Geek Girls Unite
It’s All Finally Happening
I saw the craziest thing happen when I was walking down Fairfax this afternoon. I’m not sure what happened before I got to the scene, but it looked like two women were exchanging numbers because of an obvious fender-bender. One woman then drives away and the other, utterly peeved, walks back to her car and pulls her car door open with the strength of 1,000 men. Unfortunately for her, she opened it right into the back of a tow truck. Oof! I’m not sure why I felt like sharing that pointless anecdote but it’s was definitely a signature L.A. moment. Shit like that happens all the time here. I’m just lucky—knock on wood—that it hasn’t…
Geek Like Me
As I mentioned in yesterday’s post, I’ve just started work on my third book. [Does the running-man in place!] I don’t want want to give too much away but I will say that it’s a literary celebration of all the fangirls, fashionistas, bookworms, indie chicks, craft mavens and other female misfits out there. (Can I get a “what what?”) That said, I’d like to try something I’ve never done before in my book-writing pursuits: I want to include YOUR input!! Specifically, I’m looking to put together a guild of girls who are open to having their brains picked throughout this process and providing valuable pearls of wisdom regarding various areas of geek expertise. If you…
…And Everything Is Going To The Beat
Can you tell I’m completely obsessed with Passion Pit right now? It’s a sickness. Every time I’ve felt down in the past month, if I can somehow manage to stumble my way to the stereo to put on Manners, my body/mind/spirit starts to perk up and I erupt into an impromptu dance party that immediately lifts my mood. It’s the weirdest thing. Passion Pit? More like Passion Prozac! Passion Paxil! Passion Wellbutrin! (Okay, so that one doesn’t exactly roll of the tongue, but you get the picture.) Before I inevitably embark on a million tangents, let me get some work-related announcements out of the way. I just posted a new “Music Is My Boyfriend” column…
The Party Doesn’t Start ‘Til I Walk In
People, get ready ’cause there’s a big post a-coming! First up, I’d like to announce the winner of the last Twitter contest I did. Actually, let’s make that winners. I took so gosh-darn long to pick a winner, I thought it was totes appropriate to bestow the honor to two of my fave answers. If ya’ll remember, I asked you all to channel your inner small screen and tell me if you could live your life inside any TV show—sitcom, drama, sci-fi or otherwise—what would it be and why? As per usual, your answers were all eloquent and imaginary. (Duh, as if I would expect anything less from you guys!) That said, I have to…
Music Is My Boyfriend
I’m so tickled to announce that I’m now blogging over at YourItList.com. I have a monthly column called “Music Is My Boyfriend,” where I’ll be fawning over my latest musical obsessions, annoyances and everything in between. Hoof it over and hear why I’m practicing my British accent thanks to bands like The Big Pink, La Roux and The Wombats.
