Certain people know this about me: I am incredibly talented at one video game. It's the last one I ever understood how to play before "joysticks" turned into graphing calculators with 800 buttons, and people could steal cars with dead hookers in them. When I stand before that machine, I transform from my everyday self into a ninja who can fire and roll the ball in such a way that extra lives rain down on the board -- all while I'm narrating my ongoing strategy to drunk friends who cannot be...

I'm excited to have befriended Splenduh the Unicorn during my time in Portland. First of all, I don't want to be on that bitch's bad side! Second, I'm very much looking forward to chillin' in his badass Salon on Jan. 17th. If you're depressed by an over abundance of "dark cabaret," come let this show's magickal abnormality cure your Seasonal Affective Disorder. Revolva certified guarantee: You will DIG it! (Also, I'd love it if my friends would support this project, as its put on by folks wh...

Congratulations to everyone who was nominated for one or more of hooping.org's "The Hoopies." Unfortunately, that made you ineligible for my own series of awards, "The Revolvies." The 2008 Revolvies are designed to honor those in the hoop community who didn't get a nod for various Hoopie categories, but who tickled my fancy anyway. This contest was judged by a panel of Revolva, and it is totally biased, and it is only meant to spread the honor around with some extra awards that have no cor...

I love to hear the stories behind people's scars. You know -- the death-defying skateboard bungle that caused a permanent dark spot on someone's thigh. Or the downstairs fall that left a slash on a forehead.
Tonight, because I'm moving soon, I was covering up the gouges that have formed in my apartment over the past two years. There are chips and marks here and there, from my futon scraping the wall. A wine stain on the carpet. And the worst offense is that my ceiling features muti-col...

Alright, Eugene. It's that time.
I got an apartment on the NE side of Portland, across from a dance studio (where I can continue my progression toward b-girl-dom), above a coffee shop (where I can write), around the corner from a salsa club (where my high heel collection can *finally* come out of its Eugene-based hibernation), and I'm moving. I'll be back for my writing job one night a week, and I'll living up there for the rest of the time.
Come visit!
P.S. That's a VooDoo Donut...

Oooooohhh Mye Gaaaod! Here she comes Kari J. she whirls she twirls, is that? No! She's DANCING with that hoop! Behold the first, the only Hula Hooping Krump to hit Detroit, and let me tell you she ain't no clown about it! A world traveler, a great party thrower, excellent picture book maker, fire eater...Ok I haven't actually seen her do that...spontaneous, on the go, and all around fabulous friend to everyone she meets. Not only is Kari a daft fashionista who knows where to find great outfits and cute shoes she also has a brain that she uses EVERYday to think of others and write and read and think about all sorts of things and have stimulating conversations.
I heart Kari!
