I have to admit it: I think one of the great things about Obama's brilliant speech today is that it drove the wingnuts INSANE. #inauguration

What I learned this week: the people of Newport, RI are, on the whole, uncommonly good looking.

I'd say I'm about 20 years below the average age of this audience. Doesn't bode well for the opera.

Feeling pretty demoralized at the state of the world's tangerine supply.

To paraphrase the Amazing Colossal Man: what sin could someone commit in a single lifetime to deserve to be afflicted with cats?

Got my flu shot today. Doesn't kick in for four weeks, though. Yeek.

.@RonHogan And the whole party-going public sighs with relief.

Walking around the house all day singing "Getting to Know You." No idea why. I think @RonHogan may be getting annoyed.

This baton routine would be way better set to "Bad Girls" instead of "The Last Dance." #missamerica

I kind of love John Saxon.

This, in a nutshell, is why I will never go back to Sunnyside: http://t.co/nDcgFSO0

.@datn I like it slightly better than "'Blah blah blah,' he said tiredly" or "'Blah blah blah,' he snickered," but only very slightly.

So, is writing fiction without using dialog tags the trendy thing now? Because it drives me insane, quite frankly.

Tonight on subway: one crazy person, one belligerent crazy person, one belligerent non-crazy person. Not bad.

Interesting thesis about the link between crime and lead: http://t.co/ODBLIB6t #fb

Shameful. “@Jezebel: Say Goodbye to the Violence Against Women Act http://t.co/2CFPtAWq”

Actually, instead of MRSA, I think I'll worry about Dengue fever. Also, that high frame rate will become standard.

.@chuckwoolery If you think that was an attack, Ace, I envy you your sheltered life.

I would pay good money to see Samuel Beckett's "The Odd Couple." #fb

So, when exactly did "derp" become a real word?

Shockingly, people actually seem to observe the "quiet"part of the Quiet Car. #Amtrak

Wow, this is pretty excellent: “@ezraklein: Jack Klugman's secret, lifesaving legacy, by @joshuagreen: http://t.co/sVWci2Zs”

Had a dream that @lmc and I went to Japan together and then missed our flight back.

I guess LaPierre never saw "Battle Royale," a 2000 Japanese film where teens kill each other with guns. Wasn't released in US until 2011.
