What magazines do you subscribe to, and why?
I subscribe to <i>Entertainment Weekly</i> because it is actually commentary about all forms of entertainment, minus the tabloid crap. HOWEVER - I buy all the tabloids at the check-out. Somehow by NOT subscribing to them, I feel less dirty.
First I had the first day of school for my oldest, then a trip to the hospital with my youngest. Then a hurt dog and then a trip out of town. I missed my brush with Fame and Vox last week! I had one of my questions used and I didn't even get to answer it. That's my life: A day late and a dollar short.
I have this addiction to buying calendars. I even re-add information in them when they're brand new. These are all of the ones I've bought this year to demonstrate my severe issue. And there is one that stays on my desk at work NOT included in this shot. I think I need an intervention.
What is your favorite cover song?
Question submitted by Ray.
There is a cover of All Along the Watchtower that the Dave Matthews Band did years ago that Trey Anastasio (from Phish) and John Popper (from Blues Traveler) joined in on. I traded for it back when I used to trade live sets from jam bands. It was such a score as it was soundboard quality. I'm sure I could download it off iTunes nowadays but there was something about listening to it on a tape I had been mailed and felt lucky to score that made it that much more awesome.
NikkiZ likes to do this pouty/whiney/fussy thing when she gets really tired. Nothing makes her happy and it gets incredibly entertaining. Well, entertaining if you're completely evil parents who like to laugh at your daughter's agony.
MrZ was trying to videotape NikkiZ's new fake-pout thing she's been testing out. It ended up being funny for entirely different reasons.
If you could be on any reality TV show, which one would you pick and why?
Man. I would LOVE to be on The Amazing Race with my husband. Now, I acknowledge we'd get booted the first episode because I have ZERO sense of direction (yes, I make maps for a living) and am afraid of heights, but the traveling around the world? Would be SO COOL.
If you could get someone in your life to start a blog, who would it be and why?
I would love my Dad and brother to start a blog because they are both so witty and insightful and entertaining and smart and I would love to have archives of their thoughts. But, I dont think either one of them would be all that interested. Where they enjoy mine, that's about as far as they'll go.
I do my workshop today at Blogher. I wish I had a bunch of invites to Vox to hand out since I'll be talking about it, but I've been saving the three I have for people who seem interested.
