My Interests

My Interests

I am a fifty-eight year old lady. I am a mother of five and I have eight grandchildren. Through my lifetime I have tried my hand at book publishing and screenplay writing, but I find myself enjoying my new hobby now that the kids are grown of making videos to show work that I have done and extend my obsession with photography in video form.

I first started with a youtube channel under Dorisanne13. On top of doing short commercial videos about my screenplays I have…

Poetry, A look through the journals of my past

We are the same 

Soft quiet wind rushing through glimpses

Many faces seen through your eyes

Hazy, drenched

Reflections of you

Who you are today

You turn from me

Why turn? Thoughtless to me of you

We are the same

Sift through pebbles

Stones of…

Ready to travel

45 days and I leave for Prague.  My intention is to get a job there and stay there for at least a year after I get my license.  I keep going round and round with where I want to go first.  But as this is all getting closer, I am realizing and remembering that I want to go to several countries and I can’t go to all of them at the same time.  The more experience I get, the better able I will be to get the specific locations that I want.

I also have to figure out locations to teach where…

I've been into foreign films lately

My newest view of which I am now a big fan?   The War of the Arrows.  It's a Korean action film. 

War of the Arrows Poster

Generally when I think of movies from the far east, I'm not going to lie, I stereotype and expect to see a fair bit of hand to hand combat (h2hc) the likes of karate, kung fu, etc.  depending on where the film is made.



I was happily shocked to find no real h2hc fight scenes.  I say happily…

I saw a movie

Dude.  I watched  A State of Mindthe other day. 

One, this movie demonstrates the most beautiful way to create Communism.  If I had to be part of a communist nation, I hope that it has something this amazing to participate in, hands down. 

Two, I have never been more scared of a whole country before in my life. 

The more I think about it, the more I realize just how scary this threat really is.  We all know that the…

Marble Kiss

This story appeared in a British lit. mag called Visionary Tongue.

Marble Kiss



Weather doesn’t bother us, anymore.

Despite what my heart knows, my soul, despite what my own senses confirm, day, after night, after day, I still have doubts occasionally.

Forgive me, my darling. I know better, of course. Yet there’s that stubborn part of me which clings to ‘reason’ in the face of what would seem a miracle. I suppose you’re right. It does take a little time to…

Still Awake

My single stanza haiku that was in Weird Tales Magazine.

Still Awake

by

Kane S. Latranz

Closet door ajar

Rectangular, sepulchral

Shadows? Evil clowns.

A poem of mine that appeared in Philosophy Now Magazine number 44

Planck's Angels

by

Kane S. Latranz

In the age of the ancient Greeks

the word 'Atom'

meant "undivided."

In the age of atom smashers

that distinction has been handed down

to the Planck Length.

No one has ever walked the Planck Length

or even seen one.

Couldn't it be halved, quartered,

billionthed, trillionthed?

How many dancing particles

form the head

of…

Alibi review, Bitch Magazine

Being estrogen-challenged on the one hand, and about as anti-macho as possible (while still being attracted to women) on the other, I found this "feminist response to pop culture" to be very intelligent and thought-provoking. I was also pleasantly surprised by how balanced it was.

My only real bitch concerns the article by Noy Thrupkaew on slash fiction. One infamous example of this subgenre of fan fiction which is produced and consumed primarily by women centers on Kirk and Spock…

Alibi review, Found Magazine

"Mario, I f**king hate you/You said you were at work then whys your car HERE at HER place?? You're a f**king LIAR/I hate you/I f**king hate you/Amber/PS Page me later."

One snowy Chicago night, Found Magazine mastermind Davy Rothbart discovered the above note on the windshield of his Toyota Camry, minus the asterisks I stuck in there. Presumably, Mario, boyfriend of the tempestuous and less-than-resolutely pissed off Amber ("Page me later"), drives a Toyota Camry as…

My Alibi review of Fierce Magazine

From what I've seen of the current generation of feminist magazines—Bitch, Bust and now Fierce—they have no aversion to the physical beauty of women. In the case of the amazing Angie Lin on the cover of the recent "Spirit" issue, C. Noel's photos are distinctive, sensuous and ethereal. Accompanied by editor-in-chief Asata Reid's poetic and uplifting "The Liberation of My Spirit," which is peppered with inspiring quotes from such diverse sources as Anais Nin and Mother…

Good News

I have managed to re-connect with Jacy, my long-lost friend whom I blogged about last time. Turns out he was living within an hour ofmy own location in Ojai, CA. It was/is great to see him again, and he is still an artist and working on several projects, including turning his old trailer into a stagecoach, of all things. That's Jacey for you! Very creative guy! You can check him out on a Youtube bio JaceyClear
