• 07:57 Wonders what work to bring outside today: rewrites or skoolwork? Final's just over 2.5 weeks away! #
• 09:02 Holy nostalgia! I remember watching each and every one of these Nickelodeon spots! www.youtube.com/watch?v=a68dZfAlk9k #
• 09:26 Didn't stay up last nite for the end of Warren Ellis's GI JOE: RESOLUTE. Thank the internets tho: www.youtube.com/watch?v=OiIZRPxwHPk #
• 11:14 Just had to get back outside. Breakfast at a diner and now I'm sitting in the downtown sun. #
• 11:15 Diner observation: There's something cute about watching 2 strangers flirt w/each other when English isn't either of their first languages. #
• 11:17 Looks like the Time Warner intertubes are clogged, which explained the problems I had at home. #
• 11:31 Okay, maybe too hot to sit in the sun. Needed a change of pace, so I set up at a corporate coffee chain, hoping no townie friends see me. ;) #
• 11:34 Actually, hoping I don't have a repeat of yesterday when I narrowly dodged *4* coworkers and 1 member of crit group. #
• 11:48 Ran into a coworker--that didn't take long, did it? #
• 13:11 Best thing about Twitter besides getting non-bot DM from 1 of my favorite writers: It told me that Time-Warner's intertubes were clogged. #
• 13:13 Feeling very, very happy w/skoolwork progress today. Figure 30 more min, and I'll have earned a break. #
• 14:10 30 min. to finish up skoolwork might've been a little optimistic :*( #
• 14:32 All right, I'm done w/skoolwork today because I've *decided* that I'm done! :) #
• 14:33 Gonna hang out & sip cold drinks, rather than risk running into the coworkers I've seen out the windows of the coffee shop. #
• 14:46 is starting Bradbury Stories: 100 of His Most Celebrated Tales by Ray Bradbury. 'Cos it's been in my "to read" pile for too long. #

• 19:24 is on page 25 of 912 of Bradbury Stories: 100 of His Most Celebrated Tales by Ray Bradbury. Who knew a 59-year old story like "The Rocke ... #
