  1. Scored last-minute tickets for Billy Crystal. I'm going to close my eyes and pretend I'm at the Oscars in their pre-Hugh Jackman glory days.
  2. Kept a tally today of how many customers I helped in an hour. Final total: 37 (more than one every two minutes!). Where's my Purple Heart?
  3. @twirlandswirl: Mine is the same way. She scratches and cries at the window constantly.
  4. The game is a bit much, but I like the mug. RT @maudnewton: Pride and Prejudice ...the board game? http://bit.ly/8yY4Yw (via @quillandquire)
  5. RT @scoutmob: Seriously, people: let's remember what's really important this time of year: http://bit.ly/6uzOka (via someecards.com)
  6. I would actually be OK with all the Christmas music we play at work if I could hear "Carol of the Bells" at least once an hour.
  7. A Thanksgiving miracle! The Times' 100 Notable Books of 2009 list is out: http://bit.ly/4vO2kG. Lots of memoirs and short story collections.
  8. Mystery solved: After hitting a car, Machen left to eat at... Ti Amo! The resulting misdemeanor charge is being dropped. http://tr.im/FHV1
  9. Sage advice: "An event doesn't make for a resonant story merely because it's weird and bad and actually happened." http://tr.im/FGSs
  10. @grosza: That's the one! The place reopened as an upscale nightclub called Gold Room a few weeks ago, but I miss its seedier heyday.
  11. @grosza: OK, maybe a hint of irony. The Gold Room, home of a huge disco ball, used to be the site of a now-defunct strip club with mob ties.
  12. I think I have seen more non-ironic disco balls in one night than most people could ever hope to see in a lifetime.
  13. RT @bookbench: Fantasy Literary Smackdown: FOER VS. PALIN http://bit.ly/3ZuwQg
  14. I am being kicked out of my own house by a realtor, who announces, "It's really better if the owner's not here."
  15. But what restaurant did Machen go to AFTER he hit a car and left the scene?! Details, people. http://ow.ly/AyaQ (via @chadssmith)
  16. "You: A canny observer in a white suit and a fine cravat. The Culture: Just waiting for someone to explain it to itself." http://tr.im/DDzF
  17. RT @JenHoward: "A still more glorious dawn awaits..." http://bit.ly/L4WZg (via @mkgold RT @joeymornin) Oddly affecting, this.
  18. I think I just saved my computer from a nuclear meltdown. Crossing my fingers that this isn't just a brief reprieve.
  19. @Damiem: Brilliant. Will make a note of this.
  20. "You're too young to remember the war," a man told me in a wistful tone this afternoon. How to respond to something like that?
