Academic bitching, twitter as chat, and more Dr. Manhattan humor

11:19 @toojiggy Daylight savings time and losing an hour sleep can DEFINATELY suck it in my book. Just sayin'. #
11:24 Decision time: Go to my D&D game & lay down a can of halfling woopass, or be a responsible adult & do Prop 8 research until my eyes bleed? #
11:32 Still trying to figure out TweetDeck. Can't figure out how to read or edit custom groups. #
11:37 For the record: I don't get ANY updates to my phone. I make updates & sometimes check mobile twitter, but it's best to reg txt me if urgent. #
11:38 Or if you want me to get on twitter if I'm near a computer. RL Friends - DM me with your # and I'll send you a txt with mine. #
11:59 @createsomething Is it a Luddite thing? Do you have a regular self biz number in which I can use to try to give you money? #
13:13 Just spent the past hour watching Noonprop8dotcom ads on Youtube. Might be nice if they actually, I don't know, SHOWED A GAY COUPLE in them! #
13:15 I thought there might be some. There aren't. Ads show everyone BUT a happy, healthy, same sex family. Ellen w/o Portia. Sulu w/o his man. #
13:16 How the hell can you claim to protect the rights of a population you keep as invisible in your ads? #
13:38 Prop 8 research frustrates me to no end. Both sides suck. Why did I pick this topic? My only guess - the usual: I'm an academic masochist. #
13:41 is.gd/m6Gx Might twitter actually bring about gender neutral language? #
14:14 @amber_benson That is pretty annoying. I usually check the calendar when that happens. #
14:18 Perhaps laying down a can of halfling woop-ass will be therapeutic after watching all that so called No On Prop 8 stuff. #
14:19 I swear if I heard "I have a lot of gay friends..." one more time from a hetero celebrity I might need a new laptop from hurling it in rage. #
14:32 Apparently, I did open a can of halfling woop-ass via phone call & somehow slew a black dragon. This gives new meaning to "Phoning it in." #
14:33 @wilw I'll help you hold that hour thief down. You go ahead and keep punching. #
14:52 @Spike37 My D&D game. I didn't go. My husband is running my character. My character being a halfling swashbuckler that is mighty tiny doom. #
14:55 @jameskysonlee twitpic.com/1xs6c - It takes a very strong man to wear that shade of purple. ;-) #
14:56 @jameskysonlee twitpic.com/1xs6c - And is everyone else that tall or is Hayden really just that short? #
15:02 @jameskysonlee twitpic.com/1xseo - "I love the smell of fresh laundry!" #
15:05 @jameskysonlee twitpic.com/1xseo - Did I leave the iron on? #
15:27 WOW Tweetdeck is a RAM eater. #
15:33 Zotero is annoying as hell. I miss the straightforwardness of Endnote but I don't have $250 laying around to blow on it. #
15:38 In case you are wondering about that last tweet: is.gd/mq89 The problem being Zotero, while free, is crap in comparison to endnote. #
15:46 Yay - found the previous version of Endnote for $25 on ebay. And there is much academic rejoicing! #
15:58 Spent too much time futzing with citation tracking. Now I can't seem to find the trail of thought to write. Other than "You PINHEADS!" #
15:59 And for some reason, I think a paper consisting of nothing but calling campaign managers pinheads won't get me the grade I'm looking for. #
16:28 @danecook Oooh, Hexadecimal humor. And people say you aren't an intelligent comic. ;-) #
17:41 Just attempted to make my own twitter background. Not horrid for someone w/ NO graphic arts skills. Not great either. is.gd/71eV #
17:50 Well... that was a spectacular waste of time. And didn't rejuvenate my brain for writing at all. Feh. #
18:08 @neilhimself I wish I had something bright & sparkly to say that you might read & feel better. Words in this situation are inadequate. :-( #
18:25 @johncmayer Just did mine for free... I have no graphic talent though. #
19:29 #Wii what is better for the money: Wii Fit or DDR? #
20:41 @misscalico Technically, anyone who is a feminist post 1980's IS a 3rd Wave Feminist. You don't strike me as a 1st or 2nd wave one. #
20:43 @misscalico Fortunately, the best part about the feminist waves, the different types of feminism expand exponentially. #
20:46 I promise, it's ok to call yourself a #Feminist and still like the penis. I, for one, am both feminist and a huge fan of the penis. #
20:47 Preferably my husband's, but I'm not that picky. #
20:47 That last tweet was a joke. I'm really incredibly picky. #
21:06 @MissCalico Sad huh? I blame bloviated morons like Rush Limbaugh and Bill O'Reily for ruining the word. But I am trying to take it back. #
21:11 @MinaMeow HUH? Don't answer what? #
21:26 @ammre I started re-embracing 'feminist' after watching "Iron Jawed Angels". And screw anyone who thinks I'm less of a real woman for it. #
21:29 @MinaMeow I do believe your tweets came through backwards. It was going. Hair mostly still here. Stopped hours ago. Writers block. Blah. #
21:43 @greggrunberg Da' Bomb strikes again? #
21:44 I made a tweet via txt message hours ago. It still hasn't shown up. I fear it may be lost forever in twitter limbo. #
22:29 @createsomething The Feminists hating penises thing? Yeah, got worse in the 80's and 90's to shame women into giving up the word. #
22:31 @viviane212 On the plus side they made me wish I was at #kfanyc. #
22:34 @createsomething Unfortunately for me it's my area of study. Sort of mandates that I pay attention to it. Even when it drives me batshit. #
22:35 @greggrunberg We'll have powers in NO time now. ;-) :-P #
22:36 @snipeyhead I spent a good few hours on twitter Friday making jokes about Dr. Manhattan's 'Staten Island'. #
22:40 @snipeyhead Kevin Spacey? I don't think I've ever seen Mr. Spacey that up close and personal. #
22:41 @createsomething I am the very model of a modern Major (academic) Masochist. #
22:42 @greggrunberg I'm still holding out for the ability to fly. Or at least healing regeneration. #
22:45 @snipeyhead @lundegaard: Thank you. Thank you. I'll be here all night. Don't forget to tip your waitress. Try the veal. And RT! *bows* #
22:47 @snipeyhead In truth, neither have I. :-) I was thinking more Blue Man Group, but Kevin Spacey works too I suppose. #
22:52 rt @geekchick "Watchmen: Uncut" (Tee hee hee. These really DO write themselves.) #
22:53 @greggrunberg I mean the jokes in good fun. I'm all for Stem Cell Research. #
22:57 @snipeyhead Sure they could. They sell violet wands w body attachments. Same diff. Except the instant 3-some at will part. #
22:58 @snipeyhead Which makes ME wonder, what woman WOULDN'T want 2 of her man for the price of 1 focusing all on her just ONCE to try it? #
22:59 @snipeyhead I KNOW! Right there with you on that. And he could add a 4th for doing the dishes and laundry. #
23:00 @snipeyhead Agreed! #
23:01 @mrskutcher It's not just you. Fact - there is a spike in heart attack rates around daylight savings time. It messes a lot of people up. #
23:34 #Watchmen Quote my Husband "I predict a run on blue liquid latex and violet wands at upcoming fetish conventions." I do love that man. #
23:35 @DaneCook twitpic.com/1y7gr - I give it two twumbs up! #
23:36 RT @danecook: twitpic.com/1y7gr ( Tee hee hee. I give this pic to twumbs up.) #
23:41 @MontiLee The original or is the remake out already? #
23:43 @MontiLee I remembering my mother telling me how the original gave her horrible nightmares. I probably won't see either. #
23:44 @NicoleMarie913 "New Moon"? Is this a book, film or other? #
23:47 RT @markpitta I loved the first 9 hours of Watchmen then it got kind of slow. #
23:53 @franklinveaux I used to think it was a way to get extra party time around Halloween weekend. Now that they changed it I have NO idea. #
