I totally get the self-selecting-out. I can make the most amazing cosplays, but would I ever wear the things that I end up making for other people? Nope. I don’t have the confidence, or patience, to stare down the negativity out there for not “looking the role” when I’m trying to do something fun. It definitely…

$2,000, and I didn’t, actually. Being second or third was a foregone conclusion, and either would have been enough to pay for the trip. You have to commit to a minimum of two full days for the taping, since you don’t know when they’ll pull your name to be on. Luckily, they pulled mine early—before lunch on the first…

Cool! I was pre-social media’s dominance, but what a fun experience for you. I believe it was Andy Warhol who said everyone will be a meme for 15 minutes.

When I tried out (and this was before online testing—you sent in a postcard hoping just to make it into the testing pool), the thing that struck me most was how many people are MEGAFANS of Jeopardy and had pinned a shocking amount of their life hopes on getting on the show. They studied, they had books about the show,…

And thank YOU for the name of my next podcast!

A dream I hold for every human.

I enjoyed it. She’s full-on effing crazy in Camping on HBO. Loved her in that, even if her character was totally unlikable.

I think I like Jennifer Garner a little more every time I see her. Her Instagram is a delight, and it’s hard not to like someone who coordinates their gift wrap with a pair of running shoes.

It’s a brilliant and almost otherwise unspoken take. She’s a goddess.

Brilliant. Painfully, horribly, totally true brilliance. I’d thank you for writing exactly what I’m feeling, but I need to go stock up on a lifetime’s supply of alcohol that will only last 30 days.

According to my LA sources, they definitely eat at this one. A lot have starved themselves like they’re headed into a Biggest Loser finale, and this is finally their chance to consume solid food.

Excited to see how sliding barn doors and shiplap enhance the castle-ness!

Her outfit was one my absolute faves--so regal! That jeweled detailing! Loved everything about it.

Eh, he’s just giving his moronic Republican base excuses to feel okay about voting for him. Was he kidnapped by aliens? Momentarily blinded by some sun glare? Sick from eating a bad hot dog? They honestly don’t care as long as they have an excuse to hang their hats on. Watch—this re-election will still be suuuuuper…

The three Rs—Remorseful Admission + “Rehab”-for-Whatever + Redemption Role/Album/Book in two to three years. Might also throw in a fourth and Recommit to Jesus somewhere in there. Isn’t that how every fallen celeb story plays out (unless you’re a white man accused of sexual harassment/assault, which has a one-year…

Captain Kangaroo, Mr. Green Jeans, and every male neighbor from Sesame Street, as well.

“Social media hero”

Yours was the most helpful explanation in this whole thing. I understood the concept before, but now I GET it.

And for Floridians who don’t want alligators, pythons, and softball-sized flying insects. It’s like the Devil’s Crossroads up in there!

Little House on the Prairie???? Way to bury the lede here.
