  • 00:15:40: @SheckyX That video is the most compelling argument to get me to watch old school Star Trek.
  • 09:12:09: @beckyh2112 “Sunshine” by Robin McKinley? I love that book. What did you think?
  • 09:14:10: @longshotauthor I’m stunned that the works of Joss Whedon have not answered this question for us. *gleefully awaits said apocalypsiness*
  • 09:27:56: RT @scottlynch78: New surprise is sprung: QUEEN OF THE IRON SANDS, an online serial novel unrolling at my website. http://www.scottlynch.us/
  • 09:40:12: @MickeydotFinn Would that come with an NVIDIA graphics card?

  • 11:13:39: @tomlenk NYC welcomes you!
  • 13:17:04: Finished the drawings for Alera Imperia, the Marat and herdbane, and the leviathan in the past day. Whee, it’s all coming together!
  • 14:35:09: @terioncalling Oh, wow! Gorgeous!
  • 14:41:26: RT @DerekRuiz: HAHAHA…http://bit.ly/VLRq9 // “The World of Religion.” Hilarious!

  • 16:41:02: @NewMexiKo Want my recipes for Pear and Cream Cheese, Peach Ginger, and Apple and Gruyere pies?
  • 17:35:09: @edeainfj Eee, congrats to your sibling!
  • 18:02:36: @MickeydotFinn Love it! And my boots aren’t from any episode–my costume was of comic book Wendy Watson. http://bit.ly/75uhJ
  • 19:00:01: @ShannonKButcher *glances over at Jim, typing frantically in servitude to the treacherous deadline beast* Dark and tortured. Gotcha.
  • 19:00:45: @ksmccarthy24 *tacklesnugs* Glad the world is back on track!
  • 19:04:22: …Did Ehren just do a Wilhelm scream? ilu so hard, audiobook reader Kate Reading, even though you make Tavi sound like a whiny brat in CaF.
  • 19:07:25: @ShannonKButcher You’re so good to your men! Now I want cinnamon rolls, too. Living above a grocery store is a daily test of my fortitude!
  • 19:09:58: @ksmccarthy24 @Dark_Puck Simple. California is full of stars, and stars are big, fiery balls of burning gas. QED.
  • 19:13:04: …There are mountains north of Alera Imperia? *grumbles and adds them in* Man, why didn’t I do this read-through weeks ago?
  • 19:19:25: @MickeydotFinn I can hurt you.
  • 19:41:12: @MickeydotFinn That reminds me. @LongshotAuthor claimed that FLF would be about bunnies. I assume they’ll play a role in the last 2 chps?
  • 20:00:47: Seamless Web allows you to tweet the orders you place? Wow. THAT’S why some people think Twitter is useless.
  • 20:05:56: Whee, finished the eagle crest!
  • 20:21:35: It cracks me up when people online call me ma’am. Dude, “ma’am” is my grandmother.
  • 23:03:19: RT @lisawalkscom Just 6 auctions left in this batch! Have you taken a look? http://a.lisawalks.com Proceeds to @avonwalks for breast cancer!
  • 23:05:45: Man, my energy level suddenly plummeted. Should finish redrawing Forcian orchards and mountains of Aquitaine, but ZZZZZZzzzzzzzz…
  • 23:06:19: And by Forcian I mean Rhodesian. Wow, I really *am* tired. Also nerdy.
  • 23:33:16: @SheckyX Lord, can you imagine how fast vordbunnies would reproduce? Maybe if Team Tavi needed a *real* challenge…
  • 23:34:27: @SheckyX You just lost the beignets I claimed I owed you, mister. :D
  • 23:40:50: Ooh, figured out a way of representing the Amaranth Vale without looking busy! Think I earned going to bed 20 minutes earlier than planned.

  • 08:01:10: @Esperacchius I know that tune. I’ve conducted that symphony and toured with the New York Philharmonic. My sympathies, man.
  • 08:02:53: I got eight hours of sleep! Decadence! I’ve been averaging 4-5 the past few map-crazed weeks, and that is NOT sustainable or healthy.
  • 08:46:00: @NathanFillion WOOHOO! *feeds the birds* What catchphrase will you popularize next?
  • 13:39:42: @ShipLizard Ask @LongshotAuthor! Related: the new “Electric Company” filmed an ep. outside my apartment last year. My building is famous!
  • 13:42:20: @Esperacchius *jabs you with a tranq dart* Better?
  • 13:45:01: @smuu It’s the world’s most unconventional advertising scheme. Tina Fey has a truly devious mind.
  • 13:46:35: You know what? I like adverbs. Adverbiphobes can bite me. Repeatedly.
  • 13:52:40: Gah. So much text in Ceres and the Amaranth Vale, I barely have room for the geographic features. Not how maps work, Priscilla. *tweaks*
  • 13:53:51: @Dark_Puck As @ksmccarthy24 to show you the “Adverbs are truly evil” shirt her mom made. :D
  • 15:07:10: @terioncalling Please tell me you’re going to be giving us frequent status updates! I can’t wait to see how this costume comes together.
  • 16:04:51: @SappySwami So. How ’bout them burning lamp shades?
  • 17:44:42: @wilw Ha! I was humming that this morning, as I performed a spontaneous hard drive purge of music I rarely listen to! Fhqwhgads stayed.
  • 17:48:41: @gypsyjr I like her already!
  • 17:53:57: @longshotauthor The Mouse may be scary, but Mouse could take him! Shame it’s too late to make jokes about Wardens and pantsless ducks. :D
  • 18:27:27: @avarielwings @longshotauthor Pfft, Mister could take Demonreach. The Mouse is no contest.
  • 18:29:49: Hmm. Both of my peripherals that are unable to talk to my Mac are using the same cable. Wonder if they’ll work if I use a different one…
  • 18:53:31: @horsehearted *catcalls*
  • 18:58:42: @ksmccarthy24 *hugs* You ok? *offers chocolate, ponies, and Invidia dancing with the Master to “I Can’t Decide”*
  • 19:05:27: @SheckyX @horsehearted *boggles* Wow, I fail. I mistakenly thought catcalls could be positive or negative, as long as they were lecherous.
  • 19:26:08: Different cable didn’t work. Now on phone with Apple. Their wait music is “Video” by India.Arie! I approve, Apple.
  • 19:45:45: @ksmccarthy24 *hugs you and Toby for good measure* I’m on, if you need virtual schnoogling.
  • 19:54:12: @longshotauthor Others have done worse. “Jim Butcher: He’s not as bad as Hitler.”
  • 19:55:58: @eddieizzard You’re going to need a three-day-long massage when this is over. What is the world record for most marathons in shortest time?
  • 21:08:03: afdjklfasjd;fa External hard drive issues–which I’d hoped had been solved earlier tonight–resumed FIVE MINUTES after tech support closed.

  • 13:02:12: @SappySwami Just shared that with my coworkers. Now I’m imagining a very politically incorrect superhero squad…
  • 14:35:50: RT @sarah_haskins: This was my favorite show. RIP, Reading Rainbow. Show ends its 26 year run today. http://bit.ly/CTJWK // Mine, too!
  • 15:12:26: @beckyh2112 Go for it!
  • 15:25:50: @ProfBanks My dad showed me “Baron Munchausen” when I was a kid. I loved it! Good parenting. :D I need to see it again.
  • 15:37:31: @fredhicks @xiehicks She is so beautiful. You done good. :D
  • 16:13:12: @longshotauthor In 9th grade, I wrote a parody about atomic bonds called “Ionic.” I think that says everything you need to know about me.
  • 17:18:40: @anglophile80 A dress made out of money.
  • 17:19:52: @stephanieyee I would love a 4-day work week, too! Heck, I’d settle for just a 40-hour work week. *glares at 9-7 M-F schedule*
  • 17:21:09: Dear spammers, When your username is “tweetadvertise2,” you aren’t even trying. Love, me

  • 18:25:11: @boymonster How much I know, or how much I cracktheorize?

  • 22:55:11: @ProfBanks @longshotauthor Fear not! My posts about Alera stuff either pertain to the map or my re-listens to the Alera audio books. :D

  • 00:20:25: No way! Amazon shipped my order this morning, and it was waiting for me when I got home. And it was free shipping, too! I love New York.
  • 00:21:03: Saw “Viral” at the NY Fringe Festival with @spodalicious. T’was awesome. Thanks so much for inviting me, Lisa!
  • 07:40:27: @OKBJGM I believe there’s an old TV show called “Sargasso Planet” that hasn’t been fully mined yet. :D
  • 07:45:41: RT @scottlynch78: Website Update: The prologue to THE REPUBLIC OF THIEVES. In rtf format, u haz it. http://www.scottlynch.us/excerpts.html
  • 07:47:46: Not sure if I can stand to read @scottlynch78’s prologue, though. Still no release date, as far as I can recall. We wants it, precious!
  • 08:00:26: RT @laughingsquid: review of Snow Leopard in @nytimes http://bit.ly/nOt0V // Wow. WANT. Worth upgrading to CS4? Have CS4 at work–it sucks.
  • 12:54:57: @beckyh2112 The series is going to be seven books long! Because I need a new unfinished series like I need a hole in the head. :D
  • 12:56:24: @fredhicks Odd. At work, Photoshop CS4 is a huge memory hog. You can barely run anything else at the same time.
  • 12:58:01: Hmm, shall I watch Leverage or True Blood during my lunch break?
  • 13:51:44: Yay, a coworker actually noticed that I cut my hair! It only took what, three weeks?
  • 15:03:08: @Requiemm Long lunch? I wish! I can generally swing about 20-25 minutes. The first half of last night’s “Leverage” was awesome. :D
  • 15:16:58: My coworker just sent me this Harry Potter vs. Voldemort rap. Highly amusing! http://bit.ly/pUHpj

  • 17:01:02: @CBSisSlayer730 Come play in New York! We’ll entertain you!
  • 17:07:40: @fredhicks WANT. My work computer only has 3GB!
  • 18:01:53: @beckyh2112 No kidding. Heart was always dismissed as such a lame power, but it’s the scariest of them all.
  • 19:48:56: @SappySwami Nope, second. And it is full of joy and heists and merriment!
  • 19:49:24: @Dark_Puck Someone killed his monkey?
  • 19:50:26: @Dark_Puck Um… picture of Neo with crazy white hair bending a fork, and you call it “Eins Tine”? Yeah, I won’t quit my day job…
  • 19:54:09: @WriteRCastle @ksmccarthy24 Mmmm, waistcoats…
  • 20:05:24: Hrm. How do you draw a circular, seven-tiered citadel that doesn’t look like Minas Tirith? Or a wedding cake? *scribbles*
  • 21:18:20: @ksmccarthy24 Didn’t I tell you about the glory of @beatonna’s comics months ago? Genius!
  • 22:48:12: Ooh. Citadel looks like cross btw a high fantasy city and Frank Lloyd Wright’s Guggenheim. Still needs work, but it’s no Minas Tirith! :D
  • 23:07:51: WOE! “Project Runway” cut my friend’s college RA! This designer was such a fun addition to the show. Alas!
  • 23:09:35: “Planet Earth”: Attenborough is talking about some arctic bird, but I can’t understand what he’s calling them. Sounds like “little orcs.”
  • 23:17:14: @longshotauthor “Broadview” sounds like “not detail-oriented.” Not particularly reassuring for a security company.

  • 00:06:06: D’oh! @Uilos informs me that @liquidsilverbks is an erotic book publisher. Serves me right, blindly retweeting my romance writer friends. :D
  • 00:11:34: @anglophile80 WOW, fantastic!
  • 00:25:24: Mmm. “Academ’s Fury” audio book currently on the “You are not alone” scene, AKA the hottest thing @longshotAuthor has ever written.
  • 07:16:42: @longshotauthor You are truly formidable! Also completely insane.
  • 07:21:45: @gypsyjr Lunatic! Sending us to TV Tropes to look up what you’re referring to? Do you WANT us to lose a fifth of our days? :D

  • 12:48:06: @ShannonKButcher Ooh, what fun. Glad to see you’re keeping things fresh and not letting yourself get tied down in a particular genre!
  • 14:07:17: @SheckyX No, @ShannonKButcher definitely wears a crown. I lent her my Maeve tiara at PhauxCon. :D
  • 14:11:45: @NathanFillion Partly cloudy, with a chance of Fillion! The city that never sleeps welcomes you!
  • 16:59:54: @Dark_Puck I haven’t the foggiest. We have a lot of followers in common, though.
  • 17:00:41: WOOHOO! I do believe I just finished backing up all our female clothing! And it only took me like a year and a half!
  • 17:12:39: @DerekRuiz Wish I’d accomplished that! If so, the project may have taken less time. :D
  • 18:46:38: @ksmccarthy24 Should I make you a Wikipedia page?

  • 21:10:56: @ShannonKButcher *blinks* Carrots? Did I just turn over two pages at once? :D
  • 21:13:54: @AnnLarimer That’s the nice thing about working for a 3D animation company. NSFW = a coworker will play it for everyone nearby.
  • 21:19:56: @ShannonKButcher @fredhicks Wow. And every bad one-liner leaping from my tongue is used in the movie already, I’d imagine?
