10:36 Took an hour to get to work! That's more than 2x...so thanks to the construction, accidents & idiot drivers. Let's never do it again. #
11:15 Working on an article on the biggest disaster movies - anybody have any favourites? (I'm a sucker for The Towering Inferno...) #
11:33 Note to self...don't Google Image search "Deep Impact" unless you're prepared to get a LOT of non-movie related pics. *shudder* #
12:10 @GValentino - I think both count! And I think both are gonna make my list :) #
12:15 @bmattb - Nice! I always forget about Waterworld...poor Kevin Costner... #
14:50 Ready to punch my car dealership guy in the face. He told me how much something would be but neglected to mention $200 in additional fees! #
14:53 Why do dealerships always do that? "Total cost for that is $800." Me: "Okay!" Them: "That'll be $1053.07." Me: "WTF?" #
14:55 @fuzzz - Yup! I asked for an all-in quote...he gave me one. I made a deposit. Now he's telling me it didn't include everything. Furious. #
14:55 @Deb_Fosten - Hopefully I grabbed the bad car karma today for the both of us... #
15:24 @tyronewarner - Heh...that's a whole 'nother list of movie disasters :) #
16:49 @sixthandelm just brought little Noah by...he's so tiny but looks exactly like @bruceadam. Adorable! #
19:58 Chillin' downtown at the Sheraton with the Mommy. #
23:02 @cherrysberries - Right there with you! #
23:03 Might I also add...John Oliver...Bliss! #
23:06 @cherrysberries - Community or his podcast show? #
23:28 @cherrysberries - Definitely subscribe! It's available on iTunes every Friday p.m. (called The Bugle)...consistently hilarious. #

10:05 @bruceadam - Could your new user pic BE any more adorable? I think not. #
10:08 RT @scribblelive: ScribbleLive in the Financial Post today - "Tech Pitch With A Payout" tinyurl.com/ydv7guz #
16:54 @ryotgrrl & I have decided that the parting phrase of the day goes to @fuzzz defiantly yelling "I'm not sure!!" as he ran out the door #
17:06 Overheard: "Someone should overhear that!" (courtesy of @fuzzz) #
17:29 @fuzzz - That door frame bounce off/run away may have made my week. #
17:45 @modernmod - I remember counting when I still worked there...the Lexus percentage alone went up by 20 pts... #
20:07 @fuzzz - I'm already loving this episode! #himym #
20:27 @fuzzz - I was just thinking that! I think @ryotgrrl is gonna like this one... #
22:16 Nice! It's the Castle ep with Gregg Henry! AND directed by Jonathan Frakes...add in @nathanfillion and it can only mean good things! #
22:33 RT @televisionary My exclusive interview with Matt Weiner about the #MadMen season finale (and S3) at The Daily Beast: is.gd/4RmZI #
22:37 Whoa...my two TV worlds collide. Mad Men's Duck (Mark Moses) is on Castle! #
22:51 @Deb_Fosten - Sweet mother of god and all her wacky nephews...Acora is completely off his tree. So entertaining. #

12:34 Finding it very hard to wake up today...head totally fuzzy. #
14:36 Resisted trying to turn on the TV due to awesome weather...but really craving some Rock Band...so here I go. #
21:38 Back from dinner with the Mississauga family bunch...now waiting for Mad Men to begin! So excited! #
21:42 @fuzzz - I thought that was impressive too! That Seth's got talent...somebody should give that man a show ;) #
22:00 @Movieline - Ha! Awesome Hitchcock reference... #
22:00 Time for Mad Men...this is gonna be GOOD! #
22:55 Am I going to watch the season finale of #madmen again after just watching it? You betcha! God I love this show. #
23:12 @petertravers - re: #madmen...hear hear! #
23:19 Love that my 2 fave shows - Mad Men & True Blood - always end their shows with awesomely appropriate songs. Giving me whole new playlists. #
00:09 @DeathbyChoco - One of my favourites...such an amazing actress. #

02:35 Catching up on the last few eps of Community...Danny Pudi's Bale Batman voice is fantastic! #
02:50 No seriously...I love Community. Seriously makes me giggle from cold open to post-credits awesomeness. #
19:59 Back from a busy afternoon - Civello haircut, spontaneous movie (went to see Men Who Stare at Goats) and a crapload of errands. Exhausted. #
20:02 @punky - No! Unless they'd been living in a no media location...it's freakin' hard to avoid seeing a mention even if you don't care for it. #
00:34 Watching the fabulous Wanda Sykes's HBO special...hilarious stuff. Caught her talk show earlier too - always makes me laugh. #
00:42 @DeathbyChoco - It is! But you're right...it's not cheap! Luckily in Canada we get Showtime and HBO programming on one station :) #

19:28 Had to just try and drop kick my internet connection into submission. As you can see...I won. #
19:32 @Deb_Fosten - oh my god...are you saying that Acora did that? Link please! That man is nothing but crazy (but entertaining)... #
22:26 Celebrating the lovely Kate's birthday at the Sultan's Tent...great way to end a week! #
00:08 Finished the evening at the Irish Embassy...now time to drive the rabble back to the 'hood! #
00:58 Home in time to see Ewan McGregor on Craig Ferguson...my week ends on a completely AMAZING note. Best interviews on talk shows these two :) #

Happy Birthday!

Though I'm not on here as much as I'd like...which means I don't talk with you all as much as I used to...

I still wanted to take a moment and wish my fellow Canuck

desoto_hia873 a very happy (and slightly belated) birthday! Hope you had a fantastic day yesterday!!!

01:19 @whitewinemusic - Will do for sure! Should we plan to have K do newsletters? Get better soon! #
11:41 @fuzzz - Wow...that's VERY odd. So did you bail the guy out? ;) #
13:41 Support Remembrance Day Poppy, add a #twibbon to your avatar now! - bit.ly/11ctu4 #
13:44 @TheGarfoose - Loved the trivia questions! Now I feel like watching the Holy Grail too :) #
15:40 RT @scribblelive: Our Dragons' Den segment is now online for anyone who missed it. It's the last pitch: tinyurl.com/ybl5bap #
18:58 Having a fantastic Firkin dinner and catching up with @melbot and @miVi3k! #
20:59 I'm not one to wax poetic but the moon looks amazing tonight & is forcing me to recall ghostly galleons tossed upon cloudy seas -just sayin' #
21:45 Knew it was only a matter of time...massive sore throat right now. Say it with me....FUCK. This better not be piggy flu. #
23:16 Jon Stewart's Glenn Beck bit is fantastic...he's going for it with gusto and I can't stop laughing. #

10:14 Thought I couldn't get more excited to see Sherlock Holmes then saw this exclusive w/ RDJ & Jude Law: bit.ly/3rJ2S7 (@cineplexblog) #
10:51 @Deb_Fosten - Man, I'm jealous too and I don't even know her! I bet she's got some great stories... #
16:13 Trending Topics confound me...too scared to click on them to see why they're even trending after some very disturbing experiences! #
17:31 What is the point of email if people don't READ IT? Le sigh. #
19:14 Ready to head out to the @scribblelive party to catch the guys on Dragon's Den at 8! I'll be studiously ignoring my brief on-air moment ;) #
20:06 Waiting with an excited crowd for @scribblelive to make their mark in the Dragon's Den! #
21:15 How great did @scribblelive, @keebler, @demonte do on Dragon's Den? And i didn't embarrass myself on tv either...giant win. #
22:08 @GValentino - So glad I wasn't home to see that...BOO! But yay for your dad! Now that's a good story to have :) #
22:10 Thanks, @sixthandelm, @bruceadam, & @jamieearcam! It was a ton of fun to do and I'm so glad I could help them out ('cause they're awesome)! #
22:12 @GValentino - That's too bad! I still say your dad's awesome for even coming anywhere close :) #
22:13 @GValentino - The movie junkie & baseball junkie in me just had a fight over who was more excited. Movie won. Marilyn Monroe!!!! Awesome. #
22:53 I may be watching the Dragon's Den @scribblelive episode again on time-shifting. Just sayin'... #
22:55 @sweetmonimons - Channel 131...still on right now :) #
23:02 @fuzzz & @sweetmonimons - Flattery will get you everywhere :) #
23:51 Son of a bitch. #yankeeswin Though I'm flashing back to '92 and '93 and getting a little choked up, I won't lie. #
23:53 @GValentino - I'll miss that! Maybe you could just Tweet it every once in awhile so we don't forget :) #
23:55 I won't lie, I find this "around the field" cam kind of awesome. Great to see everyone's reactions even if I wasn't cheering for them. #
23:55 @GValentino - Excellent! #
00:02 @sepinwall - I gotta agree. I didn't want to like them but I'm finding most of them hard to resist #
00:03 Is Johnny Damon the happiest guy in baseball? Even before tonight...he just grins all the time. It's kind of infectious, dammit. #
00:06 @Pica_A - Right back at you! Now what do I do until April? #
00:10 @GValentino - Really? Okay...I don't want to like any of them but man, that's hard to resist. Quick...US STEEL! #
00:35 @GValentino and @Pica_A - both excellent plans! I'll have to formulate one myself asap. #
00:36 That Colbert/Daily Show throw was awesome...and yes, I laughed at the Al Gore rhythm/algorithm joke 'cause I'm just that big of a nerd. #
00:41 A question posed to @miVi3k while talking about googling end of the world theories: "How did I terrify myself BEFORE the internet?" Discuss. #
00:41 @cherrysberries - Glad I wasn't the only one! #
00:48 @whitewinemusic - Oh dear! What happened? Are you feeling worse? Sending good health vibes your way... #
00:55 This is made of awesome: RT @tcm Turner Classic Movies to stage first-ever TCM CLASSIC FILM FESTIVAL in Spring 2010! bit.ly/2TpT0B #

10:26 @petertravers - Good rec! Alastair Sim is Scrooge...no one else even comes close. Definitely a good one to pick up and re-watch :) #
10:29 @nautibitz - Normal people are highly overrated :) #
20:57 Back from a lovely dinner with the Mommy. Now watching the fantastic Separate Tables...David Niven and Rita Hayworth are phenom in this. #
22:00 @GValentino -I know! Niven's definitely a favourite of mine- definitely tops my list of "if you could chat with anyone...living or dead." #
22:34 @GValentino - Ha! That reminds me that Betty White is totally high on the list too. That woman is AWESOME. #

01:29 Work for tomorrow morning done...now time for some sleep. #
12:31 @whitewinemusic - if you got me sick, I WILL flay you. That is all. #
12:39 @sixthandelm - That's exactly how I feel about Sundays! It's inexplicable most of the time...but completely accurate. #
12:40 @Deb_Fosten - Ha! True...you'd know where the accent falls on the crappy scale way better than me :) #
14:34 Not feeling so hot today (massive headache and super tired)...hoping it's just the change in weather/time and not anything else. #
17:29 Feeling a bit better since I got outside and got some fresh air (despite the rain). Now to scrounge up some food :) #
19:58 @little_lisae - That sounds exciting! Make sure to tell us who you see! #
20:58 @demonte - Just catching up on Tweets from the weekend and Little Rapper G? Just awesome. So cute! #
21:36 Either I'm getting weaker OR bottle tops are clinging more stubbornly to their bottles. I'm guessing it's the former. #
21:41 @cherrysberries - Love your costume! #
00:17 How did I miss this post from @EWAnnieBarrett of Christopher Walken reading Lady Gaga's Poker Face? BRILLIANCE: bit.ly/2QcQ4i #
00:32 Watching last night's Mad Men again...like it even more the second time 'around. #
00:41 Was going to go to bed but just saw that Billy Connolly is on Craig Ferguson's show tonight. Now I might have to stay up to watch :) #

12:52 RT @colingeddes: My friend was deliberately hit by cab w a passenger Fri night. If you saw, plz contact police bit.ly/MfAL0 #BikeTO #
12:53 Hearing amazing things about the Mad Men episode tonight...I'm SO excited! Can't wait. #
13:26 @KeeblerBlog - oh god. You say that like it's a good thing...lol. Here hoping they focus on my typing :) #
14:40 Finally pictorial proof of my Halloween pumpkin carving adventures...it's Johnny Depp as Sweeney Todd! bit.ly/2gsr2P #
15:52 Watching A Night to Remember on TCM...so much better than James Cameron's 1997 Titanic... #
16:07 @GValentino - Ha! You're not wrong. #
17:01 Ohhh...the Inside the Actor's Studio with Hugh Laurie is on right now. Definitely one of my favourites... #
17:09 Ha! My mom just called to tell me the episode was on...she knows me so well. #
17:12 @PaigeSaid - I saw that! Totally worth watching again too! #
21:49 @EWAnnieBarrett - I can't believe I missed him on that episode of The Colbert Report! Thanks for the heads up :) #
21:55 Is Don Cheadle's Cockney accent in Ocean's Eleven one of the worst in film history? I think it is. #
22:09 I love this show. #madmen #
23:17 It says a lot about the show that even though tonight's Mad Men wasn't my favourite episode, it still managed to be better than 99% of TV. #
23:21 @jaygoldman - Are people posting spoilers? That's not cool! #
00:30 Sunday nights suck...always a slight air of depression hanging over any activities as the weekend comes to an end. Such a horrid feeling. #

01:16 Epic Beatles Rock Band evening with the gang...we rocked out, I won't lie. #
01:20 Wondering if I should be concerned that I've heard not a Tweep from the celebrants at @sweetmonimons b-day shindig...I was expecting pics! #
01:35 @fuzzz - Was that supposed to be a DM? Me thinky yes. #
02:11 @sweetmonimons - That DOES work :) And I thank you. #
02:28 First a True Blood marathon, now my favourite stand-up comedy specials back to back? HBO Canada is rocking my socks right now. #
10:26 @robotjohnny - Great seeing you the other night! I seem to have missed a crucial Tweet somewhere...where are you headed? #
10:51 @robotjohnny - Aha! That's not so far away but any move is a pain...so good luck! I hope everything goes smoothly :) #
14:42 The awesome @fuzzz is helping upgrade me to Snow Leopard. This Mac geek is excited! #
16:36 @sweetmonimons - i'd make fun of him but i benefitted greatly from that candy raid ;) #
23:49 Watching Rocky Horror with @fuzzz, @sweetmonimons, and @miVi3k...Halloween is complete! #
00:08 Touch-a, touch-a, touch-a, touch me...oh young Susan Sarandon...you rock. #

01:11 Happy Birthday to the awesome guitarist of The Patricia Waltons, @sweetmonimons! #
22:18 Not our best trivia showing ever...but still SO much fun. We look awesome in our Halloween costumes as waitresses from Merlotte's #trueblood #
00:19 Just got back from grocery shopping (yes, at 12 am) in my Halloween costume. The blood on my neck got a bunch of double takes. Good times. #
00:22 @fuzzz - Dammit, Janet...that's not right at ALL. Viewing party immediately...complete with sing-along. #

01:16 The power went off during filming of the Late Late Show...but they kept filming...this is gonna be good. #
01:38 @nautibitz - As I am up still working because RL decided to stick its interfering nose in my day, I can relate. We impatient peeps can wait! #
11:13 Office fire drill complete. Why is stuff like this always scheduled for Wednesdays? #
17:19 @fuggirls - I have a feeling this may appeal to you: Tights are NOT Pants - tightsarenotpants.com/ #
17:43 Off to buy the last part of my halloween costume. Who knew i didn't own a white t-shirt? Seems essential to a wardrobe, doesn't it? #
19:32 Costume shirt acquired! And a couple other items purchased too...i know, i was shocked too ;) #
19:39 RT @cineplexblog Top 10 Nightmare-Inducing Childhood Movies: bit.ly/3zAsUH Which movies freaked YOU out the most when u were young? #
23:29 Watching Harold and Maude...love this movie. My favourite soundtrack too...such a fantastic combo. #
23:49 @fuzzz - I just realized yesterday that the parade is only a couple of weeks away! Scary, right? #

10:44 @punky - So excited! Are costumes encouraged? #
15:00 Hey Tweeps - need help! What movie really scared/traumatized you as a child? Writing up an article and feel like I'm missing some good ones! #
15:06 @VivienDean - Either! Could be horror-specific (i.e. Exorcist) or anything that gave you nightmares (i.e. Wizard of Oz witch or similar) :) #
15:30 @bmattb - They were terrifying! I wasn't going to include it on my list, but I may have to re-think that! #
15:31 @ponyup - Good picks! The Watcher in the Woods creeped me out a lot... #
15:32 @VivienDean - Two excellent choices! I was too terrified to even WATCH Alien until about 5 years ago...lol #
15:34 @miVi3k - Ha! Charles Bronson... #
15:34 @haavoc - I have to admit to never having seen that...I should! #
15:59 @tyronewarner - Totally on the list...so scary! #
16:41 Great story about my local PO: RT @blogTO CP Corp is ringing the death knell for the Junction's postal outlet bit.ly/pNxEw #
17:35 Knocked my Kaylee Firefly figurine (umbrella & all) between my desk & the wall - out of reach completely. Not shiny..not shiny at all. #
21:55 Bummed I had to miss the MJ's This Is It screening...but watching Buffy Halloween episodes as I do work makes me feel a bit better. #
21:59 @little_lisae - Totally traumatizing...it's definitely on the list. #
23:54 @ryotgrrl - So glad to hear that! Wish I could've seen the chair dancing... #
00:09 @nautibitz - Post it willy nilly! I mean, ummm, no pressure or anything...go about your regular routine and pay me no notice ;) #
00:15 @ryotgrrl - Heh...I look forward to it! #
00:18 @nautibitz - Seems a fair trade! Can't wait! #

10:45 @fuzzz - I'll take one if you have any left! #
12:00 @Deb_Fosten - I love it too! Just started making lists on the weekend...exciting! #
15:27 YES! RT @LATimesent - Ricky Gervais to host the 67th Annual Golden Globes: t's about time: bit.ly/1ksOl5 #
15:34 @GValentino - Yes! The first host at the Globes since 1995! #
16:03 Having to blast music in my office (door is closed) to keep awake. Nothing like a bit of desk dancing to stay conscious... #
21:46 Really tired but trying to stay awake for Castle's Halloween episodes (full of Whedon-y shout outs)...I need to invest in a PVR. #
22:02 I miss my captain!!!! #castle #
22:22 I can honestly say, as much as I love several amazing tv shows this season, Castle is the one I enjoy watching the most. So entertaining! #
22:56 See? Every year I hope to find a Halloween party like the one on Castle! Never happens. #
23:11 From a great episode of Castle right into a brand new Daily Show with John Oliver and an hilarious segment about religion. Good TV night. #

01:24 Finally watching Twilight...this movie takes itself WAY too seriously but then clearly I'm not the target audience...so who am I to judge? #
10:37 Ah yes...the sweet tones of massive construction going on right over my head. Such a pleasant way to be woken up on a Sunday morning. #
11:39 Off to purchase a pumpkin for the Great Pumpkin Carving of 2009...this year's pattern? Sweeney Todd. #
12:57 What an absolutely gorgeous day! A sunny, crisp fall day...my very favourite. #
13:43 Alright...now time to see if I can drown out the construction by blasting music. Let's see how THEY like it. Bring on the Halloween mix. #
23:03 Missed the very beginning of Mad Men...going to watch the encore now. What an amazing episode! Also? Great Pumpkin Carve is done! #
23:37 Centipede just crawled out of the sink while I was doing dishes and scared the crap out of me. NOT cool. #

01:39 @thisguyscott - I am! But then I'm into a lot of pop culture-related stuff...it's my hobby and my job :) #
11:22 The Drapes of Wrath #oneletteroffmovies #
15:59 Just saw An Education...Carey Mulligan, Olivia Williams, and Alfred Molina were just fantastic! #
20:22 @modernmod - I don't blame you! I think I developed a bit of a crush myself during that movie...she's fantastic! #
20:24 @digallo - Methinks you will love last night's #dollhouse! I need to watch it again... #

21:11 Just saw the new Monty Python documentary - extremely funny and well done! Now need to watch the series for the millionth time! #
23:06 GO Angels! Just sayin'... #
23:32 THAT was the definition of a nail-biter...good lord. Also? YAY Angels! #
23:42 Cannot WAIT for the Halloween ep of Castle - the sneak peek scene (with TWO Whedon shout-outs!) has me SO excited: bit.ly/19eRta #
23:57 @idiotbanter - Was there in March - absolutely gorgeous but driving that road is exhausting! Glad you guys are enjoying yourself! #
