| 14:49 | Just got a new and pointless photographic toy, one that makes my Lensbaby purchase seem reasonable by comparison. Anybody want to guess? |
| 18:27 | Quick burrito dinner, then A Christmas Carol at @SJRep. A blessedly short Dickens work. |
| 19:00 | This is supposed to be a good thing? http://t.co/EUKLIjJX |
| 20:26 | Do Republicans see Scrooge's transformation as a positive or a tragedy? I wonder... |

| 12:03 | Here's a shocker: Silicon Valley is biased against the not-young. I'm stunned to be employed. http://t.co/au6zJ8qT |
| 13:40 | Thanks for the cell data warning, AT&T. But at 65% of quota on the last day of my billing cycle, forgive me if I don't panic too much. |
| 22:34 | @markusweimer I admit nothing. |

| 08:29 | Starting out to be a bad week. How can I tell? This morning the hot water is freezing cold. Not an auspicious start to the day. |
| 08:46 | Eliminate the Iowa Straw Poll? How else will Michele Bachmann get the national attention she so richly, umm... http://t.co/O8Bxkn7m |
| 14:59 | The benefit of a short commute: went home at lunch, the hot water was hot, and I got the shower I missed this morning. Day's improving. |

| 14:13 | Quite possibly the best remembrance of Larry Hagman. What an amazingly good guy. http://t.co/ORnsJwtO |
| 16:07 | Of course it's the unions who are to blame when greedy, incompetent management destroys a company. http://t.co/mdRb38zu |

| 17:05 | RT @petersagal: Oh, man. http://t.co/mrjwq8LK [Pop up? Really?] |
| 21:49 | Watching BIlly Connelly's Route 66 on Netflix Instant. I love the Mother Road almost as much as he does. http://t.co/fTx2SdJ1 |

| 06:41 | Repug feeling a cold wind from the left? http://t.co/SvF5xHoF |
| 13:35 | Try to imagine this scene with Mitt & a couple of his campaign volunteers. Go on, just try. http://t.co/sYULl3yP |
| 15:57 | If you're not part of the solution (i.e. you shop at Walmart), you're part of the problem. I'm not part of the problem. http://t.co/ZGEvQxex |
| 16:56 | Directing Repugs to Canada? What did Canada ever do to deserve that? http://t.co/YjD80LNE |
| 17:07 | @scapersuse Assuming of course we'd be willing to take them back. I know how I'd vote. |

| 09:17 | Editing madly after my photo weekend in Phoenix. 2283 images total, not that we're counting. |

| 06:49 | Through Security for my flight home. Almost two hours to kill. A Bloody Mary is helping. |
| 09:07 | Web surfing miles above the ground? Still not old. |

| 06:59 | Rental car returned. On my way to the terminal. Today's destination is Seattle. Another user group talk. |
| 12:45 | When did SEA take it's rental cars offsite? One more airport that officially sucks. |
| 21:25 | Small crowd at tonight's Java talk. No surprise so close to the holiday. Still, the folks who were there seemed to enjoy themselves. |

| 09:38 | @MagdaSzubanski Definitely a Furlow fan. Although I loved you in Babe and the few eps of Kath & Kim I've seen. |
| 11:25 | A fine shoot this morning, a good cheap Thai lunch, and now ready for shoot #2. Today's starting well. |
| 20:38 | Today's final tally: six hours shooting three amazing models, followed by a Cajun dinner with model #3. All in all, a pretty fine day. |

| 20:19 | Stood up for a photo shoot tonight. My fault I suppose for expecting responsible behavior from a young model. Hurts just the same. |

| 18:22 | There is no drama like model drama. As a photographer, I know this to be true. |

| 07:58 | Today's lesson: carrying studio lights through Security in Salt Lake is an exercise in frustration. Guess they don't get photographers much. |
| 12:16 | Arrived in Phoenix. No more flights until Tuesday! |

| 06:57 | Dawdling at my laptop when I should be getting ready. First flight in three hours & change. |
| 08:54 | Through security, breakfasted, and at my gate. Settling down to a little work before boarding time. |
| 09:31 | Repugs mad at Mitt for bigot asshattery? Now they're mad? Where were they during the campaign? (Yeah, it's rhetorical.) http://t.co/xHx37nYz |
| 11:57 | First flight landed on time in Vegas. Now waiting for flight #2. |
| 12:27 | Here I go, tempting fate: on flight #2, everything's on time. Pretty easy travel today. |
| 14:43 | Aside from a teeny incident with our bags coming out on a carousel that didn't have our flight number, that was one easy travel day. |
| 19:50 | In case you were wondering, my Java talk in Salt Lake kicked butt. Talked for an hour, plus 1/2 hour of questions. |

| 07:46 | Good news: my Einstein strobes fit into my carry-on bag. See you soon, Phoenix; acts of photography to follow! |
| 13:03 | Just started listening to @kevinpollak's new book. Can see I won't be getting much work done. Funny stuff! |
| 15:42 | Life is so much better when you're delusional, Jill Kelley edition. http://t.co/ELcrTyeD |
| 17:18 | Some jokes write themselves: Owner of topless carwash objects to Democratic values, backs Alabama secession. http://t.co/8ZFRSi9W |
| 21:01 | The NY Times tells Guy Fieri his new restaurant sucks. Really really sucks. http://t.co/QBaT0xqE |
| 21:07 | Just bought a ticket to see @iamjohnoliver on New Years Eve Eve. 2013 will be such a letdown after that. |

| 20:18 | @yakkopinky @ThrillingAdv Make it happen, guys. Please? |
| 21:21 | Truth is so much stranger than fiction would dare to be. Case in point... http://t.co/AkClOU8k |

| 08:03 | @austintichenor The Count? Or the sandwich? |
| 18:51 | In my seat at Flint Center to see The Monkees. Row H! |
| 21:58 | Monkees concert was great. The audience, not so much. Like the guy in Row F who had to give a standing ovation every damn song. |
| 22:00 | And the jerk in Row G holding his camera in the air to capture the concert. And block my view, as well as a bunch of others. |

| 06:42 | I got my first taste of crap UK newspapers when I was 25. They've only gotten worse since then. http://t.co/1b1LxaPG |
| 10:06 | @petersagal My votes would be for From Russia With Love, followed by Dr. No. Connery in his prime. |
| 10:11 | So Florida finally declared a winner, long after the rest of us stopped caring. Now they know how Californians feel every four years. |

| 05:59 | Election day. Hoping my Twitter & RSS feeds ease off considerably after today. Not all I'm hoping for today, but still. |
| 07:30 | There's a line at my local polling station. First time that's happened. |
| 07:54 | If they give me five stickers, does that mean I get to vote four more times? |
| 08:14 | Poll worker apologized for delay & thanked us for our patience. What's a few minutes, especially given what other places are dealing with? |
| 08:59 | @TheLewisBlack Voted in Mountain View, California. Forgive the self-portrait. http://t.co/uOFVaaqe |
| 09:01 | RT @petersagal: I wasn't gonna bother, but a bunch of celebrities on twitter said I had to http://t.co/SHSXhMtl [Always obey celebrities.] |
| 11:57 | Wait! #CactoidJim3012 was on the ballot? Is it too late for me to change my vote? @ThrillingAdv |
| 20:46 | Watching Colbert looking mock-upset at Obama's victory is just so sweet. As if the victory itself isn't enough. |
| 20:51 | RT @Lomara: Does tonight's election results mean I never have to see that douchey Paul Ryan workout photo ever again? [We can only hope.] |
| 20:55 | RT @feliciaday: 18 women senators in Jan?! That is truly awesome. #USA [Not enough.] |

| 14:43 | Harry Reid was right after all. Mitt avoided paying any taxes at all for years. http://t.co/u7xFvOeZ |
| 17:26 | @stephenfry Some of us appreciate your opinions. I certainly do. |
| 19:31 | Every time you think you've seen the limits to the Romney campaign's insensitivity, they surprise you. http://t.co/nzk982rF |
| 20:17 | Okay, Apple, explain the logic of iPhone and iOS Photos showing my pictures in different orders. One's creation time, the other's mod time. |

| 08:41 | A serious question: how does the Mormon Church feel about an ordained minister lying & countenancing lies told in his behalf? |

| 09:24 | Fun night distributing sweets in Los Altos last night. Glad I brought an emergency supply; we went through most everything we had. |
| 10:56 | After #sandy, it's clear to all that Mitt calling FEMA immoral is itself immoral. Even Mitt can see that. http://t.co/RTCVaXHe |
| 20:55 | Yeah, pretty sure Chuck Lorre was right about the censors. And about the uncensored version. http://t.co/1Ut1P9PP |

| 09:21 | @HelloTheFuture Cruise? There's a cruise? Why didn't I know about this? Oh, wait... |
| 15:40 | Wow, talk about your celebrity endorsements! http://t.co/I8WQx41Y |
| 16:43 | Almost time to head to my friend Carol's for candy duty. Got my suspenders on. Just need the shoes and my glorious brown coat and I'm set! |
