A Q&A with the Magnificent Amy K



I've known (and loved) Amy K for the past 5 years. She is sharp, she is silly, and she is so talented that her back still hurts from carrying HHS' string orchestra even though that was two years ago. Here's a Q&A that I did with her last week.

BM: What is your favorite shape? 

AK: I really like triangles.

BM: Why? 

AK: I dunno, they just remind me of...(bursts out laughing)...Connecticut.

BM: Right, your homeland. 

BM: What is your favorite time of day? 

AK:  3am. 

BM: Why?

AK: Because that's when I go to sleep. 

BM: What is the first thing that comes to mind when you see this picture (pulls out hand-drawn picture of a mime)   

AK: Lipstick...just look at the lips aren't they just so red and luscious? They just remind me of James Charles' flashback Mary

BM:If you could be anything in the WORLD what would you be? 

AK: A rock 

BM: What? Why? 

AK: Because...I dunno!!

BM: A monkey is running down the street towards you and for some reason you're handicapable and in a wheelchair. What the hell do you do?

 AK: Blair!Blair!Blair! I am the monkey...

BM: So you're both the monkey and the handicapable woman?

AK: Yes! I'm omnipresent.

BM: A chicken...has somehow found you in the shower and you're singing your favorite song Celine Dion's  My Heart Will Go On. What is your plan of action??

 AK: I serenade the chicken because the chicken is now my husband.

BM: You are now betrothed to the cutlet

AK:Yes, exactly.

My Lifelong Affair with Corinne Bailey Rae

Corinne Bailey Rae has existed in my universe for as long as I can remember. My parents were music snobs back in the day and only allowed me and my sisters to listen to what they listened to in a  (successful) attempt to make sure that we all picked up their taste. Growing up I heard a lot of Prince, a lot of Sade, a lot of Billie Holiday, and a lot of Stevie Wonder. And while all of those artists have a special place in my heart none of them have stuck with me the way that Corinne Bailey Rae has.  Corinne Bailey Rae's self-titled debut album came out in 2006 when I was 2 years old. My family was still a family of four, we hadn't moved to the suburbs yet, and my father still had all of his hair. Things were different. I don't what hearing CBR's music for the first time felt like (re: two years old) but I do know that I heard it all of the time. It played during road trips down to Mississippi, while my mom cooked dinner, while me and my older sister slept. That a...

Why I write

Lately I've been ruminating about why I write, because I do it a lot. Every night I write one good thing about my day and answer a question from a journal that I've been working in for about 5 five years now. Every week I write a journal entry in a series that I started one Saturday morning in September back in 2016 that I call my '! per weeks.' I write screenplays, I write short stories, I write essays. I write I write I write---and I'm proud of it. There is a large portion of my heart that is dedicated to storytelling and all of the joy that it can bring and a large portion of my brain that's dedicated to dreaming about becoming a storyteller. So the cheap answer to the question that I've raised for myself would be that I write because I want to pursue it professionally, but I know that it's a lot more complex than that. During a sunny week in September 2014, I was tasked with a special assignment. It was the first week of fifth grade and my teacher ha...

Live thoughts from the 78th Golden Globes

Like the grand Moira Rose once said, "My favorite season? Oh it's awards!" I could write an entire think piece about why I adore these programs---and I probrably will someday. But for now, I will leave you with some of my reactions from tonight's wonderful ceremony.  1. Daniel Kayuula would like to fank oh so many people #lethimspeak.  2. Currently manifesting an Emily in Paris win.  3. Catharine O'Hara singing along to her play out music...yes. 4. I'd like to have a harsh word with whoever dressed Tina Fey and Amy Poehler.  5. Norman Lear's rainbow heart tie brings me sweet sweet joy.  6. Jason Sudeikis looks LOVELY in his little tie dye sweatshirt.  7. EMMA CORRINNNNNN!!! I'm obsessed with her little clown outfit. 8. The mispronunciation of Soul---couldn't possibly discuss. John Baptiste's pastel suite on the other hand... 9. Sterling K Brown and his shiny blue counterpart...also yes.  10. Ramy Youseff's BEANIE!!!  11. JASON SUDEIKIS winn...
