  • 00:01:34: To @etherius — the general public will see the Alera map on November 24th, when the book is published in the US! It’ll be on Jim’s website.
  • 01:03:38: Whew, damage control done! My sister is awesome. <3
  • 08:15:35: @etherius Well, if the map had been made for the first book, I wouldn’t have been the one to make it. :D
  • 09:08:59: @wishingforwzrds @longshotAuthor The cover model is John Paul Pfeiffer. He actually looks more like a Thomas. :D http://bit.ly/18ecEz
  • 13:13:54: @ShannonKButcher It says you are a woman of impeccable taste! It’s high on my “To-See List.” :D
  • 13:17:39: Yahoo’s 10 TV Spin-Offs Better Than The Original Shows suggests Torchwood is better than Doctor Who. Hahahahaha no. http://bit.ly/Yhcr3
  • 13:25:25: @fourteenacross I ADORE The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari! I saw it Freshman year for a Film Noir class. I need to see it again–maybe Halloween!
  • 13:41:15: @DerekRuiz I bet Unemployed Skeletor (@Unemp_Skeletor) could sing it better. :D
  • 13:49:38: @Esperacchius Did Mab ever leave you alone this summer? I feel like Winter never let go up there.

  • 00:00:35: Huh, my earlier tweet didn’t post. Was outside in line, surrounded by people speaking German. Is Billy that popular among Deuchlanders?
  • 01:07:59: Got Billy Boyd for Project Teddybear! @lisawalkscom
  • 01:25:33: @Dark_Puck D’ohtsch!

  • 01:45:29: So what’s this I hear about NASA bombing the moon? Please let the Daily Show headline be “Lunabomber.”
  • 01:49:23: Also, bombing the MOON? I feel like NASA should stroke a white cat while discussing the project. This is comic book villain territory.
  • 02:02:22: GAH! Completely forgot to put the word out–I have an extra ticket for Saturday’s “An Evening Without Monty Python.” Anyone interested?
  • 08:26:25: NASA LCROSS discovery #1: It’s not a moon; it’s a space station!

  • 13:22:13: @lisawalkscom That is SO FREAKING COOL! All my coworkers are mystified as to why I’m gleeing out over a weather report. :D
  • 14:37:45: @beachkid You know he must have the most twisty-minded, creative accountant in the WORLD. I’d read it!
  • 14:38:35: @beachkid And having both an account and a bodyguard named Nathan would be entertaining, as well. :D
  • 14:40:31: Hey, our job server just got accidentally moved! The moon is ANGRY and making us crazy. :D
  • 14:48:04: @beachkid Nooo, not the D:!! Mister Hendricks, tear down this wall!
  • 15:01:44: @beachkid Gotcha. I shall not intrude upon your D:!! wall further. :D
  • 15:04:45: @beachkid Alas, Hendricks is not a secret accountant, but… You are going to get a kick out of “Even Hand.” :D
  • 16:35:53: Hmm. Word of the Day was going to be “antediluvian,” but Charles requests something to do with the food chain. Any ideas?
  • 16:59:33: @sarah_haskins Welcome to the Future! Here, take your complimentary jetpack, robotic companion, and meal in pill form!

  • 19:28:20: I believe I am the youngest person in this audience by at least a decade and a half.
  • 23:55:44: GAK. Must’ve neglected to tell my sister the Alera map was NOT to be shared with others. Damage control!

  • 00:02:24: Hmm. If you have a long conversation between two women, but dating is mentioned briefly, does it still satisfy the Bechdel Test?
  • 00:12:17: @beachkid Yup.
  • 01:33:54: Posted videos of Katy Pfaffl’s gig last night to YouTube: http://bit.ly/1gKPsA Loooooove her. (Attn @fourteenAcross and @ravenOfOctober!)
  • 01:35:28: @Uilos It’s been leaving “Leverage”-shaped dents in your skull as I whack you over the head with how awesome it is! Fool!

  • 09:18:06: @gypsyjr Why *wouldn’t* you wake up with “Skullcrusher Mountain” stuck in your head?
  • 10:01:21: @singerneil Quite active. I help run the website.
  • 19:33:26: In the theater with an abundance of coworkers for the Rifftrax Live encore! If only said theatre had sound…
  • 22:17:43: @ShannonKButcher *makes incoherent gurgling sounds*
  • 22:41:15: Mrghle. Sleepy. Billy Boyd’s band’s manager, why did you book a gig for 11:30pm on a weeknight?
  • 22:55:26: Wish I’d badgered someone into seeing Billy Boyd with me.
  • 22:56:01: Despite being in group of 5 coworkers for Rifftrax, I felt isolated in the theatre, being 1 of perhaps 3 singing along to “Re: Your Brains.”
  • 23:37:38: And why do they feel no compunction towards line-jumping me? Like 15 of them have done so!
  • 23:58:46: Despite Poland-level German Incursion, am 7 feet from stage! Triumph!

  • 07:57:06: Dreamed I was on “Project Runway.” Was aufed because my business suit “did not sufficiently advance the goals of feminism.”
  • 07:59:36: This coming from a woman who models underwear for Victoria’s Secret! Also, it’s, y’know, the fashion industry.
  • 08:00:36: However, I knew anything I said to defend myself would be butchered in the edit so I’d look hypocritical instead of the judges. Curses!
  • 08:01:49: @spodalicious Hmm. Wonder if I’ll have better luck on the last night? I’ll definitely try, anyway!

  • 08:01:55: @Uilos The goods are delivered!
  • 08:05:34: Only B&N in the city that has “Unseen Academicals” in stock yet is inconvenient. Also, Eric Idle event canceled. Inauspicious start, Day.
  • 08:07:22: Ah, well. Katy Pfaffl concert is still on, and Katy Pfaffl is liquid joy in a human-shaped mold. And @fourteenacross will be with me, yay!
  • 15:45:10: @ShannonKButcher I searched Jim’s site’s news archives, and he attended in 2006.

  • 08:19:57: @terioncalling They’re very faithful to the first book, but I actually prefer the “Dexter” TV show. Didn’t read the sequels.
  • 15:36:58: @ksmccarthy24 You’re awesome over there!
  • 17:23:12: Some folks did a photo shoot involving pie at work today. Coworkers and I get to eat the leftovers. I love my job!
  • 19:31:25: Feh, working late on Castle/Lie To Me night. At least both are readily available on Hulu.

  • 22:15:26: @OKBJGM Ooh, hope you had a fantastic time! I saw Kooza a few months ago. My jaw dropped a minute in and did not go back up the whole show.
  • 23:26:42: Heading home! Hope tonight’s OT buys me points for when I’m begging to go out for lunch tomorrow to see Eric Idle at B&N across the street.
  • 23:28:02: Also tomorrow: Pratchett’s “Unseen Academicals”! I could use some Discworld right about now. And Katy Pfaffl! Maybe crepes!
  • 23:55:43: Roommate’s mother informed her she is sending me two packs of bindis for no apparent reason. Thank you?
  • 23:56:43: @jimmyaquino Yikes. Sending positive vibes her way!

  • 00:12:16: Oh, man. It’s been so long since I’ve let myself lose myself in TV Tropes. I needed this.
  • 01:24:22: Huh. Guess I have my work cut out for me. Also my retinas. #weakzeugma
  • 01:39:12: We already knew @Uilos was awesome, but… he is ridiculously, universe-conqueringly awesome. THANK YOU!
  • 01:44:07: Have I mentioned @Uilos is awesome?
  • 08:16:45: The fact that I am awake right now is an affront to God and man.
  • 11:49:50: A coworker has “Day Man” from “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” as his ringtone. Makes working Saturday marginally less agonizing.
  • 11:52:45: *stares* My To-Do List is going to take me like 2 hours. Why couldn’t I have stayed late Fri and NOT COME IN TO WORK ON A SATURDAY?
  • 12:01:30: On the other hand, I get paid double time over the weekend, as opposed to time and a half overtime on weekdays. Okay, job, you may live.
  • 12:02:33: Happy Birthday, @viennateng!
  • 12:20:05: @beachkid Once you find it, let me know. In the meantime, I and my default 50-hour work week offer you hugs of empathy.

  • 15:01:40: Woohoo, headin’ out! Off to see “District 9” with @spodalicious.
  • 15:50:49: A young woman, LOUDLY, in the theater: “Who the hell is Gerard Butler?” My brain: “It’s who @longshotauthor pictures playing Bernard…”
  • 18:12:47: “District 9” was incredible! So glad I saw it on the big screen. And to my surprise, the theater was PACKED. Must be doing well!
  • 18:33:39: @fredhicks It doesn’t help that half the characters in the series have names starting with “M.” Be strong, my man!
  • 18:39:38: @Uilos *seraphim and cherubim sing their joy*
  • 18:43:45: Mmm, cozy rainy day. *curls up on the couch with a chocolaty beverage to drink and a fic to write*

  • 21:27:13: @Dark_Puck My 7th grade math book had a problem featuring a dude named Manuel Dexterity dragging his friends’ bodies across the ground.
  • 21:50:37: @ShannonKButcher Good thing it’s not a snuggie. Your description would conjure shades of Cruella DeVille.
  • 22:00:11: @ShannonKButcher I consider them a source of amusement now. Like those bizarre targeted Gmail ads.
  • 22:54:46: @beckyh2112 Sweet, thanks. Would you mind saying so in the comments, so I’ll remember? They’re screened, so only I can see them.
