Geek Girls Unite! Update
Hoof it over to Geek Girls Unite! and see who I’ve crowned Geek Girl Of The Week—or else Norman’s gonna stick his middle finger in your face. Oh, wait! He already did. Natch!
“Han Shot First”
Based on the above picture, can you guess what chapter I’m working on? I mean, what other reason would I have to spend the last week soldiering through the entire Daria boxset? I mean, other than the fact that it’s incredible, amazing and a bunch of other adjectives that won’t do the series justice. Howev, if I start to wear a Team Edward ringer tee and/or speak Elvish, someone please call the police… or the nice men in white coats at Bellevue. Oh, and big ups to Rick Marshall for loaning me The Guild.
“Live From New York City… It’s Me!”
Please forgive me for being totally MIA—complete with neon leggings and an inexplicable hatred for red-haired little boys. After weeks of living out of a suitcase and working my buns off, I’m slowly but surely making my way back into the land of the living. I found a wonderful apartment that actually fits all of my crap, which is tres unusual by NYC standards, and I’m hoping to be unpacked sometime before Christmas. (Fingers crossed!) Now that I finally have a permanent address in the City, I’m looking forward to establishing a normal routine, learning the bus system and, most importantly, going back to work on Geek Girls Unite! My batteries are totally recharged and…
It’s All Finally Happening
I saw the craziest thing happen when I was walking down Fairfax this afternoon. I’m not sure what happened before I got to the scene, but it looked like two women were exchanging numbers because of an obvious fender-bender. One woman then drives away and the other, utterly peeved, walks back to her car and pulls her car door open with the strength of 1,000 men. Unfortunately for her, she opened it right into the back of a tow truck. Oof! I’m not sure why I felt like sharing that pointless anecdote but it’s was definitely a signature L.A. moment. Shit like that happens all the time here. I’m just lucky—knock on wood—that it hasn’t…
Geek Like Me
As I mentioned in yesterday’s post, I’ve just started work on my third book. [Does the running-man in place!] I don’t want want to give too much away but I will say that it’s a literary celebration of all the fangirls, fashionistas, bookworms, indie chicks, craft mavens and other female misfits out there. (Can I get a “what what?”) That said, I’d like to try something I’ve never done before in my book-writing pursuits: I want to include YOUR input!! Specifically, I’m looking to put together a guild of girls who are open to having their brains picked throughout this process and providing valuable pearls of wisdom regarding various areas of geek expertise. If you…
…And Everything Is Going To The Beat
Can you tell I’m completely obsessed with Passion Pit right now? It’s a sickness. Every time I’ve felt down in the past month, if I can somehow manage to stumble my way to the stereo to put on Manners, my body/mind/spirit starts to perk up and I erupt into an impromptu dance party that immediately lifts my mood. It’s the weirdest thing. Passion Pit? More like Passion Prozac! Passion Paxil! Passion Wellbutrin! (Okay, so that one doesn’t exactly roll of the tongue, but you get the picture.) Before I inevitably embark on a million tangents, let me get some work-related announcements out of the way. I just posted a new “Music Is My Boyfriend” column…
The Party Doesn’t Start ‘Til I Walk In
People, get ready ’cause there’s a big post a-coming! First up, I’d like to announce the winner of the last Twitter contest I did. Actually, let’s make that winners. I took so gosh-darn long to pick a winner, I thought it was totes appropriate to bestow the honor to two of my fave answers. If ya’ll remember, I asked you all to channel your inner small screen and tell me if you could live your life inside any TV show—sitcom, drama, sci-fi or otherwise—what would it be and why? As per usual, your answers were all eloquent and imaginary. (Duh, as if I would expect anything less from you guys!) That said, I have to…
