Super Excited!

Boyfriend is taking me out for an early birthday present tonight. We're going to see Rob Paulsen's Talkin' Toons Podcast live at the Hollywood Improv tonight!!! And you guys know how I feel about Rob Paulsen...

So this is a stupidly short, not-real post because I'm SUPER EXCITED!!!

OhMyGodEverythingAllAtOnce!!!!

You might have noticed that there were no new blog posts from me this week. I have a reason. No, seriously, it's a really good reason this time. I won't go into it now, but I got some cool news, then some more cool news, then some sad news, then some terrifying news, and then there was a flurry of activity and pressure and anxiety and I almost exploded and now we're here. I can't go into details about my week just yet, because I don't know how to end the story yet. But let's just say a whole lotta shit happened all at once. And I don't like that.

So to sum up:
I will get back to normal blogging next week. Also, I may have some very exciting news, or I may have some crippling soul-crushing news. We have to wait and see. Now I'm off to gorge myself on freezer pizza and drink heavily.

Smiles.

Here's a cute picture of Leeloo on the Vegas strip because it makes me happy. Also because the picture I wanted to put here, I am not allowed to due to copyright laws and shit.

Friday Favorites

Alright it's not the most original title, but this is going to be a somewhat phoned-in post. You're welcome.
I had another crazy busy and exhausting week and not too much to show for it, but I'll address that all in Monday's post. Right now, I'm bringing you fun stuff to start your Friday off right. Here's a bunch of cool things I scrounged up on the internet this week when I wasn't working:

-18 Obsolete Words, Which Never Should Have Gone Out of Style 
How could we ever allow a glorious word like pussyvan to go out of style?!

-Patrick Stewart Wins the Internet
But really, when does he not?

-Stephen Colbert Dance Montage
If this doesn't make you laugh, I'm sad for your soul

-Intelligent, Classy, Well-Educated Women Who Say F*ck A Lot
It's like this page was made just for me, you guys!

-My sentiments exactly:

-The Good Men Project
Such a wonderful resource for fathers, brothers, uncles, boyfriends, etc.

And last but certainly not least, the internet went off its collective nut at the announcement that Ben Affleck will be the next Batman. I'll say this: I don't care for him as an actor -I do think he's an amazing director- and I don't think he can carry a superhero movie (Daredevil, anyone?) So, I may or may not see it. But, that all being said...

Via The Nerd Code

Also, I saw #Batfleck getting way more attention on social media than Antoinette Tuff did and that's a shame. Who is Antoinette Tuff, you ask? Oh, she's just an elementary school employee who PREVENTED A MASS SCHOOL SHOOTING, and probably saved hundreds of lives, nbd. Seriously, guys, somebody get this lady a fucking medal!!!  
Antionette Tuff IS the godddamn Batman.  End. Of. Story. 

But, whatever, internet, you do what you want.



One last thing only because this made me guffaw when I saw it:

Thanks Bald Solo!

Exciting News! (UPDATED)

It's been another crazy week! My show opened to a couple of nice reviews (neither of which got all the facts right but that's ok, who needs to know the correct spelling of my name or the correct title of the show anyway?)

Also, my friend Tom wrote a book! The Grand Adventures of Inspector Toadius McGee is a fun young-adult detective story filled with humor, mystery, and even some romance. It's available on Kindle for 99 cents right now and will be available on Nook and iTunes shortly. Hopefully, it will also be in print in August. I'm very proud of him and I really love the book, and I know I'm a little bit biased, him being my friend and all. 
But, I couldn't be more excited for Tom.

So, what are you waiting for? Go buy the book!

UPDATE
7/22/13: I got another positive review! Yay!

In Other News...

I've been absent from my blog quite a lot recently due to my being in a play and (by some amazing timing) I'm also back working a "real job" again for the summer. Boyfriend and I were starting to sweat the money situation big time recently especially since we're moving to L.A. in October. Wait- I didn't mention that yet? Crap. Where is my brain?
Well, long-story-short, Boyfriend and I have grown tired of the grind that is living in NY and we are moving to Los Angeles in October. It's time for a change. Um...yeah...the end.

Anywho, I've been very preoccupied, obviously, but I wanted to write a quick post today because my good ol' buddy Justin (whom you may remember from Vash and Justin) was in an awesome video last week about the current console wars. It's pretty damn brilliant. Please to enjoy:


 
I'll return for regularly scheduled blogging in the next week...hopefully.

A Half-Assed Post

So, this isn't really a post, but since it's the first of the month, I felt I needed to post something. I was supposed to be upstate working on an indie film with zero internet access right now, but lack of inclement weather in the area made it not possible (the film requires snow.) So, now I am at a loss for what to post. I've been sitting here for hours trying to find words to type that someone will want to read. Alas. So, I will give you a friendly reminder that it's only  

20 DAYS UNTIL PAX EAST, BITCHES!!!!!

Are you ready for it?! 
I was born ready.

Sleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep

I've concluded that unemployment playing video games like it's my job is probably not the healthiest of lifestyles. It's currently 8:53am on Saturday. I'm been awake since 2:00PM on Friday. My sleep schedule has been seriously out of whack for several weeks, but now it's getting out of control. Right now, my goal is to just stay awake for at least the next 7 hours and then hopefully a good night sleep will re-set whatever semblance of an internal sleep clock I may have.

Not Quite a Real Post

In case you missed it, White Liars episode 4 "What Dreams May Come" dropped yesterday! I make a brief appearance in this one and get to be all crazy and borderline evil. That bow and arrow is my favorite thing ever. This is my favorite episode we've done, so watch it! Watch it and enjoy! There will be more Mary in the rest of the season.

More White Liars Wednesday: Ep 3

More White Liars!!! My character, Mary has not shown up yet in this season, but maybe you'll get to see her next week...

White Liars Wednesday!

I plan to be at New York Comic Con this weekend, so this might be my last post for the week, and it's not even a real post. This morning, the second episode of White Liars went up and you should watch it.  I'm not in this episode, but I will show up very soon. Enjoy!

Not Really a Post

I'm currently working on my review for Tokyo Jungle, which I started playing last weekend. Until then, please enjoy episode 1 of White Liars season 2. (I'm not in this episode, but I'll show up soon enough.) And, a HUGE thank you to anyone who donated to the Kickstarter fund for this web series. You helped make this episode happen!  Enjoy!

U is for Uncolored Un-truthers



Sourc

Ok, so un-truthers is not really a word, but for all intents and purposes of this blog post, it is now!
I've mentioned before that I'm also an actor. It's what I went to school for, it's what I still enjoy doing, and my dream career would be something incorporating my love of video games/nerdy stuff, writing, and performance (much like my newly-appointed mentor, Felicia Day.) So this is another post about pimping out my friends and their/my creative projects.  Don't feel obligated to give to their Kickstarter campaign just because I'm in it (I know you all love me so much...all 3 of you reading this right now.) We're all starving nerds/artists right now, I get that, but if the video Imma bout to share makes you laugh and/or intrigues you, go check out the webseries' website or YouTube channel or vote for them on Funny or Die and maybe give a dollar if you feel so inclined (seriously, no pressure.) I think it's hilarious, hopefully you will too! Without further ado, I present the season 2 look at White Liars:

L is for Lollygagging with Letters, More Open Letters to the World: Or Phoning it In

Dear Birds Outside My Window,
SHUT UP BEFORE 7AM!!
Thanks.
Dear Work,
I don't feel like doing you today.  Maybe I won't.
So there.

Dear Cranky Old Hag in My Office,
Yes, you. No one likes you.  No one cares about your bat-shit-crazy opinions. And thanks for the backhanded birthday wish yesterday.
P.S You're kind of a bitch, you might want to work on that.

Dear Brain,
Please just stay sane enough to get through this day and then we can go home and play video games until we pass out from exhaustion.

Dear Pottermore,
Why do you make me addicted to you so? I feel like a total prat.

Dear Space Shuttle Enterprise,
I want to watch you travel up the Hudson and get loaded onto a ship by a ginormous crane, it will be so cool!  But I can't because apparently watching history happen doesn't constitute as an office holiday.

Dear Time,
WHY ARE YOU GOING SO SLOWLY?!?!?!?

Dear Co-workers,
If you're not going to actually do any work, will you at least sit at your desk and pretend to work like the rest of us? God forbid I have to ask you a goddamn question and can't find you because you're off doing fuck-all somewhere for 30 minutes. It's fine, I enjoy doing 3 times the work I should have to be doing because you won't, while getting paid the same amount of money you do.

Dear Woman on Hold,
Yes, you are going to sit on hold while I write a poor-excuse-for-a-blog-post until you get tired of holding and hang up, or until you decide to pull your head out of your ass and realize the reason you're calling is not because our system is broken but really because you're an idiot.  Why?  Because you're being a nasty bitch. That's why.  You don't have time to deal with your computer problems that are not my fault but you think I should magically be able to fix and do all of your work for you?  Well, I don't have time to listen to you bitch and moan and act indignant and insult me when you can't follow simple instructions over the phone so I can do my job to determine the actual problem.
I take that back, I figured out the problem: You're a self-absorbed barnacle on the scut of life, it's Friday afternoon, and I no longer give a rat's ass-I am not your punching bag to yell at because you hate yourself. You can call back all you want, but now we know your number and have the power to push the "ignore" button on the phone.  Good day.


I said GOOD DAY

Dear Reader(s),
Yes I realize this isn't really a post.
Sorry.
I promise to do better tomorrow.
