Soap and Rejections

Wednesday, January 31st, 2007

On my way to the post office the other day, I tried to remember if I was expecting anything in the mail. Mail is a magical thing, especially these days, when it’s possible to find almost anything you want for sale on the Internet and have it in your hands a few days later. Thanks […]

True Weblog Confessions

Monday, January 29th, 2007

In honor of yesterday’s post (and Rhonda’s earlier comment about unbloggable Nick stuff), here’s a list of bizarre or embarrassing things I should never mention in this blog:
-I watched Flavor of Love. Both seasons.

Miami, you’re cuter than…

Thursday, January 25th, 2007

I’m going along with Rhonda and Rhian and their lists. Thirteen random things about me:
1. I’m as girly as a girl can be, but you’ll never catch me in a skirt or a dress. Life is for jeans, and jeans are for life.
2. A couple of years ago, I got upset and threw a tantrum […]

Beware the Vamp Writer Curse!

Thursday, January 25th, 2007

You’ve heard of the Superman Curse. Pop culture legend forebodes tragedy for those involved in Superman-related projects, and especially for any actor who plays Superman.

(Unless that actor is Dean Cain, in which case pop culture legend forebodes roles in many made-for-TV movies, most of which are probably produced by Lifetime, if not The Hallmark Channel.)
It’s […]
