Does this make my ass look fat?

Does this make my ass look fat?

The secret is contouring, darlings.

In totally unrelated news, I started a new job last week (Yay! CeleBitchy is one of the very top gossip blogs in the world!) currently on the very leanest kind of part-time because my computer is so crashy and I’m so crushed for time. At last count I was actually working SEVEN part-time jobs, all to get enough money for a laptop, since some of the funding I was counting on to make that happen has failed to materialize. It’s only till the end of the month, but the odds that I will snap and commit recreational homicide are increasing by the day, particularly in relation to those who text me more than five times per day, or telephone me more than twice per day or at all before nine in the morning.

In related news, there are some consolations. Here’s a picture from the inaugural (and highly respectful) post I did for CeleBitchy, Prince Harry remembers on the 5th of November.

Shebeen Club Meeting Monday: Intro to the Federation of BC Writers

Posted on by

raincoaster logo yo!This month we’ve moved our meeting to Monday, September 15th instead of Tuesday and across the street so that we can have the brand-new Shebeen all to ourselves! We’ll play host to Sylvia Taylor, President of the Federation of BC Writers, who will give us an overview of the Fed and what it can do for its writers. Some of you will remember Sylvia from a our June meeting, when she spoke on memoir writing and editing.

Welcome to all the first-time Shebeeners! Our meetings are a convivial gathering of literary types of all sorts: editors, writers, publishers, booksellers, and students as well. All are welcome.

Go into the Irish Heather GastroPub, then through the back door to The Shebeen Whisky House, 212 Carrall Street in Gastown. If you get lost, staff can show you the way. Note that this is across the street from the old location.

Your $15 admission includes a great dinner of bangers and mash or vegetarian pasta from the kitchen of the Irish Heather gastropub, plus one glass of wine or pint of beer or pop.

Meet and Greet 7-7:30

Listen and Learn 7:30-8

Signups, networking, and complaining about agents 8-9!

It was a Shebeen Club night and you’re lucky I can type at all at this point, but tonight you’re particularly fortunate in that I type to direct you over to Miss604‘s blog, where she has revealed many secrets about raincoaster. And now I sign off, before I pass out.

UPDATE: Wow, I totally tag spam when I’ve had too much to drink!

Operation Global Media Domination: the Lolebrity Situation

Posted on by

TIA Yay! My baby took her first unassisted steps today.

Well, okay, I may have had an assist in there, but she got the goal all by her own self. I didn’t even notice till the second Gawker thread had 84 comments on it.

Previously, she’d been held up by my daily links from Ayyyy and the occasional act of charity from AgentBedhead, but this past week she’s gotten two links from CelebuWreck without my even begging or linkbaiting for them, so she’s starting to toddle along nicely for a baby, or so I thought.

Until today.

Until she hit a new high of 1662 1718 and counting, with 12.55 hours left in the day, thanks to the fact that (I think) Nick Denton doesn’t yet know I own lolebrity.

I’m unsure whether it’s good to get a ton of hits just before I stick ads on it, thus inflating my going rate, or get them just after, thus assuring the ad company and clients of my worth; do I feel guilty or clever? Ah, this is always my dilemma!

Also: Double Gawker Media Whammy! direct link from Defamer today, stuck waaay down at the bottom of the post and good for exactly zero hits so far. I didn’t even link to the NYT, for which I got the “via”; I linked to Valleywag. Is there a Gawker internal spat going on that I don’t know about? I GOT on Facebook; what more do I have to do to get in the goddam fucking loop? Eh? I ask yez.

Raincoaster OfVancouver is on Facebook

I know, I know, I’ve blogged about Facebook warning you all about it, and what I said is true.

But.

I talked Brian Atene into signing up on FB and it would look pretty stupid if I didn’t do it myself, eh? So, there I am.

Friend me. Operation Global Media Domination needs you.

And promise not to tell Lisanti that I came when I saw the add. Deal?
