I'm talking to a judge at 11am. Oh, snap. If he...
Shit’s happening.  Colleagues are listening to the podcast and want to be on the show.  Just recorded an interview with a colleague about terrible teeth stories.  Also have a guy I’m gonna interview who’s been on 12 court shows.  Yes, people do the rounds.  I hope you’re listening.  If you’re not, you will. : ) On another note, I’d like to recommend a...

People are feeling the podcast. And I'm feeling...
Listening to Jim Croce on my soft rock channel, just did a shot, and I’m enjoying a can of Simpler Times beer.  I wish Jim were still alive.  :(  My friend Nathan didn’t believe me when I said there was a brand of beer called Simpler Times.  There is.  And it’s wonderful because it has a 5.5 percent alcohol content.  I don’t fuck around. A gal on FB listened to the...

These are the porn "stars" I talk about on my 2nd...
Tried to find more salacious pics, I did and was so grossed out by them I chose this one.  Meet Desi and Ellie Foxx.  Desi found Jesus so she’s making YouTube videos about Jesus.  Not sure what happened to Ellie.  Last I heard, she was working at The Gap and got fired.

That's a wrap. And the host was Suze Orman. She is...
Just got home.  Had a couple of shots of Patron, listening to soft rock, and my small dog is in my lap.  I am wiped.  First, let me say that the “Citizen Steely Dan” album is almost as good as “Aja.”  Yeah, I said it. I could get in a lot of trouble for revealing what I just did but whatever.  We’ll see what happens.  I just got done with a short, 2 1/2 week gig...

Me: Wanna do a shot? Roommate: No. Do you? Me: I...
Oh man. Today was a shit storm like no other.  Tons of guests, little manpower, lots of miscommunication, shitty walkies that didn’t work when they needed to work, dramatic and high maintenance guests, my tits hurt from PMSing… today just sucked for me.  I am drinking and I have an early call time tomorrow and I don’t give a FUUUUccckkk.  And I’m getting hammered at the...

Everyone looks like shit, we're not booked, we...
Holy.   Fucking.   Shit. We shoot in one day.  Our “A” stories, two of them, dropped.  That’s a big deal.  What I’m working on is a kind of talk show.  I say “kind of” because it’s not sensational, we’re not manipulating the truth, we’re not fucking people over.  That’s what talk shows do.  What’s similar is we book a strong story...

I feel like a truck hit me. Five more days...
Two more days until we shoot, 3 days from that we wrap.  It’s a new show so long hours are to be expected.  Everyone I work with is wonderful and the production company and network treat us very well.  They know we’re killing ourselves to make this show great.  It’s nice to work hard and be appreciated.  It hardly happens in daytime anymore.  My only real complaint is I feel fat...

My skin looks like shit. But I got a new phone...
Sleep deprivation, too much caffeine, and exposure to the non-elements (office lighting and air conditioning) make for a bad complexion.  When you’re at the tail end of the run of the show, everyone’s skin looks like shit.  I got a cool thing in the mail, though!  I ordered a handset for my cell phone from Amazon.  You can buy it for $60 at Fred Siegel or you can buy it for $29.97 on...

Death and Television: The show must go on.
I lost the light of my life at 2am on 9/4/11.  Her name was Rena Mae, she was my grandmother and my yellow rose of Texas.  Full of life, when she was a kid she was known as the “hell cat” of the neighborhood in Ft. Worth and the first of her three sisters to leave Texas to find her way in the world.  I was a lot like her.  We understood each other.  The loss I feel… I don’t...

Have you ever watched Judge Mathis? Yeah, me...
I’m working with someone who used to work on Judge Mathis.  Really cool dude, super fun, great colleague.  I just love it when he tells Mathis stories because it’s the only way I’d know anything about that show since I never watch it and neither does anyone else.  That’s Judge Mathis.  I know, right?  I wouldn’t know who he was if someone didn’t show me a...

We're 4 days out from taping and people are losing...
Here’s the deal… the show I’m on right now is going to be genius.  I love the talent more than words can say.  I haven’t met the talent yet, I just happen to be a HUGE fan.  Like, rabid.  It’s a new show.  I’m so stoked to be working on it and rarely am I this excited about a show.  I can’t tell you what it is until I wrap because we all sign NDA’s,...

THIS SONG IS MY JAM.
  It also describes my love life, which is very active.  Gotta pat myself on the back for that one.  But none of it is real, ifyaknowwhati’msayin’.

Well, that was embarrassing.
I’m awake. I’m about to do the mediocre, half assed workout I do when I’m working 14 hour days.  It’s not great but at least I’m doing something.  My goal today is to watch my posture while pre-interviewing people.  Yesterday I found myself crouched in my shitty office chair like Gollum.  My other goal is to stay away from the Cheez-It Chex Mix stuff. I’d like...

Everyone has left. I am the last woman standing.
It’s almost like I’m at home only I’m listening to Pandora in an echo-y office and I’m dining on Chex Mix.  It’s actually better than chex mix because it’s got Cheez-Its in it.  It’s made by the people who make Cheez-Its.  They’re geniuses.
