Back when I had a job, I interviewed Rob Huebel, Craig Robinson, & Rob Corddry. They, however, had other plans for this “interview.” Mainly to give me the GIFT OF SONG.

The obvious choice was, of course, “I Wanna Touch Your Booty.”

OH HEY WRITERS AND EDITORS!

What’s up, friends and fellow wordsmiths? Today I was let go in a massive lay-off at Hollywood.com. It’s a sad day for us all and I will miss those crazy-talented weirdos something fierce.

But this means that I’m available for hire! Now you, too, can have a website filled with wacky wordy witticisms and silly observational humor. I can do sarcasm, knowing, satire, silly, zany, kooky, and straight reporting. I have been known to do on-camera interviews sometimes, red carpet interviews, investigative journalism, on-set cast interviews/visits, and personal essays about my life and related to popular culture. I figured out what the fuck a Honey Boo Boo is and what happens when reality bites back. I also recap Doctor Who, Game of Thrones, Hannibal, and those Bachelor/Bachelorette shows. Sometimes I even make things funny. Especially when it’s about Taylor Swift. One time Anthony Bourdain tweeted at me about this and I fell on the floor at work.

I can be obsessive about awesome things/people. And I love ladies who do comedy! I do not like people who are sexist towards ladies. One Direction fans do not like me. I know every way the world will end in movies. I review concerts! I have lots of weird theories about TV shows that involve aliens.

One time, Danny Boyle called me “very intelligent.” My brother thinks I’m “kind of entertaining.”

So, hey. Feel free to pass this blog post around, tell your friends, or email me at alicia dot lutes at gmail dot com with words of encouragement, job opportunities, random bags of money, or if you want to hire me to write on your television show because I also have BIG DREAMS of that and a few scripts under my belt. If your name is Steven Moffat I WILL move to Wales and become a writer on your fabulous Doctor Who programme if you ask nicely!

Also I’m really bad at biding my time when I don’t have a job because I’ve never done it before. It’s been 3 hours and I’m going nutter butters.

nprmusic:

Laura Marling’s songs dig well beyond the everyday, with each sung in a wise, dusky, brooding voice that always seems in control of its surroundings. The U.K. folksinger’s fourth album, Once I Was an Eagle, takes a remarkable journey over the course of 16 hypnotic, subtly inventive songs.

Stream Once I Was An Eagle now.

Laura Marling is perfect and wonderful and you should all listen to this if you like beautiful things that make you feel and maybe cry and all of the things.

After writing about how great I think Tatiana Maslany is (here), I got a few minutes to chat with her on Friday about her new film, Picture Day, and — natch — Orphan Black. I wrote up the bits about the movie (here), if you’re into that sort of thing.

Unfortunately our conversation about how lame ending sentences with words is had to be cut. But the doo-da-lee-doo is still intact! Click on to understand!

These are a few of my favorite things.

Tonight’s finale of Doctor Who (“The Name of the Doctor”) was epic, wonderful, and a delight for fans of Old and New Who alike. Check out my recap on Hollywood.com: RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW!

Oh, and duh: spoilers, sweetie.

Matt Smith and David Tennant (!!!) a.k.a. 11 and 10 talking about ‘Doctor Who,’ filming the 50th anniversary, and (likely/probably) John Hurt a.k.a (I think) The Valeyard (also/maybe/I theorize the “reconstructed” Doctor Cyber Eleven spoke of in ‘Nightmare in Silver’).

My Hannibal recap: with friends like these, you’ll never need enemies because these friends are totally cool with murdering you to death.

I believe this is what the youths today would call a “GPOY,” yes? Just put a laptop in front of that precious pooch’s face.

I promise I’ll have something of more substance and less work-related in the coming days. In the meantime, check out my recap of Game of Thrones’ newest episode “The Climb,” on Hollywood.com. Complete with pretty much ZERO Miley Cyrus jokes! Huzzah!

It’s a recap of “The Crimson Horror,” Whovians! And even though it was mostly a filler episode (which, what episode wouldn’t be, nestled between ‘Journey to the Center of the Tardis’ and the upcoming return of the Cybermen), it was a right romp. Check out my thoughts and spread your own, here!

I’m not even pretending that this is any sort of unbiased journalism. I adore Tatiana Maslany in ‘Orphan Black’ and if you’re not watching her on it you’re missing out. Read about her, here.
