Linda Sultanoff: Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow

February 9, 2015 by PBQ

I’ll begin in the morning on Monday. I can’t possibly diet today.                I’ll be having lunch out,                Just a salad no doubt, But I can’t start a diet that way. And I can’t start a diet on Friday. Friday’s too close to Saturday night.                And a brief interlude                With some non-diet food, On a weekend, […]

Nicole Steinberg: Talking to Girls About the Good    Ol’ Number-Two Taboo

February 5, 2015 by PBQ

Every day I wage a good Google fight against the other Nicole Steinbergs: the graphic designer, the soccer player, the dental hygienist. I pet the collar of my coat like a bristling cat. Even my clothes want to attack. I’m the only real me and the only real things about me are the hairs I […]

Nicole Steinberg: Squick

February 5, 2015 by PBQ

Ross takes the piss ’cause he’s a mean piece of shit. The others guilt him into mumbled apologies. An audience of 53 million davens approval. Logic is a […]

Laura Spagnoli: Celebrity Dream

February 5, 2015 by PBQ

I’m at a script meeting with writer/producer Jenji Kohan when she asks me to write a scene for Weeds. We have no pen or paper so I sketch some ideas using white‐out on a bunch of empty potato chip bags. The actors are in the room with us and some type of Hollywood Magic compels […]
