Nice Girls Talk

What is a “typical” week like for a NiceGirl? If it’s anything like my past week it was filled with getting over a nasty head cold brought on by my attendance at San Diego’s Comic Con, catching up on endless hours of shows that I recorded while I was gone, getting tons of articles written for the panels for which …

I celebrated my birthday on July 27th and it was a milestone birthday. As I was reflecting on my life so far, I started to remember all the great television shows I used to watch. Take a trip into the past a little with me, and see how much you remember. I was born at a time when televisions were …

With TCAs underway this week, I’ve been abuzz with all of the news about upcoming shows. Glued to our Twitter followers, I’m slowly preparing myself for tomorrow’s Fox presentations. Now, after the Winter TCA for Fox, I’m anticipating some highs and lows (the schedule has me both excited and slightly worried about how to pass some time.) But, that’s what …

Where did your most treasured friendship form? In elementary school? At summer camp? In college? For me, my longest running friendship was formed in elementary school during the first week of first grade. My best friend for over 35 years now still lives in my small hometown near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania with her husband and 2 children. We don’t see each …

I’m catching up on the TV I missed while getting ready for Comic Con, attending Comic Con, going to my grandfather’s funeral, recovering from Comic Con…my DVR was bursting with new episodes of shows like Merlin, Warehouse 13, Leverage, The Closer, Hung, True Blood, and Barefoot Contessa. Yes, Ina Garten is my hero, why do you ask? As I cozied …

The other Nice Girls have weighed in on their Comic Con experiences this year, so now it’s my turn. It’s always a celebration when you are among people who enjoy the same things you do; watch the same shows, and squee over the same talent as you. That’s the atmosphere at Comic Con – celebration. People come dressed in full …

Like Rueben, I managed to come back from Comic Con with some sort of malaise. But besides that, this Comic Con was a blast. Let it never be said that spending days with friends from near and far will be anything but fun. I was fortunate enough for one friend of mine from Florida to make it this year, plus …

I arrived home from this year’s Comic Con on Sunday night, exhausted from 5 incredible days of programs (and a case of “concrud” – otherwise known as a head cold from the constant back-and-forth between the air conditioning of the buildings and the heat of San Diego), sharing fun experiences with friends and working my butt off taking notes for …

I’m on a plane right now as another Comic Con has come and gone. I’m tired, sore, and haven’t eaten a real meal in days. Ask anyone who’s been to Comic Con and they’ll tell you that’s how you know you had a good time. We have a lot of interviews and show-specific articles coming your way over the next …

As everyone can see, I’ve had sort of a busy week for the site, but it’s been one where I can’t really get a handle on what to post this week before I leave for Comic Con. I originally wanted to post the random bits from going to see Ruby and the Rockits, but that got side-tracked when I had …
