  1. Packing peanuts--abomination unto the Lord, or merely an affront to God?
  2. @arielauthentic Nope. Routine cleaning, performed overzealously. Perio's no fun, either though.
  3. Had the world's most thorough oral hygienist today. I think the *roots* of my teeth are clean. I hope the bleeding stops someday. #dentist
  4. @markedwardhall Overachiever. :)
  5. @jimduckett Leave it for dead and come back to it later. Sometimes, you won't even be able to tell what you thought was so wrong. :)
  6. And some days, you realize your subplot is actually way more interesting than your plot plot. Whoops. Good thing it's early... #amwriting
  7. @andrewvanwey That's...disturbing.
  8. The parlous state of American education. bit.ly/HKkdkG #jesuswept
  9. The Supreme Court is stressing me the f**k out. I think I need to take a break from the internet for about a month.
  10. "When you are the smartest person in the room, FIND A DIFFERENT ROOM!" (emphasis added). Awesome. bit.ly/A6Zh9T
  11. There's more musical variety in my car when I leave the same CD in for a week straight than when I listen to pop radio. Jeez. #amlistening
  12. Blog entries full of writing advice are largely, what's the word? Fucking worthless. This is the exception: bit.ly/wXRif9 #writing
  13. "...got a grand piano to prop up my mortal remains..." Wish I knew why I sometimes wake up with songs in my head I haven't heard for years.
  14. Saw somebody with a Ron Paul sign today. It said "End the Fed." I read: "I am economically illiterate."
  15. I've decided that urban fantasy is basically indistinguishable from supernatural horror--at least the way I write it. Oops. #writing
  16. A quick 'n' dirty guide to recording gear for the stupidly obsessed hobbyist. bit.ly/y3LI5K #recording
  17. Woman pulls up invoice for fixing my dbx compressor. Says: "Oh my god. I've never seen a repair bill that high from us. Uh, sorry." Sigh.
  18. @AVRant_Tom And even then, the jury's still out...
  19. Always funny: watching somebody on a Bluetooth headset wildly gesticulating at thin air.
  20. RT @JHSked: WolfSong is free to download Saturday & Sunday from Amazon - here's the link & enjoy! tinyurl.com/7vaelt4
