17:59 | The Retina MacBook Pro is amazing. Might even be worth what it costs. Or not, but it's too late now. We're already bonding. |

10:49 | So to be clear, Ron Paul did consort with bigots, but he didn't any more, but now he does again? Got it, thanks. http://t.co/6kbyWWABj0 |
11:23 | Note to marketing firms: don't try to trick me if you ever want my business. Today's example, a phony wedding "save the date" announcement. |
13:07 | Oh, FFS. Dell really thinks they're going to convince the world that they'll get tablets right? http://t.co/7YD8tGhG0r |
18:51 | My old MacBook Pro has been getting worse lately, so today I blew a ton of cash on a new retina MBP. So excited! |
18:53 | RT @Decoder_Ring: If you've read Mask of the Red Panda 3 already, may I trouble you to rate it on Comixology? [Already did. 5 stars!] |

05:36 | Crawling through traffic toward O'Hare. Flying home eventually, after 2 days of pointless trade show table standing. Okay, mostly sitting. |
06:45 | Traffic finally moved. I'm through Security and having breakfast before my flight. Expensive, but nothing compared to the hotel. |

09:53 | @TheAshleyClem Let me add to the list of birthday greetings. I was late to the series, but still a devoted fan of it and you. |

12:05 | Surprise! I'm at an airport! SFO this time, where the WiFi she no work. Not impressed. |
13:43 | On the plane for Chicago. Missed getting an upgrade yet again. Even Platinum status isn't worth much these days. |
19:49 | So I made it to Chicago and am now ensconced in the old Drake Hotel. Lovely word, ensconced. |

10:04 | This is amazing: Paul Ryan's austerity budget based on crappy error-prone Excel spreadsheet. http://t.co/eHI7Xs56wP |
13:42 | Having chicken/sweet potato/andouille pie from Niles Pie Company. My tastiest Kickstarter project yet! https://t.co/J8fa7JyTVT |

10:32 | Pakistani musicians cover Dave Brubeck's Take Five. Surprising and generally awesome. http://t.co/f5k3mY8yQP |
11:09 | Checked in for my flight to Portland tomorrow. I'm speaking about Java at http://t.co/2Vsal5QZyN, only fair since they're a Java user group. |

07:29 | 3 hours waiting to talk to Rob, Jess & Tress, AKA Yakko, Wakko & Dot. Worth it, but feel like a zombie today. Breakfast, then Universal. |
16:33 | 7 hours at Universal Studios & I'm done. Fun but crazy expensive, especially with the Front of Line option. |
18:44 | "The History Channel is to history what Dr. Pepper is to doctors." Southern comic reduces The Bible. http://t.co/7mWbbRSJ7l |
20:11 | @TheAshleyClem Love the red hair. The red eye not so much. |
20:12 | RT @yakkopinky: Thanks to all who came to share the joy of ANIMANIACS LIVE last night! http://t.co/3kaaIeu814 [It was the bestest!] |
20:26 | Okay, time for a pledge: no more chili dogs ever. They disagree with me. Violently and quickly. Time to grow up, I guess. |
20:53 | @donttrythis Hope the myth I was in last May finally gets on the air. I've been so patient! |

09:18 | UK medical journal admits they may have been hasty in trashing researcher's work. Only took 150 years to do it. http://t.co/GEbBpaU1Pn |

15:11 | On the plane to Burbank and the #Animaniacs reunion show. So excited! |
16:28 | @alwayscoffee It is indeed. Also available on ustream.tv. |
16:29 | @Lomara I'll keep an eye out for @wetodded. Tell him to look for me. |
19:04 | Waiting for the #Animaniacs show to start. Got here super early to get a good seat not a big deal; this place is tiny! |
19:17 | @Lomara I did get to meet @wetodded. He's a few feet closer to the stage, dammit. |
19:18 | @shelbyfero And yet somehow I keep managing not to. |
20:22 | It begins. http://t.co/andhKXzqhj |

07:36 | Don't think I've ever purchased their products, and now I'm glad of it. Birth control is immoral & unnatural? Really? http://t.co/GuyxwgnIaz |
08:07 | Gordon Ramsay makes a contestant cry, but not how you'd think. I got misty too. http://t.co/wN0aDpv2MZ |
08:09 | @alwayscoffee I like that he's as passionate about what's great as he is about what's not. |
09:20 | "Meet Born-Again Christian Singles like you" There are born-again Christian singles like me? I kinda doubt that. |
15:51 | Just checked in for my flight to Burbank tomorrow. Gonna see the #Animaniacs reunion, live and in person! |

16:24 | @yakkopinky You're all cute, but she's clearly the cutest! |
16:45 | @joshtpm In that case I'm with you. Two spaces better! |
19:08 | RT @DeathStarPR: If you're happy and you know it, you can't be a Sith Lord. [Then I still have a chance? Excellent.] |

17:27 | Seems to be my day for resolving problems on the phone. I'd forgotten how easy that can be. |
17:31 | Decided to upgrade my 5 year old copy of Office Mac. Amazon offered a download option. It was failing. Just about to call. Now it's working. |
18:38 | @VictoriaDahl You're even more adorable than usual! |
19:21 | Happy 85th birthday to Tom Lehrer. And thanks to my big brother Sam for introducing me to his tuneful snarkiness. Or snarky tunefulness. |

09:29 | Relief when none of my stock photos show up in collections like this: (racial misprofiling) http://t.co/Rn8vwO75F7 |
09:31 | Hope this means @MythBusters will finally run my episode. Please? http://t.co/QWGOeE0hBg |
10:12 | @alwayscoffee But it's all backward! Won't reading a backwards book give you a headache 'n stuf? |
10:42 | @joshtpm Did the employees lose? Or just the lawyers who'd get most of the money from a class action settlement? Peanuts for the plaintiffs. |
11:45 | RT @jessicard: if you hate someone, endorse them on linkedin for SOAP APIs and waterfall methodologies [That's cruel.] |

19:10 | Finished @TheLizzieBennet Diaries, so now I'm watching @l7sville. Discovering how amazing @mkwiles is. Zelda is so unlike @TheLydiaBennet. |

14:11 | Today's @Southwest Ding! offers from SFO are to Akron or Milwaukee. Seriously? Not a day early for April Fools? |
15:59 | I remember when most everything closed for Easter. I like this new more secular America much better. |
20:36 | RT @eruditechick: Holy shit, if you haven't checked out the Game of Thrones view on Google Maps, do so IMMEDIATELY. http://t.co/LRd7Gcib85 |

00:13 | @Lomara But I've been enjoying mainlining the series. Did the same with Buffy and most of Angel too. @TheLizzieBennet |
00:41 | @Lomara So I did. Can't do anything about that now though. @TheLizzieBennet |
11:29 | Courtney Milan, I think I love you. Not just because of your version of the Supremes arguments. But that's a start. http://t.co/G321T0Tc0H |
11:36 | Made the mistake of answering my landline. It was a solicitor of some kind, but one too busy to pick up the phone. Stood up by a scumbag. |
15:38 | Today's Amazon haul: Les Miz on Blu-Ray and a new @CAH expansion pack. Because I like suffering when it happens to other people. |
15:43 | Finished my marathon viewing of @TheLizzieBennet Diaries. Best web thing ever. |
18:25 | @TheAshleyClem Loved it, even discovering it so late. It rivals the BBC version. Rest up and get well soon. @Lomara |

10:28 | Worst example of cultural insensitivity ever, Congressional Edition. http://t.co/HEm6pxDGkD |
11:34 | Repugs in Congress angry that sequester cuts aren't just to Dem districts. Imagine that. http://t.co/J4zQTdaN5K |
21:14 | Why did I not start watching @TheLizzieBennet until it was all over? 40 episodes in and completely entranced. |

21:49 | Tonight's pre-theatre lesson: when I order Thai, make it mild. Medium damn near did me in. |
21:50 | Back from @SJRep. The play is called Disconnect, about an Indian call center. Funny and sad. |
