Gypsy's Inklings: Tweet Week

So here's the InkGypsy & 'Og' minutiae from the last week or so - 'cause everyone likes to peek behind-the-scenes...

I have made an effort to report more 'Og' news to keep Daddy in the loop with all he's busy with these days so there's a whole lot to read! (A reminder - the most recent is at the top.)

FRIDAY/TODAY: August 1st

Fail whale has a girlfriend... http://tinyurl.com/5pqljs
Teetering on the edge of soap right now... I have little patience for sudsy shows.
'Think like a fish to catch a fish' - I like it.
This is an odd show. I was told it might take me a while to warm up to it.. funny, considering it takes place in Alaska.
@jrblackwell Stardust - yeah, it had a couple of quotables - need to look up my text to see if that was Neil Gaiman or the screenwriter
My LJ buddies have given me lots of good stuff to read but there are not enough hours left in my day... *sigh*
Og: beatbox baby!
18 month old rapping to Shakespeare - specifically The Othello Rap by RSC - knew those raspberry-skills would be handy for something!
Re previous tweet - it's the argument for there being computers in the Garden of Eden.
"Eve had an Apple and Adam had a Wang..."
Reduced Shakespeare Company on Jeopardy http://tinyurl.com/66spvq LOL! Love these guys.
OK I admit it - I never figured out the deal with the changeling boy in Midsummer Night's Dream. What happened to him? Should we care? about 13 hours ago from web
So the skylight isn't working today....!
@Nobilis Wow - that's.. extreme. They'd be the ones I was suspicious of!
@mudsock Do not press http://www.85qm.de/up/BigRedButton.swf
Lock up your laptops! http://tinyurl.com/5w4728

THURSDAY: July 31st

Brain going - body can't keep up. Lying down does not guarantee I'll sleep but I'll give it a go. G'night.
Goodbye July and good riddance. Hoping August is much nicer to our little world.
OK so this drawing doesn't totally suck. Bloodhounds are harder to draw than I thought though.
OMG Saturn has OIL LAKES on its surface?!! I smell a new space-race in the works... http://tiny.cc/x29lg *headdesk*
@PhilippaJane I watch cross-country wrestling (aussie rules) for that - I'm guaranteed short shorts and cute butts to distract me ;)
Og playing chicken with a squirrel - hmm.
@PhilippaJane Bullrush. *shudder*
@etherius Forgot to say welcome to Cali! We've got... um... 'stuff' I envy your latitudunal (!) destination. Los Strangeles is weird.
Listening to Whispers At the Edge & eating comfort cocoa pebbles.
@PhilippaJane & @TeeMonster 8 days to 08.08.08... Watching for weird things to happen today... [BOTH THEIR BOOKS ARE RELEASED ON 08.08.08]
On the plus side I was wearing less makeup than the clown today & Og thought it was worth getting dragged there so that's good.
The mailbox is not my friend.
Should have used the Visine BEFORE the mascara.
Have to go dress up to meet a mute clown now - pls let it be fun today or I might bite someone's head off - accidentally of course.
Worst frakkin' night's sleep in quite a while and since Og doesn't let me do much at the best of times, that's saying something! *GROWL*

WEDNESDAY: July 30th

Will have to finish my WS quote selection tomorrow. Zleepy!
MP3Mail sent after many interruptions.
C'mon Audacity - no more crashing please!
Og is thwarting my plans for this evening. *sigh*
Trying to explain the difference between nuts and screws to Og - believe it or not, I think he gets it.
@TeeMonster Unless you're wearing chainmail - apparently the electric field makes them act like puppies - I'm not kidding. Weird huh?
@TeeMonster I concur! As an Aussie you'd think sharks wouldn't be a problem for me but they're evil I tell you, EVIL! [RE PEOPLE BEING CRAZY DIVING WITH SHARKS]
Drawing chalk mermaids for @mudsock. Og is trying to wash them away.
Watching Og practicing his Ye Old Bamboo routine with his favorite stick.
@mightymur As a collector of purple appliances it's funny to think you now match my kitchen.
I didn't know ambulances could swim! OK - they don't, they sink but they still have little smiling Tonka faces which makes Og happy.
@GrammarGirl That is SO cool! Congratulations! May you be sent enough champagne to have a bubbly bath and plenty left over to drink! [HER NEW BOOK JUST HIT THE NYTIMES BESTSELLER LIST]
@TeeMonster Just tellin' it like it is ;)
@mudsock Cute! Washing the car with a squirt gun would take a very long time though...
@Nobilis Merci sir! Nice little podcastings on writing to fit in between things. Xlnt! [HE SENT A LINK]
@TeeMonster & @PhilippaJane are on Dragon Page! Go make positive comments and get people excited about 08.08.08
Ow. Knuckle bruise - who thought Og watching could be so hazardous?
@Nobilis Where be these writing excuses ye spake of? (not that I really need any more - I got me plenty!)
@mudsock Oh yeah - Og & I were singing along to Dr. Horrible a lot yesterday...
Jeri Smith-Ready podcast interview - vampire research, writing, rock n roll, her book Wicked Game - very interesting! http://tiny.cc/Dnv8Y
@mudsock Just as well I'm not famous - if I don't eat my words, I don't think other people should!
Og is feeding his cars cheerios. I don't have the heart to tell him they're on a liquid only diet.
Taschen's A Thousand Hounds... fabulous photo book! Og is providing doggy SFX.
Check out @prindiville's latest failed Supervillain! HI-larious! http://tiny.cc/2TiBO

TUESDAY: July 29th

Giving Torchwood a go again. Oh dear - who wrote these lines? Lessons in how NOT to write dialogue. Suspension of disbelief very difficult!
@cmpriest Happy All-About-You-Day! Wishing you nommy food, xlnt drinks, many laughs & other birthday goodness (insert birthday song here!)
@mudsock Music jackpot for you! http://78records.cdbpdx.com/
Scrounging change to go buy chocolate chips - cookie makin' time!
Og, the pasta-haired angel, is playing with penne finger puppets - it's a very stylized way of eating dinner.
Putting the microwave through its paces - gourmet chef am I. Dinner a la zap!
@the0phrastus A link to The Gatherer that works! Yay! More reading for me. Plus love the sketched title!
Listening to Dragon Page and chasing Og's potato puffs around the room.
@mudsock I commented on a little post in Urban Fantasy Fan too... [RE LITTLE STORY I EXPANDED ON WITH A TWIST]
My response to 'Are you prepared for a zombie emergency?': http://tinyurl.com/5e9fd2
Og's dream car http://www.generalcarbuncle.com/
Og is coloring in helicopters with crayons. He prefers brown today and is getting close to drawing wheels (circles) by himself.
@mwsmedia Makes me think an earthquake alarm system would be possible with that kind of delay. Mind you it was a roller, not a true shaker.
@mwsmedia Wason phone to hubbie in Burbank at the time. He's like "Holy crap! Earthquake!" Og & I felt it almost 10 seconds later.
@mudsock Twitter tribe reports feeling quake in San Diego too.
@mwsmedia Og (baby) and I are out in Santa Clarita. Hubbie in Burbank - shaking lasted about 40 secs by both our estimates. [MWSMEDIA IS IN SANTA MONICA]
@mudsock Here's the earthquake stats update page (different one) http://tinyurl.com/6n7cvb
Earthquake! 5.8 Over - Og now trying to shake the doors and walls to see if he can make them move again - cutest earthquake reaction ever!
Just found out Joss Whedon does Shakespeare readings & plays in his backyard every couple of months. Not surprised. (Wanna go see!)
Just watched Dr. Horrible beginning to end on HULU http://tinyurl.com/5e9zeu It's STILL funny.

MONDAY: July 28th

Og is so restless my blog post will have to wait till tomorrow.
On the upside - a long overdue email is done :)
Lipstick Jungle is no Sex and the City but it'll do for a girly fix - if I could get the streaming video to work properly! Argh!
I do NOT feel like writing emails. But when else am I going to get time?
@mudsock Woo hoo! (Now you can read the rest of that chapter) [RE HOMETIME FOR MUDSOCK - HE TOOK THE TRAIN]
@Nobilis Laundrybots! Want!! (Do you pay them in socks?)
Og is demonstrating the dexterity of his toes by picking things up with them. Should 18 month olds be able to do that?!
@mudsock Ah= I see which song you mean now. Well= despite the different song topic I STILL think you have good taste. Compredez vous? ;)
@mudsock Ah. Well, you still have good taste :P
Neil Gaiman is writing a two-part Batman story! http://tinyurl.com/6o5ppl
He he - I also just googled Bechdel's Law to see what others are saying. I'm already bucking the trend apparently - such a pot stirrer!
@mudsock So you like too, huh? (You have such good taste!)
@mudsock I may have to click and listen a lot today... don't know as many as I should! [RE SITE WITH COOL LIST OF SONGS]
@mudsock You read my comment? How did you know where to go?[RE A COMMENT I WROTE ON SOMEONE'S POST DISCUSSING BECHDEL'S LAW FOR WRITERS]
@mudsock Woot! Never heard the whole thing before - me likey! Is that list songs from the show? [MUDSOCK FOUND LIPSTICK JUNGLE THEME SONG IN FULL]
Just wrote an unintentionally deep response to a post on 'Bechdel's Law for Writers'... think I might make a post of my own.
Garbage trucks passed muster so far today, according to Og.
Og is playing with the yodeling pickle.

SUNDAY: July 27th

Love the Lipstick Jungle theme song! Now, if they would only release it...
Looking at underwater art online. Getting the drawing bug again.
Washing the cars with Og - lotsa cute photo ops!
Og and his truck book wins... for now...
Listening to Chasing the Bard Ch 19 while Og serenades me. I need two sets of ears it seems.
One of the furry protectors updated with rabies booster - now to send the license fees to the county - keep 'em both legal.

SATURDAY: July 26th

Thinking about babies with scaly heads - it's a Mer thing, not an Og thing. Obviously I'm half-asleep. Time to get the other half there too.
@mwsmedia (re The Author's Responsibility) Amen! Enough executives kill good stories w/out us adding to the problem. Stay true! [RESPONSE TO TWEET ABOUT HIS BLOG POST http://tinyurl.com/5v8yzb ]
Nappies are budget killers.

FRIDAY: July 25th

Watching the equivalent of late night TV movies... sux not being able to sleep - too tired.
It's been a very long day and it's not done yet...
Drawing really bad looking cars in chalk - except for the porsche - that turned out cool. Luckily Og thinks they're all cool.

@mightymur Happy Princess Day! This year I give you the gift of royalty, um, royalties (on the 25th!) & wish you many (xlnt) martinis! [IT WAS MIGHTMUR'S BIRTHDAY]
...No Gymbo appearance today :( but there were dog puppets and foam bugs to squash. Next time, no butterfly print sox for me. Og like music!
Og loved the maracas (predictable, right?), the drums were a hit (ha, get it?) and he was there with bells on (literally)...
I'm sorry, what's that day supposed to be about again? http://tinyurl.com/5gnss6

THURSDAY: July 24th

Earbuds hurt my ears! Think I need a mini-version or a single headphone instead.
SpitTheDummy post-Adventures of AquaBoy:GreatHoseDiscovery http://tinyurl.com/6nync9

@mudsock And just what inspired your 'research'?! [RE SUPERGLUE USED DURING WAR TO STICK SKIN TOGETHER OVER WOUNDS]
Og slept thru his alarm - my little nightowl forgot about seeing Gymbo the clown today. Will try for a make-up class tomorrow.
Having to re-follow people after the last Twitter glitch.

WEDNESDAY: July 23rd

@TezMillerOz Funny speculation on your cover post re Pride. I had similar thoughts - pride = family in her case, right??
Og eating pasta - watching him turn into my 'pasta-haired angel'.
Listening to Zumanity s/track.
Just vacuumed and detailed the main bedroom, backroom and kitchen. Very difficult with clingy Og!
@kimidreams You can always email him through LJ.
(Mama) What's your name? (Og) "Ja!" (Mama) Yes! (Og just said half his real name - I'm SO proud)
"Dadda" (Og speak for Daddy)
Little Wombat books are Og's second favorite.. after all the truck and car books of course!
(voiceover voice) "HD makes your heroes testosteronier.." seriously?
Brak-bah! (Og-speak for 'tractor')
@mudsock Slow morning?

TUESDAY: July 22nd

I'm not sure if it's funny or freaky that the CIA might really work (and talk) this way. Bourne Ultimatum. Love this stuff!
Want! http://www.zazzle.com/failwhale (Fail whale t-shirts & other goodies)
@TeeMonster Shakespeare quotations, passion, fighting, death scs... hope you're including some of these on your reel - impressive range!
@TeeMonster Really love your work on Chasing the Bard. I keep forgetting I'm listening to 'Tee' (that's a compliment!)...
I'm STILL getting fencing newsletters from Swordplay, even though I haven't fenced in, um almost 5? years now. Makes me miss it - kinda.
Just glanced at the time - that took a LOT longer than I thought it would. Damn! Just when the DVD player decides to work too!
