  • 01:28:35: Heading home! It was my turn to do overtime.
  • 01:55:42: Just passed a car with the license plate “HIB.” Apparently, the Vord Queen drives a Honda.

  • 08:56:40: @xiehicks That is so absurdly precious! Mommy and Daddy’s little geek girl is growing up in great wisdom. :D
  • 08:56:55: RT @Tabz: Picked up this book “Whedonistas” – personal essays from female Joss fans. http://tinyurl.com/2bs7drr at #gally can’t wait to …
  • 08:57:04: RT @sjcaustenite: Just attended the Whedonistas launch panel–if chicks dig Time Lords, then dudes can dig Slayers, right? #gally
  • 10:24:07: @myyrdneopia What did Ms. Next do to you?
  • 10:33:34: Squee! My class was conveniently rescheduled on the nights @jasperfforde and Pat Rothfuss are in town, so I can attend both! #charmedlife
  • 10:41:07: RT @denofgeek: Does Syfy really love sci-fi any more? http://bit.ly/gKct6S
  • 10:54:49: RT @jul_weiss: Pink Raygun Update: Whedonistas: An Autobiographical Book Review http://ow.ly/1btFHK
  • 11:07:04: @SheckyX Yup. March 15th at B&N in Park Slope.
  • 11:13:35: All caught up on the Alera map shipments! http://priscellie.com/store/
  • 12:01:15: RT @beatonna: oh wait one more thing. How great is this NYPL digital picture archive? http://digital.nypl.org/mmpco/browse.cfm you’ll lo …
  • 12:01:46: RT @beatonna: ah! We had a new yorker cartoon published, but it was in the ipad edition. http://tinyurl.com/65rbleg well there you go
  • 12:09:46: Congratulations, Dr Pepper. You totally failed to grasp what made the Old Spice ads appealing. http://bit.ly/geNlGM
  • 12:23:29: Male coworkers like the Dr Pepper ad. Huh? I’m still boggling at the wisdom of ostracizing an entire gender.
  • 12:24:35: @seananmcguire *plants Oxford Comma flag on my corner of the internet*
  • 12:26:09: @mkcho73 That’s a specialty of the Texas State Fair. Fried Butter. My arteries hurt at the thought.
  • 12:34:57: @seananmcguire Yay coordinate adjective comma rules! Tall, distinguished man–CORRECT. Little, old lady–INCORRECT.
  • 12:51:28: @SheckyX @blazeorama Only compared to a humorously exaggerated, ridiculous ideal. Inadequate != Not smelling of diamond-encrusted kittens.
  • 13:03:56: Coworkers think it would be funny if DrP released a parallel ad for same product with RomCom heroines claiming that it’s a women’s drink.
  • 13:04:24: I think it would be funnier if parallel ad was virtually identical, but with a female action hero. Satirizes idea of “gendered” soft drinks.
  • 13:05:23: @Esperacchius @blazeorama @SheckyX I linked to it in my first tweet on the subject. http://bit.ly/geNlGM
  • 13:09:05: What emotional resonance is Dr Pepper attempting to strike? Do men want something uniquely theirs, which women aren’t allowed to enjoy, too?
  • 13:20:27: @Esperacchius @SheckyX Old Spice ads for women who love men who love women. DrP ad for men who feel threatened at idea of being unmanly.
  • 13:40:27: @kierabot They released a new product, Dr Pepper 10, which they’re marketing exclusively to men. Exclusively being the operative word.
  • 13:47:55: Okay, I think I’ve talked enough about Dr Pepper. Just maybe.
  • 13:52:58: @RobJDurand I haven’t had a soft drink since 1997. :D
  • 13:58:38: @RobJDurand Sugar? More like high-fructose corn syrup and nasty artificial sweetners. I’ll stick with water, thanks!
  • 19:42:34: Lentils: they’re super delicious, guys.
  • 20:03:40: Today’s word of the day: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paraprosdokian
  • 21:20:59: Stopped by B&N to pick up @antonstrout’s Dead Waters, but they were sold out! Requested they order additional copies. Well done, Anton. :D
  • 21:29:51: RT @BreakingNews: Maryland Senate approves legislation to grant same-sex couples full marriage rights – AP // YESSSSS!!!
  • 21:33:09: @antonstrout They said they ordered several copies, which arrived on the 21st.
