I fought the lag and the lag won. Have an open thread.

So my "take four days to recover from jet lag" plan appears to have been a good one, except for the part where it wasn't actually long enough, and I am still passing out at inopportune moments. In the kitchen while making lunch. In my desk chair while writing. In the theater while watching Resident Evil: Afterlife (because the T-virus is apparently soothing unto me).

I need to take a shower. I'm afraid I'm going to drown.

So here: have an open thread. Talk about whatever, post whatever, do whatever (although it would be nice if you could keep the Campbell congrats on the "I won the Campbell" post, just to make them easier to answer). Do not expect prompt replies, as I may be asleep. If you do not see activity from me for twenty-four hours, I have drowned in the shower, and the cats have eaten me. I expect it will take them a week or so to figure out the LJ interface and begin posting.

Game on!

Twitter is possibly the coolest social networking application ever. I have never heard privacy violation stories about it like I have for Facebook, it's designed so you can find people talking about you pretty easily, and it's minimal in what it allows you to do. I appreciate a minimalist design, I do.

Also, it lets me do random things like page my friends to check on lines from a book for me and accidentally get the author herself. ^_^ Or mention, "it'd be cool if Gail Simone did a four-issue mini-series on Elita One's crew" and have Gail Simone @reply me to ask who Elita One is. ^__^

Also, randomly, McFarland Publishing might have some shiny books you'd be interested in. (They write scholarly works about pop-culture! *wriggles* I'm kind of madly in love.)

They published Kenneth Muir's Horror Films of the 1980s. I love them so.

Random celebrity/business interaction is the most appealing part of Twitter to me, beyond some of the hilarious accounts like @FakeAPStyleBook. But I have yet to join. I can't handle another social network!

It's pretty much replaced Facebook for me (which is good, because I never could handle Facebook). It got bonus points for most of the people from high school/uni not being into it. >_>

aaaaaaaaaaaaaa-men.

I'm not seriously on twitter because lack of context drives me insane and it scrolls by too fast, but I like it better than facebook.

Facebook keeps telling me 'find all the people you've lost contact with' and I'm all 'dude, do you know how long it took me to lose them?"
