  • Happy Halloween everyone! We have gotten no work done today, too busy admiring each other’s costumes and eating donuts. #
  • I’ll get more full-length pictures of my costume later…http://www.flickr.com/photos/divajess/2989646592/ #

  • I’ve cracked 500 followers! yay! #
  • Fun fact: I Rickroll myself on purpose, because I kind of love that song. #
  • @greggrunberg Band from TV should play Comic Con next year…would love to see you guys play live! #
  • @greggrunberg Be sure to give me a shout out from the stage since it was all my idea! ;-) #
  • @zeuscomics I’m singing the store’s praises today to someone in my office–are your ears burning? :-) #
  • I want to be Helen when I grow up! http://margaretandhelen.wordpress.com/ #
  • @erindyan Aren’t they awesome?! I want to be Helen someday. #

  • @syntheticjesso I have the older model 701…I’ve had it since right after they came out. It’s pink :-) And it fits in my purse, LOVE IT! #
  • @robotviking and I are watching “It’s the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown” and the sound on the channel keeps popping. grrrr. #
  • @syntheticjesso The default OS is good, but too simple for me. I *love* Ubuntu and it’s very snappy, even on the Eee PC. #
  • @dpaddock I looooove the black bean dip at Gloria’s. It’s so good! #
  • @syntheticjesso Wonderfalls is love!! #
  • Gas at the 7-11 by my office is $2.18! I’m so excited. #
  • @daysies I’m forever forgetting my store cards, so I have to go places that don’t need them! :-) I think by our house gas was down to $2.23. #
  • @eiluned I’m jealous! I keep checking to see if it’s fallen below $2 here. #
  • @Nightcrawler13 That is cool…but that would also assume I would be able to find all my club cards…heh #
  • Anybody else using last.fm? Friend me, I’m papergraffiti. #
  • @daysies Spoiling a MOVIE by reading the book first?! I rarely watch book-based movies without reading the book…movies usually ruin them. #
  • @eswayne Yeah, you’re on there…I don’t know of anyone else we know on there so far. Loving the Scrobble (jailbroken) app on my iPhone. :-) #
  • @jkendrick That HP Mini 1000 looks pretty awesome. I wish the designer red one came in the lower end configurations, though. #
  • @jkendrick Heh, yeah, they’re not that manly are they? But I’d carry it around in a heartbeat! It’s even prettier than my pink Eee PC. :-) #
  • @daysies Look at this way…there are very few ways the movie could make Twilight any worse…lol #
  • So frustrating when a client wants to make changes near/at final delivery that should have been included in the storyboard review. #
  • I have to go root through my closet today for a Halloween costume, ugh. #
  • @lauraehall I thought about it, because I have a dark red suit jacket. But I don’t want to tempt fate. I’m going as a pinup girl instead! #
  • @lauraehall Pinup girl is my easy out…provided I can remember all those vintage hairstyles I used to wear! #
  • Just realized how far behind I am on my outline for NaNo. eeep! Must finish or I will get lost and write my way into a corner. it’s a fact. #
  • @aravisgirl My problem is that I’ll have a great idea, get halfway through, and not have a clue where it goes from there. Planning ahoy! :-) #
  • @lauraehall I am doing a full plot outline & I can tell it’s already going to help me. I’m not a cold starter, or else I’ll fizzle out. #
  • @lauraehall In my mind you can always change the plan up if necessary, but I really like having a framework to write into. #
  • @crisatunity You couldn’t find the right slutty Halloween costume in your size? ;-) #

  • @legacyb4 Print Gocco is like the crafter’s holy grail! I really want one but can’t justify the $200+ if I actually find one. #
  • @legacyb4 Gocco has an underground movement! :) I found instructions for kind of a “Faux Gocco” that I plan on making…much cheaper! #
  • @technosailor Sorry about your shoulder…I hope it heals up soon. I have been having fun and games at the ortho lately too. #
  • ARGH, can’t get to the Codeweaver site to enter my email for the free serial to their products. Stupid Digg. #
  • @leolaporte The Codeweavers team seems to be doing what they can to combat the Digg effect–http://down.codeweavers.com #
  • @lizstrauss Quite a party over at the blog, and it’s only 10 AM! :-) #
  • @lizstrauss I left you a photo instead! (I commented as Jess) #
  • @lizstrauss The party is just noisy, that’s all! #
  • My Eee PC is now upgraded to Intrepid Ibex RC, I have everything I need reinstalled, and it’s streamlined for #nanowrimo! #
  • @zaphodd Nice! It probably was a 901 or 1000, not my little 701 with the 8.9″ screen. :-) #

  • I was one table away from the corner, kind of across from the bake sale table. I live pretty close to the HPB, so I’ll be there often. #
  • @lauraehall That last tweet was for you, hehe. #
  • @lauraehall No, I was wearing the bright green shirt with jeans, red hair and glasses. #
  • I just got four pairs of awesome knee socks at Target. So comfy! I love fall. #
  • @crisatunity My bookshelves may not survive much longer with my bad HPB habits. They are almost full, will need another soon. #
  • @crisatunity A site I haven’t even developed yet! lol It’s for tech-related video podcasts. I am hoping I’ll be able to get it going soon. #
  • @DanielthePoet Ping.FM doesn’t have a dedicated app yet but they do have a nice iPhone interface. #
  • i found the COOLEST camera, omg. I wonder which one Santa will bring me, the Holga or the Blackbird Fly. #
  • @lauraehall Perhaps we could even collaborate! That’d be fun. #
  • I really want a piano. My parents have had one forever and it just makes a place feel homey to me. Plus, then I could play again. #
  • 20ish minutes until I have to leave for physical therapy appointment #2. Looking forward to their giant heating pad–I want one! #

  • Working on plotting my #nanowrimo project, watching @robotviking play Portal, and about to bake some cookies. Yum! #
  • @jacklhasa Look at Liquid Story Binder XE for Windows (though I run it in WINE on Linux) and Writer’s Cafe for both Windows & Linux. #
  • @jacklhasa Been doing pretty well! Busy, but things are good. #
  • Writing, watching Casino Royale with the hubby, and snuggling with one of my kitty cats. I like quite Saturday nights. #
  • er, quiet Saturday nights even. #
  • @lizstrauss What is this crazy “paper” you speak of? :-) #
  • @lauraehall If you can get your hands on a copy of Tetris DS, it’s crazy fun. But I’m a Tetris addict, so…I had to have it. #
  • @lizstrauss Fascinating! It’s like the prototype to Microsoft Word or something. Do they sell this “paper” on the Internet? #
  • @lizstrauss How charmingly vintage! ;-) #
  • @MissMotorMouth I don’t talk to people who harass me. Have a GREAT night! #
  • @MistyKhan um, HECK YES the Longhorns will stay on top this year! Hook ‘em! Oh, and thanks for the follow. :-) #
  • OK, I am a lot more interested in Quantum of Solace after finally watching Casino Royale. #
  • @amyderby That’s what hulu.com is for…you can watch the great parts of SNL and skip the not-so-funny parts! #
  • @amyderby No problem! Why get a TV when you already have a computer? ;-) #
  • @amyderby If we didn’t have a TV I am pretty sure my husband would freak out! But yeah, why bother if you don’t need it? #
  • @mitchellmckenna It’s a far cry from the original Death Race 2000! If you haven’t seen that, it’s hilariously bad. #
  • On a commercial for finallyfast.com they show someone getting the blue screen of death on an iBook. Commercial FAIL! #
  • @amyderby Glad I could be of service! :-) #
  • It disturbs me how much Alice Cooper reminds me of my uncle. #
  • @robotviking Matching white leather suits are neither heavy nor metal either. #
  • Lolling around, needing to get ready for the DFW #nanowrimo Kick-off later today. #
  • @amyderby That’s kind of a disturbing mental image! LOL #
  • @leahjones I hope you make it through without being too miserable. Shin splints are the worst. #
  • Just got home not long ago from the #nanowrimo kickoff at Half-Price Books. Of course I could not leave without new stuff from clearance. #
  • @AmberCadabra I figure out what the points are (not necessarily in order), then I can write them in “chunks” and rearrange as needed. #
  • @lauraehall I must have missed you at the kickoff! Perhaps we shall meet at a write-in. #
  • Waiting for @robotviking to come home so I can convince him to take me out to eat. #
  • There is a holycrapamazing grilled cheese with rosemary potatoes on the side out there with my name on it, and I’m going to claim it. #
  • @keithshapiro Do you think a net will be a good sandwich-catching device? Or should I rope it like a cow? #
  • At Cafe Brazil Cedar Springs waiting on our dinner. So hungry, nom nom nom! #

  • Really craving peanut butter Hershey’s kiss cookies for some reason… #
  • @lauraehall Do you have Elite Beat Agents? It’s cracktastic fun. #

  • OMG my TV boyfriend @greggrunberg is on Twitter! Greg, I love your work on Heroes, but you’ll always be Agent Sean to me. #
  • @Nightcrawler13 He’s a worthy mancrush. @breagrant is in my debt if @greggrunberg brings teh funneh to my Twitter timeline! #
  • @Nightcrawler13 That’s all one can really ask for in the end…to die really cool. #
  • @breagrant I loved you on Friday Night Lights…I was so that girl in high school. :-) #
  • Oh, how do I love my heating pad? Let me count the ways! PT kicked my butt yesterday, I am so sore. #
  • I’m so grateful my job is flexible and lets me work from home when I need to. Driving today would have hurt like hell. #
  • @kyle1point0 Good luck on your show tonight! :) #
  • @yotababy I really want to go to that! I am fascinated by ancient Egypt. #
  • I finally remembered to RSVP for the WP Meetup tomorrow. Yay! #
  • @kyle1point0 Are you going to finally bring a WP blog to the WP meetup? ;-) #
  • @yotababy There’s usually one a month, but I haven’t been to one in a while. It’s fun. #
  • Doing some editing before I shut down early for the day. #

  • @markdavidson Are we going to have to ground you from the Internets so you will sleep?? I WILL TURN THIS LAPTOP AROUND! #
  • My ass feels like it is broken. Thankfully I have my first physical therapy session today to fix my back, and thus cure the ass broken-ness. #
  • @jenharvey Mmmmmm, Salted Nut Roll! Don’t torture me with WW-unfriendly foods right now. ;-) #
  • @paradoxmo Your Dr. Horrible stuff is AWESOME!!! #
  • @jenharvey Me and candy corn don’t roll in little handfuls, more like entire bags. #
  • @legacyb4 I’m pretty sure candy corn is crack-dusted. That is the only way to explain the addiction. #
  • I just ate a really, really big peach. Yum. #
  • I also helped Kelly learn how to wind a bobbin and thread her sewing machine. She brought it into work! I feel useful. #
  • @craftygirl7 Hello! Hope you’re having fun in said cow field. ;-) #
  • @katkl It’s not our fault, we are innocent victims! #
  • Just watched Laser Cats 3-D. Oh Christopher Walken. #
  • Had my first physical therapy session today. I feel so great right now. #

  • @zaphodd Nothing that high-tech. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holga #
  • Downloaded a cool new iPhone app, ComicZeal. The Golden Age comics are cracking me up!! #
  • @keithshapiro Thanks for the tip…I may experiment with my own scanner and digicam for conversion at first. :-) #
  • @davepeterson No problem! I just converted & uploaded a scan using their desktop converter…it looks GORGEOUS. #
  • My herniated disc and I are going to bed before we get too looped on the good drugs to find it. #
  • I WANT PEANUT BUTTER M&MS SO BAD I’D PUNCH MY MOTHER FOR THEM. (Brought to you by International Capslock Day) #
  • Now that it’s cold outside, I want soup and homemade bread. #
  • @zaphodd I think I’ll keep them separate. LOL #
  • @MackCollier Be sure and let me know where I can get one of those Richard Gere lookalikes! I want to be carried from place to place. #
