I’m a Magpie
Jason and I were talking today, and somehow we got onto the subject of Disney World, which somehow led to road trips, which inevitably led to ‘I Love Lucy.’ “You need a boyfriend so we can go on humorous car trips as a foursome,” I said. “How about a personal ad: ‘Fred seeks Ethel for double dates and hijinks.’” “I think Brian’s the Fred.” “So I’m the Ethel?” “And I’m the Lucy.” “Ok, so you just need to find Desi.” “Oooh! A Cuban band leader!” “And every date could be something from an ‘I Love Lucy’ Episode!” “Yeah — we could squish grapes with our feet!” “And make flour sack dresses!” “And every date would start with an argument.” “It would be awesome if you didn’t tell him at first, just spring it on him a few weeks in.” “Desi, sweetie…. I’ve got something to tell you…” “…. I got us jobs at a chocolate factory.” |
I'm a freelance writer and perpetual graduate student living in San Francisco. Special skills include dog charming, brochure writing, slapdash cooking and long-winded nattering. I also enjoy watching the sunset reflected in the tall buildings downtown.
For a while there, I taught classes on Classical literature, philosophy, and the history of religion at New College of California. I have an MA and an MFA in Writing, and started library school in the fall of 2009.
