| 15:48 | Gee, did AZ Gov & nutjob Jan Brewer make up story of confrontation with Pres Obama? (Is water wet?) http://t.co/4W1Ke08l |
| 15:52 | Guess my phone interviews went okay last week. Now they want me to come in for an actual in-person conversation. That's good, right? |

| 09:21 | @IsobelCarr Which makes it even more entertaining when he breaks character or barely holds back a laugh. It's the high wire act of comedy. |
| 09:36 | @IsobelCarr I know. How can they miss the snark? Poor conservatives and their irony-deprived diets. |
| 12:26 | RT @maddow: Behind the SEAL team flag anecdote from SOTU: http://t.co/2Q777F7C [Interesting what was left unsaid, and rightly so.] |
| 12:53 | RT @wilw: Soylent Green is people, my friend. [*snort*] |
| 12:59 | @pemalevy What's funny is that I *am* one of those, only Google doesn't think so. Off by two decades. |
| 14:11 | How bad a sign is it if your fortune cookie is empty? |
| 15:27 | @paulandstorm How'd you guys get involved with @thrillingadv? What's it like being part of a cast of dozens? |
| 16:31 | Irony alert: Mac sales are making awful PC sales figures look slightly awful. http://t.co/ox2SWFmI |
| 16:40 | Sorry, should be: Irony alert: Mac sales are making awful PC sales figures look slightly *less* awful. http://t.co/ox2SWFmI |
| 23:25 | @bnacker @paulandstorm @BenBlacker I don't think so. At the Sat night performance, *I* was the one in the front row laughing too hard. |

| 15:35 | @reduced Sorry, but all my spare cash is tied up in debts like every other good American. |
| 15:36 | Looks like claims for massive Jewish support for Romney campaign are as phony as everything else about the man. http://t.co/eJ3NnOFa |

| 17:54 | Nice of Mitt to release tax returns today. Makes the State of the Union so much more compelling. Call it the Romney Rule! |
| 21:01 | @VictoriaDahl This Guy's is a Single Guy? Gee, that's a shocker. |
| 21:41 | @VictoriaDahl Caress your bones? Was that more of that sexytalk I keep hearing about? |
| 21:43 | @IsobelCarr That was great. Wonder what @StephenAtHome was thinking during the Sendak interview. I'd have been busting up. |

| 12:03 | @billprady Gone for me too. It was there when you first posted, so looks like justice has prevailed. |
| 12:21 | Great seeing @paulandstorm onstage with @thrillingadv last night. A small preview of #w00tstock Founders' Night next Sunday. #sfsketchfest |
| 13:29 | @pourmecoffee But if Rush were the candidate, he would have to demonstrate competence, not just vitriol. Not gonna happen. |
| 15:36 | Former Senator Chris Dodd angry at Congress & White House for not being whores like him. #sopa #pipa (Apologies to actual prostitutes.) |

| 09:53 | Sad that Rick Perry's out, even if he wasn't as consistently entertaining as Bachmann & Cain. Can Newt & Ron Paul step up their game? |
| 09:56 | RT @cschweitz: "I have no questions that Newt Gingrich has the heart of a conservative," @GovernorPerry says. [In a box under the bed?] |
| 10:25 | New Colbert Super PAC attacks Colbert, tells SC voters to choose Herman Cain. Wait, isn't that what Colbert wants? http://t.co/3THLTYyl |
| 13:08 | Did Mitt Romney game the laws around IRAs & 401K to reduce his taxes even further? Sure looks that way. http://t.co/9v0JAJSy |
| 16:48 | Okay, new backup disk acquired. Backups have begun on both my computers. Gonna be a while. |
| 16:59 | Gosh, Newt got Food Stamps story wrong? No trips to Hawaii? I for one am shocked. http://t.co/tu04Yr64 |
| 17:03 | @joshtpm I'm guessing they don't count Black dignity as a value that matters. |
| 17:04 | Thought I'd speed up my network with a couple of Gigabit Ethernet switches. Works great on my MacBook Pro. My Mac Mini? Not so much. |

| 15:01 | @scapersuse Mine won't happen this week; I have another call on Friday. But maybe next week. And I'll keep a good thought for you! |
| 19:16 | At @SJRep to see Double Indemnity. Sure hope it's a comedy. I like those! |
| 22:39 | Okay, not a comedy. This James M. Cain guy has serious issues, y'know? @SJRep |
| 23:26 | My backup disk keeps going offline. Not good. Looks like trips to Fry's and Costco are in my immediate future. |
| 23:29 | Oh wow. My browncoat - or should that be brown coat to avoid TM issues - is in the hands of FedEx. Can't wait. |

| 08:21 | RT @StephenAtHome: Wikipedia will go dark in protest of SOPA. Now where am I supposed to find inaccurate information about SOPA? [Try MPAA.] |
| 12:19 | Romney didn't make much in speaking fees last year. Only $374k, enough to put him in top 2% of earners. http://t.co/YNF9RemQ |
| 14:13 | @evanmc_s Only fair. I'd vote for Newt if he rejected everything about himself that's repulsive. Of course, there'd be nothing left. |
| 15:57 | RT @joshtpm: Newt: I'm no racist. I'm an asshole across the board! [I thought he didn't believe in Equal Opportunity.] |
| 16:25 | I hear the Layoff Fairy visited @iStock today. Guess they ran out of ways to screw suppliers & customers & finally had to go after staff. |
| 16:33 | @karimala1 Thanks. Been let go a few times myself, so I feel for the victims. Wonder who'll be left to run the forums... |
| 19:09 | Guess where I am! (So excited.) http://t.co/4mHP0svz |

| 08:17 | @K_Mitre What went wrong? A director who didn't appreciate the material and reinvented it in a particularly horrifying way. |
| 10:38 | @barryeisler @lkblackburne Give special credit to the music. It's more overpoweringly deadly than Rain himself. |
| 10:39 | @barryeisler Then I probably shouldn't say anything about the kitten. @lkblackburne |

| 16:52 | Back to watching Rain Fall. It's a lot like What's Up, Tiger Lily?, only with less egg salad. @barryeisler |
| 18:24 | Okay, it took two attempts, but I finished Rain Fall the alleged movie. Wow. @barryeisler |
| 21:16 | @barryeisler The movie wasn't so bad. If I ignore everything I know about the book & its characters... okay, it still wouldn't be any good. |
| 21:23 | @barryeisler Mine certainly does. Still, surprised I haven't heard of the director expiring due to natural causes. |

| 17:15 | About to watch Rain Fall, allegedly based on the novel by @BarryEisler. Wonder how long I'll last. |
| 18:09 | @KiwiSpyGirl @BarryEisler Yeah, so I've been told. Kind of pretty in parts, although I have no idea what's going on or why. |
| 21:01 | @barryeisler @KiwiSpyGirl Got to the 37 min mark. It may have been a mistake to take a drink every time somebody mentioned The Memory Stick. |

| 03:45 | Couldn't sleep, so what better time to upgrade the memory in my MacBook Pro? (Pretty much any time, really.) |
| 03:54 | My first computer had 48 KB. My laptop now exceeds that by a factor of 350,000. Guess we could call that progress. |
| 03:54 | RT @BennyAce: Only a few more days until we can go back to ignoring Iowa except to confuse it with Idaho. [And Ohio.] |
| 10:55 | @cschweitz So Santorum is proud that he knows more about sodomy than Perry? He would, wouldn't he? http://t.co/D9dlgjIV |
| 18:46 | Glad I don't run my website on Bluehost. One spam complaint and they kill DNS for over a million pages. Ouch. http://t.co/fjQ09q1L |
| 19:08 | @shelbyfero There's a license for putting on pants? I had no idea. |

| 14:39 | Back from Reno. Not a terribly successful visit photographically, but I'm glad I got away. |

| 13:33 | Today's lesson: if you're going to be an abusive jerk, don't leave an email trail. Even better, don't do it at all. http://t.co/BqjEK5SL |
| 16:19 | @VictoriaDahl I'd be thinking, "I don't want to put anything I like in THERE! Scawy!" |
| 20:58 | Ron Paul campaign decides Death Penalty for Gays pastor not their kind of guy after all? http://t.co/OxoxKHy4 |

| 06:39 | Former Amazon engineer on how bad Kindle Fire is & how it got that way. Commenters mostly okay with sucky & cheap. http://t.co/MlvQ5dwY |
| 06:40 | Ron Paul's insane paranoia isn't just an artifact of history. He's still nuts. http://t.co/hgrLAhgG |
| 06:49 | @ClassicalLiber Prudent? Seeing the US turned into Escape From New York doesn't remotely strike me as sane, much less prudent. |
| 06:55 | Paranoid? I don't see the govt as out to get me. Indifferent, sure. Incompetent at times. But not evil. Letting people suffer? That's evil. |
| 08:19 | Off to Reno in a few. One of my models canceled due to illness; we'll see if the other comes through. |
| 17:24 | Perfect score for my Reno photo trip: contacted 4 models, heard from & booked two, one canceled (sick), the other was a no show. *sigh* |
| 17:30 | More Ron Paul weirdliness. We had no business saving the Jews in WWII? There's isolationism, then there's assholiness. http://t.co/Pm7B4w8h |
| 19:44 | AT&T's far from perfect, but using my laptop tethered to my iPhone is much faster & more reliable than this hotel's WiFi. |
