@sispurrier Happy Birthday! That Calvin & Hobbes book sounds amazing! #
The thing that really struck me about that Sun article about LOLcats was that they ALSO gave each image a pointless caption. #
This office is now talking about making a video tutorial of a video capture tool using video capture. RECURSIVE REALITY LOOP. FREAKING OUT! #
@steevbishop God, I hate photo captions. #
@steevbishop "A Sun writer panic-producing neutral copy, today." #
@MhairiMcF I can clarify that it apparently wasn't me. I saw this tweet, anyway. #
@MhairiMcF On it, ma'am. *salutes* *turns back to monitor, starts typing furiously with no concern for which keys* #
@MhairiMcF WAIT! We're in a classroom, right? Not a nerve centre? God, Wednesdays are confusing. #
@sarahditum Well deserved. Am curious, though: Is the amount you should accept yourself on page 193 the same as on other pages? #
@akirathedon I'm oldest of three – two sisters – so I'm coming out on side of resentment of first-born supremacy. #
@sarahditum Hmm… intriguing. Wonder if Tescos on way home has copy. (Suspect they don't stock it in FP, so won't see it at lunchtime.) #
@sarahditum I can see a few arguments against self-acceptance, but I always get what people mean by these things wrong in first place, so.:) #
Having my first proper anxious geek moment in years, seeing the Dark Judges stuff today. Weird how this particular thing makes it happen… #
…It's a very particular level of fan excitement that I don't really get susceptible to, but Day Of Chaos has just geared me up for it. #
Between Judge Dredd: Day Of Chaos & @DanSlott's Amazing Spider-Man events, very formative sort of comics excitement is resurging in me. #
This week #MOMB is asking what "continuity" means to you right now? Answer here, via email to MOMBcast@gmail.com, or at FB, G+ or Tumblr.RT! #
(Those other links to the question are FB = http://t.co/I5oRcusz, G+ = http://t.co/2RnEgeGE, & Tumblr = http://t.co/Y3iToLXr ) #
BTW, we're curious to know what continuity means to our civilian friends – people who aren't hugely geeky… #
@Pytyr2011 Yay! #
All this excitement about the Dark Judges coming back, & I didn't even know Colin Macneil was going to be drawing it. AMAZING work there! #
BTW, Twitter-peeps who haven't listened to #MOMBcast before – @JamesMOMB says stuff like this all the time: http://t.co/Mf6BnG6h … #
…& most of our exchanges are probably about this intelligent: http://t.co/iQVBqBnN #MOMBcast #
@ellenstarbuck Great post. I really enjoyed the film, but you're not wrong about any of your observations. There WERE a couple of scenes… #
@ellenstarbuck …where lived up to Whedon-at-emotionally-jagged-heights-of-Buffy standards, but only a couple. Shied from emotional peril. #
@ellenstarbuck (Fascinated by your post-edu reaction to film, tho… film component to mine had opposite effect entirely… #
@ellenstarbuck …Pre-degree I was very judgmental/anti-populist, & after, I had a taste for Big. Movies. TM.) #
@StacebobT I wish I'd said "cunt" on your show. We have a no "cunt" rule on #MOMBcast to keep @JamesMOMB in check. Feel like I missed out. #
@marcmaron Mmm, cosy. Wait a minute…! That didn't sound like I meant it to sound! #
@samwisemoss You and Lorry are MONSTERS! Awesome, awesome monsters! #
@MhairiMcF I wonder if all the furniture will seem smaller, & the ceilings lower? #
@emslj Hah! Is that so? I mostly just mumble along to that whole song. Well, except for "it wears me out", which I'm comfy with. #
@emslj …Also "If I could be who you wanted. If I could be who you wanted". While hacking weakly at my wrists with a butter knife. #
@emslj (My experiences of that album are tied to a very specific, emotionally pathetic time in my life. Lots of drinking/self-pity.) #
@emslj (But no real butter-knife suicide attempts, I promise.) #
@emslj (I only said that because 20-something white-male misery & desperation is HILARIOUS.) #
@emslj Sometimes it's good to swallow did you sa… too far? Hang on… I wrote a story very specifically about that period. Give me a mo… #
@emslj http://t.co/7UkJwy0j – Though I should mention that I wasn't a girl at the time & the whole gay component is largely fiction. Mostly. #
@sarahditum INTO a suitcase or… I kind of want to ask more about this, & at same time kind of don't. #
@sarahditum Having said that, APPARENTLY I'm an expert, so. #
@sarcastathon AND ALSO the modesty. Don't forget the modesty! It's my favourite of your traits… #
@JMDeMatteis Hi! Out of interest, had you noticed the odd spam generated by our long-ago tweets about a Blood movie? Really weird. #
@JMDeMatteis It's very peculiar. It doesn't even LOOK like spam, except it's repetition of early tweets. Hm. #
@JMDeMatteis This is the latest: https://t.co/PqVxLJR4 but I've had it from lots of other accounts. Weird. #
@JMDeMatteis (It isn't obvious from that tweet that it's about Blood, but other ones have been. How odd!) #
@sarcastathon You are EVERYTHING as WELL AS modest, you mean! Don't sell yourself short! #
@sarcastathon You know, this may be embarassing to admit, but wife swoons every time he says something on Blue Blood. (As do I.) #
@JMDeMatteis That is very true, actually! #
@emslj Dominic West's accent is a little odd in everything except The Wire, which is kind of weird. #
Parks & Rec catch-up for the win! Burt Macklin is bad-ass! #
@emslj …having said that, The Wire feels like the only thing I've seen him in that's really stretched him. #
@emslj Well, except Aiden Gillen, who now gets to deliver melodramatic monologues while watching women have sex with each other. #
@emslj It divided people, but I think it revealed a lot about the character as well… #
@emslj …could they have revealed the same things a different way? Sure. But the dude DOES run a brothel. #
@emslj Ha, well, we personally loved it in our house, so we're obviously terrible too! #
