World in the Satin Bag

Here’s my random twitter nonsense for the day: 00:53 New blog post: Twitteriffic Stuffs tinyurl.com/8sskmm # 00:53 New blog post: Merry Christmas From WISB tinyurl.com/8pau5z # 09:44 @Mulluane @SheilaRuth yeah, probably a better idea to talk to the publisher… # 09:44 @Mulluane You’d probably contact the marketing people. # 09:45 @SFDiplomat Do you have a link to the PKD thing? # 09:45 Merry Christmas everyone! # 10:08 @tychoish Chinese is always good, my friend. # 11:45 @Fantasy_Art If it’s buried good and well in my tweet, I’ll just ignore it. If it’s REALLY important, though, I’ll always respond. # 13:16 We’re about to start on Christmas dinner! Or tea as my fiance calls it, because she’s from Yorkshire and they call dinner tea there… # 13:16 And yes, it confused the heck out of me when she kept saying "I’m going to have some tea." # 14:18 I just joined the scifi_writers Twitter Group tgr.me/g/scifi_writers and you can too. Please Retweet. # 14:24 I just joined the sffauthors Twitter Group tgr.me/g/sffauthors and you can too. Please Retweet. # 14:25 I just joined the writers Twitter Group tgr.me/g/writers and you can too. Please Retweet. # 14:26 I just joined the writingblogs Twitter Group tgr.me/g/writingblogs and you can too. Please Retweet. # 14:26 And yes, that is enough spam tweets from me! # 14:37 Tomorrow’s order of the day: Book shopping. # 14:37 Borders, Santa Cruz Bookshop, and Logo’s! We don’t have a B&N, unfortunately, but those three stores are all downtown and all awesome! # 14:38 @ediFanoB I’m going to go through all those book reviews eventually. Plan to make a hug list of blogs to link to and subscribe to! # 15:14 @ediFanoB I assume you speak German, right? I wish I could read German. Some of my posts were picked up on German sites. # 15:21 I think I’m going to do a bit of writing once I finish these two book reviews. I’ve got a story to submit to WOTF and "Door" to finish. # 15:29 @johncramer Re-tweeting is when someone takes a twitter post and re-posts it on their own twitter (at least that’s what I see it as). # 18:10 @Fantasy_Art Well I’m relatively new to twitter so I think the tweet was only a few days old and I don’t recall if I got a response. # 18:11 We’re watching 10 Things I Hate About You because the fiance has yet to see it and it’s a relatively funny movie. No science fiction, tho # 19:38 @tobiasbuckell I knew it. After all those doctors poking you you’ve started to de-evolve back into a neanderthal! # 19:39 @tobiasbuckell Quick, read something highly intellectual to get your human brain back! # 19:39 @KenMcConnell What book would that be? # 19:42 @Mulluane I am not a nut! I’m a rare form of grain, thank you very much! Nuts aren’t nearly as useful as I am! # 19:48 @Mulluane Yes, I am rare and wonderful. # 19:49 @Mulluane Yeah, but being well done just is a good thing. Comes with age and all that. # 19:57 @Mulluane I didn’t know you had a readers gizmo on facebook…send me an invite on FB! # 20:01 @Mulluane Thanks. Don’t know why I’m not a part of it already…but want to be! # 20:03 @Mulluane Aha, so if I’m a part of it you have nothing to complain about! Ha! # 20:11 @Mulluane Well I am now! # 20:12 @Mulluane I just need one more to get my feed…having problems getting it though… # 20:28 Hey Twitter: Join my blog network on Facebook! Please…pretty pretty please. is.gd/dvSM # 20:51 @Mulluane Oh, whoops, I need 20 for stats 😛 # 20:51 @Mulluane What’s really sad? # 20:53 @Mulluane Well that certainly is sad! # 21:18 I’m looking forward to tomorrow when we go book shopping! # 21:24 @Mulluane Not sure, to be honest. Just sort of going to see what deals there are, etc. # 21:35 @Mulluane Will do. I’ll probably blog about all my book purchases over the holidays, since that’s what I’m getting out of my xmas money! # 23:22 @Mulluane Nope, constructive advice is always good. # Thanks for not exploding.

Here’s my random twitter nonsense for the day: 00:57 @ediFanoB He’s backtracking. The Catholic Church had been rather progressive until this new Pope came along. # 00:59 @ronearlphillips Yes, but the Pope doesn’t see a difference between the us killing the world and gay people hugging. # 00:59 This will be my 2,000th tweet. Woot! # 11:52 @ediFanoB I have a problem with that backtracking, because it’s taking us to this screwed up medieval viewpoint that does nobody any good. # 11:52 @ediFanoB And yes, there is a tweet counter. It’s on your Twitter interface, but it’s called "updates" instead of "tweets." # 11:53 Happy Christmas Eve to all of you out there! # 11:53 @tobiasbuckell Is there chocolate in it? # 12:25 Great, now my twitteroo is broken. Just what I need. # 12:33 Alright, tried to reinstall twitteroo. Didn’t work. Getting something else. # 12:40 @Mulluane I don’t want to work from within Firefox. I want to work from my desktop. I never use plugins and stuff. They’re irritating. # 12:46 Trying out Pwytter. Doesn’t have a short-link option and it’s somewhat buggy and non-smooth. # 13:14 Madtwitter and Twitterlicious both have crappy interfaces and no short links. So those are out. # 13:15 @Mrs_Bobcat That is the coolest dream EVER! # 13:24 Testing out Twhirl as we speak. So far I love it. # 13:25 Yes, I will be keeping Twhirl. It might prove to be a tad flashy in the end, but so far it offers pretty much everything I want in one prog # 13:42 Loudtwitter hasn’t gone haywire yet on my blog, so it seems like it will be posting my daily tweets to WISB safely. Yippee! # 13:44 On a side note, I have two books to review at some point today and more books to read! Currently reading Seaborn by Chris Howard. # 13:47 @jesseluna Gah! Sorry, I’m learning how to use twhirl and accidently unfollowed and blocked you…It’s fixed and you’re back to normal! # 13:47 @jesseluna Hope you have a good time in Pasadena, by the way. # 13:54 New blog post: Twitteriffic Stuffs tinyurl.com/9s532h # 16:20 @tobiasbuckell Aww, well that’s sad. I could send you a new roof. It would be made out of old saltine crackers though… # 16:21 @SFDiplomat Oh, I saw that post! Ha! It has been a while since that stuff was put out in the blogosphere! # 16:22 @Colleen_Lindsay I didn’t know she was in Pretty in Pink, but then again I was probably 5 when she was acting. # 16:23 @Colleen_Lindsay On a side note, Molly Ringwald used to live near me when I was in Placerville a few years back. # 16:23 @Colleen_Lindsay Another side note: Molly Ringwald used to occasionally go to my sister’s workplace, though my sis never saw her. # 16:24 We just went to buy all our supplies for Xmas dinner! Yay for chicken and other yummy stuff! # 16:25 And on a completely unrelated note, I am actually really enjoying Seaborn by Chris Howard. Love the writing. # 16:26 Does anyone know which cable stations will be playing classic Christmas shows like A Christmas Story and the old claymation stuff? # 16:28 @SarurunKamui Link me to it when you finish. I like art :). # 16:34 @SarurunKamui If you mean the game, I don’t know. Never really heard of it until now, but I like the artwork and Japanese art in general. # 16:44 @SarurunKamui Japanese art is absolutely gorgeous and totally unique. Hence why I like it. I think for some it’s an acquired taste, tho. # 16:44 I’ve been put in a horrible position. Karen Joy Fowler is teaching a fantasy writing course at UCSC and it just got an opening… # 18:20 @Mulluane Yes, saltine crackers. They make a good insulator! # 18:25 Would folks be interested in me doing a sort of SF Signal style link roundup? I used to do it, but stopped a long time back. # 19:51 @mikodragonfly It would probably be much the same as SF Signal’s thing, but different sources and some nifty science stories thrown in. # 19:52 @SarurunKamui Yeah www.sfsignal.com/ # 19:54 @dafkah Sounds like an interesting premise! # 20:35 @ronearlphillips Haha, I don’t have to celebrate it at the same time! Ha! I get a few more hours of Christmas Eve than you :P…wait…gah # 22:58 @michaelcanfield You know, the sad thing is that that trailer actually makes the live action Thundercats idea very appealing. # 22:58 @Mulluane Aww, you’re lucky! I didn’t get any presents :P. # 22:59 @Mulluane It really depends. Some folks want it around release time, others before. You could ask the author for a preference… # 23:18 @LoopdiLou I’ll be over to eat your milk and cookies in about an hour. # 23:18 @SarurunKamui *gasp* Talk about a cool present! # Thanks for not exploding.
