  • Weird fact I recently learned:

    One-fifth of the writing staff thought I wear glasses.

    “I like the way my face looks when I have my hair swept up. That sounds so narcissistic! How do people answer these interviews?” The thing is, I just shouldn’t do interviews while waiting for my coffee to kick in. So many run-ons. And I think I accidentally slammed Gwen Stefani, which is not what…

  • Tales From Fresh Meat: the time I almost died in Historic Filipinotown.

    Tales From Fresh Meat: the time I almost died in Historic Filipinotown.

    This is a reprint of an essay I sent to the Derby Dolls and Fresh Meat mailing lists back in early August. Back then, Helen Surly Frown didn’t have her awesome Derby name, so I’m putting it in here to protect the innocent. Allison? Well, she’s just stuck being outed with me. Razorslut posted many…

    Just Another Saturday Night

    Sara Hess would really like me to share this photo. It’s what I looked like seconds after I’d arrived at her apartment, after my multi-hour Guild meeting, before I had my first meal of the day, and not very long before our radio interview. I didn’t know she was taking the picture. But I do…

  • Things I Had to Try Really Hard Not to Say When I Found Myself Standing Next To Jenna Fischer at a Bookstore.

    1. “Oh, my gosh! You’re Pam! And I’m Pam! I mean, I’m really Pam, and you’re playing Pam, but your Pam is awesome and I’m not fictional.” 2. “How’s your back? I mean… I read about how you broke it at the upfronts. I know that’s none of my business. Nevermind. Don’t answer that, I…
