  • Hurry, Hurry, Hurry, Hurry–

    Hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry up Tuesday. But wait! AB leaves on Monday. Slow down, slow down, slow down, slow down, slow down now. I think AB threw away my kitchen sponge. I didn’t have it for any other reason than the scouring power on one side. She thinks she’s helping, I know, but all…

  • week six. more honking, less cheering.

    So apparently I walked right past Jane Espenson today, because I was staring at the guy she was walking with, thinking, “There’s Doyle from Gilmore Girls! And on my other side I’m walking past Peter Krause for the fiftieth time!” Sorry, Jane. I really wanted to meet you. That’s a much better story than what…

  • strike life: laura and liz

    I just looked up “fatigue” on the Internet. That can’t be a good sign. I’m so exhausted, you guys. I can’t even explain it. One day during the Top Model strike, I went to visit Dan and sat with him for a second. He kept staring straight at his water bottle, the sunburn on his…

  • thank you, john.

    I wouldn’t be sitting here right now were it not for the advice of John Scalzi, many many years ago at a Journalcon in Pittsburgh, where he calmly explained that it might not be the craziest thing in the world for me to attempt to be a full-time writer. Like, as a career. He forgot…

  • gentlemen, pay attention.

    I found Jenny this morning quite giggly and wiggly, bright and early for the morning picket. She was munching an apple. “Hey!” she said. “Why are you so happy?” “Oh!” she smiled, gloating. “That guy just asked me if I was in SAG!”

  • 2007 Strikers Guide to LA Studios

    This is the funniest thing to come out of the strike. When searching for your ultimate picketing destination, don’t leave your home before checking Jonathan Schmock’s Essential Strike Guide.

  • Two You Tube Finds and Ray

    First: everything you need to know about the strike, with Neal Pollack and his five-year old son Elijah. Then, another from the series Strike Life. This one features friends Laura House, Jason Allen and Liz Feldman. And for those of you wondering how to one day find yourself semi-naked with Jake Gyllenhaal and Natalie Portman,…

  • Sian Heder: Mother

    It’s technically on my iTunes because I’m old school with the iPod, but I just watched my sweet friend Sian’s award-winning short film MOTHER, which you can download off iTunes. Support independent filmmakers!

  • Picket Lung

    I know it’s important during week four to keep up the fight, the resolve, the rah-rah-rah, but here on week four, day four, I have woken up with a serious case of Picket Lung. That’s the Radiohead song Laura House and I wrote yesterday while we walked, because we picket in a very active construction…
