• 07:14 I decided to go to sleep a little after 10 last night. Nine hours of sleep, bay-beeeeee! #
• 07:27 @sinspired Nooooooo, they’ll never take me alive, coppers! #
• 08:03 Why does Yahoo!Groups always tell me I’m not signed in when it greets me BY NAME in the title bar? I’m signed in, morons! #
• 08:24 @jeditigger I feel like that at work all the time. #
• 08:31 I’m amused at how often the word "creepitude" comes up in my writing outlines. #
• 10:08 Holy shamoley. Mika Merrylark showed me her latest Harry, and it’s STUNNING. I hope she posts it soon, so all can marvel at it! #
• 10:17 @HarriedWizard No, but you’re definitely steeling yourself for a hell-beating in your near future. #
• 10:18 @HarriedWizard Now, whether you will be the beater or the beatee is yet to be determined. I’m thinking both. #
• 10:44 @HarriedWizard @Hellhound4Hire Behave, boys. #
• 11:14 *cackles* Just came upon an ! irate email from months ago, chiding us for our April Fools’ prank. F unnier than the prank itself. XD #
• 11:43 Man, bittenbybooks.com’s server is taking a hammering, and Jim’s Q&A won’t start for another hour. Hope they can handle the strain! #
• 11:58 @blazeorama It hasn’t been posted yet. It’ll go up sometime within the next hour. #
• 12:01 @blazeorama I emailed Rachel about it. She’s looking into it. #
• 12:47 @bigredhusker77 I can’t access the site in Firefox or IE, but Chrome is working perfectly! Do you have access to that? #
• 12:53 @bigredhusker77 Now working in Firefox, too! What browser are you using? #
• 12:58 .@BittenByBooks‘ Jim Butcher/@longshotauthor Q&A is LIVE! If you’re having trouble w/ the site, try Firefox or Chrome. t.co/c57g5AD #
• 14:47 Thanks, @longshotauthor. I’m picturing a motivational poster with Marcone’s picture and the caption, "Live Every Week Like It’s Shark Week." #
• 15:49 @JohnMarcone Should I be making Tiger Beat comments, then? Convince the Discovery Cha! nnel to celebrate Tiger Week, and we’ll talk. #
• 20:23 Doing some overtime to make up for the day the boss let me go early to work on the map. Yes, I took off work to do work. Me in a nutshell! #
• 20:24 Hmm. I want to get Mexican food, but Mexican food for dinner without a margarita is a crime against humanity. I will get churros instead! #
• 20:25 @jeditigger I ordered tacos, tortilla soup, and churros! I’m being good! #

• 07:48 Hello, MOMENT OF TERROR. The vents in my bathroom are connected to the neighbors’, so sometimes I can hear muffled snatches of voices. #
• 07:48 Just now, damp from the shower, brushing my teeth, brain stewing in a fic with creepy, mutually-self-destructive Molly and Thomas scene, #
• 07:48 I heard a loud "HUP!" that sounded like it was coming from the door behind me. I shouted, toothpaste flying, and whirled around, to find… #
• 07:48 Nothing. Then I realized what had happened. My heart is still racing, and I still kinda want to throw up. #
• 07:51 Now I gotta head out to! the Met for the last day of the Alexander McQueen show. But ugh, I just want to sit here until the freak-out passes. #
• 07:57 Holy crap. Riots in London last night. // RT @HeardinLondon: The moment the bus went up in flames twitpic.com/623gp0 #Tottenham #
• 07:58 @ksmccarthy24 "A piemaker always pays his debts!" #
• 08:07 You know what today needs? Cupcake socks. Dear GOD, do I need cupcake socks. And the fashionistas can judge all they want. #
• 08:30 Holy crap, there must be 600 people in this line. It’s like Hall H at Comic ! Con. #
• 08:41 Of course, I get to bypass the 600-person line outside as I am a Met member! Instead, I wait in the 200-person line inside! #
• 08:42 @SheckyX The line winds around the front of the museum and over for a few blocks north. #
• 08:54 @IntempestaNox @SheckyX Heh, I know. I was one of the folks in line at 6am for Doctor Who at noon. :D #
• 10:22 Wow. The Alexander McQueen gallery was BRILLIANT. What extraordinary vision. I am so inspired to design my Vord Invidia armor. :D #
• 10:23 @travelingheidi @lizzwinstead So sorry, I was already in the gallery when I got your message! #
• 10:35 @HarriedWizard I don’t think Alexander McQueen is quite your style. You’re more a Wal-Mart. :D #
• 11:24 I have a one-track mind. twitpic.com/62hpt6 #
• 12:23 @gillyperkygoth So you don’t have to wear the wig any more? :D #
• 12:46 @mkcho73 Not even close. :D #
• 13:14 Cupcake socks, April Smith music, and Alexande r McQueen can’t budge the knot in my chest from my scare this morning. Can Pushing Daisies? #
• 13:22 Mmmmmm, Lee Pace. #
• 13:35 Pushing Daisies and Mara’s Homemade chicken andouille gumbo = success! Good lord, I love every aspect of this show. #
• 13:45 @gkneeisme Big, Muppety eyebrows! *swoons* #
• 13:49 @gkneeisme Very tall! And surprisingly muscular! And with the most devastating smile… #
• 15:09 This is the SECOND spambot I’ve gotten with Anne Fra! nk as its avatar. You are going to the SPECIAL HELL for making me ban Anne Frank! #
• 15:09 @fredhicks After all that con food? Well done, man! #
• 15:36 @aprilsmithmusic I’m fine now! I had a really bad scare this morning, and it was plaguing me all morning. "Pushing Daisies" cured my funk! #
• 15:38 @aprilsmithmusic Your music was the first thing I tried to cheer myself up with. :D I love it! Thanks for your concern. #
• 16:20 @ce_mur! phy @fredhicks Holy cow, it jumped like a thousand bucks in the la st fifteen minutes! #
• 16:30 @ce_murphy @fredhicks …And they’ve soared past 100k! Go, go, go! #
• 17:42 You know what today needs? Luna Lovegood. *puts on HP5* #

• 19:44 @caseyreuter Hee, adorable! #
• 20:16 @Esperacchius One showtune wasn’t enough for you? #
• 20:21 @scalzi I look forward to the inevitable meme of tweeting the purchases of increasingly worryingly-named items. #
• 21:47 @fredhicks I wonder if she’ll get to 2,000 backers in the next 14 minutes? It’s such an awesome project. I can’t wait to get my book. :D #

• 11:31 @jeditigger @RobJDurand I just left a comment ! with clarification on most of the unintelligible bits. :D #

• 14:58 @ksmccarthy24 Ooh, which author? #
• 15:05 @MrsAWiggins05 He doesn’t need an invite, either. He had an account, but G+ suspended him for being not a real person. :D #
• 15:07 @MrsAWiggins05 But he’s back now! Not sure if it’s "for good," but it’s cause for celebration! #
• 15:09 @MrsAWiggins05 Harry, Molly, Ramirez, and Tho! mas are all there! #
• 15:18 @MrsAWiggins05 You don’t need emails. Just search for their names, and they’ll pop up. #
• 15:21 At SDCC, the lovely and talented @kelhound gave me a Molly sketch and a copy of her book, Sorcery 101! It’s lots of fun! Great characters. #
• 15:37 Sorting photos for @BooksForBoobs. Gotta figure out which ones need printing for the next auction batch! #

• 16:54 @sherlockbones Time well spent! #
• 16:55 @myyrdneopia Ramirez away, Ramirez fic! *cheers* #
• 17:29 Watching Project Runway. Man, it’s weird to go back to non-HD after half a year of prettiness. Get your act together, Lifetime! #
• 17:43 @Dark_Puck I think it’s just a local issue. #
• 18:04 Wow. I hated the dress that won episode 2 of Project Runway. The other ! two in the top 3 were stunning! #
• 18:18 @jeditigger I did! I got some DELICIOUS stir fry with beef, baby corn, bok choy, pea pods, pineapple, Chinese noodles, and teriyaki sauce. #
• 18:20 @jeditigger *eyes @HarriedWizard, experimentally snaps scissors* #
• 18:41 @HarriedWizard Oh, nothing. @jeditigger misheard something at a signing and thought Jim said "Harry’s not bald…" *whistles nonchalantly* #
• 19:09 @thecurlymuse @Julie_Butcher @Sh! eckyX It can be yours for a mere $15.99! bit.ly/qhxAAF #

• 19:48 I laughed really hard // RT @Esperacchius: Yeah, I think this is about right. @longshotauthor am I close? yfrog.com/kkdq7mpj #
• 20:10 Remember how ridiculously cute Willie Garson’s Project Teddybear photo is? www.lisawalks.com/ptb2010 #
• 20:12 I got it while he was filming the diner scene in "By the Book." The diner in question is "Remedy" on Houston, mere blocks from my apartment! ! #
• 21:13 Aww, roommate put on the third Harry Potter movie! I haven’t seen this since it was in theatres! #
• 21:14 And hah, it’s a delight to see Fiona Shaw as Mrs. Dursley again after seeing her in such a wildly different character on True Blood. XD #
• 21:28 As much as I enjoy HP3, it saddens me to know that entire Harry Potter books and films exist without Luna Lovegood. #bestcharacterever #
• 21:32 THANK YOU, UNIVERSE. Movie was recorded from TV and contained the preview scene from HP7b with Luna talking about the diadem. LUNAAAAAAAA. #
• 21:41 PROFESSOR TRELAWNEY! Emma Thompson is the best part of t his movie. #
• 21:42 @jeditigger @RobJDurand Don’t really see the parallels between Luna and Molly, except that I love them both to a ridiculous degree. :D #
• 21:44 Oh, Neville. Don’t let Malfoy’s bullying get to you. In a few years, you will be hotter than Tabasco. #
