Virginia Heffernan has a hot voice | Football, Baby
![]() |
She has a hot voice. She's 37. Think she's single? She's not bad looking. She has a Harvard Ph.D. (!!!)
Anyway, you know what she's talking about if you know why I'm taking time out of our holiest of holy days to post about it. She and her New York Times blog have been up, down, over, and under the Lonelygirl15 hoax | conspiracy | drama | fake drama | debate for a while, though we're still waiting for more of those vaunted emails she claims to have.
Oh, and the daughter of the dude who registered that trademark we talked about yesterday? She just happens to run the Young Writers' Workshop in L.A. (and volunteers for SUMMER CAMPS IN L.A. at the Painted Turtle Camp, affiliated with Paul Newman's Hole In The Wall Gang foundation).
So, here's my current stance on the story.
Bree goes to USC, meets Daniel, decides to put on the world with her elaborate hoax.
Hoax starts to get out of hand, and after receiving email from viewer about the selling of Lonelygirl15 merchandise (four days to be exact), the trademark application is filed. Read about that here, though it's the lg15.com forum so... don't waste your time.) Bree knows her friend Lisa (whom she works with either at the Young Storytellers Foundation or at Painted Turtle Camp) has a father who's an attorney, and asks her to ask him to protect her service mark.
So the application is filed, though since it has nothing to do with his work, he uses his home address on the application.
I think it all makes perfect sense.
Football picks for the day:
Ohio 35 Tennessee-Martian 7
Ohio State 42 NIU 24
Notre Dame 35 Ga Tech 14

Penn State 21 Akron 17

A thought re the cookie video:
10, 12, 06. Why include the preceding 0 in 06 unless it's a date?

That's... amazing. Great eye. I'm a little bummed at myself for missing it.

Geez, I figured those Tennessee Martians were better at football than that ;)
