I’m in for it: Now I get to deal with the actual audience on a daily basis instead of just calling people, which is what I’ve been doing up to this point. One of the other members of my department is shifting to another show, so I’m getting thrown into the gaping maw of working ...

I really don’t think this will pass, considering how difficult and time-consuming it is to amend the constitution. But if it does, mark my words, I am leaving this country. I don’t know where I’ll go, but I cannot live in a country that makes me and a hell of a lot of other people ...

HBO gave me an early birthday present: Six Feet Under Season 2 is coming out on my birthday! Woo!

Ah, the old fortune cookie game: Adding “in bed” to whatever fortune comes your way, and giggle like a 12-year-old at the results.

Okay hockey fans, the Washington Capitals have traded Peter Bondra to Ottawa. Is this: a) Unbelievably stupid, ruining what little goodwill the Caps still have in D.C. by trading one of their most popular players? b) Unbelievably stupid, trading one of their best players for a questionable prospect and a draft pick? c) A good ...

I have gotten so addicted to 24 it’s not even funny. I don’t have time to blame all the people who recommended it to me, so for now I’ll just blame Mark Greer and Laz, the two people who cheerleaded for it the most to me. I hadn’t actually watched before this season, but this ...

I got to jam with Melissa Etheridge’s band for about ten seconds today. I should back up: I’m a huge Melissa Etheridge fan, have been since I was 12. I was so excited that she was just coming and I could even watch her sound check, I was giddy. So I went down early to ...
