MOVING DAY!!



I'm finally jumping the shark, and heading over to Tumblr.

You can find me at:
Verena Says (version 2.0)

While Tumblr isn't as pretty as it is over here, I think I can genuinely say that I like it better, and bonus points for you folk -- I'll most definitely update it more. Whether said updates will be of any quality, well, that's up for debate. And hey, it's a blog. Quality, Schmality.

So, goodbye. (For now. I'm commitment phobic - with blogs at least - so I'm not promising anything.)

PS. I may have completely mis-used the term "Jump the Shark" here, but I found it a highly relevant term, and it also makes me sound all media knowlegeable, so there.)

Radio Is Alive And Kicking! And I'm On It!


Following the unprecedented success of my "Tan Is The New Tacky" post, (it was the 4th most read blog on the site, following three about the primaries), I received a message (on Facebook, no less) from CFBR TalkNews Radio producer. (Yes, radio still exists.) I was asked to do a live (LIVE!) call in interview only a few hours later. So, this morning, at 11:30AM EST, I was bantering back and forth with a Mr. Leslie Roberts, on his eponymous show about the pros, cons, and what the hells? of tanning.

So, for your listening pleasure, my (old) media debut.

And the moral of the story is: Video did NOT kill the radio star. But the internet's definitely working on it.

PS. Seriously, listen to it. I sound like a huge dork. And I call Cameron Diaz, Carmen. But, besides that, at least one day, you'll be able to say you knew me way back when people still went on radio shows.

It's Official!

I'm a writer.

Why now, you ask? Well, because I'm getting paid. Not permanently, or consistently by any means. But I'm getting paid. In one installment. For one assignment, but a paycheck is a paycheck is a paycheck. Particularly when it's a fat one!

I also think it's official because I officially now keep writer hours, staying up till ridiculous times, tearing my hair in frustration. Who knew this was so fun?

Also, I can't believe it's been almost a month since I last updated. That's embarrassing. I really think I need to try Tumblr. I don't know why, but it seems like it would really facilitate constant posting.

The End.
