  • Google Super Bowl Ad – PSFK (http://goo.gl/gL6Z) – Brilliant ad. And so true. (Thanks, @ChuckWendig and @MsInformation.) #
  • I'm a grown man still uncomfortable with 6-month-out appointments. #
  • No idea what to get my Dad for his birthday. #
  • Dental visit and cleaning this morning. My teeth feel like they've been to the gym. (Next week one will feel like it's been to a biker bar.) #
  • Just found out that Google voice hasn't sent me my voicemails since 1/31. I have missed a super important call since then. #angry #
  • Writers Be Crazy (http://goo.gl/5zC4) – "… while you’re supporting us, do not support our nonsense." Sooth. #

  • RT @DaphneUn: The innocent victims of flame wars are the saddest. RT @Epidiah: Beaker's Ballad: http://tiny.cc/JljjF #
  • Guys, I just got excellent news back on my latest WIP revision. Seriously, I'm fucking giddy. And relieved. 140 characters cannot convey. #
  • … mostly relieved, actually. An epoch of "Whew". #
  • Adrift: “Nominal” means that Deirdre meets all the Scourge-positive scan criteria… except for the pesky “is not Sc… http://bit.ly/bENnQW #
  • I almost admire the evil cunning of the "Retweet me to get a chance at one of my 20 Google Buzz invites" people. Almost. #
  • The short film “Logorama” gets an Oscar nomination. (http://goo.gl/MFZ8) – Awesome. #
  • This week's revision-fest heads for the big cancer-goblin showdown. Vayland Rd. [7] — The Fight – http://bit.ly/cDBk6z #
  • Heading home. Another surprisingly good class. Awesome. #
  • Okay, in all seriousness, Buzz is… pretty good. Especially if you use GMail/GReader already. Easier to follow than Twitter, at times. #
  • I have (re)discovered the mute button in Brizzly, and lo, it is glorious. #
  • The Life Aquatic with Clumsy Pete — http://is.gd/8bcDl — most excellent. #
  • Lunch is sitting in my stomach like a stone. A stone made out of sick. #
  • Lining up some visual aids to help Kaylee understand V-Day nuances. http://brizzly.com/pic/1FBM #
  • Adrift: I don’t know what that scan might mean, but I know Deirdre isn’t Scourge. The Scourge. A scourge. Scourgey… http://bit.ly/cMDY1M #
  • Got the complete Farscapre DVD collection from @daphneun… And a box of crackers. Cuz she's AWESOME with the in-jokes. #

  • Random House rejects "agency" price-model: http://ow.ly/16G0J – "What if I train consumers the best scenario is: get it free?” – YES. THIS. #
  • Got the complete Farscape DVD collection from @daphneun… And a box of crackers. Cuz she's AWESOME with the in-jokes. #
  • The picture from my birth-day return to skiing. Auspicious. http://flic.kr/p/7CvTEq #
  • Re: My previous Random House tweet. Am informed the quote I pulled was speaker's opinion, not RH's official stance. So… [1] #
  • [2] When I said, on buzz, "one of them actually gets it", I guess I just meant "one person in publishing". #
  • You know… 'The Peacekeeper Wars' is a really ironic name… except to someone IN the Farscape setting. #
  • Annnnd I for got my effing ski hat. #birthdaysenilityFtL #
  • Pleased to note @daphneun has had her first spill of the day. Let the learning begin! It is, in fact, all about Falling Down. #
  • Kate's off to lessons, and I'm off yhe starter slopes. Just had my first real run in 15 years. FELT SO GOOD. #

  • Protect your privacy from Google (http://goo.gl/Mfxf) – … PERMANENTLY. #
