In these last quiet days before our first weekly deadline, I’ve been sending out emails and making calls, drumming up excitement for our script. One person I did not call is L.A. Times blogger Veronique de Turenne, who managed to sniff out our site practically before it was up. Veronique, of course, is a colleague from LA Observed, where her blog Here in Malibu brightens cyberspace with the same wit and keen eye that makes her one of the Times’ hottest new talents. And I’m not just saying that because she gave us a nice tip of the cap this morning at her Times blog, L.A. Now (scroll down to 10:32 a.m.), though it didn’t hurt.
