I wanted to have this up on Monday, but given that this is our first Thursday without an episode, maybe it's just as well that I saved it a few days.

(The NBC Hannibal tumblr is here for you, and understands your suffering.)

BREAKING NEWS: They weren't kidding: David Bowie has, in fact, been offered a role on the show.

An offer has been made ( Read more... )

@anngeeksout: Exposing the love/hate relationship fans have with beloved fantasy franchises, in which I get quoted on something other than Twilight! (But also Twilight.)

Counter-programming/Secret Life is ready to go, so I'll probably post that pretty early tomorrow. I have Thoughts on Deathly Hallows, but I am tired. I'm definitely going to try ( Read more... )

The unifying theme of the day: interviews.

@cleolinda: Talking to a reporter later today about SOMETHING OTHER THAN TWILIGHT. #excite

@cleolinda: If you can't get someone of actual Potter importance, I am available for comments, interviews, birthdays and bar mitzvahs.

( Wait, you mean there are OTHER topics of conversation? )

...my blogger gave to me: seven mobs a-mobbing ( Read more... )

... my blogger gave to me: IIIIIIIII'M NOT A FAAAAAAAN.

MSNBC: Why doesn’t ‘Twilight’ have a Team Bella?

And there I am, front and center--described as "Cleolinda Jones, a 31-year-old 'Twilight' fan from Birmingham, Ala," in a turn of phrase that elicited great chagrin on Twitter.

( What does it mean to be a fan? )

...my blogger gave to me: two feline chagrins and an article written by the AP. With my "team" preference, as promised.

Team Edward vs. Team Jacob: Which side are you on?Christy did tell me that the article was edited for space--although she did insist on keeping my team preference in, because I told her y'all were looking forward to that--so my ( Read more... )

I just spent an hour on the phone with a reporter who wants to write an article focusing on the more disturbing aspects of New Moon, the ones that parents may not know about, and it was the best game of Horrify the Twilight Noob EVER. It may actually be the longest such game on record. She knew to ask about all the controversial points, but... not ( Read more... )

Mistaken for someone interesting, I have been interviewed at blogcritics.org. (We did it in October, so mentally replace "next month" with "this month.") In what is probably a first, I am actually asked about The Secret Life of Dolls a good bit. Also discussed: The Third Man, nineteenth-century fancrazy, and my newest "hobby."

( Zomg e-book! The ( Read more... )

From joannad: The Russian hackers got someone else. Whatever you do, do not click on the user journal or Shoebox Project links mentioned in the entry. And to secure your own journal, choose a secret question NOW. (ETA: Or not?) Here's what I would advise doing, in terms of setting your question/answer: since we're worried about hackers and not people in ( Read more... )

Oh my God, I meant to post this last week and then... things happened: there's a new HP e-zine, Cauldrons and Chocolate Frogs, and I did an interview with them a few weeks ago. I haven't read over the posted interview, but a quick glance makes me think it's fairly close to the original IM transcript, so, you know, very little chance of anything I ( Read more... )
