Oh man, when you do a good book dirty stuffing it horizontally on top of all your other books... #booksky
27 years, still saving my Gravity's Rainbow for some other summer
I think about how The New Yorker approached the subject of Pablo Escobar from the pov of window repairmen... a cartel bomb in Bogota meant a brisk day for glaziers. If I can give one piece of writing advice, it's tackle the big sideways with the small -- especially when the small says it all.
Ten years in Oregon, and I'm still surprised by the dampness of the US mail.
Other people’s Dorito’s, man. Nacho cheese should be a private affair #unwelcomeclouds
Just now: A classic, perfectly executed, marching band roll-step so I can smoothly walk without spilling my overfull coffee THIS is what throws out my knee??
There's a company developing a contact lens that accesses a databases of faces and floats (for your eyes only) a person's name over their heads. Suddenly, I'm awesome at parties.

Jury selection today, the defense attorney asked me, "Screenwriter? Have I seen anything?" I listed some shows, and the defendant exclaimed, "Hannibal?! Goddamn, I love Hannibal!" The attorney hissed for him to be quiet, but I pointed to the guy,"Right on, thanks!" Booted! #scriptsky #fannibals

Fave sign from today, "I like my democracy neat, no ICE!" #NoKings
Somebody counted the number of wikipedia articles that have been written about the element mercury vs Freddie Mercury. And I'm afraid it tallies at mercury (5112) and Freddie Mercury (4256) #sad
Can you think of any scenario that would lead to "model cheaper than CG" today?? -- and then let's make it happen #filmsky
Fascinated with the concept of a house spider. Do you choose the spider or does the spider choose you? Do you leave the door open a little extra to draw in juicy insects? Will I hurt its feelings if I name it Shelob -- or will that go to its head?
A different take on nuclear proliferation from the pov of the physicists who built the things in the 50s. Very Frankenstein's Monster
