oh god what have i done. RT @BeniHoff: Heard it’d be good for my career to start a twitter war. Figured a Bieber fanpage would be good.
interviewing #vanguard correspondents tmrw, so tonight i’m watching game tape. so far mostly @kajlarsen shooting things.
there is never really an uncreepy way in this town to say “hi, you’re so beautiful, do you want to be in my movie?”
i love my wife. a lot. also i have some kind of beginner’s luck? RT @yayponies: oh shit we totally got those #Phish tickets we requested.

a sneak peek from #vanguard, the super smart investigative show i’m working w/ now: RT @MarianaVZ: My first pow-wow - http://ow.ly/1sQsk
in last week’s GG chuck smiles so much it’s confusing. he has TEETH. (crooked british ones. why do they still skip modern dentistry?)
tracking down 2 MAC eyeliners that i fell in love w/ at the store & were (of course) not in stock. anyone have makeup supply sites to rec?
related: how can anyone think it is a good idea to buy/sell USED eyeliner? some things there should be no resale market for.

hard to look at this excellent denver post photo essay about a kid enlisting & not think of @americanidiotny. http://bit.ly/2sNkfH
first day of using a shorter read list for twitter amidst many back to back meetings. it was 85% omg ricky martin (#yaygay!).
broke a cardinal rule of personal work organization strategy today. now taping loose notes into my notebook & swearing to never do it again.
in my head every time i say “that’s bullshit!” i still hear @thespencersmith’s voice. it only makes me feel a little better.
watching minute to win it clips with @infomania team. can i redeem all those times I declined to declare a tv show the end of civilization?
BRB MIND EXPLODING. RT @lancebass RT @ricky_martin: my life- my vida: http://bit.ly/rmlife

everything about the fans in that gaga bday vid are why i’m a fan. of like, anything in the world, but especially her & all her monsters.
happy to be back in spring/summer/fall writing mode: on the balcony with iced coffee and/or champagne, laptop, headphones, sunglasses.
OH @yayponies: “Before I had the internet, I had crossword puzzles.” [my wife is sooo smart when it comes to word games.]
also in an attempt to both read more books and keep track of those i’ve been reading, i’m back at goodreads. add me there.
swapping echofon in for tweetie. tweetdeck=SOCLOSE to perfect. why no multiple windows? #informationoverload
farmers market. a little too hot and crowded to feel very zen about it.
i really respect the reportage in this @latimes piece about the life of sportswriter Mike Penner/Christine Daniels http://lat.ms/b0Gug9 #fb
(cont’d) good reportage is not always the story we want to hear/see, but it should answer persistent, painful questions (or try to)
if the weather is nice, let’s celebrate my birthday on sat 4/10 in our yard, starting 2pm-ish. all welcome. details to come. #fb

if A-list actors playing against women stuck in “the girlfriend role” said “maybe she needs a little more story here” would it work? #fb
I can only read a little bit of this sad book at a time.
dinner was good company (and hey brian aubert, how you doin?) but questionable food. very happy to be home after a long week.

if you love me, unicorns and/or American freedom you will tune in to @infomania at 10p & @bryansafi will teach you how to win elections.
best disqualification speech on a reality show ever?
