Mar. 12th, 2009 08:30 pmand now they go past yours via Twitter:
- 21:45 @caviaporcell I,m so sorry to hear about Chico. Not unexpected, but still. He had a wonderful life with you. #
- 21:48 @caviaporcell I miss Bob. I'm glad they'll be together. #
- 21:54 Rigoletto in 6 words: Hunchback versus Duke; just add women. #
- 21:58 I Pagliacci in 6 words: Evil clowns! Run for your lives! #
- 22:57 New Yorker Style #
- 22:58 New Yorker "Style" issue boring, except for Roz Chast cartoon. #
- 23:26 Also in the New Yorker: article about the latest annotated edition of Bram Stoker's Dracula. Done almost completely without reference to... #
- 23:28 ...the place of vampires in modern fantasy. Mentions only Twilight series (roamnce, really,not vampire) and The Sookie Stackhouse series. #
- 01:32 At least no one's going to complain about your spelling if you limit yourself to TLAs. OMG! #
- 02:49 @EmperorNorton That goes with the territory! You should see when pushy rabbits all pile in for some dried fruit! #
- 15:49 books being returned to library: Virtual Evil and Madman's Dance - 2nd & 3rd Time Rovers. More about those later. #
- 15:51 also Death of the New Gods - comic book blech. Almost no plot, just complications without a plot. Unsuccessfully "dark." Only good part... #
- 15:53 ...was Superman. Most of dialog was "prepare to die!" and "Wait, it was you all along!" Nice drawing, though. #
- 15:54 also being returned - several episodes of Twilight Zone done as graphic novels, which works Ok. And handful of usual murder mysteries. #
- 15:56 OK, one doesn't see that many tractor_trailer cabs painted lilac. #
- 16:11 ah, the WashPost as local paper for the Pentagon. Today, a full-page ad for the "combat-ready Super Hornet Block II" fighter plane. #
