It seems I ring in every new year with a cold. I think it comes from the downtime after weeks of travel. I’m very snotty right now, which is even more of a bummer since Dan is in town, and he’s been forced to watch very bad movies by my side, as very bad movies…

Tonight we had dinner sitting between Dee Wallace Stone and… Keifer Sutherland. Do you think it’s a good sign, the double Keifer? On the same street? Within 24 hours?

I’m not very good at this year-end wrap-up things, mostly because my months meld together into one giant, “Was that this year? It feels like it was SO long ago,” kind of nostalgia. My archives show that the year went: Anne Heche, Anne Heche, won a Script Contest, Anne Heche, Scott Thompson, Oakland, Oakland, Al…

Not too many conclusions, but more one of those “I Love the 80’s” shows about pamie.com. Now if only Dan and Joel Stein could wax nostalgic about my year. In fact, use the comments section to give your own “I Love the 80’s” pithy statement. Try not to be Hal Sparks. Happy New Year, y’all.

I saw this show last weekend, and was blown away with what seven (really eight) people can do on a stage. It’s called 7 Fingers, and it’s one of the most impressive things I’ve seen this year. People say all the time that they think what I do is scary or brave. Y’all, there’s never…

I let my grandmother (who is a writer) read your book. This is her response…. -Grom [readermail]I have a 75 yr old memory but here’s about what I said, “After slushing through the obscene first chapter, I noticed that the author did know a variety of words and so I proceeded to read. Somewhere along…

Reference to “flying monkeys” aside [edited to add: they have since removed those words, due to the reaction from pamie.com], this site shows you how to send a care package to Any Soldier. If you don’t personally know someone fighting in this war, perhaps in gratitude you could send hand warmers, instant coffee and tampons…

I didn’t get a fancy speaker, as I graduated right around this time of the year because they changed my course schedule on me halfway through my time at UT and… It doesn’t matter. All I know is that I wish Will Ferrell spoke at my graduation.

…in the spirit of A Christmas Story, I guess. I had a dream last night that Johnny Depp was an actor at this strange dinner theatre I attended, and everyone knew it was Johnny Depp, and everybody knew he was actually my special guest like that time Lena Horne performed for Cliff Huxtable’s birthday, and…

I was telling Dan the other day that while watching Mona Lisa Smile at one point I imagined that it was actually a time-travel movie, and current Julia Roberts went back in time to the 1950’s and tried to teach women about feminism. You didn’t have to change one word of the script, and it…
