@feliciaday That’s awesome. So looking forward to it #
@jimboweb cool. I wasn’t sure you were still going. Have fun and say hi to Kristin for me. #
Coffee makes everything better. Except genocide. #
I just read that Caitlin Kiernan wrote a zeppelins on Mars story, like a story I wrote once. But she did far more research – link to follow #

@tdelucci I think I might check it out myself, now. Whenever it comes out. #
I keep having to remind myself that today’s Friday which is nice, but also scary how quickly the week went. #
Some days I really, really wish I could quit the writing. #
@ecmyers – why so early today? Is the company superstitious? #
@ecmyers Long weekend? President’s Day? I do not get a day off… #
Started a beer journal. Drank last night – Southampton Imperial Baltic Porter and Pennichuck Pozharnik Imperial Stout. Both excellent. #

Feeling a bit more like myself today. More than I have in a little while. That’s promising… #
Today might be a White Album kind of day. #
I’m waiting to talk about Lost today. Not in an urgent way. But I always appreciate the insights of others. Not “Others”. #
Hurray! Lost discussion on Tor.com: http://tinyurl.com/cjhz6c #
@edenrobins I had no idea there was such a thing. Is it creamy? #
@therinth Awesome. That’s a great story. #
I’m done with Inspector Lestrade for the time being. Which is something of a relief. #
Put the finishing touches on a story and an article on my lunch break. So far off to a productive start. #
I love that Barcade not only lists their current drafts, but they also link to the beeradvocate reviews: http://www.barcadebrooklyn.com/ #
I’m considering starting a beer journal. Keep notes on styles and tastes of various kinds. One of my pocket moleskines, perhaps. #
I love that @DemetriMartin and @arjbarker are on Twitter. #
@doctorow Congrats! #
After perusing the beer list, I’m ready for a nice porter or stout. It’s making me salivate. #
@jimboweb You can do it. It will go quickly. #

So sleepy today. Work is going to be long and hard. Heh. That’s what she said. #
@johnjosephadams My parents have FiOS. It didn’t blow me away, but that might be their set up. I find the cable channels to be overwhelming. #
@cwtweets I am jealous. #
My new goal is to not post any negative Twitter updates. #
@MaryRobinette Doh! My goal is to post more positively. #
I’m on a roll, I’m on a roll
This time, I feel my luck could change #

I generally believe in Live and Let Live, but sometimes, and I mean this in the non-real way, I believe in Live and Let Die #
@tobiasbuckell Amen #
@jimboweb Wings, of course. The original. #
Lots of people are coughing at work and it’s making me nervous. And for god’s sake, cover your mouth. #
Surely the fact that I’m close to colleagues (though only a fraction of them) is outweighed by the fact that am constantly being distrac … #
By which I mean that I would be better off, and the company would, too, working from home. #
@MaryRobinette Congratulations! #
@ecmyers You have to stay up until at least 9 tonight… #
@chriscallan Yes. It was hiding in a dark recess. #
@pablod I usually see limited edition small pub book versions as Director’s Cuts. VanderMeer does this a lot. #
Mother’s Milk Stout at Vinyl is my new Tuesday night ritual before writing group. #

I ate too much tonight. Now I must go to sleep. The weekend was great but went by too fast… #
It is now Monday. Birthday weekend is over. Time to return to the grind, though happier. #
@lvdpal I was at New York Comicon for the weekend. It was a madhouse,. #
@lvdpal Yes. Exhausting but fun. #
Had a wonderful weekend with old friends and new friends and friends in between. This week will be a bit of a let down. #
Monday morning is not taking. Maybe my telecon at 11 will help. My brain is too fertile right now for work. #
I didn’t know that Jin from Lost was at NYCC. Or Chief Tyrol. I was clearly out of the loop. #
Not a big fan of the new Joystiq rebranding of the various fanboy sites (DS Fanboy, Wii Fanboy, etc). It feels way more generic now. #
Thoughts on the Kindle 2 (at least the specs as announced)? Better than previous iteration? Tech blogs seem happy with it. #
