See me on TV -- again! I'm on a new episode of "Not Just Another Cable News Show" this Sunday at 7p/9p/midnight/5 AM on CNN HNN a.k.a. HLN. Rumor has it the episode was some kind of last minute slap dash edit, so don't expect tons of me, but I'm on it a tad for sure. And by rumor, I mean the person who put it together.

In other news, I'm sleepy.

And I'm not at liberty to reveal anything about my personal life or the personal lives of anyone I know, so how about I just end with a a not-recent, but rather excellent picture of my dog? Awesome.

This weekend, I may be on a new episode of that TV thingy I've been doing lately.

Details when and if I know them.

Now, for no good reason, here's another picture I took of that parrot in Mexico.

Worst Burglar EVER

From TruTV/The Smoking Gun: Burglar falls through ceilings, breaks bottles and gets trapped. Total gold and gaining fast on Digg.

Shameless promo: I'm on a NEW episode of "Not Just Another Cable News Show" on CNN HNN this Saturday night at 7:00, 9:00, Midnight and 5:00A



Ya, the last two are technically Sunday.

FYI On your cable box, it's often called HLN.

Enjoy your Felber TVganza!

Back from Mexico and Austin madness. Please enjoy all my SXSW posts here and my awesome yawning Mexican parrot snap, below.



UPDATE: I just turned my beautiful nature photography into really stupid stuff for work. Hello tax write-off!

I can totally relate to this kitty -- bad sign?

Me, today, after being primped in the CNN makeup room. Didn't notice the disco ball until just now. I totally shoulda asked Jack Cafferty to dance.

My day job blog is a finalist in the SXSW Web Awards.

You can find out all about it in this post I wrote right here on the aforementioned day job blog.

I am writing my acceptance speech already.

Of course, I've written and rewritten my Academy Awards acceptance speech in my head many many times. Hasn't everyone?

I always wonder if I'd have the guts to open by staring at the Oscar in wonder, stroking it and saying, "Wow. I've always wanted one of these. I... I can't believe I was always too embarrassed to just go and buy one for myself!"

And then when the audience slowly began to collapse in uproarious laughter, I'd open my eyes wide, do a double or triple take, and pretend to look horrified like I just realized that the statuette I had just won was in not, in fact, a sex toy.

Then I'd give a sly smile and say "thank you" and leave. Or then I'd go into thanking my agents, actors and loved ones in a sincere but not annoyingly lengthy way. Haven't decided that part yet. Luckily, I wasn't nominated this year, so I still have time to plan.

My week was so frakkin difficult, but all's well that ends well. Lots of work, exciting possibilities and brill ideas have been percolating. Cool. Anywho, I also blogged my buns off. Here's a super secret link that only brings you to my posts. The other writers are great, and you should read them all, but these days I've neglected this here venue so you should catch your Susie buzz there.

I totally enjoyed creating this Three Stooges animation for the day job. See the dumb criminal story it relates to right here.

I was working the day job when an email came from a friend that a plane had gone down in the Hudson. Called my husband who said he could see it from where he was in the car. Grabbed the camera. Walked one block and got some interesting shots. For all who think living in NJ means being in a far off mysterious land, check out these photos and views.

See my photos here on the dumb blog.

Quite a few other blog and news sites found my photos from Flickr soon after posting. All wrote to me and asked for permission except Gawker. Gothamist was classy: They asked for permission and gave me a credit and a link back to my job. Gawker did not ask for permission and also attributed one or two photos which were not mine, to me. Sloppy and not cool, right? And legal? You tell me.

I'm tired. I only just updated the homepage for the day job, and it's night.

Nighty night.

For more of me on the Von Trapp goats, check out this post on my brother's blog.

For even more of my hilarity, check out my brill posts on the day job blog.

And finally, for a mind-blowing shaved Parmesan action shot, see below.

CNN Gaffe 1.1.09

This morning, while doing a segment on Obama's team "feverishly" working on big stimulus packages, the newscaster stumbled amusingly. Yay for DVR and having my camera on me. It's :05 and totally immature. Enjoy.

My friend Eric made this fabulous commercial parody. Check it out.

Is this Bronx Terrier the new Benji?

This weekend our beloved Stan will be filming a little something for Comedy Central. Surely he will then move on to bigger rolls leading to great fame and fortune. At least, he better, what with the $600 vet bill he racked up yesterday at a routine checkup.

Basically, if he doesn't soon become America's sweetheart we're going to need to go to Congress and beg a pooch bail-out or put a stamp on his fuzzy ass and send him to Obama's daughters. "Hey, here's your new puppy -- wait, why are you crying? "

Today I did a guest post on Word Wenches about being a romance author's daughter. Check it out, why doncha?
