May the 4th…

By Carrie • May 4th, 2010 • Category: News

Yeah, but see, here’s the thing………….I mean, besides a resounding, “May the 4th be with you, to all you people with a lisp out there………..the thing is……….one of several……….is….even though my performance——my incredibly layered performance——–of “Carrie Fisher” in the show, “Wishful Drinking” was overlooked by the Tony Commission of the United States of Live Action…



To be continued…

Actually, this one time a friend of mine, Mike G, took me to a Grateful Dead concert in Manhattan. This is, like, three or four million years ago. Anyway…….we go to this concert, (on mushrooms, of course. Normally we took acid, hallucinogenic wise, but for whatever reason this nite we opted for the mushroom route)…….ANYWAY,…



unnecessary dental work just for the morphine?

By Carrie • Mar 16th, 2010 • Category: News

I had dental surgery this week. My daughter was thrilled (in a mellow, knowing way), because`I was not given pain medicine—–despite the severity of the procedure. The theory behind this perhaps unique form of post operative pain control was that one is only allotted a certain amount of opiates in a lifetime and I had…



Obama, fresh bread & cookies

Well, it turns out that I’m kind of a moron. I forgot that if you say something on twitter there’s every chance that that dumb twit will go—–if not around the world, then in too many places for comfort.

I tweeted about my father’s health the other day. I mentioned that he was having episodes that…



ECT state of mind

By Carrie • Feb 17th, 2010 • Category: News

I had ECT yesterday, & the main thing that I remember about it is (other than hardly anything at all) that when they dragged me on my little gurney to its resting place beside Dr. Kramer and his machine that will electrocute me to adorable wellness……….

ECT

Dr. Kramer gazed down at me and said, “Let’s see…



Charles Darwin, Fetuccini and a way out of words………..

By Carrie • Feb 14th, 2010 • Category: News

Have been on a cooking bender of late. In my belated, and perhaps misguided attempt to resemble a “mother”………a traditional mother, that is. One quite unlike my own mumbly peg mom…….Not that there’s anything WRONG with my mother’s rendition of parenting. Far from it. She was both mother and father to my brother and I.…



half naked eyes, hot rolls & sunshine circa 2010

By Carrie • Feb 12th, 2010 • Category: News

Sorry about silence! Have become something of a shut in since I returned and MUST get a new laptop! An assortment of letters are sticking—–many of them useful!

I was hoping to go on a vacation after the past 2 and a half years of performing around this great land of ours…….but alas and alec (baldwin),…



I want to explode in the night sky of your approval

By Carrie • Nov 19th, 2009 • Category: News

You know those people you can’t imagine ever saying, “you know—–you may be right!” or, “Huh, I never thought of it that way…..that’s a good point!” Certainty freaks…..Their version of things is THE version. Nothing in them is teachable….

I could go thru a bunch of stories, wagging my tail, eager to please, all in a…



body by youth, aging encouraged wisdom…

By Carrie • Oct 1st, 2009 • Category: News

Look you guys——

all of u that r shocked & seemingly upset about my weight—–

I might be more upset than you are, (can’t tell sometimes—–obviously more of u r SHOCKED about my weight—–can’t say I’m USED to it, but hardly SHOCKED by now…..)

Contrary to appearances, I’m busting my bovine ass to lose weight to avoid some…



behind my back

By Carrie • Sep 21st, 2009 • Category: News

People come to the show expecting to see Carrie Fisher…..if only we could agree about who she actually is…..then we’d all know who it was that turned up on stage admitting & declaring things left & right! Things that become less true as soon as she says them…..Especially when she makes fun of these things—–which…
