If you ever loved me, or liked me, or COMMed something I said, or smooched me at an f2f, or just know what it means to miss New Orleans, then please vote for Historic Green to win $5000. We have a narrow lead and there are only three days left to vote. I promise we will use the money wisely to help the Lower Ninth Ward rebuild and I will post pictures from my trip to New Orleans.

I AM SHAMELESS. VOTE.

I will even bribe you by promising to answer (privately if necessary) any one question you feel like asking me.

You get bonus points (and questions, if you like) for reposting and/or Tweeting.

You can see pictures volunteers and work from last year here: [link]

THANK YOU!

Okay, y'all, last big push. Like an NPR fund drive, this will soon be over. I thank you for your patience and your votes.

Note - I have learned that it is THREE VOTES PER EMAIL ADDRESS. *ahem* Never mind, voting from multiple accounts is prohibited in the ToS.

Historic Green needs your help asap! We have ONE day to attain the most votes on Brighter Planet in order to receive a $5000 Grant for our upcoming Spring Greening event in New Orleans! The vote is very close. Help us win! This is an extremely easy way to help out with an event that provides exciting volunteer opportunities in the Lower 9th Ward! Please take 3-to-5minutes to register and vote three times using the information below. Thanks for your help – we can’t do it without you!

WE DID IT!!! HISTORIC GREEN GOT THE $5000 GRANT! And I really mean we, because of all my friends, Buffistas were the most diligent about reposting and boosting the signal. From the bottom of my heart, I thank you, my fellow volunteers thank you, and the Lower Ninth Ward thanks you.

If anyone wants a Mac OS X Widget that counts down the time 'til spring starts (for the Northern Hemisphere), lemme know in Natter, Bitches, etc. or email me to profile address....

I've posted over at MTV Books Blog today: [link]

(Since Romancing the Blog is currently on hiatus.)

Hi Buffistas! I moved to Belgium just over a month ago. My husband and I are doing well, and our little one is cooking nicely. Three weeks until I am considered full term, and 6 weeks until my April 5th due date! As of today's ultrasound, she weighs in at 5.2 pounds and measures about 16 inches.

I suck at keeping up around here, but if anyone wants to keep tabs on me, I have a blog that I update every few days: An American Mama in Belgium. Today's post has ultrasound pictures!

SF-istas! Please come see me in my first play in seven years: DeathPlay, presented by the Thunderbird Theatre Group. The Thunderbirds put on hilarious original comedies that are very Buffista-friendly, and I'm excited to be a part of one. You can buy tickets at Brown Paper Tickets. If you act fast, you may be able to snag one of a few $11 tickets by using the code "Punch." Act fast anyway, since Thunderbird shows sell out!

I'm planning a meet and greet for Nicholas Brendon March 13 in Hollywood! The nitty-gritty:

WHEN: March 13, around 10:30 p.m., after that night's performance of his latest play, Why Torture Is Wrong, and the People Who Love Them.

MORE DETAILS: Stop by NickBrendon.com.

So I just received my shirts from the TeeFury Grab Bag, and one of them is an American Idol "Pants on the Ground" shirt. I don't know if anybody still cares about one's pants being on the ground anymore, but I know that at some point, people here DID care, so does anyone want a men's M shirt?
