It’s a lot of hard work to do a weekly TV show. It’s certainly not fun.
As far as television is concerned, I’m just not interested in working on a series. Why should I settle for being someone’s second banana? And that weekly grind is unrewarding and too demanding.
I wrote for a weekly magazine and then edited a literary magazine, but I did not really feel comfortable with the profession of journalism itself.
I think I’ve really stepped outside the box in the way I try to train, eat, hydrate, the cognitive brain games I play on a daily or weekly basis to try to build up some durability within my body, within my brain, to be able to go out there and play at a high level at age 38.
Television viewing has become for me a completely different experience, because I don’t watch shows on a weekly basis. I wait until the DVD or I TiVo everything and wait until the end of a season and watch it all over a weekend. For me that’s a really satisfying experience, like reading a book.
I’m my own doctor. I have a group of people who call me up on a weekly basis. I’m a ‘doctor’ without a license.
What I find remarkable is that so much of the 18th century literature that I read is more accessible than reading your alternative weekly from ten years ago. People really aspired to write clearly.
Even the alternative weekly newspapers, traditionally a bastion of progressive thought and analysis, have been bought by a monopoly franchise and made a predictable shift to the right in their coverage of local news.
A ‘social media fast’ is a fast, I suppose like any other. In this case, you’re simply giving up whether it be a device or a particular type of social media site. And I do this at least once weekly.
I want ‘The Lady’ magazine to be restored to its traditional place in the pantheon of weekly magazines.
I had an instinctive feeling that the people who have little or no school training should have something coming into their homes weekly which dealt with their problems in a simple, helpful way… so I wrote in a plain, common-sense way on the things that concerned our people.
I draw a weekly comic strip called Life in Hell, which is syndicated in about 250 newspapers. That’s what I did before The Simpsons, and what I plan to do for the rest of my life.
I did a couple of sketch shows with Mike Palin and Terry Jones… and then I got hired by Granada to do a weekly topical show.
When I was in high school, I was writing a lot. I dealt with my high school angst by writing short plays and short films. I was obsessed with reading ‘Entertainment Weekly’ and ‘Premiere’ and ‘Movieline’ and all those magazines.
‘Touched by an Angel’ started my calling to be the messenger, and on a weekly basis, I was able to deliver the message of God’s love to the world.
I pretty much make time for that weekly manicure.
The hardest thing about being a manga-ka is that it’s a weekly thing.
One of my personal indulgences is getting a weekly massage – it helps to re-align my body. I usually feel so much less tense after I’ve gotten rid of some knots in my shoulders and back.
In Fargo, they say, well, that’s a job. How well do you get paid? For example, for this book I was written about in Entertainment Weekly, and it was kind of cool because my mom asked me if Entertainment Weekly was a magazine or a newspaper.
Stories are hard. I have friends who knock out stories on a weekly or monthly basis, like they’re running on medicinal-strength Updike. But for me a story is as daunting a prospect as a novel.
CBS garners a predominately older white audience, and by having a show like ‘Superior Donuts’ on their weekly programming, it distorts what people are used to seeing in a positive way. It’s a show I think was necessary.
Writing used to be my hobby, but now that it’s my job, I have no hobby – except watching TV and laying around the pool reading ‘U.S. Weekly.’ I have tried many hobbies, such as knitting, Pilates, ballet, yoga, and guitar, but none of them have taken.
It’s not uncommon for some Khmer boxers to fight with dangerous frequency, sometimes as often as weekly or bi-weekly, getting up to three hundred or more fights in a career, with the length of a career varying from fighter to fighter, some engaging in bouts far past their prime.
Don’t focus on weekly or monthly returns.
I do my laundry on a weekly basis.
At around 50 employees, you get to the point where you can’t see what’s going on all the time. So you start to have weekly check-ins, and you have days that go by without knowing exactly what’s going on.
I taught my son to read with tabloids. We would sit to read the ‘Weekly World News’ together.
One cool thing is because Mom and Dad aren’t into the Hollywood scene, they don’t read ‘US Weekly’ or anything like that. They give me space. They don’t care. They just want all of their children to be doing something that they love to do and be able to pay their insurance.
Sabbath – a weekly festival having its origin in the fact that God made the world in six days and was arrested on the seventh.
Good old-fashioned, puritanical work guilt is, for me, a better colleague than any Muse. If I reach my weekly word target by Friday afternoon, then the weekend is guilt-free.
In the fall of 1996, I sat inside weekly strategy meetings of conservative activists as part of research for my book, ‘Gang of Five,’ chronicling the rise of the baby-boomer Right.
Priyadarshan asked me during the shooting of ‘Maalamaal Weekly’ ‘where are you from, Kerala or Tamil Nadu?’ I told him ‘I am a Malayali just like you.’
I’ve been running my own record label and doing my weekly radio shows, but people don’t see the work. People only see your rise instead of the whole thing.
I had people in ‘Entertainment Weekly’ talking about how they wanted to throttle me because they thought I was too disgustingly cute, as if that were my fault, you know, as if that was my fault, not the fault of directors and producers and such.
I clean out my house weekly. I just keep a lot of silly little things that are meaningful to me.
Focusing on the long-term goal can be disheartening when you’re so far away from it, so it’s vital to have ongoing targets on a daily, weekly and monthly basis.
Also, I need deadlines, just like everybody else, especially coming from magazines, newspapers, and stuff like that. I need daily or weekly deadlines to get stuff done, or I continue to do things and not go off on a year of unproductivity.
As a 10-year veteran of the NFL, I had a unique perspective weekly to see the heartfelt commitment of the fan. Regardless of years of disappointing and winless seasons, the true fans remained die-hard in their loyalty to ‘the Team.’
Being in ‘Us Weekly’ does not make you famous.
There’s a critic that I love, Manohla Dargis of the ‘L.A. Weekly.’ I like the underground point of view; it’s my old radical sympathies. Maybe I like her because she likes my movies.
Some churches make intercessory prayer part of their weekly schedule. If that’s not the case at your church, find another person in the faith to intercede with or go before God on your own.
Unfortunately with the media, the red tops, and all the celebrity weekly magazines, the ones who were once loyal – well, when I say loyal, this is a game; this is a game that we’re in. If it’s your time to get picked on, then you get picked on, and, you know, I’m used to that.
I have a weekly playlist on Spotify called Mixtape Mondays. So every Sunday night, I sit around listening to tunes to place. It’s becoming my favorite part of the week.
When I was a boy, I read a terrible article in a big weekly American magazine called the ‘Saturday Evening Post.’ In the middle of this family magazine on my parent’s coffee table was an article about this family that was camping, and they were all mauled by a grizzly bear in their sleeping bags.
People questioned if there was enough audience to sustain a major league, high-production value, second wrestling company, nationally, weekly. I think we’ve shown there is, there isn’t any question now.
People can see you on TV sloshing paint around with big four-inch brushes, and I learned to talk to camera in a friendly voice, not talking down to people, just explaining what I was doing. People like Picasso, Van Gogh, and Rembrandt did not have a weekly TV programme where people could see them painting.
Whether I stay on the air on a weekly basis or I don’t, that’s not my call. But I’ve had such a blessed career that if it ended tomorrow, I’ve got nothing to complain about.
The ‘beach read’ has become such a ubiquitous concept in contemporary literature that we assume it has always been around. In fact, the term only emerged in the 1990s, usually in book trade publications such as ‘Booklist’ and ‘Publisher’s Weekly.’
Now I’m instantly nervous about the demands of doing a weekly column.
From 1999 on – until 2003 – I covered publishing in a weekly column for Wired.com and wrote for several other publications – altogether writing over 150 articles.
I didn’t read a lot of comic books. But I was into ‘Dandy and The Beano,’ which were like a weekly pulp fiction that featured characters like Desperate Dan, Dennis the Menace, and Billy Whizz – pretty simplistic stuff but very entertaining.
When I’m out and about, it’s rare for me to be recognized. But for some reason, every now and then, someone will know who I am. It might be because my picture occasionally appeared in ‘Weekly Jump.’
