Okay fine, by “it” I just mean the camera. We turned a camera on in the backseat of the car after Red Eye. What a cheap tease that was. Anyway, look! A video featuring Anna and me! Yay! Also, I was looking at Anna’s blog and do you guys want your own tags? Is that what I’m hearing? Is that the dealio? Is that the scuttlebutt? The news? The 411? The word on the street? The story? The guff? The, uh, er… I’m running out of terms… I feel like there are some funny ones I’m missing. Crap! Tags?

More photos!
More photos you guys! It’s truly a banner Saturday for you!
Here I am on Red Eye being all smiley.
Here I am being thoughtful.
Here I am making this face.
Yep, another face.
Here I am on Red Eye the week before looking like I was suffering some kind of allergy attack although I don’t think I was.
Did I already post this photo?
Photos!
I’m overdue in posting photos so here I go. What a wonderful Saturday surprise for you, right?
Here I am with Jeff Bakalar and Wilson Tang from CNET’s The 404.
Here’s Jeff during the show.
Here’s me before the show.
Here’s Jeff, Justin and Wilson the night before at The 404 Meetup.
Here’s me looking achingly beautiful in the car on the way home from Tuesday’s Red Eye appearance.
I’m happy about the way this camera captures the blue color of my skin. It’s a new embalming fluid I’m using. I think it’s really working!
Here I am in the green room of Red Eye. Fun fact: It’s also the green room used by Morning Show w/ Mike and Juliet and Hannity.
Here’s a public restroom key on a giant key chain. I think giant keychains are funny, especially if they happen to be toothbrushes or something related to the business which houses the bathroom. This wasn’t a giant wooden stick store though, it was a cafe. How uncreative! Anyway though when I walked out brandishing said key I mumbled to something in line about how I almost lost the key! No one thought it was funny. Or rather, no one else thought it was funny. (I had a hearty chuckle at my joke though.)
Here’s a tree in Brooklyn which I uploaded on twitpic with the caption “Coward!”
Here’s a pinball machine featuring the likeness of Courtney Friel I think. “Oh my God, I know her!” I exclaimed, pointing to the pinball machine and taking a photo.
“No way! I know her too!” I said, pointing to Ms. Pacman and taking a photo.
Q&A vlog
The 404; media lunches; Red Eye
The 404 is totally using my name to draw people to their meetup event. I feel just like Kelly Bensimon on Real Housewives of NYC only I’m not tanned within an inch of my life and I’m not crazy. Well, not THAT crazy. Also I didn’t used to be a model and I wear bras. So I guess she and I aren’t so alike.
In other news I went to a fancy lunch today and was caught surreptitiously tweeting by the guy sitting next to me. “Are you hiding?” he asked, because I was crouched down hovering over my phone as if that wouldn’t be obvious. Also, everyone at this media lunch (it was in honor of three authors with new books coming out) was Someone and while I am Someone I am a different kind of Someone and so I felt kind of self-conscious especially when I explained that I’m illiterate. Then I spit out a tooth and told them that I’ve never been one for book larnin’ but I’m real good with my hands. Then I whittled a Grecian urn out of sweet butter and cremated a bread roll and put the remains in the urn. What kind of bread you ask? It was a rosemary almond loaf.
As for the small green cookies I regret that I didn’t grab more of them from the little cookie basket but I was trying to be ladylike.
Also, I’m on Red Eye tonight. It’s a last minute thingie. A last minute doohicky. A last minute foofaraw. A last minute whirligig. A last minute to do. A last minute affair. You guys, I’m totally doing this without a thesaurus! A last minute engagement. A last minute TV appearance. Uh oh, these are going in the direction of boring. A last minute thing. Shit, I lost it.
I'm on Red Eye tonight; dogs
Remember how I was going to be on tomorrow night? Well I’m on tonight! Yay!
Also: I’m closer and closer to actually getting a puppy if by closer and closer you mean still kind of far away but seriously thinking about it. What kind should I get? Let’s all weigh in because not only will it be helpful and fun, but who doesn’t like talking about dogs? Assholes, that’s who!
Anyway, I’m looking for a small dog (under 10 lbs) that isn’t a jerk and has a working knowledge of social media. Some experience with video editing a plus but not a requirement. Preferably this dog will have four legs and a face. I’m not averse to poodles. I’m just not, though I’m averse to giving them silly haircuts. I like puppies. I’m not looking exclusively for a purebred and I’d like to get a dog from a shelter so I can feel good about myself however I’m beginning to suspect that the cute little puppies get adopted in two seconds flat, meaning the dogs that I would want are going to have no problem getting adopted, and it’s the hulking pitbulls with ads like “adopt this sweet little girl!” that sit in the shelter for awhile and the whole thing just makes me sad and makes me think of that commercial where Sarah Mclachlan sings and they show dogs making puppy dog eyes and I always change the channel quickly because it makes me sad and reminds me of the time I stupidly watched a video of dogs being euthanized because I was writing an article on pets and anyway, I’m still haunted by it and try not to think about it. All that being said, I don’t want to adopt sweet little 85 lb Sadie whose owner surrendered her (“we don’t know why, she couldn’t be sweeter! she’s a rambunctious bundle of energy looking for a forever home with lots of discipline, love and no children or other pets.”)
What was I saying? Oh yeah, I don’t know. Dogs, puppies, Red Eye.
Oh and I think my pithy bon mots are in the current issue of Life & Style in the Slip-ups section. I haven’t seen it yet though.
Some shots from Friday's Red Eye
Here I am in the green room just being all ravishing and stuff.
And then here I am in the newsroom where I was seated for the first couple blocks of the show.
“Blocks,” that’s real TV talk. Did I lose you? No? Let me try harder: camera. top of the show. makeup. um… lights… uh… er… um… wait, come back in a few minutes. I need to think more about this.
Still in the newsroom.
Yep, newsroom.
NEWSROOM!
And then I came into the studio and made this face.
And then apparently I laughed so hard my left eyeball popped out.
Q&A vlog
I'm on Paltalk tomorrow. Also: other stuff!
I had a whole long post planned, one for which I even started a list on a pad of paper by my computer so I wouldn’t forget (it includes “headshots” and “zucchini”) however I’m too tired. I’m sorry. Please, no waterworks from the likes of you tonight.
Anyway, I also wanted to tell you I’ll be on Paltalk with Diana Falzone tomorrow at 11am ET. You can watch it here.
And of course I’ll be on Red Eye on Friday. You’re so excited it hurts.
Clips from Red Eye last night
thanks to Joe McDonald for making this!
Note in the first question how I lose my train of thought. Also you can see my bra as the show wears on. Also, I am covered in cysts and glow in the dark. Anything else I can over share?
