Last Saturday, wrote play. This afternoon, rehearsed play. This evening, directing play! Oh, one-act theater, you are the best.

Rain or shine, I will apparently be spending about 50% of this Sunday drinking margaritas. Excellent.
About to catch up on two days’ worth of viral videos. Apologies in advance to those who follow @newteevee - you may be bombarded soon.
Just saw the phrase “future-proofed” in an article on bbc.co.uk. Wow, that’s a great expression.
Farecast keeps telling me to wait on buying my plane ticket for SXSW. It had better not be steering me wrong, or there will be PUNISHMENT.
“I think we’re contractually obliged to use him.”

If this is true, I literally CANNOT WAIT.
Regarding today's GChat phishing scam...
JS: umm i clicked on it... but.. i closed it right away...

Me: it's not google -- it's someone hijacking google
Me: pretty damn sleezy
JS: hahhaa thats why the leading internet entity should be ashamed of itself for letting hijackings happen. what is this? Passenger 57???
Me: I kind of hope so
Me: Wesley Snipes could solve this problem ASAP
JS: wesley snipes will take over eric schmidt
JS: hahahaha
Oh my goodness. Not only is L&O:UK pretty solid crime procedural, but I think Martha Jones and Lee Adama might hook up!
Time for email catch-up and “Law & Order UK,” starring Lee Adama and Martha Jones. Geektastic! (Though I don’t have high hopes for quality.)
Writing about cars. First impulse: “need to look up bad car puns to incorporate.” Fighting said impulse now.
Seeking an actress (early 30s) who is free Saturday to perform in an informal “theater jam” fundraiser. Let me know — should be fun!
Need a very very quick favor from anyone in the UK with a web browser. Payment made via the international currency of cat videos.

Great Friday night spent rocking out with Taco!!? Now I do yoga and write play and make t-shirt and get haircut and eat dinner and paarty.
Speaking of Disneyland — just tried to use the word innovention in today’s NTVS review. Turns out that is not a real word.
Ok, I now know of at least five people in the last 2 months who have done the “Free on Your Birthday” Disneyland deal. BEST PROMOTION EVER.

So it appears that today is one of those days where I need to eat everything in sight. It’s good that I don’t have a cat.

In which I flat-out admit that I want to be Heidi Klum when I grow up.
Fun fact: the copy-editor tweaked one parenthetical from (who gets to have sex with Seal on a regular basis) to (who just happens to be married to Seal). I definitely see her point. But dude, Seal.
Do you know your biblical references?

I scored 6 out of 10 on this quiz, which (given that I am a dirty heathen) is NOT BAD.
Thx for the restaurant recs, y’all. Dinner has been rescheduled, but leaning towards Kitchen 24. So many good places in that area, though!
Tonight, I’d like to try a new restaurant in the Cahuenga area (prior to movie tiem at the Arclight). Anyone got a recommendation?
Thank you, rain, for justifying my decision to stay inside all day and read, answer email, write, and play Rock Band.
Hey, hobbits? Maybe you wouldn’t be freezing to death on the mountains of Moria if YOU WERE WEARING SHOES.
Watching “Lord of the Rings” while going through spreadsheets. This movie is really racist against orks.
