    Happy NaNoWriMo! Naturally, my body has decided to get sick at the most inopportune time, but that doesn’t mean that I’m not gonna bust my ass this month for NaNoWriMo. I’m at a pretty decent word count for my first day (1698), and I’m still excited about the project I’m doing, which is more than…

    on rotation

    Tomorrow is Halloween! This is seriously my favorite holiday (followed pretty closely by Thanksgiving), and so naturally, I’m going to restart “on rotation” with a very short list of the songs I’d pick for my hypothetical Halloween party. Like … I have a strangely large and eclectic collection of songs that are perfect for this,…

    I’m going to try and do NaNoWriMo again this year (add me, jujujuniper, if you want any more accountabilibuddies!), and honestly? I may be able to win … I have been spending a lot of time coming up with the plot and characters for my project, and the level of excitement I have for it…

  • 30-Day Arrested Development Challenge, Day 27: Favorite Fan Art

    I feel like I could have multiple parts to this since there is just a ridiculous amount of Arrested Development fan art out there, but I’m going to be conservative about it and go with a single one. But damn, there are some talented artists out there. Enjoy!

    I’ve gone over, like, seven different drafts of this post and haven’t seemed to be able to word it in a way that sounds cohesive. In one version, I sounded incredibly whiny, albeit unintentionally so, and in another, I could not manage to maintain a thought for any longer than a sentence or two. So…

  • 30-Day Arrested Development Challenge, Day 16: Least Favorite Episode

    I’m going to make this quick because … well, I don’t have a lot to say about this episode. Season Five had a lot of stinkers and honestly, I could pick any one of them and be fairly accurate that they were the worst of the bunch, but they wouldn’t be my least favorite. That…

  • 30-Day Arrested Development Challenge, Day 7: Least Favorite Guest Star

    Similar to the whole Charlize Theron/Rita Leeds thing from two days ago, I love Martin Short (OMG, if you haven’t watched Only Murders in the Building, do it), but his turn as Uncle Jack Dorso in “Ready, Aim, Marry Me” is just … gross. First off, Martin Short, an able-bodied man, is playing a disabled…

  • 30-Day Arrested Development Challenge, Day 6: Favorite Guest Star

    I feel like Justine Bateman’s Nellie is my favorite guest star because of how apropos and meta her casting was, just a pristine example of the type of comedy that Arrested Development was known for: obviously she’s actually Jason Bateman’s IRL sister (although not Michael Bluth’s), and she starred in a 1980s sitcom, Family Ties…

  • 30-Day Arrested Development Challenge, Day 5: Least Favorite Recurring Character

    Okay, so hear me out: I love Charlize Theron. One of my favorite movies of all time is Mad Max: Fury Road, and I loved her in The Old Guard, The Fast and the Furious franchise, and Young Adult. But I really hate Rita Leeds. At the beginning of her run on Arrested Development, I…

  • 30-Day Arrested Development Challenge, Day 4: Favorite Recurring Character

    In what is quite possibly the most fitting thing ever, my favorite recurring character just happens to be Liza Minnelli’s Lucille Austero (aka Lucille 2). First of all, can I just say how absolutely lovely Liza looks right here? That color is just divine on her. Anyway, I loved the character of Lucille 2 from…
