The fifth anniversary of the day the towers fell has come and gone. I had thought about posting my pictures of the towers, but they’re part of my memories and the media has already been saturated with those images. I remember on one of my trips standing next to one of the towers and looking…

On the SciFi network’s website there are now new “webisodes” of BSG that are being released every Tuesday and Thursday at midnight up until the new season begins. If you are not caught up on the show, restrain yourself from going there; too much is given away in a single shot and the latest “webisode”…

Several of you are Deadwood fans who also happen to be writers. So, being that I’m having “a day” that defies all humor, I’m throwing out my big pressing Deadwood question: What was the purpose/role of the acting troupe in this last season?

We’re back from our trip and let me be one of the many to say that home is one of the nicest places to travel to. Thanks to an exchange of “the last season of Deadwood for babysitting our cats” I came home to two happy, fluffy, indifferent bundles of “oh, it’s you people.” April,…

Tomorrow we head out to Atlanta and with all trips I feel like I’ve got a million things I need to do – important things like wash the towels, do the dishes, sweep… That’s how I prepare for a trip by tidying everything up to death. Somewhere in there I’ll get packed. The actual packing…

(Psst Jonathan, I’ll be sending you the…

Since I’m on a roll about all things nerd, I’m going to go back to the t-shirt collection. My Sci-Fi t-shirts are not only great for laundry day, but they also serve as my press pass into the not-so-hidden-don’t-you-wish-it-were geek underbelly. Once I know I’m going to hit one of those spots, I whip out…

Mess Rule: Don’t read anything I write before noon of any given day. In fact, don’t read this for 5 more minutes.

I mentioned yesterday that I have a “Stargate” t-shrt, which was a promotional shirt for the movie. The only reason I have the shirt is a friend of mine passed it down thinking, “It’s science fiction, Beth’s a nerd, I’ll give it to her!” True, I’m a huge nerd and if goaded can giggle and…

I’ve had to come to terms with the fact that I will never be cool. Try as I might, I’ll never be a Kerouac clone and no one will ever read On the Road with Beth unless I threaten my friends, prop their eyelids open with toothpicks and hold their pets hostage. Of course, when…
