SLEEP WHY HAST THOU FORSAKEN ME #
the good news is my alarm is set to go off pretty soon. #
i recommend having the silver spoons theme song stuck in your head if you can't sleep. #
"you never told me you had a wife." "well, i didn't have her long." #watchingtruegritat6am #
true grit is one of the best movies of the year. #theyearis1969 #
best part of not being able to sleep? took 3 kinds of sleep meds tonight #notcountingwhiskey #deathbyjetlag #
nothing like a meeting after no sleep. fingers crossed i fall asleep on the bus and end up in a warriors reenactment. #
i think it's fair at this point to declare arcade fire's ready to start my song of the year #
"if you'll excuse me, i have to go get the mail and gloat at being right during a time when you were wrong." – my sister #
this is officially the year of the digital xmas card. and i am still too lazy to send out even that. #merryxmasinternet #
i think this is only for today, internet: the wire complete series box set for $75 http://amzn.to/fWN1D6 #
all roads lead to @JimMahfood #
internet maybe you can figure out a way to clone @daniel_krall crossed w/ @anniew for the sake of drawing all of my comic arts #thinkaboutit #
the preceding inspired by @daniel_krall's amazingly beautiful xmas card that arrived today. #

in my obsessive search for a browser that isn't a ram hog, i am trying out the new OPERA. it's really nice. #
i wanna say how proud i am of you, internet, that the most retweeted thing that came out of my feed was david bowie's hair. #
don't google myself much or read many reviews but today i found myself scanning the clearance bin at midtown comics for my books #narcissism #
hey, happy birthday @mikemarts . my present to you is the sequel to twoface: the long way down. THREEFACE. #tching #
though i have not yet gotten my copies, i have been to the comic shop & gazed at the lovely huge stack of VIKING softcovers and smiled. #
"I'll be the first man arrested for smuggling delicious." -@jasonlatour #
kristyn is cooking something that smells like a cinnabon but i'm pretty sure isn't even remotely dessert-y. #
no, tivo, i do not want you to record 49 consecutive episodes of the jersey shore this weekend, thank you. #
i can't hear marvin gaye without remembering @nick_lowe_'s karaoke rendition of 'ultimate healing' to @mrmarkmillar #sadbuttrue in reply to nick_lowe_ #
Tell me you wouldn't read this comic book every month: http://koikoikoi.com/2010/12/super-mamika-by-sacha-goldberger/ via@jasonlatour #

War Dancer! http://tinyurl.com/m5cbpu (via @urbanbarbarian) #
alright kids. pray for me. i am going to attempt to conquer jetlag and emerge victorious. #
the biggest surprise is that the guy who played barney miller was somehow only 65 #
happy birthday to @zdarsky who is not a lady #
jesus, is it really supposed to take one day for each hour of time difference to get over jetlag? so i have EIGHT MORE DAYS?! #
don't have the patience to watch a whole press conf but i did see enough of the marvel thing to see brevoort's impression of @brianmbendis #
TECHNOLOGY WE CAN ALL USE http://is.gd/japvX #
so far @tomfowlerbug wins the best xmas card award for the year. sorry, everyone else. #theresstilltimepeople #
with travels it was probably an ungodly hour in the US when i posted this, so: here's a new interview i did w/ CBR: http://is.gd/jaTRo #
"The VIKING softcover by @ivanbrandon & @nicklein's a stunning package & 1 ofthe sexiest books of the year" http://is.gd/jaZ8g – @CharlieChu #
apparently @Atomic_Comics has already presold a copy of tomorrow's VIKING softcover to a biker who plans to use it as ref for a new tattoo #
suddenly the whole week is swamped with non-comics business meetings. #
here retailer @atomicmike taunts me that he has a copy of my book before i do. note it's almost as big as he is. http://yfrog.com/h857vxj #
for a limited time all bulletstorm preorders come with gears of war 3 beta: http://is.gd/jblfa (via @gearsviking) #
kristyn just asked for my help to read her handwriting. #
i don't know why i find it funny that @davidchang is on twitter. but sign me up. #
sms app crashed again: all the messaged are gone, though they still show up in the search. i am about to ditch my iphone. #

hard to imagine what these mccarthy westerns are like if you don't speak spanish. the spanish is such a big part of it. #
alright, sleep. i give up. i figure you'll show up when you're ready. back to work. #
i am aware of how sad it is that my greatest regret in asia was not buying the seaweed pringles. #
3 continents i've never been to: australia, antarctica & africa. seems unlikely i'll be invited to a comic convention in the latter 2. #
seriously what is with this new rash of invites from linkedin? do people really use that site? #
when your sister is pregnant you get to learn wonderful terms like "diaper cake". but i've refused to learn the definition. #
like 4 days ago a tiny balinese woman ended our haggling over the price of a pillowcase with: "WHY YOU MAKE A PICKLE?" #
merry christmas, internet: http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lcb35gGx0t1qailr4o1_500.gif #
forever's gonna start tonight. apparently. #
literally 2 minutes after i got home from the airport on friday, ups dropped off DC's xmas present. thanks, folks. #
watching my 1969 screener copy of true grit. #
"if i smelled as bad as you i wouldn't live near people." #
oh man. RIP terriers. #
lack of sleep caught up w/ me at 7pm. am i gonna be able to sleep tonight after this 2 hr nap? STAY TUNED FOR THE SUPER THRILLING REVELATION #
also in a conversation about tron only @ZacharyLevi is making any sense. #

i am going to go see tron tomorrow KNOWING FULL WELL it's going to be terrible. (spoiler: the original was also terrible) #
tron's legacy is that he was really busy for most of the movie. #

goodbye, bali. i'll miss you kindof a lot. #
landed in singapore for the 3rd time in just over a week. long layover en route to tokyo and then, finally, the arctic (JFK). #
downsides to changi airport: it is not bali. it is not my house. upside: bbq chicken pao buns for less than a dollar. #
also a mosquito bit me on my eyelid. #iforgiveyoubali #
god rest ye merry gentlemen always makes me think of dirty rotten scoundrels. which i've not even seen, i somehow remember the commercial. #
changi airport has free machines that massage your feet. after i turned it on it occurred to me that 1 day it'll break down with feet inside #
it certainly FEELS like it's about to sever my feet. #
alright, singapore, this time i am really leaving you. off to narita. #
