Man, Mass Effect 2 has a HUGE crush on Joss Whedon. And that’s totally okay with me.
Feel like garbage. Stupid sinus infection.
Worth noting: Not a single one of the 14 tracks on “Revolver” cracks the 3-minute mark.
Also, @unitedairlines can go to hell. Useless company with 100% outsourced indian broken-english-speaking customer service.
Back home from the longest, most stressful and harrowing “vacation” of my life. I need a nap.

Sitting at an outdoor Whole Foods cafe in the gorgeous Texas afternoon listening to Spoon play @ the Waterloo parking lot across the street.
Survived the cropduster flght to DC. now for the connection to Houston.
RT @rands: Guilt is what separates us from the monkeys. And rollercoasters.
I’ll be honest. All a movie has to do is put “Mr. Blue Sky” in the trailer or soundtrack and I’m sold.
Why are characters’ apartments always DARK in primetime dramas? All shows do this. ER, House, Heroes, Dexter. No one owns a lamp.
This is some seriously cool tech. 360° video that you can pan and zoom. http://bit.ly/8FKpEs /via @brillheart
Great speech by Conan. Best farewell show ever. Honest, hilarious, not full of itself. It’s going to be a long 7 months without Conan.
Are there any songs like “I Want You O Want Me” where the live version is stunningly better than the godawful studio version?
Also “I Want You To Want Me.”
Things I HATE: People who are vocal that they’ve bought their “regular” cupcakes elsewhere, but just need ONE vegan/gluten-free one from us.
Little Known Fact: R.E.M. never recorded a song better than “What’s The Frequency, Kenneth?”
HOLY CRAP MY CPU IS LOVING ME: http://www.youtube.com/html5 Opt-in to have videos play natively without Flash.
The Bugatti Veyron Mouse was the greatest thing ever. http://bit.ly/4L7TyM
It says: “For worldwide travel… you may carry on one bag and one personal item such as a purse, briefcase or laptop computer.”
RELATED: Anyone know how big of a “laptop bag/purse” can be carried on in addition to your carryon luggage? United’s site doesn’t specify.
Got my new bag in the mail from @timbuk2 today. The D-Lux Messenger, and so far it’s AWESOME. http://bit.ly/5O6M3N
ALSO got my Checkpoint carry-on luggage from @timbuk2. ALSO extremely nice. Should be handy in Texas & London. http://bit.ly/6lt6WD
90s emo album that has held up surprisingly well: “Something To Write Home About.”
RT @sethmeyers21: With all due respect to Scott Brown, this still isn’t as big a MA upset as Sox coming back from 3 games down in ‘04.
Conan’s always been hilarious as a fatalist, but he just gets infinitely funnier when you add a dose of venom.
And why the hell can I NEVER scroll past Fastball in my iTunes library without stopping in to listen to some of Make Your Mama Proud?
Ever wonder what it would sound like if Regina Spektor fronted The Clash? Of course you have. You’re welcome: http://bit.ly/7SDHoN
Oh! Hello, Arctic Monkeys. You sound different than I recall.
You know what, Democrats? You deserve what you got today. I’m (once again) disappointed in you pussies.
Which leads me to one of the best (very) short Hellboy stories ever. Take 45 seconds to read these two pages. PANCAKES: http://bit.ly/86FgZ7
You know why “Anything Anything” by Dramarama is a great song? Beause it can be played between The Replacements & The Killers on the radio.
Also, I’ve made it my mission to finish the entire Hellboy catalog (something I started a few years ago, but never finished).
Man, Simon & Garfunkel’s version of “A Hazy Shade of Winter” is all sorts of badass. Why doesn’t this version get played on the radio more??
Seriously, Jets fans. Your team has made it to the playoffs and beaten a couple of teams they had no business beating. Start being happy.
Julie & Julia was a steaming turd of a movie. Hated the Julie character. Could see why Julia Child hated her.
Wow, I really hate The Ting Tings.
Is there a better comic book writer/artist than Mike Mignola?
Feel sick and crappy, but must finish Darksiders before Mass Effect 2 takes over my free time.
RT @joeljohnson: I always hoped the “oo” stood for big brass ones. #Google
Rex eats random crap, & tries to hide it when I catch him eating a pen or something—like he enjoys the taste and doesn’t wanna lose it.
I have to admit I’m a little surprised that Julian Casablancas’ solo album is actually pretty good. “Out of the Blue” especially.

Zombie apocalypse held off for another day. You’re welcome, New Orleans. #left4dead2
Dock Ellis was my kind of pitcher. He hit Reggie Jackson in the face, and pitched a no-hitter on LSD, among other things: http://j.mp/2h4W98
And for the record, Greinke deserved it most because he actually made other teams afraid to face the *Royals*
RT @BoredMind: RT @kgoyette: Hooray I can continue to watch baseball. Zach Greinke has won the Cy Young award.
Grabbed Left 4 Dead 2 (360). Gamestop in Jersey City was selling it early. w00t!
Rex also hates flea treatments, as evidenced by my bloody, dog-bitten hands. =[
Goddamnit, @twitter. I changed my password last night. This evening you changed it back to the old one & let the spammers back in. Fuck You.
Yes, I know. Password was changed already, and I’ve never clicked any phishing links. Don’t know how it’s happening, but sorry, folks.
Tweeting for 2 years, 8 months, 4 days, 2 hours, 13 minutes, 29 seconds (March 14, 2007). How about you? http://bit.ly/eC942
