In today's Twitter post round-up:

• Watched "This Emotional Life" doc, and the summation: need friends to be happy. As an ever-broke SAHD w/no real-world friends: I know...duh.
• I need something 'magical' to happen in my life, soon. Where is my fairy godmother?
• That's enough melancholy for Friday, now I need to channel it into some bleeding prose.
• What to work on: monsters, mythic figures, zombies, dark fairytales, post-apocalyptic sci, weird west, 'secret'-punk? Have much to complete.
• . @mmuenzler Yes. I just don't know how to establish those relationships. When your friends of 20+ yrs desert you, it's hard to start over.
• . @JLCoburn @mmuenzler Mother told me 2 things before deserting me: don't dig in a woman's purse & don't drive across TX. I've defied both.
• . @inkhaven "some day i'm going to hire @jeremiahtolbert to design my website...added this to my wish list." --ditto (I may never afford it)

In today's Twitter post round-up:

• Today (6/3) is a sad day: my little brother's birthday. He vanished around 1999, and even though he was a bad guy, I occasionally miss him.
• Happy I won the @sfsignal giveaway of 'Tel Aviv Dossier' by @LavieTidhar, pubd by @chizinepub, but feel guilty: was going to buy it in 3wks!
• Need to finish some short stories, but want to add some words to one of the novels too. Lets see which file 'inspiration' will lead me to...
• "For a supernatural thriller to succeed one must keep one foot in each world—the mundane and the extraordinary" Bob Freeman/@OccultDetective

In today's Twitter post round-up:

• Excited, amazed, and honored to win 3rd place in the @ShockTotem Flash Fiction contest. Anyone who reads this, and voted: thank you! (Again)
• Finally watched "Being John Malkovich" last night (yes, 11 years after it was released) and thought it was a delightfully gonzo movie.
• "FINALLY watched LOST finale in rural Kenya." -- @joshuagates <--[Wow, amazing. Ultimate 'where were YOU when you watched the LOST finale?']
• . @mattstaggs Webcomments make it too easy for the unrestrained, apathetic, & tactless to wag their tongues, shake fists, & take cheap shots

In today's Twitter post round-up:

• Wow, Bob Larson (crazy christian exorcist) is a wacko charlatan with even crazier followers. Saw this cheat on a NatGeo show and was miffed.
• Have some stories in-the-works that I LOVE. Writing is wondrous; being enamored with your craft is a marvelous gift we *can* give ourselves.
• You should do a Kickstarter for "Weird Tells: Fantastic Stories of Gambling" Look at this successful one by @Metafrantic bit.ly/9AAN2

In today's Twitter post round-up:

• RT @inkhaven: i just want to hug the self-doubt out of every single struggling writer out there <--[would have to hug me until I passed out]
• Some maven writers you likely never heard of(not inclusive from everyone I follow) @winnie3k @AdamIsrael @inkhaven @bnapier @NateCrowder #ww
• Went to $2 theater ($1 Tues) for "Alice In Wonderland" again, this time with the family. Liked it a few fractions better than the 1st time.
• Really must finish some of these stories I have lying around bleeding, and screaming for resolve. Several of them won't stop haunting me.
• You know, I think Classmates.com is one of the worse spammers there is. They're a spammer in corporate clothing.

In today's Twitter post round-up:

• Thought the CHUCK finale was pretty damn satisfying. It's made even better by knowing this 'little-show-that-could' will have a 3rd season!
• Watched Harlan Ellison documentary "Dreams With Sharp Teeth," intriguing. Related to many of his diatribes (like being told not to be angry)
• Sitting in $2 theater to see "Alice In Wonderland" again, but this time with the family (and a better attitude). We'll see how it goes...

In today's Twitter post round-up:

• Watched 2 things Sunday that left me w/mixed-emotions: Alice in Wonderland($2 cinema) & the LOST series finale. I'm bewildered & unresolved.
• Oh, LOST--too many questions left unanswered, too many mysteries linger. No true resolution; you never really gave up your secrets, did you?
• RT @pabba: I'm in a really odd mood today thanks to #LOST. Don't expect much from me in any sense or form. <---[This is how I'm feeling too]
• I hate life right now: received an email that has ruined my already deficient day.
