Irrational fears: everyone’s got ’em. When I give ghost tours, I talk about hauntings and serial killers and people love it but heaven forbid a rat runs by, and they lose their shit!!! Rats are just squirrels with bad haircuts! Rats are a totally irrational fear – leave them alone, and they won’t bother you!…

VO: This week on Guilty Pleasure Wedding Show, a natural blonde in her early-mid-twenties plans the wedding of her dreams to her 5%-less-attractive-than-her-but-inexplicably-wealthy-despite-working-for-his-father fiancee.

Background
So, I posted here that a couple weeks ago I had the opportunity to perform as “background” on a pilot that was shooting in NYC! Here’s what I learned: CONGRATULATIONS! You’ve been cast as WOMAN AT BAR in the exciting pilot production of UNTITLED PILOT TBA !!! You’ve got a call time just after dawn,…
5 Fandom Friday: Hey Teacher…
This topic is near and dear to my heart, since I worked in a school for a year and definitely had delusions of wanting to be a teacher (!!!) for a while, and though that didn’t really pan out, I do have massive respect for these fictional teachers for actually doing it! 1. Miss Mason,…
5 Fandom Friday: Apocalypse NO
The apocalypse is no fun, people. Shit goes down, you gotta have a seriously good crew. This week, we have the opportunity to assemble our apocalypse-proof posse to help us through these trying times. 1. Buffy Summers has survived how many apocalypses now? She’s basically a pro at this. I would have Buffy as my…
5 Fandom Friday: Whhhhhhyyyyyyyyyyyyy
I can’t even. This week we’re talking about fandom a deaths we still can’t even. Oh, the feels. Dare we? Truly, dare we? 1. Hoban Washburne from Firefly sorry if you didn’t see the movie, but this happens, and it’s DREADFUL. Funny story: after seeing the movie, I had pizza at John’s of Bleecker, and…
5 Fandom Friday: You Said It
This week’s 5 Fandom Friday is inspired by la langue de geek, it’s those geeky phrases by which we all identify each other and converse by droppin catchphrases yo! 1. “It’s in the frackin’ ship!” oh man, this more than probably any is my favourite to whip out during parties. Squint one eye shut, grasp…
5 Fandom Friday: Spin Spin Spinoff
I’m not a fan of spinoffs, generally, since Angel was such a disappointment after Buffy. Most of the things I love just happen to wrap up in tidy, complete packages. I can’t imagine, for instance, continuing the story of Les Miserables, or Battlestar Galactica, or Love in the Time of Cholera. So I struggled immensely…
5 Fandom Friday: Not Of This World…
This week’s 5 Fandom Friday features our Five Favourite Aliens! Kick it up to Warp Speed and join me, The Nerdy Girlie, and Super Space Chick and hashtag #5FANDOMFRIDAY and #FANDOM5 with your 5 favourite aliens – self included! 1. THE DOCTOR in all his various incarnations. I think my favourite has to be Tom…
5 Fandom Friday: Favourite Fictional Fathers
In honor of Father’s Day, much as for Mother’s Day, we are listing out favourite fiction fathers this weekend! 1. Bob Belcher from Bob’s Burgers is sort of the “straight man” to his wacky family, but that’s what they need. Also, the burger puns. 2. Giles from Buffy the Vampire Slayer isn’t so much really…
5 Fandom Friday: On The BIG Screen!
Sooo, Hollywood is all about making movies of things. And TV series. And that’s terrible. ART IS ART! Okay? Comics are a medium unto themselves. Who ever suggested making a pilot of the Mona Lisa, or turning Starry Night into a blockbuster? I can’t even wrap my head around how terribly stupid it would be…
5 Fandom Friday: I'm Cool Like…
This week’s prompt is to list fictional characters that you identify with. As much as I wish I was totall awesome like Buffy Summers and Donna Noble, I’m probably just lame like these guys: 1. Batgirl of Burnside probably the reason I keep reading is because despite how she makes me face palm every time…
