07:57:41: RT @JHSked: just finished Last Exit in New Jersey by @cegrundler. Great book & proceeds this week go to Japan. Worth the buy!
09:23:14: I think it's time we brought the word "bodacious" back
10:04:20: @smythwood The how about radical? Tubular? Have people stopped using the word tubular?
10:41:39: @smythwood I guess bringing back "kowabunga" is completely out of the question then?
10:47:20: Heck, maybe I'll just spend my weekend watching TMNT and pretend it's still the 90s.
10:52:06: @smythwood Are you saying the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles aren't cool?
10:57:06: Just want to remind people about this http://tinyurl.com/6xgbtjr - All revenue from my indie books this week are going to Japan
10:57:39: I've had my best week of sales so far, so thanks to everyone! Can't to see how much we've made for the relief effort
10:58:02: @smythwood So... Who was your favourite? Was it Raphael? I assume he was everyone's favourite
11:04:26: @smythwood Ah, Shredder was a *ahem* radical villain. Such a fancy hat too
13:10:05: I knew I would suffer for last night's marathon editing session. The fingertips of my left hand keep going numb and getting pins and needles
13:11:09: But my right arm seems fine, so I guess it's kind of a win?
13:40:02: @Skarrah Lol, that was exactly my reaction. She can't be Katniss! She's too clean! I'm dreading the casting for Gale and Peeta
13:43:59: @Skarrah Don't! Just ... don't. *clings to sanity* Hunger Games filtered through Twilight would be an abomination
13:46:03: @Skarrah Agreed. I've got a horrible feeling Hollywood might try to cash in on the Twilight demographic though
13:48:28: @Skarrah Oh God, yes. I kinda want to see it just coz it's werewolves and Gary Oldman, but will that overcome the Twilight-ness?
13:54:36: @Scarimonious @Skarrah A metal elephant? What? How did I miss this?
14:08:50: @Scarimonious Even now I am convinced there is always a raptor in the bushes. Always
16:04:55: I just broke my glasses by picking them up! Have I developed super strength?
16:16:02: @smythwood No Skittles this morning! Honest.
16:16:29: Damn, this means I have to go into town tomorrow to get my glasses fixed. I'd planned on going no further than the living room all weekend
16:18:15: @janjonesauthor Probably a day to avoid everything, I think!
16:50:03: @Laura_Bickle @smythwood So less a case of "kill your darlings" and more "your darlings kill you"?
16:50:53: Okay. White text on a black background is not user-friendly. Add in poor spelling and a total lack of sentence structure and I'm done
16:51:11: If you're going to blog about being a writer, why not write well? #amiright?
16:58:17: @Scarimonious So is actually finishing sentences, if this blog is anything to go by. It's like mad libs
17:07:49: @Scarimonious I guess that's a kinder interpretation than mine... And you should totally have giant mutant scorpions in your story
17:11:51: http://y.ahoo.it/E1q7WY7v This is basically actually, you know, quite interesting, innit? But they missed out "obviously," my filler word
17:13:53: I preface everything with "Obviously," even when it's not obvious and usually if I'm about to saying something really obscure and rambling
17:19:09: @cherose228 Lol, I haven't had any! Maybe it's time?
17:56:03: @smythwood Obviously, you know?
18:56:33: How can something "roll over you like a knife through hot butter"? These things do not go together!
19:39:57: A gypsy funeral march is preventing me getting home. I'm not making this up
20:19:01: I am home! No more gypsy funeral marches, please
21:39:20: Watching Monsters, as recommended by @yolandasfetsos. Aliens!
21:40:11: Kyle watched Skyline earlier. He nearly pissed himself laughing when I asked if it was any good
22:09:29: Monsters is displaying a disappointing lack of monsters
22:58:07: Well, this is time I'll never get back
22:59:35: So it's official: Independence Day was the last good alien invasion film
23:00:30: @harrietholmes Thanks! Feels like the end of an era
23:15:12: Fine. I'm going to watch the X Files. I can get my sci-fi kicks some other way, Monsters. Forget you
23:22:17: @ktabic How can you say that?! It had Will Smith and Jeff Goldblum! It was AMAZING
23:30:34: @ktabic But it's so much fun. All I want is a good, fun film with aliens and no deep meaning. Is that so much to ask?
