The Cult of Lincoln

Tuesday, February 09, 2010





  • 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.
  • 14:01:21: Weatherman Freaks Out On Air Over Snowstorm http://bit.ly/9fJdzm (HuffPo) // I want to put this guy in my pocket, so he can narrate my life.
  • 14:07:45: RT @Lifehacker: TVGorge Brings Dozens of Location-Blocked TV Shows to Users Around the World http://lifehacker.com/5465020/
  • 14:10:53: RT @neilhimself: RT @BoingBoing: Singing "My Way" at karaoke bar in Philippines gets you killed? http://bit.ly/cFwov2
  • 14:37:55: Neil Gaiman confirms Doctor Who episode: http://bit.ly/b8o5uT // *makes grabbyhands*
  • 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!
  • 13:30:27: http://twitpic.com/11ppsk - SNOWPOCALYPSE NYC.
  • 14:53:46: @Beq Exactly. My use of "SNOWPOCALYPSE" was ironic.
  • 14:54:54: Digging Basia Bulat's new album.
  • 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.
  • 15:06:40: RT @jeffeastin: http://twitpic.com/11q9pe - For those asking: The poster mock-up I made and took with me to USA Network when I first pit ...
  • 15:18:06: RT @robertrosspark: Last 2 chances for Goodbye Cruel World 3:30 and 8:00 today! http://bit.ly/9j5Vm1 // Check it, guys! It's awesome!
  • 15:18:42: @Uilos Welcome, Craig's new phone!
  • 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
  • 21:44:24: @xiehicks The evie is an even more wonderful unit of measurement than the Gaiman-Day scale of coolness. http://bit.ly/bgUZ9p
  • 21:59:05: RT @factlets: ??? This week's most popular factlet: How to commit the perfect murder. BBC video: http://factlets.info

  • 23:27:47: @KevinConn MIDDLEMAAAAAN! It's on Amazon! As is the brilliant TV show and the comic book of the unfilmed final episode!

  • 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!
  • 16:19:47: RT @mightykatemusic: here's a widget for you to share with your friends featuring 4 new songs from the new album! - Mighty Kate http://b ...
  • 16:20:00: @mightykatemusic Sounds like the perfect day!

  • 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.

  • 00:37:56: @CUnderkoffler House Cullen is the part of the White Court family tree that got Dutch Elm disease. They call themselves the Glitter Court.

  • 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!

  • 21:15:45: Male coworker with the nickname "Uncle Scabs" is blasting Enya music. Non-ironically.

  • 01:09:35: @SandysBand Is there an easy way to get there by public transportation? HopStop is telling me two hours from Union Square.
  • 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.
  • 10:09:48: @ShannonKButcher Wild! Not sure if auburn and magenta go together, but your beadwork represents such great taste, I'm sure it'll look fab.
