Tomorrow’s plans: Leading a merry crew to the WeHo carnival in the early evening, followed by a house party. Let me know if you want in!
Men, who would you rather be: Don Draper on “Mad Men” or Hank Moody on “Californication”? Note that you will be judged on your answer.

Coolest thing I’ve seen this week and I can’t remember where I found it.
Totally awesome.
Pretty jazzed about speaking @WebTVPrep on November 9 — congrats to @hotrodrodda on its launch! Should be a very cool program overall.
Writing away over here, but so very hungry. If roommate does not get back with my sandwich soon… http://bit.ly/22m0PM
Damn I need an intern. Duties to consist solely of “playing with kitty so she stops distracting me when I’m trying to-” “MEOW MEOW MEOW!”
Went to amazing wedding in San Diego this weekend, but always forget how driving takes it out of me. Worth it, but tomorrow: car vacation.

It’s funny because it’s true.
Could you have fixed this joke?
So for today’s NewTeeVee review, I attempted to make a funny comment about how the name of the show Digits is potentially dated given the constantly evolving state of communications today. Here’s what I originally wrote:
Each episode presents a new approach to meeting women and finding ways to engage with them, all in pursuit of that ultimate prize: her phone number. (A twist which...
“…which derive their appeal thanks to a niche audience appeal and an...”
– I not only wrote the above, but reread it at least twice before submitting today’s NewTeeVee piece for copyediting (and thank god for copyeditors, let me tell you). I am posting it here because my shame must be made public, if I’m to learn anything.
Guys, I seriously cannot stop reading this Bronson Pinchot interview. Seriously, it’s awesome. http://bit.ly/decKq
Have you checked out "wrong liz miller" recently? →
Because man, people have been bad about double-checking their To: fields the last couple of weeks.
Anyone available today to do a transcription of a 35 minute interview? Paid gig, contact liz@lizlet.com. Thanks!
Dear Liz,
You know how this evening you’ve felt warm and relaxed and boneless in all the right ways? You know how your urge to kill was much much less than usual? Well, that’s because you went for a run after you finally escaped work. Feels good, right? Right. So that’s why we need to keep doing it, no matter how often we forget. Sanity lies within.
Thanks,
Liz

“And there, in a nutshell is why there can be no rehab for you in the hearts of...”
– Is the world ready for Akiva Goldsman rehab? Heidi McDonald’s answer is “NO NO NO.”
Every time I see #beatcancer Tweeted, that Michael Jackson song gets stuck in my head. It’s still a worthy cause, though.
The improv show I saw last night included an on-stage marriage proposal. The surprised bride-to-be said yes right away. No comedic timing.
Hey @htsaaar, “When you say ‘you and the guys,’ you mean the Internet, don’t you?”
Agreement! RT @Awesomeosity: if you like awesome independent content go follow @ericmortensen (if he doesn’t reach 1K, @bliptv fires him)
Watching what is undoubtedly one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen. “Pocket Ninjas,” guys. It’s 90% training montages. Not exaggerating.

“One place where real life does cross over into the fictional character of...”
– Interview: Jack McBrayer, Robert Carlock Tout the Return of “30 Rock”
I don’t know if that fact ruins the character of Kenneth or makes him 100% better.
So today’s car shopping ate my brain. But I now own a bright blue used Suzuki with a spacious interior — yep, bigger on the inside. #nerd
Tonight marked the fourth time I heard “All Along The Watchtower” performed live this year. To be fair, tonight it was Bob Dylan doing it.
Remembering that tomorrow night is Bob Dylan night is a great way to improve one’s mood. Note: only effective if you have Bob Dylan ticket.
Casting the Sweet Valley High Movie -... →
Forgot to link to this when it was originally posted, but this was one of the more fun assignments I’ve ever gotten. And AWESOME SEGUE ALERT — because Diablo Cody is writing the new Sweet Valley movie, I can throw in a link to another person hypothesizing about Diablo Cody reimagining an iconic franchise. It is much much funnier than my own.
Waiting to watch some truly lovely ladies say their vows. Way less scary than “Paranormal Activity.” #yaybestdayever
Important update for any “Star Wars” fan who wishes to sleep in sweet Taun-Taun comfort: http://lizlet.tumblr.com/post/208733515
Have to say, it’s awesome to watch the demands for “Paranormal Activity“‘s wide release slowly approach 1,000,000. http://bit.ly/edYev
New Wrong Liz Miller — and one that hints at a secret interstellar conspiracy happening right under our noses… http://bit.ly/1LPk5U
Dear Orange County, I never thought that one of the reasons I would ever loathe you was that you were so far away. Hate, Liz.
