So this box full of Things came in the mail today, and I'm told I can tell people about them. http://t.co/T9HDxxVA #

Finally starting @ChuckWendig's Blackbirds. Excited! Review to follow. #

Orchids smell exactly like a cavity feels. #

Email this morning informs me that I've been scheduled for mandatory volunteer work next week. Obvious Inigo Montoya Moment is Obvious. #

I thought no one could be worse for a show than Fox. Then NBC replaces @danharmon as #community showrunner. #brittadit #whattheactualfuck #

Best compliment ever paid to a children's author. (Or any author, really.) http://t.co/kzTT7CLC #

The good news: Sean's ear procedure is on Friday. The bad news: no food/milk after midnight Thursday, and nothing at all after 7am Friday. #

Surgery update: Sean is out. He is not amused, but everything went well. #

RT @shitmydadsays: "Politicians don't wanna scare you, they wanna keep you stupid. Fear is just the smell when ignorance takes a shit." #

I would have killed for this as a teen. Hell, I'd be pretty damned happy having something like this now, to be… https://t.co/c5ipXKrP #

Email: "Dear Doyle" Me: *delete* #smallpleasures #

Volunteer recess duty. 25 boys on the soccer field… and 1 girl, sprinting up and down the pitch. Guess who. #mywiltingwallflower #

Also at recess duty: the one kid sitting, reading. Of course he gets wood chips dumped on his head. Of course he ignores it. #beenthere #

That woodchip covered recess reader had two friends who came over and cleaned him off. I like those kids. #

Every time I feel like popping onto LotRO for a few hours, those few hours are eaten by downloading updates. Then, I sleep. Just saying. #

Click to look inside! http://t.co/FAIXmRZN (Seriously, what?) #

Klouchebag score: 'mostly alright'. http://t.co/yPlrV9E0 (I'll have to work harder to get to 'bit of a prat'.) #

That Klouchebag site seems to think I post a fair number of angry tweets. Do you guys think that's true? ANSWER ME! #

My child is a total stereotype. An adorable, classic stereotype. http://t.co/7beuxYcj #

Discussing Skylanders with @wilsonsteve. I need your opinion, Hivemind: would you rate it "crack" or "meth" in terms of addiction? #

RT @Eliza_Coupe: Where are we at with Hoggle from Labyrinth's sexual preference? #

I go for it, Jon. RT @Eliza_Coupe: Dear fictional character Jon Snow, I'm cool w/ bastards & dire wolves. Fictional 3some? You, me, d wolf? #

Just mowed my yard (front and back) with one of these: http://t.co/V4LTynVQ — 1943 is demanding I return its manly sense of accomplishment. #

Never thought I could be so happy, so tired, or laugh so much. Love you. RT @DaphneUn: Today is my fourth wedding anniversary to @doycet. #

Dear toy manufacturers: fuck you. You're lucky this image led directly to my son's untrammeled glee. http://t.co/SOnSrqID #

The aforementioned untrammeled glee. http://t.co/tWQKIpQg #

There is no point in the mainstream publishing process where I haven't found myself thinking of that old saying about making sausages. #

Driving to work; a car throws a huge mass of slush on my windshield, AND MY WIPERS MAGICALLY SPED UP TO CLEAR IT. #omg http://t.co/GB6vYxym #

Habanero, jalapeno, and ghost pepper pizza? This is delicious! Why are my ears ringing? #yowza #

Mass Effect, Tolkein, and Your Bullshit Artistic Process – http://t.co/F4eVOd8p #me3 #

The comments from everyone on yesterday's #me3 post almost counteract the huge karma hit I took misspelling "Tolkien" in the title. #shame #

RT @wilsonsteve: "I have a finite, lifetime supply of giving a crap, and I'm not wasting any of it on football." @doycet. #soproud #

4-day Comic-Con registration: secured, thanks to @daphneun. Very excited. Now to talk to Harper Voyager about book pimpage… #

Mass Effect 3 Ending: Tasteful, Understated Nerdrage (SPOILERS): http://t.co/C5ot39TV via — very intelligent examination of the ME series. #

Guys: if you thought my #me3 #lotr blog was even half-smart, you must watch this video, which is all-smart. http://t.co/K07FQqtK #

Know what I hate? Arguing punctuation rules with editors. Like debating the "correct" place for a sand castle anywhere below high-tide. #

… plus it also means I'm arguing with people I genuinely like, who spend all their time making me look smarter than I really am. #

Strange to me how many Redditors actively maintain Facebook accounts. Like hearing snarky hipsters effusing over the latest Jersey Shore. #

I wish there was a web app out there that took a picture of you and applied Seneca Crane's beard. #awesome #hungergames #

Kids somehow both at school on time. #smallvictories #

Building the Death Star, in Lego, to the scale of mini figs. http://t.co/NNWdkVS0 — this makes my inexplicably happy. #

Finally got a Rainbow Dash in a happy meal toy, and my stupidest daughter claimed it. She doesn't even WATCH the show. #grumble #brony #

Typo in my previous tweet. That shouldn't be "stupidest", it should be "stupidhead". Stupidhead daughter. I mean, obviously. #goodparenting #

Got a two hour nap in the Cardis, waiting for @DaphneUn's plane to land. Feel fucking fabulous, compared to the last week. #
