Those of you new to the delights of communicatrix-dot-com may not be familiar with a long-ago weekly tradition, the “Searches, We Get Searchesâ„¢” feature. Of course, those of you newer to the communicatrix-dot-com family of readers might be, erm, more familiar with a…shall we say sexier version of me mining my stats for comedy gold. [...]

If for no other reason than his New Year’s Challenge has gotten me to actually play the guitar again, I would love Leo Babauta forever. But in addition to being a gentle ass-kicker of the highest order and to writing the generous and excellent ZenHabits blog, Leo is also a shining example of that favorite [...]

Time will tell, but last week may just go down in Colleen Wainwright History as the Week that Finally Won. Notice that I did not say “the week I won”, but “the week the week one won*.” As in Week, 1; Colleen, 0. I’ve got so many things going on so many fronts, so many [...]
Among the 100 billion other obligations I have only myself to blame for, I’ve been prepping my presentation on marketing and social media for my alumni group this coming Monday. The core of it is the same as what I did for my Seattle workshops, and for my actor marketing seminar, and for the keynote [...]

In case you hadn’t noticed, stuff is falling apart all around you. In case you hadn’t noticed, it always has been. Someone is always losing a job or hitting a wall or falling out of love. Someone else, somewhere else, is making something new out of what didn’t seem to exist before, an idea or [...]
Today was a very, very hard day for stuff getting done. Between watching the inauguration (before, during and after which I cried at least 15 times) and a brutal teeth cleaning (floss early, floss often, young people) I was pretty much a spent rag of a wreck by 3pm. So while our amazing new President [...]
I’ve tricked The BF into watching yet another corny BBC costume drama with me. (Heh heh heh.) This time, it’s the 2005 version of Charles Dickens’ Bleak House, featuring the endearingly odd Gillian Anderson (who most famously played Scully of American television’s The X Files, and who has one of acting’s craziest head-to-body size ratios [...]
This week was a banner week for crossed signals and nutty communication. A topsy-turvy week, if you will. This morning, for example, The BF and I arose just before the crack of dawn, thanks to a call from his son, who lives several states away and is not really old enough to appreciate the time-zone [...]
