Adrift: The ship engines – a bone-deep subliminal hum that goes unnoticed until absent – fade to idle. Jo.. http://bit.ly/KKhqo #
RT: @scalzi: I get by with a little help from my friends. And Coke Zero. Mostly the Coke Zero. #
I sort of forgot about Twitter today. Not 'forgot' as in 'consciously avoided', but as in 'pretty much failed to recall as a thing.' #
Going to go see 9 tonight; I can't physically restrain myself from doing so on 9.9.9. Advertising dupe? Whatever. Pass the popcorn. #
Adrift: I tap in two messages, sent in opposite directions. The first reads, “I am coming.” T.. http://bit.ly/AbGWT #
The Health Care Debate (http://j.mp/1XPjvr) – Once again, brilliant. #

I'm a little leery of this Reader2Twitter plugin, but… well, we'll see how it goes. #
Tomorrow, I'm flying to Oklahoma. Why? For the best of all possible visiting-Oklahoma reasons – to drive OUT of Oklahoma. Yes, seriously. #
Ask Maggie: Nine Toddler Things I Can’t Live Without (http://j.mp/Zp77M) – #
Watched "9" last night. The full length film absolutely delivers on the promise of the trailer and/or the award-nominated short. #
Review: Shane Acker’s 9 (http://j.mp/i5iGX) – I pretty much feel this review is spot-on. Doesn't mean it's not a good movie, but it's no … #

Walked down into the one-story, painted-cinderblock, services-free terminal to wait for our prop-plane flight. 1955 is sunny. #
I suspect our reverse time-travel might continue well into the afternoon. And me without my Obama button. #
RT @TrishDoller KT Lit #followfriday: @JosieBloss @JohnnyNoble @kikihamilton @theames @naturallysteph @juliaakarr @ransomriggs @twitofalili #
Upside: told we can leave our phones on all flight; the signal does not, apparently, interfere with the 'wireless telegraph' on board. #
Adrift: I start some engine work. Deirdre comms – says it’s affecting the jump. Open a terminal; Jo.. http://bit.ly/MnYRJ #
Oklahoma heat is not like Colorado heat – this OK stuff has ~20% more Suck in it. #lrnaboutweathertermsFriday #

Just had a great meal at an old autpomotive garage renovated as a charming restaurant. I <3 urban decay as a design goal. #
Mark Twain (http://j.mp/44Rgwf #
Then and Now with Goofus and Gallant – This Modern World | Salon Comics (http://j.mp/q1bJd) – Yup. #
Lois McMaster Bujold (http://j.mp/10C9Xt) – A quote somewhat relevant to the current Healthcare dust-up. #
RT @Maggie Starting to think the human condition shifts between two states of being: 1. Lonely. 2. Wishing everyone would leave you alone. #

RT @Three_Star_Dave RT @drhorrible: Emmy. Yes. We won an Emmy. You are the reason. [Woot! Huzzah! MWAH-HA-HA-HA!] #
