A suprisingly great place to actually get stuff done . . .

. . . The car dealership. Seriously. I’m getting my oil changed (oh the joys of adjusting your errands to LA traffic).

This place really sucks the fun out of life and therefore you’re left with doing stuff you haven’t had the attention span to actually accomplish—like blog posts for work, re-organizing your personal email box, and watching broadcast nightly news. Thank god for Wi-Fi.

Plus, they have ’90s-esque advertisements still hanging out. Keep your COOL, people! Good pun.

I think those designers who created those inspiration library posters handled this one.

Okay, a re-run of Law & Order: Special Victim’s Unit is on. Gotta go, cause I’ve never seen an episode of Law & Order in the entirety of my life and I just spotted Rooney Mara in this one. What?!

Veronica Mars Movie: Back, Back, Back it Up!

Veronica Mars is the epitome of the female I aim to be: courageous, fierce, witty, quick on her feet, and humble enough to call for Backup if she needs it.

I’m sure you’ve heard all the hubbub around the Veronica Mars’ movie Kickstarter Campaign. If you haven’t—well, I hope that rock was comfortable to sleep under.

The whole shebang ends today, as in, today is the last day to pledge to fund the movie. And because I love the whole “Veronica Mars” series so very much (I mean, I am a Nancy Drew zealot, what did you expect?), I think every single one of you should spend a buck and pledge for this project. It will be the best dollar you’ve ever spent, I kid you not.

Can't believe the Veronica Mars Movie is happening. Pop POP.

Am I backer? Well, of course. I’m at the $75 level, so I’ll be getting a buttload of Marshmallow news and swag (aka a script, a DVD of the movie, and a t-shirt). I WISH I could go to the premiere—either in Los Angeles or Austin, but of course, I’m not a rich bitch.

Here’s another reason to love Veronica. She sticks up for the little guys:

Veronica: Well, I want to congratulate you. Shake your hand. Congratulations! You’ve been named the world’s biggest cockroach. This award is given in recognition of your unparalleled lack of decency and humanity. Bravo! You’re gonna die friendless and alone.
Lenny: Hey, everybody knows you’re the biggest —
Veronica: Shut up! If I want you to speak, I’ll wave a snausage over your nose. If you use Mandy again to try to convince yourself that you’re not a loser, I will ruin your life — got it? You got it?

I started re-watching the series with the boyfriend a month or so ago, so all of this movie momentum couldn’t have come at a better time. So effing excited.

And of course, all of this almost matches my uncontainable excitement for Arrested Development coming up on Netflix next month.  I wonder what other of my fave shows will resurrect . . .

I decided to create a video that sort of documented my first time in Italy (and my first time in Europe in general) about halfway through the trip. This vid is solely dedicated to my bestie, who kindly showed me around, and is more of a “this is for you” rather than a I-want-about-a-million-views-on-this-vid-like-right-now. I had a lot of fun editing, and even more fun capturing this footage, which is really only about 10% of my overall trip.

My vacay in its entirety deserves its own post. Not sure when I’ll have time this week to rehash it. But it did happen about a month ago, so what’s another few days to wait to share it?
