• I don't mean to make accusations, but I seem to have lost SEVERAL hours of sleep last night, and I'm fairly certain Naomi Novik is to blame. #
• Boy, AltNation's playlist sounds a lot like bizarre mid-80s remix today. Same bands, but with lead singers swapped around. #

• A ha! Book in question: Alvin's Secret Code, by Clifford B. Hicks. Man, I read the covers off that thing. #

• Hey #comiccon I'm signing Hidden Things ARCs at the Sails Pavilion and the Harper Collins booth today. ARCs are FREE. Just sayin'. #

• Want to hear about the awesome stuff I saw at #comiccon Tough. Check out @50ShedsofGrey instead, because it is funny and dirty and funny. #

• Now on the Twitter header: "Who Unfollowed me?" Who the fuck cares? I have all these other beautiful people to talk to. #
• Sometimes, I think "the blush is finally off the rose; it is no longer possible for a book to keep me up until 4 am." [1/2] #
• Then, I'll open something like Ready Player One, and realize that I am very wrong, very happy, and very, very tired. [2/2] #
• (Ready Player One is also @DaphneUn's most recent free pass to do an "I told you so" dance whenever she sees me.) #

• #comiccon attendees: MAY I RECOMMEND… http://t.co/bGcaECR3 #
• I thought the online #comiccon schedule app was terrible for only its interface. Then I realized it doesn't include THE MASQUERADE. #fail #
• Without the Masquerade on the online schedule, we ended up with a ten-person dinner reservation at the same time. Awesome. #dammit #
• Spotted TARDIS bathrobe for sale at #comiccon Insert 'bigger on the inside' joke here. #
• Hey #comiccon maybe print badges so that the info your security guys think is is So. Fucking. Critical shows EVEN WHEN THE LANYARD FLIPS. #
• I shouldn't be so hard on the #comiccon folks; they must not know any graphic designers. #
• As I said in a recent interview (which isn't out yet), the Hunger Games trilogy isn't so much "Katniss's Story" as it… https://t.co/JLKYci6B #
• RT @DaphneUn: That's my boy! “@JaneEspenson: Tiny Wash curses sudden but inevitable betrayal. http://t.co/CnfZHO7m” #
• Hey Twitter: I'm looking for comics for Kaylee in the same vein as Princeless. Any suggestions? #
• So, @JaneEspenson tweeted a picture of my kid, dressed as Wash, playing with toy dinosaurs. Pretty sure that's some kind of #comiccon bingo. #
• For those asking about the Firefly panel: Didn't get in. Only showed up 4.5 hours early, which is #sdcc speak for "8 hours late." #
• Stopped for evening noms at Broken Yolk Cafe, headquarters for the #hubatcomiccon #ponieseverywhere #
• Word. RT @ChuckWendig: The only real metric that matters when I'm reading a book is how badly I wish to keep reading when I'm away from it. #
• I've wasted HOURS failing to find friends at #comiccon using texts. @DaphneUn's run of random, lucky encounters is some kind of superpower. #
• Seriously: Friday began with the lovely Jane Espenson, a RANDOM STRANGER handing her a backdoor pass into the Firefly panel… [1/2] #
• [2/2] …a spot in the panel's reserved seating, a half-dozen author encounters in the massive Exhibit Hall, and concluded with AMBER BENSON. #
• Every day, we walk out of #comiccon and past a gigantic, outdoor barbecue (with DJ)… sponsored by the History Channel. #rollsanitycheck #
