always amazes me that the only place you can't find real mexicans in LA is in a casting director's office #
that said, credit where it's due: @robertkirkman's ep of the walking dead is so far the best written. #
these TSA stories just keep getting worse: screener allegedly searches inside underwear http://is.gd/hBs6t #
ios update didn't load everything but i'm afraid to do a restore. maybe i'll just wait til the inevitable update on the update. #
hey so the new @kanyewest album is on sale on amazon for $3.99 http://is.gd/hBIh1 #
my starmeter is up 136% on imdb this week. the funny thing is i don't have a subscription to see why. #
ivan brandon (I) the 1960s film editor trumps me with a 236% #storyofmylife #noideawhatthatevenmeans #
i think @grantmorrison's run on b&r maybe surpasses his all star run. bonus points for a couple pokes at the dark knight movie. #
conan interviewing jesse eisenberg is one of the most disturbing and entertaining interviews i've seen all year http://is.gd/hCsbl #

had a dream i'd sent a business email to @chris_ryall and he'd not responded. woke up angry at chris for not answering my dream email. #
my comic purchases are all weirdly karmic. came out of DC meetings w/ a mountain of comics, but i went to the store & bought thunder agents. #
headed to day 2 at the studio in park slope w/ @cliffchiang, macdonald & fletcher. will i procure @korillabbq for them on the way in? #maybe #
arcade fire's neon bible is on sale for $4 http://amzn.to/9Vw6du #
