  • 08:21 @beachkid by the way, thank you for introducing me to the word "sealclapping." It filled a very important hole in my vocabulary! #
  • 09:26 MADE OF WIN! The recycling program Linda and I started is now official company policy and has been expanded from just plastic to paper, too! #
  • 14:40 RT @mkcho73: tinyurl.com/da4osj #
  • 21:10 Picked up the new Neko Case album on my way home from work. I love her voice! Listening now. #
  • 21:12 @NeilMSchwartz Maybe they think she’s constantly on her way to a convention and/or to chop wood? #
  • 21:14 @kitoconnell Sounds like the perfect way to spend a day! #
  • 21:47 @fourteenacross My favourite burger in the city is vegan: black bean patty with assorted veggies and soy bacon. Your soul should rejoice! #
  • 22:35 32 minutes of frogs? Really, Neko Case? I let myself zone out and embrace the sound, but when I came back, less than 5 minutes had passed. #
  • 22:35 I’m not without a tree-hugging hippie streak, but I’d rather have 27 more minutes of actual music. #

  • 00:30 Duuuuude. Levelator magically removed like 80% of the annoying noise reduction artifacts. That shouldn’t be possible, but… yay! #
  • 00:31 @featherjean I second that! Gluten is nasty, but it’s almost impossible to avoid. #
  • 00:32 @NeilMSchwartz Only if the vampires in question are badly written. #
  • 00:40 @Esperacchius The snow will be over Monday afternoon. You should be fine by Wednesday. #
  • 00:42 @Uilos *smirks annoyingly* #
  • 00:44 @paulandstorm That’s so adorable my teeth hurt. #
  • 00:53 @featherjean I use Twittelator. It gets the job done! #
  • 01:16 Dude, when did it get to be 1:16? I swear I looked at my clock 15 minutes ago and it was 11:40. Stupid aliens. #
  • 08:31 Argh! Not one of my THREE alarms went off today. Stupid alarms–my job doesn’t believe in snow days. Woke 10 min before I had to leave. #
  • 08:35 Also, the pristine snow I went to sleep to is all grungy and trod upon. Hmph. Ah well. I’m going to make it in time! Life remains good! #
  • 08:37 @Esperacchius Dude, you can *always* wear your browncoat. You don’t have to have an excuse. You can wear it to the beach! It’s that awesome. #
  • 09:18 Actual Metro paper headline this morning: "’Dumpster Divers’ Rate the Best Trash Eats." Is the economy really that bad? Or just the writers? #
  • 09:45 Oh, wow. The snow is SO PRETTY outside my work window! Pure white flurries, buoyed by currents of wind rushing between the buildings. Mmmm. #
  • 09:45 @Uilos *smirks more annoyingly* #
  • 10:30 Woe! The snow stopped! I thought it was going to continue well into the afternoon. #
  • 11:29 The word of the day is "sanguine." Someone should tell Mal. #
  • 16:58 The trouble with having long hair is no one notices when you hack off six inches. Or maybe the trouble is that my coworkers are all guys. #
  • 17:09 @Esperacchius Just stop before you start seeing pink elephants, k? #
  • 21:24 @Esperacchius That’s because men singing French arias are hot. #
  • 21:25 @boymonster Rush Limbaugh doesn’t care if you’re a bunch of scary alcoholic bums! #
  • 22:24 @gypsyjr Is it the "very close talking" episode? Because that was hilarious. #

  • 13:10 @Uilos That makes three of us! #
  • 14:54 Off to the Doctor Who NY meetup! Their tribute to Three will be my first exposure to Old School Who. Let it begin! #
  • 23:04 The snow is coming down in gorgeous, swirling gusts. It’s mesmerizing. #
  • 23:05 @hobbitwriter *laughs* Wonderful! Stay strong! #
  • 23:08 @neilhimself It’s okay. We’ll feel the joy for you! Fingers are crossed for more screens for Coraline. #
  • 23:31 Unsurprisingly, @viennateng’s "The Last Snowfall" is a really, really good snow-watching song. #
  • 23:32 @smuu I don’t know how to do a cartwheel, either. It’s not uncommon. #
  • 23:51 What the… why can’t I reduce noise on chapter 4? I’m on the lowest setting, but I’m still getting crazy artifacts. #

  • 00:22 Just found $200 in gift cards given to me a Christmas ago! My hiding spots are too clever for their own good. #
  • 02:08 @mkcho73 Hope you like Nordstrom and Anthropologie! #
  • 12:13 Why do I smell burnt hair? #
  • 15:19 @Uilos *cocks eyebrow* I’m covered! #
  • 15:38 @donttrythis I don’t believe that’s how "goblin" is spelled in this instance. #
  • 16:01 @boymonster I think of it as the onomatopoeia for the sound Homer Simpson makes when he scarfs donuts. I like it. #
  • 16:10 @Uilos Let me know if you find it. #
  • 16:19 @smuu In interviews, does he have a goatee? #
  • 16:21 @featherjean On a galactic scale? Earth. #
  • 16:25 Really, ice cream truck? Really? You’re aware there’s a windchill of 29 and a 60% chance of snow, right? #
  • 16:27 Mrsfgl. Feeling crampy and gross. Considering spending the rest of the day in the bath with my copy of "Watchmen." #
  • 17:00 Ooh, devouring Watchmen a second time is going to be a treat. I still think Rorschach reads like he should have a Russian accent, though. #
  • 17:35 Mmm, feeling human again. Also, after an hour in peach cinnamon bubble bath, my skin feels really, really soft. #
  • 18:54 Dear everyone involved in the "Neverending Story" remake: Don’t make me hurt you. No love, Priscilla #
  • 20:26 @gypsyjr Actually, Baconnaise is vegan. I know this because my coworkers are obsessed with it. I’m looking at you, @redone17. #
  • 20:28 @CBSisSlayer730 That scans beautifully in place of the last line of "I’ve Got a Theory." #
  • 20:36 @beachkid Watching the "Oceanarium Reimagined" video. It entertains me that the narrator’s last name is Ramirez. :D #
  • 20:38 @Esperacchius Feh, cinnamon is manly! Bubbles can be manly, too, like the character from "Lilo and Stitch." #
  • 21:40 @Uilos Happy to be of assistance! *tips hat* #
  • 21:46 @Esperacchius Sitting in the bubble bath, arms crossed, trying to will the rubber ducky out of existence as he scowls up at an amused Murph? #
  • 21:52 @Esperacchius If it would help his case, it could be a pirate rubber duckie. Or a ninja. It certainly would not be pink. Certainly. #
  • 21:59 @Uilos All the important bits would be hidden! There would be a lot of bubble bath! I meant no romantic overtones. Only silliness. #
  • 22:00 @Uilos Though to answer your question, probably squee a lot while trying to seem sober and mature in my beta-comments on the scene. #
  • 22:02 @gypsyjr Ah. My coworkers lied, then! For shame, coworkers! You have borne me false witness with your Baconnaise! #
  • 22:05 @Uilos Just the duckie. He’s a big guy. There probably isn’t a lot of room for bath toys. #
  • 22:06 @Esperacchius Okay, but I warn you. It’ll smell like peach cinnamon. #
  • 22:23 @Uilos Can’t freaking wait. :D #
  • 22:28 @feliciaday You are a rock star. #
  • 22:39 @beachkid Any day in which there is no cackling and sealclapping is a day wasted. #

  • 10:05 From @neilhimself: Vote for your favourite character! (To Twi-fans: character =/= self-indulgent, masturbatory fantasy) bit.ly/BI2sQ #
  • 11:39 (Coworker G flexes arm gingerly) Coworker ES, reassuringly: "Your elbow looks fine. It looks like an elbow." #
  • 11:49 @mkcho73 I had the same feeling this morning! It stayed with me all through my commute. Mad mojo in the city today. #
  • 17:19 RT @politicaltickerHow to get Michelle Obama’s toned arms – tinyurl.com/cmwad3. *weeps openly* #
  • 17:24 @Esperacchius *hands you a box of caffeinated gum* #
  • 20:09 @emshore At least it looked healthy? #
  • 21:11 Ah, Dollhouse. Have I mentioned here that Dichen Lachman (Sierra) needs to play Kitai? Because she does. bit.ly/11dbXo #
  • 21:41 *cackles* Eliza has a Hulu ad, too! #
  • 22:08 Dollhouse. Wow. That SUCKED. #
  • 23:16 Urgh, how is it so hot in my apartment? How can we have control over the A/C but not the radiator? *opens windows* #
  • 23:17 @epicFlail People have no patience and want their toys NOW NOW NOW? #

  • 09:30 My work computer was re-imaged last night. So begins the slow process of getting all my settings back in order. #
  • 09:33 @boymonster Remember, they’re more afraid of you than you are of them. #
  • 10:03 Wow. I wonder if the creatives realize how sexist their latest round of changes is. #
  • 12:05 OMG. Photoshop CS4 has tabbed windows! I am so turned on right now. #
  • 12:12 Spam: "Get king-kong in pants." My first thought: Aww, gorilla pants dance! #
  • 12:38 ARG EXPORT ALREADY. #
  • 13:17 Gak! Here’s me, wondering why my food hasn’t gotten here yet, only to realize I never pressed "send" on my order. Smart, Priscilla. #
  • 16:32 So ready for this day to be over. Why can’t I have a normal 9-5 job, where I would get out in 30 minutes, as opposed to 2 1/2 hours? #
  • 16:33 @Phil_Boswell He was reading from an ARC. What differences did you notice? #
  • 19:08 Sometimes I wonder how people dress themselves in the morning. #
  • 20:11 YES! I’m not the only person who thinks my coworker looks like Tony Stark! I’ve been silently giggling over this for a year and a half. #

  • 00:11 @hobbitwriter Only because you said "Please"! Midnight MDT, which is 2EST, 1CST, and 11PST. #
  • 09:44 @MelissaRuby Welcome to Twitter, Melissy! #
  • 09:58 @Uilos Except the cliffhangers btw later chapters are far more agonizing than the ones you get, & we don’t know when the next hit is coming! #
  • 09:59 @sinspired Edit it yourself! Lord knows I’ve rectified my share of oversights on that website. That’s that wikis are for! #
  • 10:00 @sinspired Also, curse you for telling me @tvtropes had a twitter account! It’s hard enough skirting the time-suck as it is. :D #
  • 10:04 Mrsfgl. Is it naptime yet? #
  • 10:34 Aww, "First Lord’s Fury," final book in the Codex Alera, comes out the day after my 25th birthday! How momentous. :D #
  • 11:43 @Phil_Boswell Hahahahaha no. That would be a recipe for instant burnout for Jim. Plus, I want to know what happens to Glencannon! #
  • 12:31 Hmm, what to get for lunch? I want Indian, but that’s pretty much all my fridge is filled with. XD #
  • 16:06 @KevinConn Does God speak in CAPS LOCK? Serifs? #
  • 16:10 @hobbitwriter You did indeed! If all proceeds as planned, the first chapter of Jim’s Turn Coat read-aloud will be posted tonight. #
  • 18:47 @sinspired Imagine if they combined forces? Humanity would be doomed. #
  • 20:20 "Man, my food is supposed to come within from ten minutes ago. Now." –Coworker M #
  • 21:48 Yay, heading home! Probably should be staying later, but two thousand-plus subscribers to the Butcher Block would be out for my blood. #
  • 22:56 Arg. Toted three trash bags full of plastic bottles to Grand Central, only to find they’re no longer recycling in the terminal. What now? #
  • 23:15 DUDE. Audacity’s noise reduction filter is awesome! I can’t believe I haven’t tried it before. #
  • 23:53 Attempting to record a podcast while your roommate is trying to sleep is not a good combination. Stealth mode engaged! #

  • 00:20 @Esperacchius Yeah. It kind of makes my brain bleed. #
  • 00:25 @mkcho73 Are you hating on Roberto Benigni? Because I can arrange to kick your ass. #
  • 00:31 @ee1013 I do believe so! Kinda nifty–I didn’t think Jekyll & Hyde was well known enough for Oscar filk. #
  • 09:59 Winter weather + slight weight loss = my rings keep falling off. Should I get them re-sized nowish or wait for summer? #
  • 10:00 @redone17 Wordy McWord! Coraline in 3D is not to be missed! #
  • 10:11 Finally got around to watching the latest Dollhouse. Don’t be evil, Middleman! Stay good! #

  • 00:13 It’s amazing how much sleepier I feel when I forget my computer’s clock is set an hour late. #
  • 09:11 Last day of ConDFW, which promises to be relaxing. No panels to moderate… No 26+ person party to choreograph… Just fun and friends. #
  • 11:01 Fresh from delicious breakfast with family, I’m off to learn how to blow up spaceships! #
  • 11:09 Dear everyone at every panel at every con ever, Turn your cell phones on "vibrate.". Love, Priscilla #
  • 18:25 Brust signed my copy of Jhereg "To the petty lady." Inside joke I don’t get? Drunken typo? Secret scorn? #
  • 18:31 @Uilos "Petty" is not a compliment. Mal said so. #
  • 21:13 Did the Best Animated Short winner just thank his pencil? I kind of love this guy. Domo arigatou for being awesome, guy. #
  • 21:25 Why are half the clips they’re using to showcase the makeup in Benjamin Button not makeup but CG? #
  • 21:36 Ben Stiller in crazy person makeup looks kind of like Alan Moore. #
  • 22:00 Oh, Hugh and Beyonce! I hope the musical is back! #
  • 22:15 Bad form, Bill Maher. #
  • 22:32 Sound editing: Wall-E was freaking robbed. Also, what’s the difference between Sound Editing and Sound Mixing? #
  • 22:39 …ilu so hard, Tim Gunn, you magnificent sellout. #
  • 23:01 How cool is it that two of three nominated songs are not in English? #
  • 23:45 Robert Pattinson looks like a vampire crack addict up past his bedtime. #
  • 00:03 Aww, Dev Patel is holding the little girl that played Latika! He is so freaking adorable. #

  • 10:39 @redone17 joy! Do the powers that be *know* that they’re working again? :D #
  • 10:48 @beyondabsurdity You deserve every glowing word! Fight Girl and Soul Samurai represent the most fun I’ve had at the theatre in ages! #
  • 15:32 WHAT. HOW AM I THE MODERATOR FOR BOTH MY PANELS? #
  • 15:52 I have decided that this will be awesome, even though I have no idea what I’m doing. Reality has no place in my panels. #
  • 16:02 …One of my panelists is one of the Guests of Honor. Fantastic. #
  • 17:03 Set up recording equipment for Jim Butcher’s reading. Radiating false authority and slowly realizing that said authority may be genuine. #
  • 18:13 Recording went well! Audacity spazzed midway through chapter 5, and at first it wasn’t going to let me save, but I coaxed it into doing so. #
  • 18:28 People keep approaching me and complimenting my computer. Yeah, it’s shiny, but it’s identical to every other 17" MacBook Pro on the planet. #
  • 18:34 T-minus 27 minutes until my first panel. Must remain chill. #
  • 18:34 @boymonster I’m dressed like a normal person, which probably counts as dressed up if you’re me. #
  • 20:09 I survived my panel! Huzzah! #
