  • 00:12:16: Oh, man. It’s been so long since I’ve let myself lose myself in TV Tropes. I needed this.
  • 01:24:22: Huh. Guess I have my work cut out for me. Also my retinas. #weakzeugma
  • 01:39:12: We already knew @Uilos was awesome, but… he is ridiculously, universe-conqueringly awesome. THANK YOU!
  • 01:44:07: Have I mentioned @Uilos is awesome?
  • 08:16:45: The fact that I am awake right now is an affront to God and man.
  • 11:49:50: A coworker has “Day Man” from “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” as his ringtone. Makes working Saturday marginally less agonizing.
  • 11:52:45: *stares* My To-Do List is going to take me like 2 hours. Why couldn’t I have stayed late Fri and NOT COME IN TO WORK ON A SATURDAY?
  • 12:01:30: On the other hand, I get paid double time over the weekend, as opposed to time and a half overtime on weekdays. Okay, job, you may live.
  • 12:02:33: Happy Birthday, @viennateng!
  • 12:20:05: @beachkid Once you find it, let me know. In the meantime, I and my default 50-hour work week offer you hugs of empathy.
  • 12:21:30: @Uilos SLEEP.
  • 12:36:26: RT @USA_Network: “Dinosaurs Welcome.” // I love this network.
  • 15:01:40: Woohoo, headin’ out! Off to see “District 9” with @spodalicious.
  • 15:50:49: A young woman, LOUDLY, in the theater: “Who the hell is Gerard Butler?” My brain: “It’s who @longshotauthor pictures playing Bernard…”
  • 18:12:47: “District 9” was incredible! So glad I saw it on the big screen. And to my surprise, the theater was PACKED. Must be doing well!
  • 18:33:39: @fredhicks It doesn’t help that half the characters in the series have names starting with “M.” Be strong, my man!
  • 18:39:38: @Uilos *seraphim and cherubim sing their joy*
  • 18:43:45: Mmm, cozy rainy day. *curls up on the couch with a chocolaty beverage to drink and a fic to write*
  • 20:09:56: @ksmccarthy24 ROCK STAR! *tacklesnugs* I’m so proud of you!
  • 21:19:21: @Dark_Puck Are they making you flip out? *ba-dum tssshhh*
  • 21:27:13: @Dark_Puck My 7th grade math book had a problem featuring a dude named Manuel Dexterity dragging his friends’ bodies across the ground.
  • 21:50:37: @ShannonKButcher Good thing it’s not a snuggie. Your description would conjure shades of Cruella DeVille.
  • 22:00:11: @ShannonKButcher I consider them a source of amusement now. Like those bizarre targeted Gmail ads.
  • 22:54:46: @beckyh2112 Sweet, thanks. Would you mind saying so in the comments, so I’ll remember? They’re screened, so only I can see them.

  • 00:24:48: Wow, just remembered today is Thursday, and I need to be at work tomorrow. It felt like a Friday all day! Better head bedwards, then.
  • 00:41:38: Finally watched last night’s “Glee,” btw. @KChenoweth was sensational! But then, I’d listen to her sing the phone book. :D
  • 08:10:19: @mkcho73 I don’t think so. “Am” is a bit too bland a linking word. Thank you for reminding me of that word, though! Totally today’s WOTD!
  • 10:48:05: WOE! Second @vampirecowboys’ Saturday Night Saloon is the same time as “An Evening Without Monty Python.” Wish they recorded the Saloon.

  • 13:19:06: @Uilos Double-checked, and it’s definitely Saturday, the 10th.
  • 15:34:57: *sporfle* Okay, guilty. My mom loves teasing me about my jeans-and-a-t-shirt uniform vs. my ComicCon costumes. http://bit.ly/T2eZG

  • 17:14:15: To @beachkid: Oh my god. The White Court published Dracula to undermine the Black Court, then Twilight to pacify tweens against themselves.
  • 17:17:16: Fact: Madrigal Raith secretly ships Team Jacob.
  • 17:28:33: @Dark_Puck Madrigal does.
  • 17:35:25: @Dark_Puck I’m not sure Twilight fandom is something that can be won.
  • 17:39:32: Devastated to learn the “IgNobel Prize” actually exists. I thought I coined the phrase for my unfinished Evil League of Evil application!
  • 17:45:43: @Dark_Puck *salutes* Noted.
  • 17:46:55: ARG. Asked at 5:45 on a Friday afternoon if I can work tomorrow. DO NOT WANT DO NOT WANT DO NOT WANT.

  • 18:16:39: @ksmccarthy24 I was tired! I fell victim to the office grammasite.
  • 19:57:04: Feeling glum. Thursday felt like Friday, then Friday went on forever, and now I have to work Saturday. This calls for Middleman DVDs!
  • 21:18:45: Hearing Alex Denisof’s normal accent is kind of unsettling. It’s like he’s lip syncing to someone else’s words.
  • 22:10:40: Yay Dollhouse! I’m usually less fond of the straight-up “Imprint of the Week” episodes, but this one was solid.
  • 22:19:37: @ShannonKButcher He’ll punch someone in mowing the lawn? In opening jars of pasta sauce? In retrieving things from really high shelves?
  • 22:24:06: @longshotauthor @mike23 FLF and TC on Kindle are $9.99, while the hardbacks are $17.13 on Amazon/$25 MSRP. “Changes” should be similar.
  • 22:25:51: @ShannonKButcher Always happy to provide rose-tinted spectacles upon request! Or horse blinders. :D
  • 22:31:28: @NeilMSchwartz Read as “Springsteen covered Schoolhouse Rock,” which = GLORIOUS. Why isn’t the universe as awesome as my brain thinks it is?
  • 22:33:00: @sue_sue4 I do. This calls for watching them!
  • 22:33:18: @ksmccarthy24 Hey, m’love! Did you get my email?
  • 22:35:32: DUDE. I had no idea the SoHo Apple store recorded their celebrity guest talks! Hear @NathanFillion and more at http://bit.ly/fpEBf
  • 22:36:48: @paulandstorm @jonathancoulton I wonder how many folks are going to tweet “I made this half-baby half-monkey to please you!” in response?
  • 22:50:04: @sinspired I don’t believe I did! Link?
  • 23:09:38: Oh, man. Lee Pace’s big, muppety eyebrows are INSTANT slayers of woe! No funk can dare withstand “Pushing Daisies.”
  • 23:17:10: Has anyone made a list of all the Hitchcock references in “Pushing Daisies”? It must be pages long!

  • 15:17:03: Urk. Just got hit with the sleepybat.
  • 15:37:02: “The Grim Reaper is now following you on Twitter!” A fortuneless cookie, and now this? Perhaps God is telling me to watch more Bryan Fuller.

  • 23:10:00: @ShannonKButcher Congrats on the Examiner spotlight!
  • 23:25:32: “2012” preview during Project Runway looked brain-achingly dumb. CGI is no substitute for story, guys. Especially when the CGI is BAD.
  • 23:30:12: Wow, 3 @KatyPfaffl + Guests concerts in Oct? At The Living Room, near the Creperie and Sugar Sweet Sunshine cupcakery? I am SO IN.

  • 00:34:39: @ksmccarthy24 I use really big, obscure words when I write while tired. In a five-page paper on “The Piano,” I used the following words:
  • 00:35:28: @ksmccarthy24 Ostensibly, tempestuous, indelibly, indissolubly, perfidy, imbue, permeates, innumerable, + my personal favourite, homonymic.
  • 00:36:04: @ksmccarthy24 I got an A, but I pity the poor TA that had to read that paper. :D
  • 00:38:28: @Dark_Puck It’s just not generally used in everyday conversation. I used it because it makes me think of Jubal Early. :D
