  • 00:09:29: Nerdy, scientific explanation for why your nail polish bubbles: http://bit.ly/fH4LpG (@lizxphile!)
  • 00:41:20: OMFG. Why is Ticketmaster so difficult?! The Verified by Visa form won't work so I can't use my TWO Visa cards. WTF?!
  • 00:57:19: Tickets for @zoecello's Boston show in March? I HAS THEM! (@lizxphile - I got yours too!)
  • 02:44:28: @ErnestoRiley There are some many different vampire myths, I'm not sure you can call any of them "actual folklore."
  • 02:49:03: @ErnestoRiley The only common thread btwn all the myths is that vampires consume blood/flesh. Societal fears contributed to various beliefs.
  • 02:49:36: @RainbowFrancks I'm missing it! Very cloudy here. If you've got a camera with a long lens... take pictures!
  • 03:16:24: Lunar Eclipse fail for me. It's cloudy here and usteam won't load.
  • 03:28:57: @mausanfon Thanks!
  • 03:30:29: @roguewords That's one of the ones I've been trying to load :\
  • 03:41:57: @mausanfon It's the only one working for me! Awful cloud cover here; can't see a thing. It's also 21F outside.
  • 03:51:52: @roguewords I got the Stargazer one working, thanks! :)
  • 04:26:46: @roguewords http://www.wpbt2.org/stargazer/
  • 04:27:56: @nataliemorales I think a lot of us are stuck watching it on the web due to clouds. :( http://www.wpbt2.org/stargazer/
  • 11:50:58: RT @Eyeko: RT & follow @eyeko to get Kate Middleton's look with Eyeko products!! Winner announced 5pm UK T http://twitpic.com/3i1th7
  • 11:52:44: I need to stop going to sleep at 4am. It's throwing off my whole day.
  • 12:07:59: RT@punslingerr: How would this story sound, were the roles reversed?: Color-blind Thor casting sparks hate-group outrage http://t.co/cMzCeKu
  • 12:11:01: Norse Heimdall is white, obv, but Marvel's Heimdall is an alien. Same pass I gave DBZ. Also, Branagh's been casting "color-blind" for ages.
  • 12:11:40: @YeungJeans Busy being an insomniac? Mostly, just being distracted by the internet and then not sleeping.
  • 12:22:29: @punslingerr Well, technically they're from another dimension: http://marvel.com/universe/Asgardians - I wasn't ever interested in Thor tbh.
  • 12:31:31: I forgot about Eco-spheres. I still want one:http://www.eco-sphere.com
  • 12:44:23: @punslingerr Pretty much. I'm all for proper casting, but when the character is an alien with god powers... eh. I dunno. Whatever.
  • 12:45:03: RT Psych Season 5 Finale Giveaway @buzzfocus @Psych_USA http://t.co/xvEMoaN via @buzzfocus
  • 12:52:01: @punslingerr No, makes sense. Middle Earth is full of white ppl, Airbender is full of East Asians, but Saiyans & Marvel's Asgard are aliens.
  • 12:52:42: @punslingerr I give a big "whatever" to aliens. I mean, unless it's actually a PLOT POINT that the alien is a certain ethnicity.
  • 13:02:51: @punslingerr Yeah, Saiyans are from DBZ. They're giant, planet-killing monkeys, essentially.
  • 13:05:51: @punslingerr I don't mind characters changing ethnicity or gender, as long as the original gender/ethnicity had nothing to do w/character.
  • 13:07:13: @punslingerr By which I mean... you didn't take someone who was struggling with being an Asian American and make them white.
  • 13:15:36: @punslingerr On an unrelated note, let me know if you see any Quorra 3.5" figures out & about. I think they're making their way to Targets.
  • 14:16:01: So this GM challenge is basically the British Leyland challenge, right? #TopGearUS
  • 14:29:17: Okay, I admit this proving ground challenge is pretty entertaining. I still love Tanner the mostest. #TopGearUS
  • 15:53:24: Finally watching the first episode of #WalkingDead! Took me long enough, I know.
  • 16:41:24: I dunno, dude. Taking that long stroll far away from your car sounds like a bad idea. #WalkingDead
  • 17:56:57: Can't believe it took me so long to watch #WalkingDead. It's so good!
  • 20:28:47: Alice is on Syfy. I might be the only one who liked it. I also kinda want to do an Alice costume.
  • 21:09:56: @lizxphile It would be a fun! Especially if I could get someone to be Hatter. My brother must like it - he's still watching.
  • 21:11:59: Schenectady FAIL. Our library system doesn't offer ebooks. Audiobooks, sure, but no ebooks. LAME.
  • 21:17:07: Official library system statement is, "we hope to add them once the market is more stable." WTF more stable?! #ebooks
  • 21:39:30: @haken I'm unlikely to pirate a book I can read free from the library. It's not about piracy or jobs - county just doesn't have the money.
  • 21:55:16: @Haken Actually, that's the problem. Ebooks cost practically the same as printed books at this point.
  • 22:01:31: @haken If ebooks cost less, I'd be less reluctant to pay, BUT if you want to charge $8 for an ebook, it better be drm-free.
  • 22:07:07: @lizxphile I could probably find a similar blue dress & fabric glue ric-rac to it. The coat would be a tough find. #Alice
  • 22:29:47: @haken Piracy is going to happen regardless of drm. If you sell a drm-free item, tho, I'd actually pay for it. I loathe drm.
  • 22:30:17: @lizxphile Cosplaysky.com sells both the dress and the coat! Ack!
  • 22:32:46: @lizxphile The only other females are the queen, Dutchess, and the casino girls.
  • 23:28:41: After restarting and recharging my phone, battery seems back to normal. Still have a full meter!
  • 23:34:49: @lizxphile How about those reflective mirror dresses the casino dancers are wearing? lol #Alice
