I met Ray Bradbury in 1991 at the San Juan Capistrano Library where he was doing a small book signing for The Halloween Tree. My mom drove me to the signing and as I stood behind her, holding my ripped and taped up Bradbury book, I heard her say “I thought the characters’ names were […]

Michel Gondry Will Draw Your Portrait for $19.95
I suggest you all get on this ASAP because HE IS MICHEL GONDRY FOR CHRIST’S SAKE and he directed the Jim Carrey movie that didn’t suck which is something only a Frenchman or a seventh level warrior mage could do*. For my money, Be Kind, Rewind is a much better movie than Eternal Sunshine of […]

New Tumblr Blog Pokes Fun at Something Called “Hipsters”
Jonas Brothers? The above picture comes from a Tumblr blog called Look at this fucking hipster. So I did! I looked at this fucking hipster. And I laughed! I can’t believe nobody has thought to make fun of these “hipster” things before and even so…well it never gets old does it? Or doesn’t it? I […]

The Clinic: You Put Your Weed in There
I live in San Francisco and this means that if I were willing to, oh I don’t know, take the BART into Oakland to visit a “doctor” who would nod his head at my “anxiety problems” and write me up a “prescription” for medical marijuana I could then, oh I still don’t know, head over […]

Flippy After David After the Dentist
God I love the internet and its silly stupid memes. In response to America falling in love with the YouTube Sensation™ “David and the Dentist” everyone and their cat (Chad Vader, I’m looking at you) made a version of the beloved youngster high on Novocaine in the backseat of a minivan. That sounded less creepy […]

Oh Noes! Is Dollhouse Getting the Axe?
Canceled??? Is it??? According to a reliable source which rhymes with “Flitter” Episode #13 (the Felicia Day episode) will only be available on the season one DVD and will not air on Fox. This could mean that Fox has decided to cut the series off, canceling it after 12 episodes (NOOOOOOO). This could also mean […]

Celebritwitterers*
Guess who just joined Twitter? Miracle Laurie (AKA “Millie/November” AKA “Nice Rack”) from Dollhouse! There are three followers in a vase. One follower is you. From her tweets thus far I’ve learned she “is excited about many things”, plays the ukelele, and “just got home from seeing my fiance’s ROCKIN’ Beach Boys Tribute Band: SURFIN’ […]

The Streamys: The Most Adorable Awards Show Ever
Felicia Day or as she is known around the Merc offices “Mrs. Henriksen” I spent Saturday night watching the First Annual Streamy Awards and, yes okay yes, tweeting about it. Shut up. Until a better platform for my thoughts about cats, yoga, and diet soda ramps up, I’m sticking with it. Deal, okay? The Streamys, […]

Saving Newspapers: The Musical!
I’m a wee bit obsessed with The Rock Cookie Bottom’s Jonathan Mann. Mann writes a song a day and if you email him with a topic request, he might write a song for you! I am totally going to ask him to write a song about himself because I’m all meta and shit like that. […]

Boing Boing, io9, and a Story About a Golden Eyed Seal.
Last night I gathered my wits about me, girded my liver, popped some anti anxiety meds and headed downtown (or whatever they call the tall building place in San Francisco) to the Minna Gallery for the Geek Reading with Cory Doctorow, Rudy Rucker, Annalee Newitz and Charlie Jane Anders to benefit EFF. EFF (The Electronic […]

Final BSG Related Post From Me Ever*
*This is probably a lie. Angel and Spike debate the finale of BSG. Sort of. A big thank you to Charlie Jane Anders at io9.
