Don't want to get too excited, but I think it went pretty darn well. 15:01 @scapersuse Mine won't happen this week; I have another call on Friday. But maybe next week. And I'll keep a good thought for you! 19:16 At @SJRep to see Double Indemnity. Sure hope it's a comedy. I like those! 22:39 Okay, not a comedy. This James M. Cain guy has serious issues, y'know? @SJRep 23:26 My backup disk keeps going offline. Not good. Looks like trips to Fry's and Costco are in my immediate future. 23:29 Oh wow. My browncoat - or should that be brown coat to avoid TM issues - is in the hands of FedEx.

[Try MPAA.] 12:19 Romney didn't make much in speaking fees last year. Only $374k, enough to put him in top 2% of earners. http://t.co/YNF9RemQ 14:13 @evanmc_s Only fair. I'd vote for Newt if he rejected everything about himself that's repulsive. Of course, there'd be nothing left. 15:57 RT @joshtpm: Newt: I'm no racist. I'm an asshole across the board! [I thought he didn't believe in Equal Opportunity.] 16:25 I hear the Layoff Fairy visited @iStock today. Guess they ran out of ways to screw suppliers & customers & finally had to go after staff. 16:33 @karimala1 Thanks. Been let go a few times myself, so I feel for the victims. Wonder who'll be left to run the forums... 19:09 Guess where I am! (So excited.) http://t.co/4mHP0svz 23:11 The @Mythbusters show at Flint Center was amazing fun.

A director who didn't appreciate the material and reinvented it in a particularly horrifying way. 10:38 @barryeisler @lkblackburne Give special credit to the music. It's more overpoweringly deadly than Rain himself. 10:39 @barryeisler Then I probably shouldn't say anything about the kitten. @lkblackburne 11:36 @barryeisler Hey, at least he didn't stage a reunion with the full grown cat on that NY rooftop. ]]> /cgi-sys/cgiwrap/shiffman/DisorderlyComment.cgi?storypath=/tweet/1806 http://www.shiffman.org/Content.cgi/tweet/1805.html 06:14 Happy Friday the 13th to all my triskadecaphobic friends... tweet Hank 2012-01-14T01:05-08:00 06:14 Happy Friday the 13th to all my triskadecaphobic friends. 15:22 Hey, Google!

It's a lot like What's Up, Tiger Lily?, only with less egg salad. @barryeisler 18:24 Okay, it took two attempts, but I finished Rain Fall the alleged movie. Wow. @barryeisler 21:16 @barryeisler The movie wasn't so bad. If I ignore everything I know about the book & its characters... okay, it still wouldn't be any good. 21:23 @barryeisler Mine certainly does. Still, surprised I haven't heard of the director expiring due to natural causes. 22:10 @lkblackburne @barryeisler If you like slow motion train wrecks, you'll love this one! ]]> /cgi-sys/cgiwrap/shiffman/DisorderlyComment.cgi?storypath=/tweet/1805 http://www.shiffman.org/Content.cgi/tweet/1804.html 13:26 Good photo shoot this morning... tweet Hank 2012-01-13T01:05-08:00 13:26 Good photo shoot this morning.

Kind of pretty in parts, although I have no idea what's going on or why. 21:01 @barryeisler @KiwiSpyGirl Got to the 37 min mark.
