Quote of the day

"I still feel more comfortable around drag performers than indie
rock dudes."

"It's not me...

It's totally you."

I just got a rejection letter for my latest writing submission.

It was a nice one. He used my name, and thanked me for taking the time to submit.

He even offered me his "best regards".

I love that.

So many snacks, so little time

DC Snacks*Fresh snacks for a hungry city.

The asterisk is part of the plan, no doubt.

Any place you can buy Beavis & Butthead Do America and a Jones FuFu Berry Soda and have it delivered is...well, a place. Indeed.

The hockey, yes, it is good.

SXSW

I'm not going to SXSW Interactive, which I'm very bummed about, but I find myself on the website quite a bit, because there's just so much interesting information there. (The music and  film conferences take place during the same timeframe, so Austin is definitely the place to be from March 10 - 19.)

Just listed today, the finalists for the web awards at interactive are full of great options for time-wasting, even with a little bit of useful information thrown in here and there.

Blogher also got a shout-out on the festival's website, for helping to raise the number of female panelists 50 percent this year, to 120. I'm already excited to be a part of the site, and it's cool to see us taking part in other fun, high-profile events. Must. Go. Next. Year.
