The Cult of Lincoln

00:11:39: I have Christian Kane's "L.A. Song" on a playlist. Every so often, I'll pause and marvel, "Wow, Elliot can sing!"
00:14:28: @mkcho73 Yeah, Coke "Finals" is probably my favourite spot I've worked on. Shame it didn't get the Superbowl spotlight. :D
00:22:41: I don't get Dodge's "True Blood" dig. Most of the (straight) guys in my office watch it. It has sex and boobs and violence! Manly, grrr!
00:22:49: Unless they were talking about "Vampire Diaries," in which case I understand the need to reassert one's masculinity through penismobiles.
00:22:58: Like James Marsters' need to make out with his girlfriend after snogging John Barrowman. BARROWMAAAAAAN!!!!
00:31:43: Ha! That last tweet got me friended by "James Marsters News." I love auto-adders so much!
00:45:14: @beachkid Huh? Where does Barrowman's masculinity come into the picture?
00:45:25: @beachkid The gist of my statement was "For a straight man, kissing John Barrowman does not feel like a hetero-masculine thing to do."
00:45:43: @beachkid I was making fun of Marsters for feeling the need to make out with his girlfriend afterwards to compensate.
01:05:23: I want to publicly thank @fourteenacross for being a total rockstar, organizing said crazy, last-minute project. Wish I could've done more!
01:24:40: RT @paulandstorm: [P] This is so funny it makes me want to pee on stuff: http://hipsterpuppies.tumblr.com/
01:43:43: RT @mgfarrelly: .@neilhimself, @wilw, @doctorow all hailing XKCD in song form? ...This is the GEEK BOWL. Whom Dat! http://bit.ly/9Z84Lq
02:51:12: @spodalicious Only you, Lisa. Well, maybe @travelingheidi. :D
11:38:09: I feel like a total n00b. Where do you find info on inches of snowfall predicted? On weather.com, I only ever see it on the "Weekend" page.
12:09:45: Ah, AccuWeather.com has snow accumulation stats. Too bad its layout makes my eyes bleed. I don't care if your 14-year-old son knows HTML...
15:07:02: I need to get all of our clients dictionaries. It will be my gift to the universe. "Too much sequence" =/= "too many sequins."
17:28:47: @xiehicks @fredhicks Showed coworkers the Evie vs. Snow photo. They declare her to be absurdly cute. My coworkers are wise. :D
17:39:11: One page on the National Weather Service predicts over a foot of snow for NYC. Another page predicts 1.5-4". Get your story straight.
18:20:32: Woe! Just dropped my old iPod, and now it won't turn on. Thanks for a magnificently musical five years, Lorne!
18:22:05: Ouch. "Lorne." That's kind of creepifying. At least it didn't break on March 29th.
18:32:57: This chart is depressing: http://nyti.ms/pYYEj When I leave work at 7, only 8% of Americans are working. Wonder how many started at 9.
18:34:45: @ksmccarthy24 *tacklesnugs you* The world thinks you're wonderful and amazing!
18:36:26: @SheckyX Lorne is the green guy on "Angel" who ran a demon karaoke bar. Andy Hallett, the actor, died at age 33 on March 29 of last year.
20:29:24: AAAAAARGH. @mightykatemusic's gig starts in TWO MINUTES, and I'm still at work. I told them I couldn't stay late! Leaving now.
22:49:49: Holy mole' sauce, guys. @mightykatemusic's performance was the best I've ever seen her. Such passion and energy! What a treat.
23:02:26: Mighty Kate + Castle = Does it get any better?

00:30:28: @mightykatemusic I can't wait to hear it! It's such a gorgeous song. It's going to be such a treat to experience it live!
13:24:41: I slept over ten hours. I love weekends.

14:55:19: Roommate brought back a bunch of wall hangings and other decor when she went to India for Christmas. She's now putting them up. Lovely!
14:59:43: Sarah Palin takes inspiration from high schoolers who did not adequately study for Civics final, writes notes on hand. http://bit.ly/cXHIjv
16:19:52: RT @laughingsquid: Super Bowl Commercials Song by @mediocrefilms, @JonathanCoulton & @paulandstorm http://bit.ly/cSGHns
16:30:12: Hmm. If I TiVo the Superbowl, so I can just fast-forward through the game and watch the commercials, is it going to start reccing sports?
16:31:43: @hobbitwriter Yeah, I've been awful at maintaining the Book over the past year or so. Only so many hours in the day...
19:16:00: RT @reelmolesworth: good gracous america hav gone mad for BIRD watching everbode is tweting about a Superb Owl wot can it mene? #sb44
19:52:50: @boymonster Good color!
20:08:30: Are any of you guys actually watching the game? Any good ads yet?
21:40:45: RT @travelingheidi, @kerryannphilly You know what would make #sb44 more interesting? If they break into dancing to Single Ladies ala #glee.
21:45:24: @fredhicks @boymonster I'm with Fred. Definite eggplantage going on.
21:59:03: RT @SmartBitches: Flotv: you name a product "flo" and insult women. Wanna borrow my iPad?
22:08:44: @boymonster Only when concerning objects moving at velocities well below the speed of light.
22:14:48: Now watching the ads! Gonna keep tally of how many went through my company. The Simpsons Coke ad? Us!
22:23:17: @boymonster We did a 3D animatic before it was done in 2D. It's pretty different from our version, but they used a number of our jokes!
22:41:05: Wow. Given all the effort that went into the Letterman-Oprah-Leno ad, you'd think it would be funny. http://bit.ly/aERdjg /
22:56:21: The Coke sleepwalker ad! We did that, too.
23:03:31: Why is the NFL using the song from "Where The Wild Things Are"?
23:06:25: Man, it's disappointing that Pop Secret ad was so lame, because I like the "Awesome + Awesome = Awesomer" slogan. Will it meme?
23:34:30: Huh. Guess it was just the two spots. For some reason, I thought our Coke "Finals" ad was a Superbowl spot. http://bit.ly/4xtxa1
23:42:29: @jeffeastin That's a really unfortunate typo, there. :D

01:35:05: See you on the flipside, kids! *flings self into the waiting arms of Morpheus*
11:06:57: @Uilos That schedule is insane. YOU are insane. Looks like "pants" are covered, though.
13:20:13: I feel so left out of the Snowpocalypse. @xiehicks is measuring snowfall in cubits and baby-heights. NY went from 3-6" predicted to 1/2".
13:24:03: @CUnderkoffler Quick, Robin, to the Bat-Barcalounger!

14:57:10: @Beq Hee, no worries!
15:06:22: @jeffeastin *dies* Grammar jokes, FTW! Even more fun than the Demetri Martin and Sarah Silverman "They're Back/Their Back" ads around NYC.

16:09:48: Hey, Tink from The Guild guest-starring on The Deep End! This show has such a geeky cast. Justin from Carnivale, Mac from Veronica Mars...
16:17:56: "Beneath this smoking hunk of horse thief beats the heart of a poet!" "You really mean that?" "In the most un-gay way possible."
16:35:26: D'oh, me. It's not Amy Okuda from "The Guild"; it's Julia Ling from "Chuck." I knew I recognized her from something geeky. XD

00:05:52: @mkcho73 One has a horde of irritating, weak-minded, fanatical followers with no concept of reality, and... wait a second.
00:39:26: RT @lisawalkscom: Check it out!! That's me in the back next to Patrick Dempsey! http://shar.es/aNoFy
00:48:39: Maya just crashed, and I lost 45 minutes of work. Happy Nearly-Midnight, Priscilla.
01:38:23: Heh. A coworker left his cell at his desk. Someone called it four times in a row before I picked it up.
01:38:39: Had to balance "could be a medical emergency" vs. "could be some girlfriend wondering where her guy is...
01:38:49: ...who might flip at the sound of another woman answering his phone, who would never believe I was still at the office at 12:30."
01:39:03: It was the phone's owner, trying to locate it, afraid he'd dropped it in a taxi. Disaster averted!
01:39:45: Don't know who I was kidding on the jealous girlfriend point. Any S.O. of an employee here should be used to absurd hours.
01:57:23: MWAHA! Maria left! I am the last employee on the island! I have won the Launch Survivor Challenge! My prize: Flan.
01:58:36: RT @fredhicks: The final tally on the donations made via @DriveThruRPG to Doctors Without Borders: $178,900.00
03:30:46: Goin' hooooooooooooooooome! 2:30, baby!
09:04:29: Feel tired to the point of nausea. When did the "stay past 2, come in at 11" policy erode?
09:05:25: Coworker chewed me out day b4 yesterday when I came in at 11 after staying past 1. Said "It's just work ethic." Wanted to laugh in his face.
10:36:28: @ShannonKButcher Good news! You can write about pretty. :D
10:43:26: @ShannonKButcher The funnest kind!
10:45:45: Holy shamoley on a stromboli. Twitter says I have 19,992 tweets. That can't be accurate, can it?
10:52:35: @lookupwardsYour employer is very wise.
11:03:18: Friiiiiiiiidaaaaaaaaaaaay. Man, I'm going to sleep so well this weekend.
11:46:45: @Terrormaster 8 hours each day? That's adorable. We never work fewer than ten per day. 50 hour week, before overtime kicks in.
13:16:50: Past noon, and I still haven't forgiven universe for existing. Need sleep.
16:01:58: @Terrormaster 17 1/2 hours. :D More in one day than most Americans do in two!

16:20:00: @mightykatemusic Sounds like the perfect day!
17:54:27: Beautiful! And I love the window treatments--makes me think of pond ripples. http://tweetphoto.com/10479846
17:58:11: Gadzooks, this is my 20,001st tweet! I joined 608 days ago, so I average 33 tweets/day. How do you put up with me? :D
19:20:37: http://twitpic.com/11kgwt - I'm spending several hours staring at this. My eyes are bleeding.
19:41:48: Cilian: *seeing the 1975 release date for Monty Python and the Holy Grail* Wow, this is really old. Is it in black and white?
19:43:23: "It was very peaceful. You didn't talk. That was the best part." --a new coworker whose name I haven't learned yet, to another
20:09:23: Yay, it's 7! Except how today is the day Todd is running his seminar on cinematography, and I should probably stay. Sigh.

00:30:34: @ksmccarthy24 Lucky! Grr, why didn't my coworker with a Girl Scout daughter offer me some? I would've taken some Thin Mints off his hands.
00:37:56: @CUnderkoffler House Cullen is the part of the White Court family tree that got Dutch Elm disease. They call themselves the Glitter Court.
00:38:39: @CUnderkoffler The White King doesn't like to talk about it.
00:48:48: Your daily Mondegreen: I heard Gwen Stefani's "Hollaback Girl" as "Holla Batgirl." I thought those were the lyrics for like six months.

08:37:41: @dresdenfiles So much pretty!
08:44:25: @Uilos I adore Parker. And so do Hardison and Elliot. <3
13:26:46: @blazeorama @Shecky Oh, absolutely. And the reverse! I couldn't decide if it was "This monkey's gone to heaven" or "This monk, he's (etc)."
13:27:31: @blazeorama @Shecky I assumed "monk" was correct, which wasn't as cool as "monkey." Was so pleased when I found my crack guess was right!
14:04:35: @CUnderkoffler Might be a fun "page" to release on April Fool's Day. :D

20:40:46: Time for some overtime! Am I going to be the last one here again tonight? Almost certainly.
21:15:45: Male coworker with the nickname "Uncle Scabs" is blasting Enya music. Non-ironically.
23:06:53: One of two employees left! Who will outlast the other? Stay tuned for the thrilling conclusion! ...in several hours.
23:12:45: ::blasts Brandi Carlile:: SOAK UP MY DRAWLING LADYMUSIC, WALLS! YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT. NO TESTOSTERONE TO SHIELD YOU.
23:17:55: (The 3D pit generally has 17 guys and 4 girls, FYI. It's not used to this level of ovary-tasticness.)
23:24:00: @anglophile80 Fantastic! I just asked my coworker about it today, as he'd been on vacation, and he loves his. I'm sure you'll love yours!
23:31:06: @Dark_Puck Palin is emulating Thoreau, mimicking his famous acts of civil disobedience! She's a maverick when it comes to obeying laws!
23:36:57: New AtLA trailer: http://www.aintitcool.com/node/43877 Do fans have enough footage to make a "Nobody's Asian in the Movies" fanvid yet?
23:46:57: RT @viennateng: Please RT: If you've painted/drawn/sketched a show of ours, we want to use it in the live album artwork! http://bit.ly/b ...
23:53:43: HAHA! I outlasted Rob! I am the ultimate office survivor! Except how Maria is here, too, so there were three of us originally.
23:54:18: I shall defeat her nevertheless! For I have a workload that would make John Henry weep.

01:53:30: Last person to leave the office once again! I am hardcore.
02:49:21: I am so lame. I work until 1am, modeling and painting, and as soon as I get home, I load up Photoshop. Guess I'm in the right field.
02:50:11: Dear TiVo, What the bananas? I *always* want you to record White Collar. Even when it is not actually airing, you should be recording it.
03:00:07: @anglophile80 I had a biology prof named Mr. Geiger. It's rare to enounter scientists with famous scientist surnames outside of fiction.
03:03:02: @SheckyX Don't blame me if your state is time-consuming and difficult to access by public transportation!
03:04:42: @fredhicks She sounds like a college student! Just add pizza.

00:15:36: @Uilos I stayed in the cyber-closet for four years! I came out as Priscilla back in March 2001.

21:04:39: ...except how the theatre is in freaking Jersey. Humbug!
21:21:17: @anglophile80 Absolutely. As cinema has taught us, hotness is +5 against grody monsters. Shirtlessness is +7.
