  • inbox, part two.

    Happy birthday, Anna Beth. I miss you, old lady. [db] Keep your fingers crossed for tomorrow’s negotiations… and for tomorrow night’s episode of Samantha Who? — which moves to its brand-new time slot at 9pm (8pm Central)! (Following the season finale of Dancing With the Stars!) (My life is so very very very weird.) Want…

  • The Forgotten Writers Strike of ’06.

    Dan wrote a piece for the LA Times about the series of mistakes made last year during the America’s Next Top Model strike that left him out on the street, holding a sign, wondering where the hell everybody went. … I don’t forget, Dan. I never wear my red shirt without thinking of the first…

  • inbox. part one.

    I just realized I’ve had my underwear on backwards all day. I know I’ve lost some weight in the strike, but shouldn’t I have noticed that? Also, I’m starting to worry that my skin is going to become a permanent shade of pink from all the red clothing I’m wearing these days. United Hollywood is…

  • day eleven. this one’s for allison.

    I am so sorry to all of you who have written emails that haven’t seen a response yet. Thank you to all of you who have written words of support or offers to help in any way, and I promise I’ll have time to write back to all of you and post some of them…

    day ten.

    Some mornings, when I’m holding my sign and walking in a circle, I realize this is the second time I’ve lost my job because of the Internet. And if you count the giant day of the dot com bust where my 401K was smashed to pennies, I find that while I only have so much…

(11/10/07) (:28:04) [That weird pause over calling me pamie is because they cut the joke I made referring to earlier in the broadcast. I swear, I didn’t just go all silent…

  • dear perez.

    This is more than I’ve ever thought about you in my entire life, but I figured out why I’m pissed off you stole from my site. See, I’m out of work right now. I’m on strike. You might have heard about it. Your website has ads. Ads that generate revenue every time someone goes to…

    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…

  • chris alonzo saves the night.

    Man, I’m grumpy tonight, even though I think the radio interview went well (and THANK YOU to the Teamster who called in to shout “YOU GO!” and say they were behind us all the way.), and I spent a few hours at the Guild getting ready for next week’s picketing– (AMPTP! PLEASE COME BACK TO…
