Explained the “Lost” series finale this morning to someone who stopped watching in Season 4. The words “magical glowy cave” were used a lot.

This is a deviation from the Wrong Liz Miller format, admittedly, but just to be clear — this is not me.

Factual.
Such a great time was had on @AOTS. But I am excited to be back at @NewTeeVee today! Online video yay! What’s the URL for @YouTube again?
As one of my last acts on "Attack of the Show"...
…I managed to get in a reference to the Star Trek: Voyager episode “Threshold” where Tom Paris travels at Warp 10 and becomes a giant lizard.
It’s been a great two weeks.

Rudy: It's the story of a girl named Liz.
Rudy: She happens to be looking for a roommate.
Rudy: When a strange, bumbling but well meaning hipster looking youngster shows up, she assumes it's for the room.
Liz: IS MY NEW ROOMMATE THE DOCTOR?
Rudy: Mayhem ensues.
Liz: BEST SHOW EVER.
Rudy: And the title of this amazing series: "WHO'S MY ROOMMATE?"
Liz: MIND BLOWN.

– Carrie Bradshaw in Sex and the City 2, via “Burkas and Birkins” by Lindy West. (The fifteen or twenty minutes you will spend reading West’s review are probably infinitely more worthwhile, entertaining, and thought-provoking than the film’s entire 146-minute runtime.)
Now I woke up with a hangover...
So life for the few days has consisted of @AOTS, play revision, & “Fringe.” But tonight I will be social! (Then go home for more “Fringe.”)
Hey, #Lost fans — @AOTS brings you Lost-Chat! (Many words in this are mine.) http://bit.ly/cEYZqz #busybutnottoobusyforselfpromotion
Right back atcha! RT @Jesse_Warren: Great panel at @NewMedialocity with @Mark_Gantt @bernnotice @lizlet. I heart all you new media mavens!
Heading out for day of web video talkin’ climaxing with @NewMedialocity at 4. Must not get into knife fight with @jesse_warren. (Nemesis!)
Wow, this 1stweek of writing-for-live-TV has left me Tweet-less. But it’s been crazy fun. If y’all have any Qs about it, I’ll try to answer.
Question: Would there be interest in me reading “Eat, Pray, Love” for the 1st time on Sunday and live-tweeting it? I hear it’s snark-worthy.

So if @DamonLindelof & @CarltonCuse are now media personalities, I got dibs on writing an Odd Couple-esque pilot for ‘em. Title: “NerdTime!”
Looked this up for a joke, but it’s awesome— the “script” for Street Fighter II. http://bit.ly/du9ohJ Blanka’s secret past? Heartbreaking!
Why conversations with the East Coast are bad...
Me: How was "Lost" tonight?
AJ: We shall see
Me: Whaaa?
Day two of pants-before-noon-in-an-office! Hopefully I can maintain my one-bodily-fluid-joke-a-day rate for the next two weeks.

Having great 1st day @AOTS, but my laptop at home is mid-system fail. It’s like having a sick child, one I might have to mercy-kill.
“It just felt like they cast them together solely for the box office,” said...”

I use ALL CAPS in this post because I am EXCITED. RT @NewTeeVee: My Damn Channel To Bring Celebrity Autobiography Online http://dlvr.it/ybSr
Yikes! Finally able to say this: My heart still belongs to @NewTeeVee, but I’m taking two weeks off to write for @AOTS! http://bit.ly/a6ImaY
In which I do something new.
So I was going to maybe go on vacation this summer — someplace cheap and low-key, with umbrella drinks and a beach.
Instead, I’m taking a two-week leave of absence from NewTeeVee, starting Friday, to go write on G4’s Attack of the Show.
This will be… different from that.
The gig is very much a temporary one, a fill-in for a staffer who’s going on vacation,...
Fun fact about me: When I get good news, my reaction is best described as “The 10th Doctor meets a Muppet.” Dramatized: “What? WHAT? AHHH!”
Hey. You. http://newteevee.com Yeah, you. Don’t pretend to be shy. ‘Cuz, girl, you know you’re looking FINE tonight. #sexyredesignissexy

British politics are fascinating on a number of levels, but most interesting for Americans might be this: Right now the balance of power between Conservative and Labor comes down to which side can convince the Liberal Democrats to join them. This is what one three-party system looks like.
“Babies” is exactly what its title promises. It’s babies. And if you love babies...”
