• Fri, 15:18: I just saw a weight on my scale I haven't seen for (literally) years. I have now lost ten pounds. \o/
• Fri, 18:24: Well, that was just SAD. I have written better fiction than "Way of the Wicked" that I TRUNKED. Christian Slater, what are you doing.
• Fri, 18:26: Hey, Christian, wanna star in a movie with giant bugs and dead killer whales? Gimme a ring, babe, we'll make this thing happen.

• Fri, 18:42: Or we could do the cat-torturing serial killer who doesn't know he's The Guy until the end. (There's a reason these are my trunk stories.)

I don’t do Twitter. I don’t follow Twitter. I don’t understand the appeal of Twitter. But your and ozma914’s tweets (reproduced on LJ, because I don’t follow Twitter) can be vastly entertaining.

BTW, inebriation also helps if for some reason you happen to be watching any television that features Barack Obama with his lips moving.

Basically, I use Twitter for bite-sized thoughts too short for LJ, and keeping up with authors, actors, and pundits I like.

There is not enough booze on the planet for me to watch that man on TV, whether his lips move or not. :p

I read the text of Obama's speeches later (know your enemy) -- for some reason, reading them instead of watching them leaves me slightly less enraged.

I just figure I know what he'll say before he says it. "Blah blah, you didn't build that, blah blah, greedy rich people, blah blah, I didn't know until I saw it on the news, blah blah BUSH'S FAULT."

Nailed it.

You can't get the old speech transcripts, anyway -- the government lost the e-mails they were on.

The only time I did it deliberately was when I watched the 2012 debates with Mitt Romney. I really did want to see what came of that, and a succession of Bloody Marys helped quell the urge to heave something heavy at the TV screen whenever The (Self-)Anointed One was speaking.

So I should take up drinking until 2016? I'm cool with that.

Basically, I originally got on twitter to sell my books. (Which, by the way -- hasn't helped.) But yes, it does help, as Agilebrit said, to keep up with certain people of interest.

Sometimes I wonder if getting a Twitter account hasn't been an active detriment to sales, considering some of the things I tweet, but if I'm going to be blacklisted for being conservative, then maybe I don't want those people to publish me anyway.

I don't write about politics all that much, but I don't try to keep my feelings secret, either. Considering how many left wingers go out of their way to offend anyone who's not marching in lockstep, I don't worry about offending them in return.

Periodically entertaining, all the same.

Just like me!
