  • @sunilse­bas­t­ian Die Hard is the best Christ­mas movie EVER. in reply to sunilse­bas­t­ian #

  • UC Blog: UC201: New Begin­ning http://bit.ly/7L7YAn #

  • UC Blog: Momen­tum http://bit.ly/8as0g1 #
  • @jchutchins You’re a bet­ter man than I. I would have been tap­danc­ing on their grave. #Kirkus in reply to jchutchins #
  • @crimsonsky76 Yeah, I’m pretty fond of that myself, but I worry it might be too flip­pant. in reply to crimsonsky76 #
  • @crimsonsky76 re: the demons, longevity breeds pom­pos­ity #
  • @crimsonsky76 Is that good or bad? in reply to crimsonsky76 #
  • Made some adjust­ments to the Uni­fi­ca­tion Chron­i­cles time­line http://bit.ly/4ZgRuC #
  • RT @BstiNatosi: Really, New York? You thought it would be swell to name a city Cox­sackie? #
  • RT @FakeAPStylebook: Avoid describ­ing mil­i­tary drones as “unmanned,” as evi­dence sug­gests that tiny pilots actu­ally fly them. #

  • RT @ChuckWendig: RT: @shoepixie: There’s two fish in a tank. One turns to the other and says: ‘You man the guns, I’ll drive’ #
  • Check out my shelves on Goodreads: http://bit.ly/8K3H0I #
  • RT @julioangelortiz: RT @KimPossible40: I would just like to say: 2009 can SUCK IT. 15 days until the New Year. I. CANNOT. WAIT. #
  • RT @dgawlik324: New Year Res­o­lu­tions lower cho­les­terol and up my miti­clor­lian count to the point that I can force-​choke at least one ass­hole #
  • RT @caitkitt: Instead of fight­ing, Cap­tain Amer­ica and Red Skull could just send each other passive-​aggressive tweets. #
  • @niassa I like the way @jchutchins put it: Ter­mi­na­tor Sal­va­tion is really good fan­fic. in reply to niassa #
  • UC Blog: Sec­ond guess­ing http://bit.ly/6ytEOz #
  • @crimsonsky76 They’re being bankrolled by the angels. I thought I men­tioned that, but yes, it will be explored in greater detail. in reply to crimsonsky76 #
  • Bad news: I only got 300 words today. Good news: my mom’s can­cer surgery was suc­cess­ful. It was a GOOD day. #amwrit­ing #
  • @crimsonsky76 In all fair­ness, “cohe­sive” and “time travel” are almost mutu­ally exclu­sive #lovedthe­newtrek in reply to crimsonsky76 #
  • Yes, Avatar is basi­cally Dances With Smurfs, but mythic story struc­tures have per­sisted for mil­len­nia for a *rea­son*. #
  • @AfrimKa­caj I wore the 3D glasses, which look like Ray Bans, on top of my Ray Bans. The 3D specs are a lit­tle over­sized, to it’s okay. in reply to AfrimKa­caj #
  • @Garten­berg I dis­agree. 3D in Avatar just makes the story and char­ac­ters more con­vinc­ing. Yes, it’s a sim­ple story. All myths are. in reply to Garten­berg #
  • @Garten­berg So you were judg­ing it based on how it mea­sured up to the hype, rather than how the movie worked as a movie? How odd. in reply to Garten­berg #
  • @Garten­berg The CGI in Avatar isn’t what had me welling up. If you’re so cyn­i­cal you can’t enjoy a mythic tale grandly told, I pity you. in reply to Garten­berg #
  • Avatar is Joseph Camp­bell 101. The CGI gave me a sense of won­der, but the story and char­ac­ters made me *care*. #
  • @Garten­berg Yes, the envi­ron­men­tal preach­ing was pretty heavy. But the story is time­less. There’s a rea­son myths per­sist. in reply to Garten­berg #
