    Sometimes I Don’t Want To Write a Title.

    On the television yesterday morning was an ad for Cheaper By the Dozen boldly claiming, “The Number One Comedy of the Year!” It was January 9th. Perhaps it could calm down a little. Then, on the kitchen counter, stee had left open a Hollywood Reporter, where fans of Tarzan had taken out a half-page ad,…

    Caren Lissner reads my blog, and might read my book. Which means she read that I didn’t like her cover. I would love to say I continually find myself in the role of “accidental asshole,” but after years of getting email from actors/producers/directors who read our recaps at TWoP, you’d think I’d stop putting my…

  • You Can’t Spell Melissa Without “M” and “E.”

    I’m not the only one who was filled with Gilbert rage at the Johnny Depp Q&A. (It’s fun to find a thread started for a link to my site, though.) edited to add: I would like to say I had no idea I was looking at a Johnny Depp fansite until stee practically shouted, “Oh,…

  • Phone Home

    I got an email from my mom yesterday that I would have thought was spam if I didn’t know my mom was being completely serious. “I’m Changing my number,” read the subject line. You tell me if you wouldn’t have just deleted this. HI Everyone, Just letting you know my number will be changing in…

  • phoning it in

    New Entry: Phone Home. We saw [worst R.E.M. album of all time] last night. If [woman playing exact same part she played when it was Irish and with her ex-husband] wins over [holy crap, I can’t believe she was in [the pasta-origin employment]!], there is no justice in this world.

  • Who’s Your Fry-Daddy?

    There’s a history of deep-fry discussions in my life. That link shows you how Fred discovered that Eric’s deep-fry hamburger theory was true. Chris’s nickname is due to the fact that he once ate a hamburger topped with a wheel of deep-fried cheese. The combination of those two facts once spurned this conversation, where we…

  • deep-fried goodness

    New Entry: Who’s Your Fry-Daddy? I’m feeling better today, even though I’m still coughing and sniffling. I have that pent-up energy that comes from being immobile for three days. I want to clean everything, update all websites, finish writing this pilot, go the craft store, go shopping, pay some bills, make a few phone calls…

  • But was he guilty?

    Just got this email: To: Juror #3, Van Nuys Superior Court, Dept E, Los Angeles, CA, excused on November 13. This is Juror #4 and I would really like to say Hi and continue our conversation. You can reply to this email or call 818-831-1492. DO YOU KNOW JUROR #3? She is WF, 30’s, 5’5″,…

  • The Princess Diaries meets the Pop Culture Princess

    Meg Cabot is reading Why Girls Are Weird. [Thanks, Anna, for letting me know in one of the comments threads.]

  • hack hack

    Damn, I hate the annoyance of a cold more than anything. I’m not sick enough to actually be a baby about it, but sick enough that it’s strenuous to do anything that involves thinking or movement. The most I’ve been able to successfully accomplish is using my right hand to point and click repeatedly. But…
