Too Much Awesome
Remember how the Wonder Twins (helpers to the Super Friends) would get together and save people? Well, it seems like whenever my brother and I get together, instead of saving people, we make people fall down. And break something. Take the last time my brother and I got together at my house: My grandma fell […]
Your Holiday Helper
Happy Black Friday, the busiest shopping day of the year! Thanksgiving is nice and all—for those of you who went home for the holidays, here’s one of my favorite Liz Phair songs to cheer you up. See? It’s not just you—but let’s face it: It’s really all about the shopping the day after. See, retailers […]
Bloopers, Brothers, Brazilians, and Boyfriends
So I didn’t see any movies at all this weekend—except Rachel Getting Married, but that was on Starz or HBO or something, and it’s been out forever, so that doesn’t count. I have to say, if Kim (Anne Hathaway’s character) was my sister, not only would I NOT have invited her to my wedding, I […]
Sandra Bullock Divorce Custody Battle!
NEW MOON!!! AHHHH!!!! Ha, no, I didn’t go to New Moon last night at 12:01. I was doing what I’m always doing lately at 12:01AM: waiting for my Ambien to kick in and going, “Why don’t they have Say Yes To The Dress on On Demand?” If you’re doing NaNoWriMo right now, you were probably […]
2012–Best Movie of All Time?
I went to see 2012 over the weekend. As a disaster movie junkie—seriously, I LOVE a movie in which human beings are (pretend) killed by any sort of natural disaster, be it:
Giada/Mercy/Glee/Miami
I’m leaving now for Miami for my event tomorrow, and I’m so excited because I get to stay in a fancy hotel in South Beach instead of my house (which still smells like a rotting mouse corpse. How can such a small thing take so long to decompose?), eat room service, and…. …I get to […]
Meg’s Mail Bag
It’s perfect stay-indoors weather here because of pesky Tropical Storm Ida–windy and rainy, with palm fronds flying everywhere! And while I hope it clears up in time for the book fair in Miami this weekend, it’s kind of a good opportunity for us to dip into Meg’s Mail Bag, since it’s been a while. So […]
Don’t Be a Book Licker!
It was an exciting weekend here in Casa Cabot. Why? Well, since I’m going to be speaking and signing at the Miami Book Festival this coming Saturday (the fair starts TODAY! Click here to see all the amazing authors who are going to be there!) the Miami Herald asked me for some advice for girls. […]
The Watchmen
I finally saw the movie of The Watchmen! I’d tried to read the graphic novel, but somehow I could never finish it. I have no idea why. The book has everything…sex, naked people, romance, sex, mystery, pirates (there were no pirates in the movie)! I think I got bogged down with the pirates. So I […]
New in November….
It’s November…. And you know what that means! No, not pumpkin pie! (Although it means that, too!) It means, among other things…. The Glee cast album is out! Finally! I thought I was going to go crazy if I didn’t get that cast version of Bust a Move. But now I can relax. November is […]
