9/11
September 10, 2011 by Katie Schwartz
After watching the last episode of “Rescue Me,” days passed before I could assign an emotion to the finale. Though, after a while, I realized that, for me, it was perfect, eclipsed by sorrow. In reality, the two feelings live side-by-side, something I chit-chat about sometimes.
On some level, “Rescue Me” was healing after 9/11. What occurred to me was just how much I had on it, something I didn’t know. And, I shared my thoughts with a friend – She got it and expressed similar feelings.
I remember flying home the moment flights to New York were permitted. When I saw the remnants of the Trade Center still aflame, I sobbed and wanted to cover my city with a giant, white feathery duvet.
Goodbyes are never easy for me. I hate letting go. It’s a HUGE problem. For reals. (Working on it.) The lesson, I guess, is another reminder to live in the moment and MAKE time, the greatest gift a person can give, with the people I love.
I will never forget 9/11 or the aftermath. I don’t want to.
This was my favorite scene. Lou was a great character. Though, and really, we loved all of them, didn’t we? Yes, we did.
Thank you for the rescue when I didn’t know I needed or wanted it.
Deliciously dark and so very “Rescue Me”

Def Comedy Jam Performer, Like Ya Know, Um, Yeah
September 4, 2011 by Katie Schwartz
Found this via Justin Harlan on Facebook and had to share. One of Def Comedy Jams’ performers rhymes about an inarticulate generation of “like, ya know,” et al. Most excellent. 2 shakes of a lamb to watch.
