  • 01:27:10: @longshotauthor I got all excited about my ability to program my TiVo remotely, but alas, I don’t get that channel! Thwarted.
  • 01:39:16: EE, COMIC ART WHERE MURPHY IS A HEAD AND A HALF SHORTER THAN HARRY! BE STILL, MY HEART! (Yeah, she should be 2+ heads shorter. I’ll cope.)
  • 01:44:23: @longshotauthor Perish the thought! Next thing you know, there will be force rings appearing willy-nilly!
  • 01:52:30: @OKBJGM My national nightmare is an exam I didn’t study for, without pants, under the leadership of President Palin. It’s really over?

  • 02:33:24: @terioncalling I returned from SDCC with 50 autographed books for @booksforboobs. I feel inferior. :D

  • 11:52:00: I just drove an hour to the wrong 1201 Figueroa Street. Seems the Convention Center is at 1201 *S* Figueroa St, which is N of N Figueroa.
