I'M BACK. The Nerdist show was super duper very awesomely cool- dang funny stand-up from all the guys, plus the lady who plays GLaDOS in Portal was there with her husband. I don't play the game but I've heard all the great things about it and in any case they were charming folks. Really the only downside to the evening was that at some point I misplaced my lovely sonic screwdriver. I'm really not sure where it got to between the end of the show and this morning, but anyway, of all the things that could've gotten lost, I'm relieved that was it.
Also other things happened, like me ASKING A QUEMMENT. I stood before Chris Hardwick and Matt Mira and Jonah Ray and spoke into a microphone and they (well, mostly Chris since the question part was directed at him) spoke back! And it was recorded! So, if you want to know what I sound like when I'm freaking out but doing my best to keep a lid on it, listen to the DC podcast when it's posted on
Nerdist (ETA: assuming they don't edit it out, which isn't impossible they didn't- also, is that what I sound like?! Super weird). I'm the one mangling the
Thrilling Adventure Hour catchphrase "The nation's favorite new-time podcast in the style of old-time radio." *sigh*
And now I shall rest. With the holidays and then the Nerdist show the last few weeks have been nuts, and I could use a little break. My apartment needs a good cleaning, my fic needs a good writing, etc, etc.
