  • Why it’s hard to work at home.

    Why it’s hard to work at home.

    Sometimes you’re just trying to send some email, and this happens.

  • ack!

    In my defense, my lack of updates is not due to wanting to ignore you, but rather that life has made it difficult to update lately. Case in point: Moveable Type. Hates my work computer, for some reason. Hates the new Mac operating system, I think, because it doesn’t matter if it’s Firefox or Safari,…

  • Yay, Germany!

    Yay, Germany!

    If I were lucky enough to be in Germany right now, I could pick up a copy of the German translation of “Why Moms are Weird.” (I’m guessing this translation based on Babelfish and plot description. Any German speakers care to correct me?) It’s my favorite thing in Germany next to Bernd das Brot. Translation:…

    random workday distractions

    It’s feeling very Monday in here. How about watching a little comedy from Liz Feldman? Or skip work and go see American Teen. (The Lifetime movie about my busted tailbone is called: I Only Cry When I Sneeze: The Dumbass Moves of Camle Riboy.)

  • Why I haven’t been updating my blog often enough: good excuses.

  • one. oh.

    Ten years ago right now I wondered what would happen if I started writing a web diary. Ten years. I haven’t had any address in my entire life as long as I’ve had pamie.com. Very few things last an entire decade. I thought I should do something special to commemorate it, as it’s not often…

  • cookie puss

    We had our first table read for season two yesterday. That’s a very exciting thing, being on a show that comes back for another year. But this second year is still the first year, and I kind of forgot how we went straight from season one to the strike to season one point five, to…

  • punch-up.

    punch-up.

    punch-up: a process where we individually go through the writer’s first draft and offer up suggestions for jokes, story structure, and/or cuts. Then we get into one room and offer up all of our suggestions at the same time until the writer is convinced he or she should never write anything ever again while simultaneously…

  • Two Things

    Two Things

    For those of you who are Liz Feldman fans, want to be Liz Feldman fans, or enjoy all things The L Word, here’s Liz’s new Internet show: This Just Out, with Liz Feldman. Liz is a 4-time Emmy winner for her work as a writer/producer on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. Being the over-achiever that she…

  • suck it, movable type.

    To those of you who have written to say that your obsessive desire to read every single one of my archived entries has been thwarted by server problems, I say: “I fixed the archives.” And: “Please share some of your spare time with real, live humans.”
