Danger Diary Day 27: Something You Are Wearing

Danger Diary Day 27: Something You Are Wearing. My sweet Crobar winter beanie and favorite wool cable knit turtleneck sweater. (The Crobar is one of my fave bars in London. They do awesome whiskey infusions!)

Danger Diary Day 25: A Stranger

Danger Diary Day 25: A Stranger. Okay. Cheating here again. I met Clare and her fiancé Craig back in early January when they were visiting from the UK. (So they were strangers then!) We hung out a couple of nights w/ them. She’s a teacher and is doing this great project for her students. So please share!

Danger Diary Challenge Day 24: A Light

Danger Diary Day 24: A Light. I got a couple of lights in this picture. Threw in the mini-TARDIS (complete w/ pal Jamie Smart's “Where’s the Doctor” book as backdrop) for fun.

Main light is the ones on the digital recorder. I use this every week to record my podcast COMIC NEWS INSIDER and to conduct interviews for the show when away at conventions. It has brought me joy for many years! Those little lights let me know everything is in working order and the show is a go!

Danger Diary Day 23: An Animal

Danger Diary Day 23: An Animal. Batdog. I saw this dog at New York Comic Con and snapped a quick picture before it scurried off to stop crime. I think it’s the same dog that I’ve seen with a Superman cape on as well.

Oscars 2015 "DVR" Tweeted

• I saw practically nothing this year but still enjoy watching Hollywood fawn all over itself. Whee!
• Opening number was...okay. Love NPH but it wasn't great. Anna Kendrick was adorable as always.
• What's w/ the superhero movie bashing and from Neeson of all people?
• Oh yeah! Dakota Johnson is Don Johnson and Melanie Griffith's daughter!
• FFWD Levine.
• More FFWD.
• EVERYTHING IS AWESOME! YES! BATMAN ON GUITAR!
• FFWD
• NPH is doing alright w/ some just alright jokes. Some zingers though.
• I was wondering why everyone was tweeting about McGraw wearing his cowboy hat. Now I see why. Yikes.
• More like Neil "Package" Harris. Heyo!
• FFWD
• Leto is still going for that "Jesus as a member of OK Go" look.
• Patricia Arquette's speech ending. Hell yeah! You know it's good when you can get Streep standing and screaming for it.
• YES RITA ORA!
• Yay Feast! (Only animated short I saw).
• Uh oh. NPH's jokes are falling short! (thought the Duval adlib was good though).
• Yes Big Hero 6! Loved that flick.
• FFWD...wait, even I'll stop for Idris.
• In Memoriam. Always touching. Doesn't the singer usually sing as they show the pictures?
• Everyone tweeted about Terrence Howard. Oh that's why. He was monologue-ing.
• FFWD
• I know the lockbox thing is going to be some magic trick because NPH is all magician-like but it's getting old.
• Goddamn. That Glory performance. Epic. Moving. Fantastic. Fuck yeah John Legend, Common, and the chorus. Great staging too. #tears
• The Menzel/Travolta bit...She was awesomely funny but whoa...he was all Handsy McCreeperson.
• Common needs to accept all awards.
• Everyone seemed divided as to why they had Gaga do this performance but like most said, she killed it. And genuinely touching moment when Julie Andrews came out all smiles and hugged Gaga.
• Eddie Redmayne's excitement. That is just awesome. Haven't seen Theory of Everything yet but have been wanting to.
• I love Julianne Moore. I'll prob never see that movie but she's just the best.
• Some funny jokes in the lockbox bit but really? That's why it was dragged out?
• Keaton rocks.
• Well said Alejandro González Iñárritu. A big "Take that!" to Sean Penn too!
• NPH was fine but it was uneven. Not sure he'll be invited back. He's great on Tonys, etc but not sure the big dance is for him. Fallon next year?  

Danger Diary Day 22: Something That Makes Your Life Better

Danger Diary Day 22: Something That Makes Your Life Better. Friends. That’s one of my best pals John. I’m cheating a bit here again as it was supposed to be “something”. Ah well. Friends like John make life better. Especially when I’m dealing with rough times. Always there for me. Awesomeness!

Danger Diary Day 21: Something You’ve Held On To For the Last 5 Years

Danger Diary Day 21: Something You’ve Held On To For the Last 5 Years. I’ve held on to these things for way more than 5. Almost 30 years! Top 3 pictures are of a Matroyshka or Russian nesting doll. I bought it in the former USSR back in 1987 when I was on a dance tour. And the bottom 3 pictures are of my tap shoes. I bought them in 1986 (well, mom bought them) and I wore them in a couple of numbers when I danced in Russia. As well as many other musicals/dance recitals for years after. If you look closely by the large letters “JA” (my initials I wrote), you can also see a signature. The signature is by Gregory Hines. One of my idols for years. And that’s him signing them in the last picture when I was privileged enough to dance with him back then. Yes I had long hair and my gf at the time braided it. Haha. I haven’t worn them/tapped since 1999/2000, but they always hang on my door as a reminder. Just as the nesting doll sits on my bookcase to keep watch.
