• OPERATION: MARRY @FELICIADAY Step 9: Send roses. Dunno where she lives so I’ll go door to door. It’s just LA; how many people can there be? #
• Playing frisbee with Snuggles the puma is getting expensive because he swallows. #
• OPERATION: MARRY @FELICIADAY Step 10: Become the best WoW player ever. Now, WTF is a paladin? #
• @writebob Very well! The @feliciaday - @aubretec wedding will be a beautiful ceremony. She probably won’t be there, but it’ll be beautiful. in reply to writebob #
• Okay, I broke down and am trying WoW. Seems hypocritical for me to be working professionally in the field of MMOs but not have played any. #
• There are some very angry frogs in Crystal Lake. These frogs seem to think I’ve ruined their credit or something. #wown00b #
• Happy birthday to me. #
• OPERATION: MARRY @FELICIADAY Step 11: Point out that we’re turning 30 within 5 days of each other. The old biological clock approach. #
• @Ancyru Thanks, Andrew; I hope it does too. @feliciaday’s acceptance of my passive proposals would make a delightful 30th birthday present. in reply to Ancyru #
• It should probably disturb me how quickly I took to wandering the forest, killing people for pennies and bits of spare linen. #wown00b #
• @Ancyru Thanks. I hope you understand if I don’t say I love you too; it’s just that I only know you from Twitter. But you seem nice. in reply to Ancyru #
• @Ancyru No, I appreciate those. But you can’t buy my love. Well, you can, but probably not for 1250L. in reply to Ancyru #
• OPERATION: MARRY @FELICIADAY PLAN 2: Settle for @deliciafay. Not famous, but she has a badly-photoshopped eyepatch, and that’s even hotter. #
• Okay, I was NOT prepared for fire-throwing monkeys. With pickaxes. #wown00b #
• OPERATION: MARRY @FELICIADAY Step 12: Spend 8 hours a day playing WoW in my boxers. No, wait… that’s OPERATION: GAIN 20 POUNDS. #
• @Caprica 1600? Waow. Why not shoot in color and at a normal ISO, then use Aperture to desat and add grain so you still have the source? in reply to Caprica #
• OPERATION: MARRY @FELICIADAY Step 13: Show her my cool stabbing scars. Make up a manlier story involving robots or ninjas. Or robot ninjas. #
• Okay, I don’t want to be that guy, but the man is dead. Gone. Do you think we could wait 24 hours or so before making jokes about it? #
• Didn’t realize before just now that I share the same birthday as Second Life. #
• @Caprica in-camera = ack, ack, ack. in reply to Caprica #
• OPERATION: MARRY @FELICIADAY Step 14: Get my Freeze Ray working. All it does right now is emit a beep and the smell of burning shrimp. #
• It’s @feliciaday’s b-day, but I’m not going to tweet her happy b-day because playing hard-to-get is step 15 of OPERATION: MARRY @FELICIADAY #

• A puma followed me home from the supermarket. I’m going to keep him and name him Snuggles. #
• I’m at a bit of a loss as to what to use as a litterbox for Snuggles the Puma. Right now he’s just using the living room. #
• Saw Exit The King; sat close enough to count Sadler’s nosehairs. Would have done, too, if he’d been onstage for Sarandon’s final monologue. #
• @jadSOFT I would but Snuggles is an indoor puma. in reply to jadSOFT #
• Working up the courage to tell @Alyssa_Milano I’ve been in love with her since Who’s The Boss. Crap! I just did! Damn you, Twitter! #
• I think my cat is plotting my death. #
• Why, when running into a celebrity, is my initial impulse to tell them their own name? “Oh, you’re Tim Blake Nelson!” #
• The new Olympus EP-1 is so hot. I’m glancing around for a box of tissues just reading the preview: http://tr.im/oDaf #
• Though I would have happily given up an extra few cm of size to have a built-in flash. #
• Snuggles just hacked up a shoe, and it’s not one of mine. Damnit; I knew I shouldn’t have installed that puma door. #
• Just discovered The Guild. Operation: Marry @feliciaday ready to launch. Step 1: Introduce her to my puma (and hope he doesn’t eat her). #
• @Ancyru That’s because it’s ridiculous. Better not to think about it. in reply to Ancyru #
• @Ancyru That doesn’t make any sense either. in reply to Ancyru #
• @Ancyru There are awesome robots and shit blowing up right and left. The need for comprehension is minimal. in reply to Ancyru #
• @Eamonn_Forde Speak for yourself. I have beautiful tonsils. Just gorgeous. I get them from my mother’s side. in reply to Eamonn_Forde #
• @Caprica Rapidweaver FTW. in reply to Caprica #
• Operation: Marry @feliciaday Step 2: Play her the entire score of Dr. Horrible on a kazoo (See? I’m musical too). #
• Does anybody know how to stop a puma from kneading? I’m running g out of gauze and tape. And blood. #
• @pradprathivi Tip: Do your own cooking. The English like to boil all the flavor out of their food and then add it back with bizarre sauces. in reply to pradprathivi #
• @aholston Is it the Elton-John-Is-Doctor-Octopus theory? Because I tested that, and it turns out Doctor Octopus is a fictional character. in reply to aholston #
• @pradprathivi Ah, I misunderstood. Foot in mouth! Mmmm… I must admit, though, this foot still tastes better than most English food. in reply to pradprathivi #
• Tweetdeck for iPhone: Because 3,784 Twitter clients isn’t enough for one phone. #
• Watching The Rocketeer: the original “Oh yeah, I forgot about the movie!” movie. #
• This reminds me. It’s freakin’ 2009. Where the hell is my freakin’ jetpack? #
• Where did this guy buy asbestos pants? #
• @MissRFTC You can’t make a claim like that without backing it up with a pic. in reply to MissRFTC #
• Just realized how crazy I must look laughing at Eddie Izzard on my headphones. And, of course, peeing myself. #
• Watching The Rocketeer: the original “Oh, yeah, I forgot about that movie!” movie. #
• That reminds me: it’s freakin 2009 already. Where the hell is my jetpack? #
• And where did this guy buy asbestos pants? #
• OPERATION: MARRY @FELICIADAY Step 3: Engage in delightful repartee. 3a: Stop talking like Fauntleroy. 3b: Stop making obscure references. #
• To those who asked: I bought my puma’s favorite chew toy from Ikea. It also makes a great coffee table. Or used to, before I got a puma. #
• @lesinge No, I don’t know if @feliciaday is already married. Just because I plan to marry her doesn’t mean I have time to Google her. #
• Why do people ask me for luck right before *scratching* the lotto ticket? Bit late, isn’t it? Or is it a Schrodinger’s cat kind of thing? #
• I have just realized I am simply not witty enough to need @birdhouseapp. Or Twitter. #
• TweetDeck = too much effing data. My eyes are bleeding. Maybe, if I tweeted competitively in a league of some kind, I’d need all this info. #
• @Ancyru “PC Fail”… sort of redundant, isn’t it? in reply to Ancyru #
• @jadSOFT No boobs there yet; as I understood the blog, the land isn’t for sale yet. I’m pretty sure the boobs don’t come with the land. #
• My life for Aiur. #
• @isfullofcrap I, for one, appreciate you stepping up to accept responsibility. Very big of you. in reply to isfullofcrap #
• OPERATION: MARRY @FELICIADAY Step 4: Meet Felicia Day. In retrospect, this probably should have been step 1. #
• Note to self: never use a spray bottle on the puma. Also, go to hospital. #
• @writebob Still quietly crumbling. Just like yesterday. #buildingstatusupdates in reply to writebob #
• @writebob Burst a pipe on the second floor, right in front of everyone. How embarrassing. #buildingstatusupdates in reply to writebob #
• People ask me if much has changed since I took in a puma. I guess so; for one thing, my building used to be much more heavily populated. #
• Cole slaw looks like a side salad threw up. How can anyone eat this stuff? #
• Seriously, it’s like cabbage scraps, mayo, and water. Oh, and some people toss in raisins. RAISINS. How horrifying is that?!? #
• OPERATION: MARRY @FELICIADAY Step 5: Get Felicia Day to notice my ardent tweet-love. STATUS: Never gonna happen. #
• OPERATION: MARRY @FELICIADAY Step 6: Cast her opposite myself in a romantic webisode. Now I just need a crew, money, an idea, and talent. #
• Did you ever meet someone that you immediately wanted to punch in the face? Please don’t, in case it’s me. #
• Spent a week building the new Valkerie hoverbike and all of this morning figuring out how to blow it up. #
• Pooping. Just kidding; I haven’t turned into one of those Twitter people yet. OR HAVE I? #
• No, really. I haven’t. I’m standing in a line. FOR THE BATHROOM! #
• No, not really. In line at the bank. OF URINALS! #
• No seriously. I’m just standing in line. For a sandwich. This sandwich better be good. But it won’t be. Crap! I’m tweeting about food. Nooo! #
• Spent a week building the new Valkyrie hoverbike and all of this morning figuring out how to blow it up. #
• Well, I didn’t build it; the very talented Winter Ventura did. I just make it fly and do neat stuff. #
• @michaelianblack There is a joke about tossed salads to be made here but I am far too classy to make it. in reply to michaelianblack #
• OPERATION: MARRY @FELICIADAY Step 7: Attend ComiCon. Refrain from wearing my Spock ears. Kidding; Star Trek can suck it. There, I said it. #
• Taking Snuggles the puma to the dog park for a light snack. #
• @Ancyru Thanks for that uplifting tale. Think I’m going to go leap out of a window, it put me in such a good mood. in reply to Ancyru #
• @graphicgrrl Do NOT eat the fuzzy tacos! They have gone bad; throw them away and get some fresh ones. in reply to graphicgrrl #
• I am trying to like TweetDeck, I really am; the groups thing is so neat. But the interface confuses me and makes me angry. Luc smash. #
• Thinking of downgrading OPERATION: MARRY @FELICIADAY to OPERATION: GET @FELICIADAY TO TWEET ME. Baby steps. #
• Screw it. Go hard or go home, is what I, uh, never actually say. OPERATION: MARRY @FELICIADAY Step 8: Believe in the power of my dreams. #

• @blazes816 I find it sad that the iPhone reached its third iteration before being given MMS, which I had on my RAZR in ‘05. in reply to blazes816 #
• @blazes816 I think that your RoR time would be better spent not duplicating functionality. Unless you’ve got some revolutionary ideas. in reply to blazes816 #
• @jadSOFT Because Second Life hates you. And me. in reply to jadSOFT #
• @blazes816 You mean stupid crappy AWESOME mac. in reply to blazes816 #
• Somebody please give me an excuse to say “That’s like Karl Rove’s soul calling the kettle black.” #
• @jadSOFT Yes, we do. And that is why my pet name for you is “Slam Pig.” in reply to jadSOFT #
• @Ancyru “And I’ll form the shutter release mechanism!” in reply to Ancyru #
• @neko You cut your finger. The lobster presumably got eaten. I think you may still call yourself the victor. in reply to neko #
• @torley and if something is both raw and okay, it’s r’okay! And if something is both raw and a mistake, it’s r’oh-oh! in reply to torley #
• The most annoying offline IM is also the one I get most often: “Hey, I have a question.” Yeah, and that question would be… ? #
• It’s like the tech support equivalent of a knock-knock joke. The faster we get to the punchline, the faster we can get on with our lives. #
• @neko Need a couch to sleep on? in reply to neko #
• @spin That was a closet. Maybe a little less Scotch next time? in reply to spin #
• I have determined myself to be 0.47% gay for @NathanFillion. Is this enough to qualify me for a parade of some kind? #
• @lesinge That’s like Karl Rove’s soul calling the kettle black. #
• @jimjesus Now HH just needs to make a “wonderbread” flavor. in reply to jimjesus #

• @MaggieL No, Apple customer service is great, as long as you’re not trying to get them to live up to their end of a warranty. in reply to MaggieL #
• Just bombed a phone interview. Hard. Fellow asked me what 3% of 7 was and I blurted out “2.1,” as if I had no frontal lobe whatsoever. #
• Worse, that wasn’t even the dumbest answer I gave. Just the easiest one to tweet in less than 140 words. I should be shot. #
• You ever read something you wrote when you were 13 and cringe at how silly it is? That’s how I feel about this interview, only 5 min later. #
• @Shinke True, but I would have been so good for this one if only I didn’t lose my nerve and spiral into complete blubbering idiocy. in reply to Shinke #
• Things, Evernote, 1Password, Pocketpedia, Skype, Jaadu. Anybody else want to recommend good Mac/iPhone syncing companion apps? #
• @slhamlet Why don’t they just wire SL directly into my brain and save me any kind of physical interaction at all? in reply to slhamlet #
• @Ancyru we’ll just assume you wouldn’t mind having lgbt kids who use donors or in vitro. in reply to Ancyru #
• Please stop yelling at me, Oxiclean Guy! I didn’t do anything! #
• @thesneeze ah, you’re in ny? Let me know if you’d like a free beer. I owe you that for “infected corn” - one of my top 10 best laughs ever. in reply to thesneeze #
• Dear Yahoo. Let me be clear: I will never care about #yahoomail so long as it fails to support IMAP. C’mon - it’s been 6 years. #
• @isfullofcrap Celebrities can afford stronger curtain rod mountings. in reply to isfullofcrap #
• @isfullofcrap If this is true, then there may also be a planet of Sarah Shahis, where I might be allowed to roll around in piles of them. in reply to isfullofcrap #
• @Shinke How about “Flapdeback Fistibuns?” in reply to Shinke #

• Linden Labs can create a virtual world, but a persistent login cookie for XStreet is too much of a challenge? #
• @Caprica Aren’t glow in the dark candles kind of… redundant? in reply to Caprica #
• @herdpress why hesitant? Adium rawks. in reply to herdpress #
• What casting director got John Hurt and Jim Caviezel to do a film about a spaceman who crashes in a 6th century Norse village with a dragon? #
• And why am I watching it? #
• Beowulf + Alien = The craptastic Outlander. #
• What’s amazing is not that the movie exists, but that it was made in 2008 and NOT by Sci-Fi Channel. #
• @herdpress Eh, in theory it is (online indicators in Address Book), but in practice you don’t really notice it. in reply to herdpress #
• @herdpress Plus, it’s got WAY more features and supports WAY more protocols (like Facebook IM). And with the right theme, it looks the same. in reply to herdpress #
• @Kittywitchin I’d like to be king of all Londinium and wear a shiny hat. in reply to Kittywitchin #
• Just thought you’d all want to know: these vitamins may or may not improve my health, but they sure do enliven the color of my urine. #
• @TheAuthorGuy I think glowing monkeys are a great idea. Those cheeky little bastards can wreak havoc in the dark if left unsupervised. in reply to TheAuthorGuy #
• @blazes816 That’s what venture capital is for. in reply to blazes816 #
• @blazes816 on the other hand, I’m sure if somebody had described twitter to me a few years ago I would have thought it was below vc. in reply to blazes816 #
• Apple’s tech support is impressively skilled at weaseling out of legitimate warranty coverage in a friendly, “have a nice day” way. #
• This is the third time I’ve brought in a legitimate defect in Apple products within the warranty and been told to buy a new one. #
• Once I bought a brand new iPod, opened the box outside the store, found the screen cracked in the box, and was refused an exchange. #
• Worst part is, I’d love to storm out with a dramatic “I’m never shopping here again” but what else am I going to buy? A Dell and a Zune? #
• @torley I think that assuming (2) simply makes life more interesting. in reply to torley #

I recently applied for a job that I want very badly, and conducted an initial phone interview with one of their HR people. I transcribed the contents of the call, and was hoping I could get some reader feedback on how it went. Continue reading…

Hi there!  I’m the guy behind you in line.  We should know each other pretty well by now, considering I’ve been standing back here with my roll of Tums for about half an hour.

No, please… take your time arguing with the guy at the cash register.  I’m enjoying all the headlines of the magazines in the rack.  I mean, who knew Demi Moore was having Pauly Shore’s lovechild?  That info will come in really useful for me at my weekly housewives bridge game.  You know how we love to gossip!
