Wow. Lionsgate bought Summit and is planning to extend the Twilight movies beyond the books. I doubt they’ll get RPattz and KStew back, though.

By far the most fun movie I’ve seen this summer is Sharktopus. Granted, I really haven’t seen many movies this summer. I’ve mostly just been hanging out with friends, going out to lunch, and fighting with this young-adult paranormal romance I’ve been writing since January (the book is winning the fight, by the way). As [...]

Until last night I didn’t know anything about Justin Bieber except for his haircut. (Pro tip: Having a mop-top hairdo and starting your band name with a bee-sound will equal fan mania such as the world has never seen.) I always get a sense of people rolling their eyes about the Biebs, I guess because [...]

This article from Salon made me remember how much I used to love Val Kilmer. The story is not indepth at all, but the comments are worth a read. If you’ve never seen The Doors, you should definitely see it for his performance as Jim Morrison (he does his own singing, too). He was also [...]

I first found about about my friend Ramon Stoppelenburg when we were both Internet panhandlers in the early part of the decade. My site of course was Dating Amy, his was Let Me Stay for a Day. Let Me Stay was a pretty amazing project–Ramon’s goal was to travel around the world for free and [...]

So my beloved Blockbuster suddenly closed down this week. I’m so bummed. I love going to the video (yes, video) store. I guess my days of spontaneously renting what I want when I want it are over. I signed up for Netflix and I’m really sad. Also, one block over from Blockbuster, Mother Nature’s Natural [...]

So my friends constantly appear dismayed, not to mention disbelieving, that I am the last person in the free world who still goes to Blockbuster. I go for the entertainment and not all of it is on the shelves. As you know I’m doing this mini bucket list of things to accomplish before Mad Men [...]

I was feeling discouraged about writing today, so I randomly wished that director Kevin Smith (Clerks, Chasing Amy, the upcoming Red State) would give me a locker-room style pep talk about my writing. Damned if he didn’t do it. And then, because it’s Kevin Smith:

Huge Hollywood news out of the getting-hard-to-ignore self-publishing realm. So when she couldn’t get a traditional book deal, Amanda Hocking wrote and self-published the Trylle trilogy. It’s a cute, fast-paced paranormal romance about trolls and a seemingly regular teenaged girl who gets called back to become queen of their kingdom. Minnesota twenty-something author Hocking is [...]
