Lost in American Horror

I have been excited to see the new FX show American Horror for a good month.  It premiered Wednesday, and the wait was certainly well worth it.  Although I cannot imagine this series going for many seasons, it is going to be an amazing experience watching it try.


American Horror has all the aspects of a great horror movie, but it is broken up into episodes.  I found myself asking, "What the hell is going on?", more than once.  I have not been this confused since Lost.  This show is not quite on the Lost par, but it might be in the running.  Who is dead?  Is anything that happens really happening?  All my readers who are Lost fans know these questions well.

Basically, I am saying everyone should check this show out.  Although it could end up being a huge disappointment, I stuck all the way through Lost (and that was the worst series finale I have ever seen), so I am willing to give this series a chance.  Fingers crossed that there will be no dissatisfaction in doing so....

An Essay

WOW, I haven't posted in quite some time. For my last class as a grad student, I'm taking a Creative Non-Fiction Class. Here is a draft of the first essay I've written...enjoy my awkwardness :) Clumsy ( awkward in movement or action; without skill or grace ) Lying on my bed, petting my littlest cat Kia, I smell the patchouli wax I’m burning. Ah, relaxation…I swing my leg around and my foot catches a full diet soda can and knocks it to the ground, all over the carpet and my dirty clothes basket. Not again, I thought, why am I so damn clumsy? Then I proceeded to clean it up, put the clothes in the washer, and go about my day. To say I am clumsy is an absolute understatement, as this kind of situation happens to me on a daily, if not more often, basis.

The Girl in the Chair

The accident happened about a year ago. The girl didn’t know that she wasn’t supposed to eat the peanut butter that was in the bowl on the counter. The family had been experiencing rodent problems and the mother heard that putting peanut butter on the mouse traps was a good way to catch those little bastards. Just to be sure, she decided that she would mix rat poison in with the peanut butter. Little did she know her eldest daughter would walk into the kitchen while she was out in the garage gathering the mousetraps.

The Heaviest Sword

“Belief is a beautiful armor, but makes for the heaviest sword” – John Mayer             What makes us believe in something? Why do we feel that we must believe in anything? Is there anyone out there who truly believes in nothing?  Or better yet, is there anyone in the world who truly believes in something?              Most children believe in Santa Claus.  I never did.  I pretended to for the sake of my parents, but by the time I was six years old, I told them I didn’t believe in him.  Many of my friends believed in Santa well beyond six years old and I didn’t let them know I knew the truth. I did often wonder how my friends never caught on though. Maybe they did and were just pretending, as to not ruin anyone else’s belief in the magic of good ole St. Nick.
