twitter recap 2011-07-22
my plan to eat 100% at nobu is 33% achieved #
though i stopped drinking by 10 at the latest & was never drunk last night, i have not slept. protip: jack & cokes are full of caffeine. #
tho being awake to bear witness to @jasonaaron reviewing harry potter. is almost worth it. #
dunno what a voldemort is, but from @jasonaaron it sounds hilarious. #
also also @alisonhaislip was wearing like 30 inch heels last night and somehow seems not to have suffered catastrophic injury #
"New books & art daily are hitting the displays here at the TR!CKSTER shop. Swing by & find the things of your dreams" -@TRICKSTER_2011 #
ATTENTION! starting today @TRICKSTER_2011 is the only place to get VIKING, 24seven & THE CROSS BRONX at #SDCC & i will sign them at 4pm! #
more importantly: i'll not have slept & will've been drinking all day, it'll be like going to a signing for a homeless person + @JimMahfood #
also also also: today's 4-6pm @TRICKSTER_2011 signing w/ @JimMahfood is the ONLY signing i am doing this year. & there's a full bar. #
i call today's look homeless mr. howell #
does it make sense for me to go to the wired cafe without sleep or food or coffee? a kind of sense. #
goddamn it all my appointments are set to eastern time zone #
oh, right. "time zone support". stand down, internet. #
alright. all my normal human business is achieved for the day. now i endeavor to shame the land of california. SEE YOU AT 4-6 AT TRICKSTER #
ALSO: you are unlikely to see me inside the convention center today. maybe tomorrow. i love you. #
true story: there are 4 employees making drinks behind this starbucks counter. 1 for customers. the other 3 for themselves. #
ha- @daniel_krall official pringles at the wired cafe as modeled by @choitotheworld's hand http://t.co/3jgUv0w #
lemme describe this ridiculous & awesome sando: pb&j+bacon, cream cheese & a fried egg @deviliciousfood http://t.co/gLscKiG #

twitter recap 2011-07-19
the truth is: i had a really good week. i'd have posted most of the positive stuff anyway. but i'd have bitten my tongue a lot less. #
i had to not swing at a LOT of softballs my LA friends were throwing in re: "carmageddon", for example. #thecallsarecomingfrominsidethehouse #
i have forgone the season premiere of breaking bad to go out in LA with @TheWinterMen which could feasibly lead to an actual meth lab. #
i think i may still be drunk #
i am singing "like a baby" to the tune of "like a virgin". i don't think the baby gets the reference. #
i swear to god the only thing that made this baby stop crying was @kanyewest's MONSTER #
i don't like those batman movies the way you guys do, but that teaser's pretty good. #
AGH I AM GOING TO SAN DIEGO TOMORROW I AM NOT READY I AM NOT READY #
seriously kanye west is like a magical lullaby to this baby. screaming fit immediately stops. 10 min later, head drops onto my belly, asleep #
hey los angeles people: how the hell do i get to union station from culver city without a car? anyone? #

maybe i'm just easily entertained, but watching my nephew's 1st ever bite of food is better than anything else i can imagine doing today. #
baby may now be a junkie for blended peaches. he pushed the spoon aside & lunged at the jar. post-food he is inconsolable, freaking out. #
listen, internet. no offense but i am having the best sunday of anyone. #redondobeach http://t.co/fbJQbUb #
#crabmaggedon #
uh oh. this baby's making a lot of weird noises. #poopsmaggedon #

happy birthday @kellysue #
en route to JFK. kinda feel better not even having pretended to try to sleep before early flight. #
i'm gonna be really early. early enough for an upgrade? #positivityweek #
'couldn't afford a car so she named her daughter alexis' -@kanyewest #
75 min to get through security. @Delta's JFK terminal routing ALL passengers through scanners. opted out, patted aggressively to pt of pain #
here's the creator owned stuff i bought and recommend for this week http://yfrog.com/ki5twknj #
the one airport i don't ever rush to get off the plane: LAX. that will be my last LAX tweet today #positivityweek hello, los angeles. #
somehow my plane got from NY to LA in 4 and a half hrs. might as well have been miami. #
LA people: if you get a chance to try the special kim chee ramen at santouka this weekend, you should do it twice. #
failed to make a list of good restaurants i've been to in san diego for @JHickman, succeeded in making a list of new places i WANT to go. #
whoa, where did that sword of damocles go? it was right there a second ago. #
fox news on the news of the world situation http://t.co/ETNh6cm #
my nephew: screams like the world is ending when i hold him… then when i give him to his mom, he smiles and reaches out to me. #
so apparently, according to @benfritz they are expecting harry potter to make 80 million dollars. not over the weekend… TODAY. #
wait: i don't have to add a person to my "circles", they can still "share" posts w/ me even if i don't know them/haven't opted in? #google #

ladies & gentlemen: wish a happy birthday to my friend & colorist extraordinaire of SGT ROCK, WOLVERINE & all sortsa stuff: @COLORnMATT #
this SDCC i will be appearing as a shorter, less-pale, slightly more homeless looking @mattfraction circa 2006. #comicon #
