Made-up Conversations
November 22, 2007

I like to have usable conversations for stories on tap, just in case. I just wrote the following one for something I’m currently working on… except, it sounds more like real life.

When I got into my car, I flipped open my phone. I had two missed calls. One from the “unidentified number” [...]

Nip/Tuck was okay this week.
November 21, 2007

So Dawn walks in with a mangled face and says, “I was attacked by a giant wedged-tailed eagle in Calgary. She thought I was poaching her man-eagle.” Really? Come on now. I am, however, looking forward to her mouth being sewn shut for two weeks.
Cut to a bedroom romp. [...]

I <3 Rachel Bilson.
November 21, 2007

I’m not a Chuck fan. After the first two episodes, I became disinterested. However, Rachel Bilson guest-starred on two episodes and I am currently watching them.
I love her. I love, love, love her. In the first minute she is on the show, she has a Summer Roberts freak-out moment and then [...]

Crazy/Hot Scale

Watch this. Enough said.

The Hills are alive with the sound of drama.
November 20, 2007

And so it starts: “Let me do what I want if you don’t care.” Heidi is starting to sound like her twin fiancée! Um, hi guys, a wedding is not something to be ambivalent about. Anyway, let’s talk about this church thing going on with this show. Mayhaps another reason [...]

Song of the Week
November 19, 2007

It was brought to my attention that I haven’t been giving enough… well, attention to music. So, from now on — “song of the week.” The importance of this song, “Music Is My Hot Hot Sex” by CSS is the following commercial:

The new iPod Touch commercial. I finally downloaded the entire song [...]

Lingerie + Wings = Happy Hanukkah
November 18, 2007

The annual Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show is set to air on December 4th this year — the first night of Hanukkah. I couldn’t ask for a better gift, personally.
The Superficial is my personal Hanukkah Harry this year. Click here for A LOT of pictures. And here is a teaser of Adriana Lima [...]

What do you do with a BA in English? (in NY)
November 18, 2007

Take the advice of a friend and start reading a Jodi Picoult book. Become very upset when you find that she has taken a gimmick you wanted to use for a while - the art of having every chapter from the perspective of a different character.
Slowly walk back to the drawing board but make [...]

Meredith Grey Monologuism
November 16, 2007

No one understands the importance of the concentration required to write about these television shows. Last night, I was at a friend’s house and she insisted on starting to watch the show at 9:07. So I spent the entire show (well, until 9:45 when I left) wondering why the hell there was a [...]

What do you do with a BA in English?
November 16, 2007

Spend your morning and afternoon writing copy for the website, watching amazing movies like Stick It!, downloading “music to work by”, and then travel by train into the city.
Learn an important lesson: a hooded ski jacket doubles as an umbrella! Learn another important lesson: don’t make eye-contact with men on the subway. They’ll [...]
