this is all i have to say to you, internet: LOUIE is the best show on TV. #
cmon guys stop playing why would there ever be a canada day #
CONGRATS @HaroldSipe @xtop @leeleslie @bustermoody @hectorcasanova (phew) on the SELL-OUT of their excellent first issue of SCREAMLAND. #
usually it takes a couple days to regret a new business transaction. switching back to optimum we got to regret it DURING THE INSTALL. #
anyone remember the sony walkman's debut from when you were a kid? congrats, that was 32 years ago #youareold #
anyone wanna see @nicklein's fully painted killer croc in a GTO? take a look. http://t.co/UeHH8kM (from the JSA 80 pg giant) #

every movie theater in america, please find inspiration here: http://t.co/JXC8zOy #
catching (slowly) up with daily show and colbert on their websites. i have watched the same rogaine commercial about 50 times now. #killme #
also: very very slowly catching up on game of thrones. pretty amazing how much that show accomplishes in each episode. got like 3 to go. #
if i'm not misunderstanding, the thing that greece was rioting against while we were there has now been voted in. http://t.co/Unssfwn #
via my meager means of expression & understanding: greece has taken action that'll likely end in the sale of pieces of greece to creditors. #
anti-carb site no longer anti-carb. hopefully more folks follow his lead http://t.co/xf4uX6Q #
oh THAT's gonna go over well: "TSA's naked scanners headed to Afghanistan – bit.ly/mEnFFQ"-@wired #
for the record i've flown close to 100,000 miles in the last year & the only time anyone even TRIED to scan me was in LAX. #
if there's a "list of 10 underrated bands" and i'm halfway through and they're all terrible, i should STOP listening, right? #
serious question: anyone know of sports-type socks for sneakers that are made in real sizes? (VS the ridiculous "sizes 6-12") #
i guess it's a good sign of how much better things are today that people think "PC"was just about curbing your ability to tell jokes. #
ladies+gentlemen: let me formally announce that most of my public time at SDCC will be spent here: @TRICKSTER_2011 http://t.co/3wBKQpR #
i dunno if it was this week or if it's next, but mine and @NicKlein's JSA 80 page giant story is out somewhere in there. #
there you go, folks: JSA was this week: (thanks!) "it was this week. Good stuff in there"-@Scion_Of_Mogo #
everything i'm reading these days leads me to believe the whole 5-6 small meals a day thing is a bunch of bullshit. #
DO IT PEOPLE "i have decided 210 follows is pretty rubbish…maybe i'll give away a piece of art to every hundredth new follower"-@cjwardart #
and with ACCIDENTAL CHINESE HIPSTERS the internet has been won. everyone else has to leave. http://t.co/fzhQChR #
LOS ANGELES FRIENDS: why do none of you have centrally located mansions that i can stay in? #
conspiracy theorists have faith in unseen forces that'd shame any god-fearing person. #
through mysterious secret forces i have achieved a captain america pinball game. sadly, i lack time to play it. still: thank you, forces. #
TO MY RETAILER FRIENDS: follow @technogreek to get some of his store's unique ideas for the DC relaunch. #
i hurt my leg 18 days ago. still bruised. #
WHAT KIND OF MAN SENDS EMAILS FROM AN IPOD @COLORnMATT #
today was an immersive SGT ROCK day, working in a number of ways on a number of issues. full speed ahead. #

WOW: i tried to buy the new @thwipster deal 14 minutes after it was tweeted and it was SOLD OUT. sad face emoticon. #
RETRACTION: though i got an error saying it was sold out trying to buy THE INCAL from @thwipster, tried again and now it worked. GO GET ONE. #
the first comic i read was THE INCREDIBLE HULK #285 http://t.co/HxHuRxh brought by my grandmother when i was 7 #firstcomic #
protip: no one should ever be as young as @whoajordie #
thank you construction next door. no no, 5 hrs sleep is fine. what jetlag? #
I CONCUR! "people of earth, you must get SCALPED 50 today! MUST!"-@doyle_dcvertigo #
saw & really enjoyed james l. brooks' "what do you know" on plane. rottentomatoes says 69% of reviewers disagreed w/ me, so what do i know #
somehow @andymacdeez, who has been out of the country 1 time, figured out immediately how to get around jetlag. & i tried it, & it worked #
the solution: when you land in new timezone: stay up til its bedtime. even if in my case bedtime is like 9am by your internal clock. #
congrats to my dear friend @JonathanLDavis & to the lovely @lchowland on their marriage. #
newscorp sells myspace for like 5% of what they paid for it http://t.co/vXXuAij #greatjob #
my first interview on SGT ROCK, my first interview of any kind in a while… via @cbr http://t.co/2MYc0jj #
luckily my site decided to be a douchebag right at that very second. sorry dudes. #
it is heartening to know that my home answering machine filled up while i was away but it was all wrong numbers. #
Springsteen's eulogy for the Big Man: 'Clarence doesn't leave the E Street Band when he dies. He leaves when we die.' http://t.co/bGqK8NT #
these are really great: interviews between @Jon_Favreau and harrison ford http://t.co/5Ty01Qc #
.@TRICKSTER_2011 + @Criterion = amazing KUROSAWA tribute: http://t.co/CehoJ2l #
if this adventure taught me anything, it's that paying a little extra for good olive oil is SUPER WORTH IT #
seriously that might've seemed like a throwaway comment but i carried this homemade bottle of croatian oil 8,000 miles, it was so good. #
came up with an idea for a new thing in turkey. sorta sci-fi. sorta really not sci-fi. THIS WILL REQUIRE THE BEST ARTIST EVER BUILT. #
tight goat, pilgrim #
sure, dude on facebook, i will join your march against the thing i pay my rent with. thanks for inviting me! #
