New Definition #1

by be. aaron, serene+ clean

My new definition of  luxury: bubble bath.

I used to think it was essential, had to be made of botanicals, minimum cost $30. Now my only requirement is that it contain at least some essential oil of lavender. I found some for $8 and I make it last a month. Also, it’s  now called bath foam because perhaps, bubbles sound too frivolous. I draw the line at products called “body wash”– that’s just a new definition of soap.

I recently saw the film, Frozen River, which I recco. The main character is about to have her TV repossessed and has just lost the money she’s saved for a double-wide trailer but she has a stash of lounging liquids on hand, unused, in case things get really, really bad.

A Definition of Masochism

by be. aaron, over-sharing/over-caring dog-owner

While my dog was at the vet’s being anesthetized and then having her teeth cleaned, I watched Marley and Me.

I have written promos, ads and trailers for a gazillion movies –is there a dog movie out there in which the beloved pet does not die in the end? I ask rhetorically.

According to Anita Phillips, who wrote In Defense of Masochism, all artists are, by definition, masochists.

The next time my dog needs to get knocked out and have any kind of procedure, I vow to undertake something, anything, creative.
