Ended up driving to Pasadena. AC I could control and “Prisoner of Azkaban” read by Stephen Fry were the deciding factors. #sorryplanetearth

When did you first hear about Facebook?
Saw The Social Network tonight, after having read the script a while ago and following the behind-the-scenes (not to mention the reality of what actually happened).
Overall, it’s just great filmmaking — it’s Fincher being calm and confident and so skilled at putting talented people together and the result plays beautifully — plus, It’s refreshing to see something...
This is my favorite response to today’s dilemma. RT @MissingReelTV: @lizlet Answer: Don’t EVER go to Pasadena.
Decision time: Take the bus to Pasadena (1.5 hours each way) or drive to Pasadena (less than an hour each way, $9 parking plus gas)?
#NEWTWITTER IS BLOWING MY MIND.
Last Friday I talked with @DamnRob about why cynics are wrong about the web. Don’t believe me? TOUGH. There’s proof! http://t.co/u85zoJM

Oh, he’s good at this.
Obligatory post about how hot it is in L.A.
Yes, life is hell, as in it feels like we are living in the pits of Hell right now. But I will say this: About two months ago, I got a new roommate via Craigslist — a nice girl but a complete stranger. Our cohabitation has been completely painless since she moved in but we’ve been relatively distant towards each other (what with, you know, being complete strangers).
But today, it...

Dear Frank, Sometimes, the holes in your pop culture knowledge seem understandable — the world is vast and wide, and Dirty Dancing isn’t every young man’s cup of tea. But you haven’t seen Tron? Completely bizarre.
Please enjoy the first installment of my new side project, Liz Tells Frank What Happened In... And if you enjoy it, feel free to share via the Interwebs. New entries every Monday!...

(MAN was I glad she did that.)
But here is the reason she is awesome beyond all that. She’ll edit...
