| 13:50 | So does this make Leia a Disney princess? First one to almost have a thing with her brother, right? |
| 14:47 | Dammit! Retweeted the wrong tweet! Sure hope that Untweet option actually works... |

| 09:47 | I like pie, and my friend Andy says they make good pie. So I just backed Niles Pie Company on @Kickstarter http://t.co/52mCYkEF |
| 09:53 | RT @meatflag: "Did we say impartial expert? We meant puppet, still besties? " http://t.co/LqLJzME7 [Impartiality is so subjective.] |
| 10:05 | MSFT CEO Ballmer channels Obi-Wan Kenobi: "These aren't the tablets you're looking for." http://t.co/X6piM6Rc |
| 14:23 | @montalvoarts Loved @reduced. Laughed myself silly, and enjoyed my brief chat with the cast afterward. |
| 16:34 | @cschweitz How can you be lonely with all of us tweeters just an Internet connection away? |
| 17:50 | @paulandstorm [P] If it comes down to cannibalism, remember that the younger children are probably more tender. Older are meatier, though. |
| 18:11 | @Sheila_DFT @VictoriaDahl Not true: WIlly Wonka (the Gene Wilder version), Chitty Chitty Bang Bang both better films than the books. |
| 19:36 | The @ThrillingAdv behind the scenes podcast episode was almost as much fun as the real episodes. Almost. |
| 19:38 | Jeeze, Mitt and Paul. You really are shameless. http://t.co/0zd8jhaX |
| 19:59 | Whenever people talk about government waste and too-high taxes, I think of all the resources we pull together in moments like this. #sandy |

| 15:02 | Back in June Mitt called federal disaster relief immoral. With Sandy bearing down, think he still believes that? http://t.co/VlCVKHPa |
| 15:06 | RT @ChuckWendig: Joss Whedon endorses Mitt Romney, ladies and gents. Let him tell you why. https://t.co/SUYRPR23 [Say it ain't so, Joss.] |
| 15:32 | RT @ebertchicago: Hollywood liberal Joss Whedon endorses Romney. http://t.co/cFyTgvLy [Et tu, Roger?] |
| 16:20 | Sunday afternoon before Halloween is not a good time to visit a Halloween store. What was I thinking? |
| 18:30 | Chrysler suggests strongly that Mitt's a lying sack of excrement. No, they're not moving Jeep production from the US. http://t.co/YQDvw7PG |
| 18:42 | RT @InvisibleObama: It's nice to see the US has ways of shutting things down when getting violated by a hurricane. [Burn!] |
| 18:56 | The Romney campaign knows its Jeep ad is a lie, yet they won't stop running it. Maybe Shepard Fairey should do a Mitt poster called Trust. |

| 07:21 | 'I’ve never been given instructions on how to exit “other stores”.' (Oh, MSFT.) http://t.co/zPcY6fO9 |
| 09:40 | Good essay by @PFTompkins on his support for #Obama2012. A decent man trying to do the right thing & often succeeding. http://t.co/K8xgyW93 |
| 17:57 | Today is my mom's birthday. You still have birthdays after you're not alive, right? I mean, what's the point otherwise? (Miss you, mom.) |
| 17:59 | How can anybody resist a plea for money from @pagetpaget? I certainly can't. And couldn't. And didn't. http://t.co/hFYl0DO5 @ThrillingAdv |
| 18:32 | Off to @montalvoarts to see the @reduced America show. Sure hope they can keep the lights on this time. |
| 19:04 | Oh, good. So far the lights are on at @montalvoarts. It's the little things, you know? @reduced |
| 21:06 | Intermission at @reduced. Feels like a lot of new material, but I could be misremembering. High-larious. (Begone, autocorrect.) |
| 21:14 | RT @reduced: @disorderly We're putting that on our new posters: "High-ate rival!" [Gorram autocorrect!] |

| 07:26 | Via @JoelMcHale & others, why I turned out the way I did. http://t.co/kawLteIr |
| 09:20 | As governor, Romney ordered discrimination against children of gay couples. Not right on paper. Not right in fact. http://t.co/Q3cpFfIq |
| 09:23 | Sununu's probably right. Powell supports Obama because they're both black. And Sununu supports fatuous white assholes. http://t.co/bAcFGLjN |
| 15:27 | MSFT: "We would have gotten away with it if it wasn't for those meddling kids!" (Way to rationalize, guys.) http://t.co/UnUOwqCe |
| 20:47 | Yeah, what he said. (Chuck Lorre's vanity card from Thursday night's #TBBT) http://t.co/j8GMYYe9 |

| 20:14 | I had to create a 2nd Kickstarter account, but I just made another pledge to @ThrillingAdv. Want to be in the audience for the concert film! |

| 13:15 | In Italy they jail scientists for being wrong. Here in the US we ignore them, the way God and the GOP intended. http://t.co/mbO3Q7Z8 |
| 13:18 | RT @bnacker: did you hear Romney hates our kickstarter? http://t.co/U3ZkYzqn #DelaneyBait [And so he should.] |
| 17:59 | @paulandstorm [S] Ann Romney is the *real* supervillain behind the supervillain? |
| 18:22 | Watch comic book writer @Sonnova be funny and scattered as he attempts to praise @ThrillingAdv. No praise too extreme. http://t.co/OniuFnEY |
| 18:26 | Listening to @AustinTichenor memorialize his friend, Ambassador Chris Stevens on the @reduced podcast. Beautiful. http://t.co/BrI7y9Rt |
| 18:30 | RT @paulandstorm: [S] Here's the deal: whichever of them can sing the Animaniacs' "Nations of the World" fastest wins. #debate @yakkopinky |
| 19:28 | RT @foshjorbes: All this trade dispute talk must be giving George Lucas a raging boner. #2012debate [Hah!] |
| 19:29 | RT @Horsesbayonette: Mitt Romney: I can see Detroit from my front porch #debate #BocaDebate [Boy, that was quick!] |
| 19:36 | RT @JustaSunGod: We know, Geography "is" hard http://t.co/wydwmsvd [Oh, Mitt.] |
| 19:44 | Really? @RomneyResponse paid to promote a tweet to me about Obama not visiting Israel? Talk about your money well spent. |

| 09:04 | Got email from brother checking up on me. Seems my tweets haven't been showing up on my blog. Fixed now; Twitter broke their old API. |
| 10:35 | @alwayscoffee I've always used passersby. And my online dictionaries seem happy with it. |
| 12:36 | Kevin Bacon Knows Exactly How To Destroy The GOP's War On Women http://t.co/V1JyUPmo via @moveon |
| 12:58 | Scott Adams of "Dilbert" fame endorses Romney for dumbest reason. If that doesn't put Obama over the top, what will? http://t.co/mR1dws5k |
| 18:32 | Panic at Villa Montalvo. Power failed, so we may or may not have a concert. Quelle horreur! |
| 18:50 | Lights just went out at Montalvo. Wonder if Nellie McKay can do an acoustic set in the dark... |
| 19:35 | Gave up on Montalvo and went home. When I left, PG&E was hard at work on the power. Decided the lack of usable toilets was a bridge too far. |

| 07:20 | BTW, we used iOS Maps' turn by turn directions to navigate in DC this past week. Worked great. No #mapgate here. |
| 11:21 | Funny; three finger clicking on Romnesia brings up the Wikipedia definition. Just as it should. http://t.co/563rLujf |
| 11:31 | For George Wallace it was "Segregation now, segregation forever." For Paul Ryan, it's a promise to fight gay rights. http://t.co/Pq7Rj9hR |

| 04:15 | Riding through early morning rain to Dulles. Flying home in a few hours. |
| 07:09 | Just boarded my flight and settled in, only to be told we're delayed two hour due to conditions in SF. I knew things were going too well... |
| 08:54 | 2nd attempt to board my flight going better. Maybe we'll leave the gate this time. |
| 10:07 | Something Is truly screwed up at Amazon. (Deleting reviews.) http://t.co/3wmFDQsL |
| 12:34 | Just flew by Alliance, Nebraska, home of Carhenge. http://t.co/Zq9AJJAe |

| 05:38 | Up at 4:30, drove to BART, soon at SFO for my flight to DC. Gonna be a long day. |
| 06:25 | Line at SFO was crazy. Glad I got here my usual two hours early. |
| 08:27 | Some day I won't be thrilled with inflight wifi. But that day is not today. |
| 08:44 | @ThrillingAdv The only people who don't love you don't yet know you. And what the heck is that about? (Big fan, obviously.) |

| 11:28 | RT @DanaJGould: Today I took all the profits from my podcast and bought gum. [Wait, your podcast had *profits*?] |
| 11:32 | As an ex-Scout, I find their organizational homophobia appalling. Good kids deserve better. http://t.co/uvpVqJi9 |
| 11:34 | My iPhone is randomly starting to play podcasts after some other audio event, like a timer going off. Anybody else? |
| 12:30 | @AnneWheaton I envy you. I'd love to see The Princess Bride for the first time again. And you still have the book to look forward to. |
| 16:54 | Finished a half gallon of OJ since yesterday. Back from Trader Joe's with another half gallon. I did tell you I was sick, didn't I? |

| 13:23 | Remember when being sick meant you could lie around at home and ignore the world? I miss those days, at least as regards work. |

| 10:29 | @alwayscoffee Is it really a spoiler if it doesn't actually explain anything? @trishaleighKC |
| 15:16 | Once again, Verizon makes me feel a little better about staying with AT&T. http://t.co/tPIr7njd |

| 14:27 | @AnneWheaton I've had several models confirm our shoot and then not show up. Never a word afterward either. Do I win? |

| 09:59 | @billprady LTE is better/faster. 4G is AT&T's HSPA+; faster than 3G but nothing compared to LTE. |
| 10:57 | @ActuallyNPH Lost day 3 of Reno Balloon Race last month for the same reason. Frustrating, but day 2 was good. |
| 11:22 | @petersagal No, it's clearly not. |
| 17:51 | Two shoots today. Model #1 showed up right on time and was wonderfully photogenic. Off to pick up model #2 in a little bit. |
| 23:47 | Done with my second shoot of the day. Model delivered back to her lodging, gear all packed. Now I can sleep. I hope. |

| 12:30 | Doesn't matter what you think, Mitt Romney agrees with you. http://t.co/keeCDwHa |

| 10:46 | Lesson from spending 3 days commuting to San Francisco for JavaOne: you do not want to commute to SF. Ever. Also, avoid mixing alcohol. Eep. |
