I settled on a second song. Remember Black Mirror? In particular, the second episode titled 15 Million Merits. It featured a singing contest and the character in the show sang Anyone Who Knows What Love Is, by Irma Thomas. It’s old. And unsettling. Black Mirror would continue to feature the song as an easter egg…

I am running out of time! I need to decide on a second song for the show in less than two weeks! First I will sing Journey to the Past. I’d like a spooky song, something like Sally’s Song, for my second number. But Sally’s Song is too short. Then I was working on Come…

Songs I’m working on: For the October 14th drag show – Come Little Children by Erutan but known by its use in the movie Hocus Pocus. Journey to the Past, by Liz Calloway but known by its use in the movie Anastasia, 1997. NOT a Disney movie. Although I heard Disney now owns it. Besides…

So, I haven’t been able to sing since I nailed My Heart Will Go On on the cruise ship. And I did nail it too. My version of pneumonia started about a day after mom’s, when we got off the boat and made it to the hotel. I had puking, fever, coughing, headache. That was…

I haven’t talked to my brother, but I did send him a strongly worded text after he sent me one: “ready to talk?” He didn’t reply. Then tonight mom and I sent him a Walmart order of groceries and water. He had texted her, asking for some food. He’s so absurdly broke and I feel…

May 13, Wednesday, was my last show and despite my limited practice for Part of that World, I did so much better than I was anticipating! I could feel it while it was happening. Marry A’botumn, our show host (I love that drag name) had an important announcement for us too. Instead of just the…
