Tomorrow is December 1, 2015. My goal, created and written down this April, was to become a Director of Diversity at a Media or Entertainment company by December 1, 2015. I did not achieve my goal. That makes me sad.

Anyhoodle, today I did more Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter socializing.

I also watched the first part of Morning Glory in español for inspiration. If a fictional, plucky white Rachel McAdams can badger "fictional" Jeff Goldblum into giving her a glass cliff job with no specified salary in the dying industry of broadcast television, then maybe there's hope for IRL me.

I've been working on a project called Talented Tuesdays for my blog, ForNerdyGirls.com. Each Tuesday, whenever I actually start doing this, the blog will feature a digital innovator who is less recognized than they should be. I put a list together of over 50 leaders in their respective new media fields.

There are hundreds of other women doing great thing in the digital world who should be lauded, but I'm only one person. Creating an Excel spreadsheet with scores of names and Twitter handles took long enough.

I also sent out some favorable tweets.

I told more people about this blog and I tweeted a message of support to a fellow blogger. I also searched for jobs and applied to one.

I followed more colleagues on Twitter today.

In other news, I am delving into the Gilmore Guys podcast. Starting a new podcast is like jumping in double dutch ropes. You have to feel the rhythm and join the game already in progress at the right point, or it won't work. Not too early, because the hosts are still figuring out what they're doing. Not too late, because you won't get the recurring inside jokes. I started with some of my favorite Season 2 episodes, "The Road Trip to Harvard," "Lorelai's Graduation Day," and "I Can't Get Started."

Then I hit the holy grail of any podcast, the Paul F. Tompkins episode, live, on video! Pretty darn good.

At Thanksgiving dinner, I told various relatives about my career search in Diversity & Inclusion in Media & Entertainment and yielded mostly positive results. No one had any suggestions regarding how to go about it, but no one threw a buttered roll at me either.

I also did some Facebooking and tweeting this morning, and people responded. On a national holiday! Hooray for me!

I posted my article! Monday Morning Quarterback: The Mockingjay Part 2 edition.

I am thinking about writing more unsolicited proposals for entertainment companies showing them how they can make more money. I'm sure my ideas will be received well. :|

I do tweet a lot. When I have the time. More than the average person, but not more than the average person on Twitter.

I worked on my Hunger Games article more, but I haven't posted it yet. It is not easy trying to do everything. I did write this post. And I got on this Twitter trend. Relevant.
