Our New Project: Strong Sense of Place
My new project is taking all of my attention right now, and I'd love for you to join me for new adventures! It's called Strong...

So… I’m having, like, the worst day at work EVER.
EVER.
During an afternoon browse through my favorite blogs, I took a trip over to Pop Candy – the best pop culture/entertainment blog – to cheer myself up, and I saw this:
The adorable and cool and smart and Converse-clad Whitney Matheson, the genius behind Pop Candy, is taking trading cards to Comic-Con this year, and I’ve been immortalized on one of them. I am beyond the beyond with giddiness. I’m thismuchcloser to actually becoming a comic book superhero. Right on!
And look how cutie Whitney is in her comic book state:
This is not the first time Whitney and I put our black hair and Converse together. Here we are making our mean faces at a meet-up in Austin in 2009. It kinda seems like with our shared taste in scowls, footwear, and hairstyle, we were meant to be buddies, at least online. Thanks, Whitney!
If you’re not reading Pop Candy, you really should subscribe. It’s fun entertainment news – movies, TV, books, comics – with lots of personality, no mean snarkiness. It’s all happiness and rainbows and unicorns and Whitney goodness. And if any of you are going to Comic-Con, say hi to Whitney and get your hands on one of my trading cards!

I’ve got tears of happiness in my eyes reading about your trading card. That is so cool!
Tom, you are so sweet. Thanks for sharing in my excitement!
That is adorable!!
Thanks, Patty! I’m pretty tickled by the whole thing.
Is it ok that I just made your trading card my profile pic on FB? I love your motto!
That’s totally fun, Elizabeth! Neato.
I’m having a pretty crappy day myself. I’d settle for one of your trading cards to pump me up, I don’t even need one of myself. Luckily you posted it here!
Sorry to welcome you to the bad day club. Hope tomorrow is way better!
So AWESOME! I love the Chucks in the corner, too!
Whitney almost always wears black Chucks. She’s pretty cute — and super fun.
That is amazing!! I’m working a new blog site and that is going on the mainpage. I do occasionally need reminders not to cheat. **coughcough**
I am sorry you had a bad day, cherie. I hope today is better.
Thanks, Jenny! I can’t wait to see your blog.
How’s the Whole30 going?!
See you tomorrow?
Congrats on being a card! So cool! Yours is a favorite of mine!
Thank you, sweet talker.
Did you get your cards from whitney yet? I got mine…they rule!
I didn’t get them yet – maybe tomorrow. Can’t wait to see them! Does this mean we’re immortal?!
Mel, this is just so cool! You have to help us out here who live far away, figure out how to get our hands on them! I would love to have one in my back pocket for strength on my bad days!
Whitney said she’s going to send me some, so maybe if there are enough, I can do a give-away… or at the very least, scan it so you can DIY a card on your end. I’ll let you know… and I’m totally flattered that you want one. So sweet!
This is so adorable. 🙂
Thank you! I’m excited to see that superhero-y version of myself!
Couldn’t have happened to a more awesome chick. Congratulations, Mel.
You are super nice to say that! My set of cards arrived in the mail — so cute!
