your heart. These particular kids looked like they were about 7 or 8 but informed us that they were 14. … Read More ▶
After spending the morning at the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum, we headed over to The Killing Fields. It was such a strange day – SO SO HEAVY and yet the weather couldn’t have been more beautiful and there I was with my dear friends and this beautiful little girl, skipping from mass grave to mass grave with a bunch of… Read More ▶
Just a little fessin’ up on a Sunday morning. And a big furry hat:
The Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum in Pnohm Penh, known as S-21 for short, was hands down one of the most disturbing places I’ve ever been. It’s an old high school that was turned into a torture/detention center in 1975 by Pol Pot and his Khmer Rouge buddies when they descended on the city, hellbent to do a little ethnic cleansing… Read More ▶
This ends the solo travel portion of my trip and begins the hanging out with my pal Justin part of the trip which is no small hip hip hooray I will tell you that. Here are some of the many reasons why you’re jealous I got to travel with Justin Hibbard and you didn’t: 1.) He can make you laugh… Read More ▶
When I am Queen, I will declare it mandatory that once a day, every day, every single person must go outside and do a naked cartwheel or it’s off with their head. Can you imagine how much better this world would be if that was the law? Picture your grouchy neighbor, putting down his cigar and grumbling out to his… Read More ▶
Have you ever felt like someone out there was trying to tell you something? That the giant bullhorn in the sky is attempting to sound the wake up call, but is having trouble getting through to your dumb deaf ears? If so, how many unavailable people must you date, DUIs must you get, soul compromising jobs must you endure, flights… Read More ▶
I’m not one of those people who’s picky about airlines. I’m usually just so happy to be going somewhere and that flight for humans even exists at all that you could put me in a trashcan with wings and I’d be fine if I had a window seat. Yet even I Of The Untrained Eye couldn’t help but notice how… Read More ▶
The fact that you are sitting here reading this, that out of all the sperm and all the eggs and all the bazillions of little coincidences that led to two people meeting and mating at the exact time that they went on to spawn the exact people who went on to spawn the exact people who went on to spawn… Read More ▶
When I was in India a few years ago I decided I’d blow off seeing the Taj Mahal because it’s kind of a pain in the ass to get to and the city it’s in is pretty ho hum and I’d already seen so many big beautiful buildings that really, how much more incredible could this one honestly be?

“An Epiphany is a Visceral Understanding of Something You Already Know” – My pal, Dana Burgy Gautchi, or at least she’s the one who first said it to me. I don’t know if she made it up but it’s entirely possible that she did because her brain is the size of a Buick. I also know someone who has the… Read More ▶
Who is responsible for Soul Train no longer being on the air? Where did it go? How could we let something like this happen??? Oh the sad sad hole that is left behind in its funky wake. Luckily, its legend lives on via YouTube and I’d like to nominate this Soul Train goodie as Little Badass of the Week because… Read More ▶
I often wonder how weird it must be for a huge rockstar type person to go from standing on a stage in front of 50 thousand adoring fans to hanging out at their mother’s dinner table, surrounded by unimpressed relatives, getting yelled at for putting their cigarette out in their uneaten mashed potatoes. We all go through it to some… Read More ▶
