TAX DAY! always my favorite day of the year. which is why i put it off for 6 months. #
HOLY SHIT. Dinosaur feathers found trapped in amber http://t.co/XAH8ecsE (via @andydiggle) #
rather than say hello, my accountant answers the phone with like 5 expletives and then silence. #
to be clear, that is how my accountant answers BEFORE he knows it's me. it gets worse from there. #
i am convinced that dan hedaya could take BENNETT in a fight #commando #
also likely more physically imposing than BENNETT: dan hedaya's wife carla. #cheers #
"Really enjoyed Men of War. Made a nice change from the other 52 releases. Bravo. Looking forward to #2 "-@JamesDRobinson #
INTERNET: what is the fastest/easiest way to create an animated gif? #
FINALLY it cools off. thank you: hudson river/rain/whatever #

last night, in a car headed to brooklyn, i noticed for the first time that you can see the WTC again from the skyline. #
10 years ago i looked down 6th ave to see the WTC burn. standing in that same spot, today, i can see the massive new WTC going up. #
even to a cynic like me, in an extremely shitty time for the world, that building finally going up is a surprisingly hopeful image. #
just looked it up, cause i was sure my memory was off: they put the last WTC fires out in december of 2001. 3 months after 9/11. #
all these complaints about the entourage finale are making me curious to watch. even losing they win. #

poorly expressed an abstract train of thought on reviews, & i apologize. you guys've been especially great this week & i appreciate you. #
i mean that sincerely, reviewers: mea culpa, i apologize. i'm a knucklehead and i like to run a broken thought into the ground sometimes. #
my grandmother's chat status says she's bored, if anyone has a minute. #
the most important word in this text message i just got from @urbanbarbarian is "gar". #
