Updates for the week of 2010-06-13

  • Y'know what? The Web of Trust "community" can suck it. I feel like a mugging victim who has to apologize to everyone for losing his wallet. #
  • With the entire recently-concluded season waiting on the DVR, it's time to get caught up on "Pacey and Denethor Solve Crimes". #
  • Kaylee's skipping around the dentist's empty waiting room, making up new lyrics for BNL's "If I had $1,000,000". #theindoctrinationgoeswell #
  • Adrift: “The second option” involves flooding the corridor with inert gases. And now the running starts. Oh goody. http://bit.ly/aKY3Va #
  • RT @angelajames: Starz Brings in the Next Chapter of Torchwood http://ow.ly/1Vg4D (we still have to wait another year) #
  • It's hot enough outside that the house A/C (set to keep things at 78 degrees) feels freezing. #
  • Dear self: it's a first draft. Quit being so fucking precious about writing perfect prose and tell the damned story. #
  • Update: Still can't properly spell "occassion" on the first try. Occaision… Occasion? Really? That just looks wrong. #
  • I have fixed the sprinkler system using the time-honored and oft-repeated technique known as Undoing the Stupid Thing I Did that Broke it. #
  • RT @realjohngreen: Where Is Jonathan Coulton's 37 Dollars? A Video about Viacom and Piracy: http://bit.ly/dpd33N (RT if you like it!) #
  • Hello ScribeFire – There will be a more substantive post later. At the moment I’m merely trying out… http://tumblr.com/xdzb73cyt #
  • Adrift: As we run, the Voice continues: “Running was the correct response. Please proceed at your current rate of … http://bit.ly/cFiVX3 #
  • Making "coleslaw": 1 cabbage, 2 t of: mayo, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, spicy honey mustard. 1 or 2 apples. What's missing? Walnuts? #
  • Decided on pineapple as the final coleslaw ingredient. We shall see… #
  • MANIFESTO (http://j.mp/bDQFkx) – Hear, hear. Hear, hear. #
  • Cleaning up outdated/updated links on http://fireflywiki.org. Not to pat my own back, but damn that's a good site. Good show, too. Sad now. #
  • My god, Twitter, what's happened to you? #showmeonthedollwheretheytouchedyou #
  • RT @angelajames: Various forms of comm have turned me into Doug. New email! (Squirrel!). Text msg (Squirrel!) New @reply! (Squirrel!) #
  • Adrift: Right turn. Left turn. Service Ladder? Yes; above the gas is good. Above the gas means we can stop running… http://bit.ly/9kfxLW #
  • RSS Feed Pillow (http://j.mp/9NoMSW) – I find this adorable. #
  • This has suddenly become The Week Where Nothing Works The Way It's Supposed To. #
  • It's a REALLY good thing that this morning was good, because everything that happened after about 2pm today was crap. #
  • Spent [mumble] hours going through a folder full of old blog(ger) posts I'd thought long since lost. February 2001? Really? Dang. #
  • Ahh yes: there's the disturbing, just-before-waking dream image I've come to expect. Time to get up. (Read: "Time to lurch awake in horror.) #
  • The dream? My ex is lying in the middle of an intersection. My daughter is kneeling so as to immobilize ex's head between her knees. [1/3] #
  • Ex must be immobilized to stop any thrashing; she fell while crossing the street with my daughter and tore her face completely off. [2/3] #
  • I am picking her face off the asphalt. I tell daughter keep her eyes closed while I slide it back in place. Daughter opens eyes anyway.[3/3] #
  • Sorry for that, Twitter. Blame @chuckwendig, who asked. Now, I will have some Cookie Crisp, because I've earned it. #
  • Does it come with a Tardis? RT @amberh: #WANT RT @Hicksdesign: 11 Doctors action figure set you say? http://bit.ly/aaZqyX #
  • You smell that, Twitter? *deep inhale* It smells like #WRITING (And maybe weeding the flower beds later, but mostly writing.) #
  • The one where he was kind of a dick about Twitter – › “How about some follow-back love, bro?” – some guy on… http://tumblr.com/xdzbdt68a #
  • RT @cyface: I am contemplating how to recapture "Pilot Episode Magic" in games. Incredible first sessions: how do we repeat those? #
  • RT @AgentShana Love the 10-y.o. boy on scooter: trying to read his new library book as he scoots home w/ his family. (Used to be that kid.) #
  • So I post my little rantifesto about Twitter and a half dozen plastic bullhorn people unfollow me! Message received, I think. *dusts hands* #
  • RT @dooce: Hi. It's June 12th. 48 degrees outside, and we just turned on the heat. The tears are freezing as they fall down my face. #
  • It smells like a hair salon in here. Imma get girl cooties all over me. *scrubs at skin with wire grill brush* #
  • RT @warrenellis: I wish to assure our American friends that, for that performance, the England team will in fact be executed. #
  • RT @realjohngreen: Hey England fans: do you feel as good as I do? Because if you don't, it wasn't a tie. #
  • Warren's tweet illustrates why we struggle in int'l futbol. In the US, we only threaten to shoot people voting for better healthcare. #
  • Ohhhh, Rory. Don't mount the Engagement Ring into the Tardis console when we know the universe is going to CRACK on your wedding day. #drwho #
