Today a new sun rises for me; everything lives, everything is animated, everything seems to speak to me of my passion, everything invites me to cherish it.

Checking In

Saturday, January 9th, 2010

Well, Twenty-Ten, how’d we do this week?
It was a great week for me, personally.  If you’re my friend on Facebook, you know that I’ve brought the sexy back this week.  When it rains, it pours!  It’s been fun.
And my co-worker/friend/running guru Sheryl has been kicking my butt and helping me really get in gear for [...]

You’re Never Really Dead

Tuesday, February 3rd, 2009

Ever since Charlie Pace’s “death” on my tied-for-first favorite television show Lost, I have been steadfast in my belief that Charlie is not really dead.
I’ve been laughed at, mocked, ridiculed, and smacked upside the head, but I’ve held firm.
When, tell me WHEN, in the entire history of Lost, has a dead body ever really been [...]

Why Zachary Levi Is #1 In My Book

Tuesday, September 2nd, 2008

The Story:
Ever since I first met Zachary Levi last year, I’ve wanted just one thing from our relationship: for him to know my name without looking at my nametag.  (Yes, I wear a nametag.)
Today was a slow day at work, which means that while the lot was busy, we didn’t have that many tour guests.  [...]

Connection Points

Wednesday, July 16th, 2008

Today was a day for connection points.
Three MAJOR connection points happened today.  One, I can’t tell you about.  At least, not yet.  The other two… they’re great stories!
The Dark Knight opens in theaters everywhere on Friday.  So, true to Warner Brothers Studios tradition, this whole week there are screenings on the lot of the movie.  [...]

Writers

Thursday, June 26th, 2008

Writers are generally a crazy sort of people.  To name just a few: Emily Dickinson, Sylvia Plath, Virginia Woolf, Edgar Allen Poe, Lewis Carroll, Joseph Heller (have you read Catch-22?  You’d have to be crazy to write something like that!).
Ann Waldron writes “Writers do behave oddly. They can be monomaniacal about their work, obsessional about [...]

Un-Birthdays

Saturday, June 21st, 2008

The Mad Hatter had it right. Every day should be a celebration. We should at least celebrate half-birthdays. My half-birthday is next weekend, by the way. No pressure or anything, just if anyone wants to spread some love or something, I can email you my mailing address (I love snail mail!).
On June [...]

Bragging Again

Friday, May 23rd, 2008

So in yesterday’s blog (scroll down or read it here), I talked about gray skies and hot temperature. I also mentioned that I can’t wait to see my boys (cast of Chuck) back on the lot and hard at work.
Well, I didn’t have to wait long.
Today I talked to Zachary Levi. I was [...]

A Nose

Sunday, May 4th, 2008

Chuck has a nose for picking out good fiction.  Lately, we’ve been enjoying P. G. Wodehouse’s Life With Jeeves.  Bertie Wooster is a very silly character and is almost annoying except for that fact that he feels so familiar…  I think that if I were a 19th century British aristocrat and if I were male, [...]

Sounds of Silence

Friday, January 25th, 2008

Well. My apologies.
It’s been a while since I’ve posted. I did write a nice long post last weekend about the movie Independence Day, but something happened and that post disappeared. (Did anyone get a chance to read it before it disappeared?)
So now, where to begin? So much to talk about and [...]

The (Brief) Return Of Chuck

Friday, January 11th, 2008

Chuck is back!
The TV show, I mean.
And only for two episodes.
Chuck will be airing on NBC on Thursday, January 24th, from 8:00-9:00 PM and again the same night from 10:00-11:00 PM.  Two new episodes, flanking The Apprentice: Celebrity Edition.
So check your TiVos and DVRs and make sure they can handle the time and day change.  [...]

Ne’er A Mother, Ever

Friday, January 11th, 2008

It’s official.
Chuck will never be a mother.  Well, unless an angel comes and visits her.  Then, I suppose, she could be a mother.  But that’s a bit unlikely.
Chuck got fixed yesterday.  I have never been so anxious in my life.  I was literally on pins and needles until I got the call from my vet, [...]

Good-bye, Chuck!

Tuesday, December 4th, 2007

For now, at least.
Chuck won’t be airing new episodes until January, and their last day of production is tomorrow.  So sad.
Good thing (sorta) is that whether or not the strike was happening, this month would still be rather dead on the lot.  Turns out, most productions shut down for the month of December for their [...]

Her Boyfriend’s Back

Tuesday, November 27th, 2007

And he’s causing trouble.
SPOILER ALERT!!!! If you haven’t seen the last two episodes of Chuck, then stop reading this post. Instead, go read this. But if you have seen the past two episodes of Chuck, then continue and enjoy.

Chuckfest

Tuesday, November 27th, 2007

Three weeks ago, this photo was taken at the weekly Monday night Chuckfest. Ain’t we a good-lookin’ group?

Better Every Week

Tuesday, November 13th, 2007

I finally feel like Chuck has found its groove.
Tonight’s episode of Chuck was really really good, and I’m not just saying that. It had more gravitas than usual, and it strengthened bonds between characters. Maybe this whole big sister/little brother thing just really hits home for me, but I LOVE when Chuck and [...]

More Pictures

Thursday, November 8th, 2007

Here are some more pictures of Chuck. Sorry they aren’t very good ones, but she just really won’t sit still long enough to get a good picture!
Really, you should just come meet her in person.  And if you click on the pictures, you can see the full size.  Sorry they’re blurry.

Meet Chuck

Sunday, November 4th, 2007

This is my cat, Chuck. She is only three months old. I just got her today. If you want to come meet her, just let me know! She is a very cool cat.
Wouldn’t it be cool if my Chuck met this Chuck?
How ’bout it, Zachary Levi? Any time [...]

On Second Thought

Wednesday, October 24th, 2007

Okay, so Chuck was still lots of fun on Monday. But there was something about Monday night’s episode that went deeper for me.
“Chuck Versus The Sizzling Shrimp” was mainly about Chuck helping a Chinese spy because he accidentally helped her brother get kidnapped again (watch the show if you want to know what I’m [...]

Long Time No Talk

Monday, October 22nd, 2007

Dear Diary,
Sorry we haven’t talked in a while. Life has been pretty crazy busy since last Monday, and yet it’s been pretty normal. Things on the lot have been busy as ever, and Friday was especially nuts when we gave tours to 147 people… All at the same time! Ya, it took [...]

Chuckfest

Tuesday, October 16th, 2007

Every Monday night, an event occurs called Chuckfest.
Chuckfest is a simple event, and doesn’t require much pomp or fancy to-do. All you really need is a t.v. tuned to NBC and fans of the new hit show Chuck.
So ever since Chuck started filming on the lot (this would be sometime at the end of summer), [...]

I Still Love Chuck

Tuesday, October 9th, 2007

Some favorite lines from last night’s episode:
“Why are these people sleeping?” “They’re not sleeping, Chuck. They’re dead.” – Chuck, then Sarah
“That sounds great, but my wet suit’s at the dry cleaners.” – Chuck
“You know, if we were really dating, this would be the part where I’d be forced to kiss you.” -Chuck
“That’s what I call [...]

Monday, Monday

Monday, October 1st, 2007

Today I had orientation. B-O-R-I-N-G, or “bore-ientation” for you Office fans. But at least I’ve figured out how and when I accrue vacation/sick pay and benefits. And I got a free WB mug (it’s very nice) and a decent messenger bag with the WB shield on it. I also got a [...]

Check-Up Tuesdays

Tuesday, September 25th, 2007

So, did y’all watch “Chuck” last night? You did? Oh sweet! Wait, what? One of you missed it? Well… that’s pretty inexcusable, but lucky for you…
The series premiere, aka the pilot episode, is going to air again on NBC this Saturday! So check your local listings and watch it! [...]

What Are You Doing Monday Night?

Thursday, September 20th, 2007

You’re watching Chuck on NBC, that’s what you’re doing. Seriously, I’ll be very mad and hurt if you don’t watch at least the first episode.

Walking On Sunshine

Thursday, September 20th, 2007

Starting this week and next week, there are a lot of new shows premiering. I have the difficult task of promoting all the new ones WB is doing (Moonlight, Side Order of Life, Chuck, The Big Bang Theory, The Sarah Connor Chronicles, Big Shots, Pushing Daisies), as well as promoting the returning shows (Cold [...]

Who I Saw Yesterday:
Jim Parsons, Johnny Galecki, Kaley Cuoco, Simon Helberg, Kunal Nayyar, Laurie Metcalf, Orbit and Orion (the two dogs from Pushing Daisies), Zachary Levi, and John Stamos.
Who I Talked To Yesterday:
Zachary Levi and John Stamos.
Yes, that’s right. I had conversations with the cutie from Chuck (new show airing this fall on NBC) [...]
