I used to sit in the back of Math class and draw pictures of my teacher, a fat guy allergic to all synthetic fabrics, so he had to wear green hospital smocks to prevent him from breaking out in a rash...at least that's what we were told. I was going through some of these drawings and I found a sketch I had started for a comic titled "The Adventures of the Purple Peanut", a story about an outcast peanut who was didn't fit in because he looked different (he was actually purple because he was cover… Continue

Wow! I hope you all had a lovely Christmas and are looking forward to the New Year! I can't believe its 2009 already. Feels like a sick joke sometimes... ...and while I'm on the topic of "sick", I just like to share an experience I had a few weeks ago on the Kings Road with my friend Layke. We went to this restaurant and decided to order some edamame beans, only to discover that one of them from the bowl seemed to have Dog Shit on it. Embarrassed and disturbed, I attempted to get them to compe… Continue

13 years ago my father and I took a long cab ride to Surrey to pick up a bundle of Orange fluff and bring her home. We called her Amber. The pet suppliers were a bit dodgy, allowing us to take the cat from its mother far too young and without her shots so she ended up getting very sick after only a few days. I remember leaving a note for my mother on the kitchen table (my mother had conveniently been out of town!) saying "Hi Mom! We got a cat. Her name it Amber and she is very sick." My mother w… Continue

So the idea of this page is that I keep you all up to date with the events that happen in my life and deliver it in a kind of musical response. Good or bad. Lately I had been seeing someone who I became very close to. I called him Jimmy. I flew back especially for a dinner of his last night because he said he wanted me there. When I arrived he kissed me on the lips and told me he adored me. When I walked out he surprised me with a taxi he had ordered and told me to get in it. There was very lit… Continue

I would like to share a very special anniversary of mine with you today. I think we all should have (or have had) a special someone in our lives who has always been there for us in times of need to pick us up when we're feeling not-so-beautiful or even to bring us higher when we feel like the sexiest things on the planet! No, I'm not talking about Jesus (although he is super cool as well). But rather, my trusted love-buddy Jiggy Miggy! Today Jiggy Miggy and I hit a milestone, reaching our two y… Continue

Over the past week I managed to get a horrendous case of the FLU! This would normally be shit, but on this occasion it happens to be particularly shite because I've flown out to SUNNY MIAMI for this year's Art Basel. So its beautiful outside and I'm sneezing in between texts from friends and cute boys inviting me out to some of the best parties in Miami! I wish I were dead, no just kidding ;). So I'd like to share with you the one productive thing that came out of this week in bed and that's my… Continue

Tuesday, Dec 02, 2008 (copied from Myspace Blog) I sat down to write my first song (FOR JIMMY) in an attempt to split with my non-boyfriend. I say non-boyfriend, as we are not officially a couple and realistically have no intention of becoming one. That said, I absolutely adore him and our experiences together have provided a very potent muse. This is, incidentally, where the subject for THERE'S NOT REALLY SOMETHING ABOUT MARY came from. The lyrics of this song are pretty self-explanatory. In f… Continue
