Twitter Weekly Updates for 2010-07-18

Time to pry Ray out of bed. #
Made it back from SD again. Just exhausted. #
Trying to get through my e-mail, but people keep sending me more. [Head spins.] #
Looking Glass Wars by Frank Beddor – one of the better retellings of Lewis Carroll; inventive but not especially whimsical. #
Darkly Dreaming Dexter by Jeff Lindsay – 3 gory thumbs up (not mine). Ending went too fast. More scenes, less cute on the epilogue, 'kay? #
Uhhh…this story turned out better than I thought it would. An experiment in world-building. #
The Cliff House: "That’s power, all friendship and sudden threats." #

@ianthealy Should not be afraid greatly: Some are the birth are great, some achieve greatly, and some have are pushed greatly in them. in reply to ianthealy #
#shakespeareinengrish FTW! #
Going through the motions today. I need to figure out how to get from this attitude to somewhere better. #
…And "Just wave your magic @#$%^& wand" ain't gonna cut it. #
These kinds of day are a lot harder when you don't do lots of caffeine. But you get so many more of these days when you do. #
I need to watch more movies. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QEY6_jcrzI8 #
Writing with an outline is like drawing the edge of a fractal using a few simple rules. #
Just so. RT @wwbhjd Little Gods http://nblo.gs/5RsNk #
Okay, okay, the Old Spice Guy is brilliant already. #
@ApexBookCompany I am easily amused. in reply to ApexBookCompany #
Click send! Out the door. #
@DaphneUn I have a significant number of cousins I have never met. I have nth-degree cousins, though. in reply to DaphneUn #
Cliff House is out: "I’ve grown so used to dirty bread that I would miss the taste if she didn’t drop it." #
@DaphneUn My family is close-knit. There are just HUNDREDS of them. in reply to DaphneUn #
@ChuckWendig Mandolines also punish you if you do something stupid. It looked like I flipped off the wrong guy for about a month. in reply to ChuckWendig #
Coming down with a cold, I think. Time for some juice. #
@HumanTextuality That was a pretty funny linking error, actually. in reply to HumanTextuality #
Odd & the Frost Giants – Neil Gaiman: charming but…give me Diana Wynne Jones's Eight Days of Luke instead. #
We Have Always Lived in the Castle – Shirley Jackson: Real horror, not the jumpy outy kind. A masterwork. #
@ApexBookCompany Sheesh. Calm down, will you? Windup Girl is next. in reply to ApexBookCompany #
@catvalente I'll be your huckleberry—zzt, beta reader. in reply to catvalente #
@lablib Always glad to bring someone else over to the Ox side. in reply to lablib #
@ChuckWendig @laurakcurtis I loved my mandoline and it done me wrong! in reply to ChuckWendig #
The inside of this tea mug looks like a tobacco stain. The dishwasher cannot defeat the tea. #
Goodbye, my fair friends. When next we meet, I will have finished a chapter. #
C14 Chance done: "But her father could send her out to pick flowers for the altar in January and she’d come back with *something.*" #
Hungry. Peach salad with fresh mozz and prosciutto. Wooo! #
Sorcerer's Apprentice mentions Tesla and has the guy from How to Train Your Dragon. I might have to see it. #
C15 done. "He was pretty proud of himself until he realized he couldn’t find the switch to open the damned door." #
@DaphneUn I like strange names, like Aloysius. in reply to DaphneUn #
@Dabeak Near…Far! in reply to Dabeak #
Song for the Chance soundtrack: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t0eQL5R3bw4 Yes, it's from True Blood. I didn't know that at the time. #
Another: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NCsHS6ZYfHE Ukuleles and girls with sweet voices. And yet I still hear Tom Waits in it. #
C16 Chance done: "He was yelling at the top of his lungs and his heart was pounding so hard he couldn’t hear himself." #
Another song for Chance: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m6Z_So76zhU Not a big Nirvana fan, and the lyrics don't work, but the tone is perfect. #
@DaphneUn "Mature" MG readers have to read up to YA. The difference between MG and YA seem arbitrary, a market rather than a natural split. in reply to DaphneUn #
@DaphneUn Or that could be an area of useful agenty advice. in reply to DaphneUn #
Okay, time to do yoga and prepare myself for my NOSH experience this evening. Think hungry thoughts… #
Personal rejection from Orbit. Mixed feelings 🙂 #
I think I just burnt the bottom of my foot on a piece of dark-painted metal. #
Quizzing glass: single magnifying lens on a handle. http://www.candicehern.com/collections/04/eyeglass.htm #
YESSS! Choir Boats mentions "Tlon, Uqbar, and Tertius Orbis." #
