  • 00:22 What is this "#lift08" McCain meme? Googled it; got a tech conference. Likely unrelated, as McCain is more of a luddite than Harry Dresden. #
  • 00:28 Whoops. It would help if I spelled "litf08" correctly. Still can’t crack the acronym, though. Lepers Inhabit Toxic Future? McCain ’08! #
  • 00:30 @stormkite Thanks for the litf08 clarification! I think I prefer my theories, though. How about the Llama, Isopod, and Twi’lek Foundation? #

See more Ron Howard videos at Funny or Die

Oh, Ron Howard. Don’t you know Andy Griffith and Happy Days aren’t the real America, and don’t represent small-town American values? Go peddle your radical left-wing terrorist claptrap somewhere else. McCAIN ’08!

  • 20:10 @fourteenacross We must work to renew Pushing Daisies! SO BRILLIANT. #
  • 21:13 @fourteenacross Tiny Pushing Daisies Characters universally own my soul. They need to have tiny adventures together in fanfic. #
  • 21:13 @mkcho73 You can; I just don’t know how good it would taste. #
  • 22:46 Dear Internet, I’m about 90% sure Sarah Palin was joking about naming her sixth child "Zamboni." Take a chill pill. Love, Me #

Just signed up for Yuletide. I was quite amused at the character list participants had assembled for the Dresden Files, as it includes a “Frank Hendricks.” I know that’s the name his player in the Hearts and Minds RPG came up with for him, but I wasn’t aware it was so firmly entrenched in fanon! Somehow I felt like a party pooper, correcting it to Nathan.

In other news, Kristin sent me the photographs she took of me as a psychotic, murderous queen. I have a freakishly long neck and evil-looking clavicles. It’s good to be the queen!

Books I am currently in the middle of: (in the order they were started)

  1. The Vor Game, Lois McMaster Bujold
  2. The Sellsword, Cam Banks (a long-time friend of Jim Butcher–we palled around at Comic Con)
  3. The Wordy Shipmates, Sarah Vowell
  4. The Graveyard Book, Neil Gaiman
  5. The Queen’s Bastard, C.E. Murphy

    and now

  6. More Information Than You Require, John Hodgman

Self control. I should look into it.

But why, you may ask, is my brain going in so many directions? Perhaps this is because I have done so many awesome things in the past month.

September 15: Attended the Audacity of Jokes Obama fundraiser. Among other notable comics were Kristen Schaal (Flight of the Conchords, The Daily Show) and Jonathan Coulton.

September 29: The Mobile Pie Hole! Enjoyed free pie and Pushing Daisies swag in Times Square as ABC pimped the season premiere.

September 30: Kevin invited me to see Simon Pegg at Comix. I LOVE YOU, KEVIN!

October 1: Pushing Daisies premiere! I made delicious pies for my guests and wore a cute dress. Afterward, Kristen helped me hang the Serenity travel posters I’ve been meaning to hang for months. I also put up the Pushing Daisies dot I was given by a Mobile Pie Hole attendant. It’s about two feet wide, and it looks fabulous on the wall!

October 2: Bought Nation! Listened to audio book Thursday and Friday.

October 5: Toured the Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons as a part of Open House New York.

October 8: Saw Sarah Vowell speak!

October 10: Long-time family friend Tex invited me to a performance art production, for which he composed the music. It was very bizarre, but it was great to see him and his family again!

October 12: Kristen and I went out for crepes, then she used me as a model for her painting of a psychotic queen. I’m still waiting to see those photos, Kristen! Later, Tex invited me to watch the Cowboys game, then I treated him to gelato.

October 15: Debate Night! And better, my beloved college roommate Ko spent the night!

October 16: Kevin and I went to the Obama campaign HQ to get training for phone banking, canvassing, and other forms of volunteering. W00t!

October 17: Invited more friends out for crepes! Crepecrepecrepecrepecrepe.

October 18: Planned to spend the weekend phone banking, but woke up on Saturday a nasty cold and couldn’t. Lamesauce, body.

October 20: Ko came to town again! She and I and one of our favourite college professors, Veronica, went to Vesselka for shenanigans and raspberry blintzes.

October 21: Saw John Hodgman and Jonathan Coulton speak and perform, respectively, at Barnes and Noble. Fig. 1, Jonathan Coulton summons a great white whale through the sheer force of his awesomeness. Fig. 2, John Hodgman sees whut you did thar. Unfortunately, he does not see the great Brobdingnagian hand come to squish his head and filch a copy of his new book, More Information Than You Require.

Have I mentioned how much I love living in New York?

  • 18:05 At B&N, soon to be captivated by @hodgman and @jonathancoulton. Will any of you guys be in attendance, besides the obvious? #
  • 18:17 @boymonster I am dubious. We may have to thumb-war for the title at the next Comic Con. #
  • 23:26 Did I know before today @hodgman is doing a cameo on Battlestar Galactica? How can sadness exist in the world in the face of such splendor? #
