New ambition: Have puppets one day act out my book

Thursday, December 18th, 2008

I learned from my server-overloading experience a few weeks ago, and am not calling this post what the video is called.
Here it is:

Not always good to be popular

Sunday, December 7th, 2008

Just a little lesson for any of you who might feel like posting an awesome video, and then giving your post a very obvious title like “Dog saves dog.”
You may notice the post with that name is gone. It’s because Friday morning I got an e-mail from my fabulous webmaster BJ basically telling me [...]

Tease!

Thank you, Barry, for sending me this. On the one hand, yay to get to see it. On the other hand, it makes it so hard to wait!

Important gift information for Losties

Thursday, November 20th, 2008

Jules over at Seven Impossible Things Before Breakfast had to tempt me with these yesterday:
Jack.
Sawyer.
And even though I’ve always been in love with Jack alone, I have to admit Sawyer’s action figure is hotter.

Oh, my gosh–did any of you know about this? Hilarious! Wonderful! Joss Whedon, Neil Patrick Harris, Nathan Fillion–and a musical on top of all that! What a great Friday treat!
Totally stole (borrowed) this link from Meg Cabot. Thank you, Meg!

This had me laughing out loud. Don’t you wonder how people find all those clips, and how much time it must take to put them together? All for our amusement. Thank you.
And thank you, Barry, for the link!

Jack, what??

Thursday, March 6th, 2008

You know what he did. Come ON. No, no, no.
And does anyone else hate that commercial they show every time where the little girl wearing rain boots steps in the middle of her birthday cake and all the adults laugh and clap? What kind of a world is that? It’s all [...]

Well, that hurt my brain

Thursday, February 28th, 2008

Finally some quantum physics and time travel and some teary “I love you”s and everything we could want from a show that all the way through makes us go, “Huh?? I’m so confused!” I’m surprised we all didn’t have blood streaming from our noses, poor little overloaded brains.
Love it. Great episode tonight. [...]

Whoa

“Hello, [fill in the blank after you've watched tonight's Lost].”
I did NOT see that coming.
I love, love, LOVE that show. It makes me want to be a better writer every time I watch it. They set the bar so damn high.
