  • 00:18:16: D’OH. Just realized that my Microsoft Office installation CDs are in Dallas.
  • 01:11:16: What the? NY Mag is now sending me THREE copies of every issue. I called attention to the fact they were mistakenly sending me 2 in OCTOBER.
  • 08:57:54: The hell kind of ad is this for Weather.com? “See Real Torture — diehard.com — Watch torture videos now.”
  • 08:58:12: Obviously not on humans, but still… why would anyone click on that, except in horrified incredulity?
  • 11:06:13: *jaw drops* Pat Rothfuss’ “Golden Ticket” went for $15,200, won by Subterranean Press (@subpress)! Pat and Bill, you guys are AMAZING.
  • 11:06:37: 15k towards fighting global poverty, and a favor that’s likely to turn into a future Rothfuss novella. THE WINNER IS EARTH! @subpress
  • 11:29:15: @AnneSowards I hope NYCC goes without saying? :D
  • 11:43:39: “I’m down like your internet connection! I’m crashing like your MotionBuilder.” –George
  • 11:51:49: Ooh! Coworker behind me has “The Name of the Wind” on his desk. Clearly, today is Pat Rothfuss Awesomeness Day. Must exchange recs w/ him.
  • 13:07:52: @RockyShields No release date yet.
  • 18:09:02: A must-see, though not at work: Star Wars Burlesque! http://blogs.laweekly.com/westcoastsound/synthful/star-wars-burlesque-mos-eisley/

  • 00:44:21: @blazeorama Oh, “airlock” has always been a noun. But thanks to BSG, it’s been verbed! And that is beautiful.
  • 01:48:03: @mightykatemusic Can’t wait to hear it!
  • 09:22:23: @ksmccarthy24 Yay, thanks for checking in! The Northeast misses you already!
  • 12:12:26: Dear Priscilla, Before sending out emails and making news posts that reach many thousands of people, proofread. Bad beta. Love, Yourself.
  • 14:36:05: Aaaaaaarg. Forgot to press “send” on my lunch order. Have been waiting for 30 minutes for food that hasn’t been ordered yet.
  • 15:39:15: RT @AnneSowards: in honor of 01.11.10, I suggest watching “The Palindrome Reversal Palindrome” ep of THE MIDDLEMAN (thx @priscellie)
  • 20:03:08: Lovely. Coworker gave me the wrong information, so I spent 3/4 of today working on the wrong file. *shakes fist* PALINDROOOOOME!
  • 22:40:59: *jaw drops* I just… I don’t even know, people. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=37832641
  • 22:43:27: @Uilos Cheer up, emo kid! #Castle is on in 17 minutes! *hugs*
  • 23:01:14: WOOHOO, #Castle time!
  • 23:05:39: AUGH. The embryo lady friended me on twitter!
  • 23:10:19: Hate the cell phone ad w/ the blonde chick with the plaster arm and leg. Spelling out the joke is an insult to the audience’s intelligence.
  • 23:20:29: WOOHOO! Ad for ABC’s “The Deep End”! I have ulterior motives for wanting this show to succeed, so I’ll definitely be checking it out. :D
  • 23:27:14: How can you dance under the clock at Crand Central? Unless you were in the information kiosk. #geographyFail #Castle
  • 23:34:35: WOOHOO! #Leverage ad! WANT.

  • 11:47:19: Sweet! My computer is ready for pickup! Repairs usually take 5-7 days, but this time I got the call after 25 hours. I love Apple.
  • 14:10:25: At the Apple store to pick up laptop, masquerading once more as “Brenda.”
  • 15:25:54: Picked up some stuff at Bed Bath & Beyond, now cabbing it home. Driver’s name is Jabba.
  • 17:02:17: Installing Snow Leopard and rewatching “The Fall.” Good day.
  • 18:05:57: @nataliemorales Hey, Owen Wilson is a hottie. Now you have hotness AND street cred!
  • 21:17:02: FRAK. Didn’t export playlists–just assumed I could import the iTunes library file and restore them that way. Any way I can get them back?
  • 21:44:35: HAHA! I tried importing the xml library file instead on the proprietary itl file, and it reconstructed the whole thing!
  • 21:46:52: Though I feel quite brainy for figuring out a way to excavate playlist contents by viewing the xml file in a text editor
  • 21:46:57: and looking up which song files correlated with the hash numbers in the playlist.
  • 22:25:55: RT @Dark_Puck: http://www.us.dockers.com/season/landing.aspx WHAT THE SHIT IS THIS? // WHAT THE EVER-LOVING CRAP?
  • 22:33:24: Thanks, @Dark_Puck, for suggesting “The Lumberjack Song” to remedy Dockers-rage. And thank you, BSG: The Plan, for providing a distraction.
  • 22:43:54: @blazeorama Dockers: In Just Seven Days, I Can Make You a Maaaaaaaaan!
  • 23:59:15: I like that “airlock” is a verb.

  • 00:34:35: GLEE! @mightykatemusic is too wonderful for words.
  • 02:19:46: @viennateng Congrats!
  • 02:21:43: Sleep time for all good Cellies who must take their computers to be lobotomized tomorrow, then go to work. Sigh. But then Vampire Cowboys!
  • 11:12:23: At work, but were given the wrong keys, so can’t access the computer rooms. All coworkers with correct keys are apparently asleep. Lovely.
  • 11:47:24: Yay, we’re in! We were only sitting around uselessly for 47 minutes!
  • 15:46:34: @Uilos More than a horse head? The twelve-year-old daughter of a senator? Cthulhu?
  • 15:52:56: RT @AuthorGabrielle: “Silence is golden, but duct tape is silver.”

  • 09:20:55: Hey, it snowed last night! Like half an inch, sure, but it was surprising nonetheless to wake up to wintry whiteness. Good morning, snow!
  • 11:15:42: @Dark_Puck Whoops! Here’s @devilbunnyart’s in-progress illustration: http://jenniferrodgers.livejournal.com/52828.html Love her stuff.
  • 11:18:18: RT @neilhimself: A small reminder if you’re in the New York area: I’ll be narrating PETER & THE WOLF 7pm Jan16th. FREE. Details at http …
  • 11:19:49: @boymonster Keep your precipitation where it is! Snow in Manhattan stops being fun after about an hour.
  • 11:22:31: @boymonster This was extra-fun when I was nine years old, telling people my favourite movie was “Little Shop of Horrors.”
  • 11:25:43: RT @Esperacchius: I make this point all the time. We are ALL geeks, folks. http://tweetphoto.com/8271669 // *chortles*
  • 11:27:42: @Esperacchius Talking about football (UK) hooligans vs. sci-fi fans, Pratchett imagined folks taking to the street, whooping “DOCTOR WHOOO!”
  • 14:27:41: No matter how often I have Indian food, I always want it. Is this what it’s like to be a guy?
  • 15:30:47: I was just reminded of my favourite commercial ever, Folgers’ “Happy Morning.” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YMkkQO5HUXM Thanks, Fred.
  • 16:00:03: @fredhicks The only advice a layout artist ever needs: http://bit.ly/7aNE2B
  • 16:43:19: I think “Coed Alera” is my new favourite @longshotauthor-related typo. Furries/Furys is always hilarious, but it makes my brain cry.
  • 16:43:40: Now I’m picturing life at the Academy with the stylings of Gossip Girl.
  • 22:35:41: Dear Priscilla, Let go. Delegate. Love, Your Sanity.

  • 02:13:33: RT @feliciaday: These pictures are shocking, and say more about pollution and waste and the environment than any words: http://bit.ly/8f …
  • 02:33:25: Worked late, then picked up the new Star Trek DVD at the 24-hour Best Buy in Union Square. 24-hour Best Buy = best idea ever.
  • 11:06:19: @longshotauthor The *first* year? How many years have you been Indy? :D
  • 11:08:50: @nataliemorales Middlehomage! I can’t wait to see what niftiness awaits us.
  • 11:10:37: @BrandonSandrson I hope, hope, hope permission is granted! Not only would it delight aspiring writers; it would be great press for BYU.
  • 12:29:59: I have a green tea Kit Kat! I love the Japanese.
  • 12:32:57: @ShannonKButcher Hurrah! Hope New York Comic Con (October 8-10) is still in the cards.
  • 12:39:27: Oh, god. I have to google “Japanese schoolgirl” for work. Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy? *sets safe search on ELEVEN*
  • 18:39:38: @Elanith Oh! So now it’s Jim Butcher, Neil Gaiman, and Stan Lee! I like your kind of crazy. :D

  • 00:32:03: Being a beta and a fanficcer is a toxic combination. In @fourteenacross’ Writing Chat Thingy tonight, all I can think about is “Changes.” XD
  • 00:34:48: RT @JeffCarlisle: Is @feliciaday going to be in James Cameron’s sequel to AVATAR? A spoiler image seems to think so: http://tinyurl.com …
  • 00:45:43: RT @neilhimself: RT @jessebdylan: New scanners break child porn laws — oops – this is a large problem. http://bit.ly/7R643h
  • 01:17:53: Good night, internet! I have an appointment in the morning to get my hard drive replaced. Let’s hope everything backed up properly.
  • 11:45:52: @ShannonKButcher Ooh, have fun! 3D/IMAX or normal?
  • 12:34:14: @ShannonKButcher Get there early! I went Friday in Dallas, and it was so packed I had to sit in the 2nd row.
  • 13:32:24: Rather staggering: SONY’s “Did You Know?” video — http://bit.ly/LGu8z
  • 14:16:29: Ryan just referred to libraries as “smut houses.” I love this company. :D
  • 14:21:29: Was just Twitter friended by someone otherwise following only Jim Butcher and Neil Gaiman. One of these things is not like the other.
  • 23:12:03: Stumbled upon a blog entry by a soon-to-be-published novelist who used my map (among others) as inspiration for her own. Warmfuzzies!

  • 00:53:18: Is it just me, or does the Doctor’s new companion look a little like @FeliciaDay?
  • 02:28:23: Movies I Saw While On Vacation: Sherlock Holmes, An Education, The Princess and the Frog, Young Victoria, Nine, Avatar.
  • 02:28:26: More movies in a week and a half than I saw the whole rest of the year.
  • 13:20:29: @watchestomuchtv No, not Donna. The Eleventh Doctor’s companion.
  • 19:17:54: At the airport! My flight was bumped back from 6:40 to 7:55, and it’s 5:15 now. Sigh.
  • 19:18:43: But thanks to another cosmic screwup, I’m in first class again! Was I unusually kind to a haggard old man or something recently?
  • 21:05:59: Flight has been delayed to 8:15. Sigh again. I’m probably not going to get back to my apartment until 2am.
  • 21:40:41: Updated the Jim-Butcher.com store so that the short stories are listed in chronological order, with one-sentence blurbs. I have OCD.
  • 21:53:18: Why do airports lieeeeeeee?
  • 21:53:37: @nelspen Yup. A11.
  • 22:01:40: @anglophile80 Maybe Thomas felt the need to travel, too! Even supernatural sex vampires need vacations sometimes. :D
  • 22:12:19: @anglophile80 Are you kidding? The Vatican crew is the White Court’s *favourite*. They love seeing that long-repressed sexuality break. :D
  • 22:26:25: Whee, boarded!
