I don't feel good, mister. I feel real bad. In ma guts. #
Comic stalwarts @nicwilco & @ryanklindsay, despite being very different, have avatars that register to my eye as the same. #
…This can be confusing when one of them tweets & I'm not immediately sure who said it. One is a lovely Brit lady, other is a macho Oz man. #
@ryanklindsay @NicWilko On my Tweetdeck you're both tiny! #
@davidbaillie Oooh, I've been making assumptions about how it works when you invite someone, so if it's fidgetty I can find another way. #
Difficult exchange just reminded me that there's world of difference between being a racist & saying something racist. Worth considering… #
…when reacting to someone who's said something that's offended you, & also when being criticised. And no, it wasn't me who said it. #
Dr appointment yesterday was 5 minute conversation after which I all but volunteered for something that people don't usually volunteer for. #
…well, SOME people probably do. And others probably pay for it. But I mean, something that I wouldn't usually volunteer for. #
@dan_hill Hah! No. Actually, thanks, that puts it in a much better perspective. #
@NicWilko Oh man! Fuckery! As if life isn't confusing enough! @ryanklindsay #
#twitterjoketrial is pretty awful & important, but am about to RT tweet about it that really tickled me in way that I think was unintended. #
…I think the future of hyperbole might be in good hands. #twitterjoketrial #
…That RT'd quote is pretty much why I do ANY sort of writing, including why I started using Twitter in the first place. #
@budgie Oooh, hello. #
@JamesMOMB Oh for fuck's sake. Why don't they start their OWN fucking shelter. Friendless fucks. #
@emslj Have you seen this? I bet everyone has seen this: http://t.co/0mEHonky I'd never heard it before. it made me so happy. #
@DavidUzumeri Why, aren't you enjoying him on FF? #
@DavidUzumeri @JamesMOMB has been loving hard on his Marvel stuff, but it hasn't landed for me. Love his current creator-owned work, mind. #
@ThoughtBubbleUK Uh… I have QUESTIONS. #
@akirathedon @Darth_Mareecaba Dunno… don't some use it to describe something that they objectively KNOW is shit/bad for them/society? #
@akirathedon @Darth_Mareecaba Seeing a few people railing against that at mo. Feels like attempt to shut down a perfectly workable phrase. #
@akirathedon @Darth_Mareecaba (I don't tend to use it, but it's more cos I'm not organised enough about categorising my pleasures.) #
THAT ISN'T WHAT RADICAL MEANS. Jesus, just cos investigative journalism/reportage is in such a piss-poor state, doesn't… no, never mind. #
@Darth_Mareecaba For me it relates more to food. So many reasons not to eat at BK, but sometimes urges get better of me. @akirathedon #
The b2w ep on passive aggressive behaviour was by far the funniest, most helpful thing @hotdogsladies has done in ages. #
@Darth_Mareecaba Fuck, yeah, you HAVE to. Otherwise I'd never listen to @akirathedon or read @davidwynne's comics. #
@Darth_Mareecaba Nearest analogue I guess is: If I watch even a second of Big Brother, TV companies will make more shows like Big Brother… #
@Darth_Mareecaba …but the idea of there being more shows like Big Brother (& fewer shows like The Wire or whatever) is like diabetes. #
@davidwynne This is starting to look dangerously like mathematics. @akirathedon @Darth_Mareecaba #
@bimadew Sometimes for me emotional sting of a rejection is more about feeling dumb about having made any effort than hurt by the response. #
@bimadew (I haven't been following rest of the converstion, just a gut response to your tweet about how knowing means little. #
@bimadew COVNERSATION! Shit, conversation. #
@davidwynne You don't just like me. You fucking LOVE me. Too late to be coy now, mister. #
I like this Jake And Amir episode. Haven't watched one in ages. http://t.co/LJzV541l #
@hermanos For a scary moment there, I thought you'd linked to an actual post about Before Watchmen. Psychological conditioning ftw. #
@hermanos (LOVE that post, by the way. Never saw that scene before, but plays exactly into how I see MJ and how I see Peter Parker.) #
@hermanos You've been fairly consistent with it, haven't you? But think this is the 1st time I followed link to a more trad comic page… #
@hermanos …can't remember whether it was you who was dismayed about Slott's current characterisation of Parker, but this No-one Dies… #
@hermanos …thing is really working for me, BECAUSE I see it as playing directly to the self-absorbed traits you describe there. #
@hermanos I try not to predict stuff about stories, but a Parker breakdown is one of three Marvel scenes I expect to see quite soon. #
@hermanos (Gwen was never my Parker-girl, actually. Mary-Jane, especially in that iteration, is just wonderful.) #
@hermanos It's… risky. In keeping with a lot of other big stuff at Marvel over the last few years, & it's one of those things… #
@hermanos …if it DOESN'T get as bad as it can get, the distance travelled from status-quo is just going to be irritating. #
@hermanos (Also from continuity perspective it begs the question "why now?") #
@lucypepper ALL THE TIME #
@hermanos Like, why not after Aunt May died? Or why didn't Kraven's Last Hunt give him the breakdown? #
@hermanos I've loved the execution of ASM over last several months, tho, so probably not objective. #
@sispurrier Note: If it ended with "…in my pants." it probably isn't as good as you think it is. #
@sispurrier Smirk! #
Motherfucking Michael Ironside! Also dude offa BSG! http://t.co/TRacNM39 @GetGlue @Castle_ABC #
@JamesMOMB Hah, dude, it's not uncommon. Me too! #
@Cherry_Cinnamon Why not? It's been years… Only took them 10 years to remake Maltese Falcon. #
@Cherry_Cinnamon Seriously, Highlander seems a bit redundant, Robocop a bad idea, but a lot of people thought Troopers wasn't a good adapt. #
Deep cover! This is going to be about Deep Cover! http://t.co/TRacNM39 @GetGlue @Castle_ABC #
Shit, just thought, I haven't seen Deep Cover in YEARS. #
@Clarkythecruel What's up? Anything I might be able to help with? #
@JamesMOMB Yeah, that's not gonna happen. #
@Maxy_Barnard For us? WE DO! #
@NicWilko @ryanklindsay Gah, so confusing! #
@Maxy_Barnard Yay! #
@Cherry_Cinnamon I loved it, but then I never read the book. Point being, if it wasn't a loyal adapt, no reason not to try again. #
@kierongillen Hardly ever check Formspring. When I do, you're only person I see active on there. End up reading despite loads of UXM Qs… #
@kierongillen …I've learned that I'm going to need to get uxm in tpb, comic fans don't understand how writing works, & i'm not daft. #
@acheverton Exactly as I have come to understand it! @Cherry_Cinnamon #
@Clarkythecruel …not an expert by far, but managed to get those two up and running! #
@Clarkythecruel Hm. If you think MOMB or EW anything to go by, drop me an email with your thoughts… @thegrampus #
@Cherry_Cinnamon …but I think it was more notorious than good. It got delay-banned cos of the terrorism & timing. #
@Cherry_Cinnamon The bomb bit at the beginning was pretty striking at the time, it's reprise later worth sticking around for. #
@Cherry_Cinnamon Huh, how funny. I didn't hear a thing about it til I was on holiday in Cyprus & it wasn't in UK cinemas any more. #
@ryanklindsay @NicWilko Hah! #
@kierongillen Awww, thanks. I think! Hopefully Marvel are collecting uxm in a way that makes sense! #
@Cherry_Cinnamon (Mind, quite possible I just didn't read the sort of mags that'd have Halle Berry's boobs all over them.) #
@Al_Ewing (Yeah, your expectations might be lower!) #
@emslj My god, girl! Your home-day food experience is like totally the opposite of mine! #
@Al_Ewing I've got the impression that he has quite deliberately phoned it in for Twilight. I think he thinks it's stupid. #
@Al_Ewing …which should bother me but I actually find funny. Regardless, heard good things about him in Cosmopolis. #
@emslj …actually, good point. I feel like I eat a lot at home, but it's in really spread out, forgetful bursts… #
@emslj …whereas at work I eat & drink tea obsessively as distraction. #
@hermanos There are a couple of scenes in today's asm ish that, following your post/our chat, make me think it's worth you taking a look. #
@emslj Innit tho? Have we talked about it before? It's scary good. #
@hermanos Hah, well, ok then. #
