| Example #1 I was watching tv when a commercial came on for a local car dealership. The owner of the dealership is a guy named Bob Tolkan. I wasn't really paying attention until the final screen came up: it had the word "Tolkan" in large red letters. I spent the next minute or so wondering why they had misspelled Tolkien; finally I realized that that commercial had nothing at all to do with Tolkien. Example #2 This one just happened, and brought to mind story #1: I was driving past a parking lot structure near a university. There was a large sign out front with "PARKING LOT R" on it. Thing is, the "LOT R" was in large red letters and not spaced well, so I thought it was a big sign with "LOTR" on it. I see those letters, that's the conclusion I jump to. |
| On Friday, October 19, 2001, a letter that I wrote was read on The Late Show with David Letterman. Click here to see proof. I was mentioned on TV Guide's podcast! I'm the "Heather M." they start talking about around 0:46:48. A question I asked was printed in Entertainment Weekly, issue 781, page 65. Click here to read it. |
| Yeah, I'm almost famous. |
| A question I often get asked is: "Where in the world did you get 'MedevaM' from?"; Since this page is about me, I'll finally dignify that with a response. Medeva was a character on the PBS kids' show "Where in Time is Carmen Sandiego?" of which I was a great fan. She was a medieval sorceress (get it? Medieval, Medeva?) It also could be some type of pun on "Medea." I dunno.) When I first joined Yahoo! in 1997 or so, I needed a good, quick nickname, so Medeva popped into my head and I tried it. Unfortunately, I got the typical "Sorry, that nickname is already taken." Not to be daunted, I added an "M" at the end (my last name begins with an "M") and it was accepted. Henceforth, MedevaM was born. And now you know the rest of the story. |
| Medeva...what now? |
