  • With the Lights Out, It’s Less Dangerous.

    My favorite part of the article Dan just quoted is this: “Office workers took the opportunity for an extended lunch as police and fire sirens echoed in the background.” And that’s how LA handles it. “Sweet! Extra lunch, dude!” But writers, we can write on paper, so there was no lunch break for us. In…

    dropping in

    I am at a hair salon, the one I go to on Sunset, and while I’m waiting to take these pieces of foil out of my head, I decided to open my computer. Here, at the salon, I have wireless. It is times like this when I don’t understand why people fear technology.

    [scripty] stee So I’m at the party, sitting around, and in walks three people with these t-shirts with writing on them? You know one said something like, “I’m not your girlfriend.” And another had that stupid bunny holding his ears saying, “I don’t like it when you talk.” And the other was some ironic “Boise…

  • More Ways To Help

  • Them!

    We have been battling ants for the entire summer. This is nothing new. Every summer in Los Angeles, dehydrated ants make their way into our apartments and houses, coffee shops and restaurants, trying to find something to drink. Or at least, that’s what I thought. The ants seem to be uninterested in food (save for…

  • my shortcomings

    I’m in the middle of cooking dinner, and by that I mean I’ve put water in a pot and I’m waiting for it to boil, which means I have a few minutes for an entry. It means I have just enough time to talk about the weird things going on with my own body, because……

  • Lyrics Born: Later That Day…

    Song: “Love Me So Bad” I wanted to find a way to let you hear one of his songs, so that you had no choice but to buy the album right now. Do yourself a favor and do it anyway, before you’re kicking yourself later when everybody else is telling you how talented this guy…

  • Tubey’s Kids Katrina Classroom Care Donation

    Right now, teachers are using DonorsChoose to propose “Classroom Care Packages” for students dislocated by Hurricane Katrina. Television Without Pity has created a special Recapalooza in support of this effort. For every $2000 raised, a TWoP recapper will recap something weird and wonderful of their choosing (uh oh!). TWoP and Glarkware will cover any credit…
