10:21 @Dark_Puck Can you lay off New York? With natural disasters, you have to prepare for the worst. We got LUCKY. It won't always happen. #
10:32 @Dark_Puck *shrugs* I was watching a NYC-local channel, and they spent much more time on VA, NC, NJ, and LI than NYC. #
10:41 @myyrdneopia My most triumphant acquisition was a $150 physics text for $30. I got most physics/math texts like this. t.co/AEVfItu #
10:45 Kickass women of color throughout history: "Stagecoach" Mary Fields t.co/EwAkVQD #
11:18 Political cartoonist responds to brutal intimidation tactics with awesomeness: t.co/R3Pv4H8 #
11:31 @ruesal Not every person who mouths off to brutal authority figures is Harry Dresden. :D #
11:36 Holy cow. Via @maryrobinette on Writing Excuses, I learned that Discworld's clacks towers were REAL: t.co/cG1JNGW #
12:32 An Open Letter to Spirit Airlines: t.co/yPigiHw #
1 5:59 @ENDvy Never what? #
18:54 I know @longshotauthor's "tavar" is based on the fossa, but it's kind of fun imagining it as a honey badger. #
18:56 Mostly b/c I get to imagine Tavi sneering at the vord queen, "Gaius Tavarus don't care." (Breaking @longshotauthor's characters since 2005!) #

00:03 Watching over me tonight: plush Adipose, octopus, and influenza, and jade foo dog. #
08:00 RT @NYTMetro: 51,363 #NYC residents now without power, officials say. Nearly half in #queens.//Hope Lisa's ok! All is fine in Alphabet City. #
09:35 The sun's coming out! #irene #
10:32 At 8am, peak surge time, I ventured out into the rain to explore the East River Park around 6th Street. #irene #nyc t.co/qUgsxYU #
10:40 I am disappointed I never got to use my menorah. #irene #
10:57 @IrishOberon Filking songs that don't rhyme is not as fun. :D #
11:02 @IrishOberon There's a wolfhound who's brave and so loyal and good / And he's climbing a stairway to sausage... #
11:03 @byharryconnolly The lifestyle of the writer is a glamorous one! #
11:22 @HarriedWizard Can the bib be pink, with a happy cartoon tiger licking its lips embroidered on it? #
11:30 Roommate laughing at how he's been woken up more by traff ic sounds than he was by the storm. Best night's sleep in NYC ever! #irene #
11:37 Glad the hurricane's over. I'm running out of disaster shirts. Saturday: Zombies, Sleeping: The Griff, Sunday: Harry Dresden is my Co-Pilot. #
11:41 @ardentdelirium SDCC! #
11:49 @ksmccarthy24 Fine and dandy! It's shaping up to be a lovely day. #
11:52 @ksmccarthy24 I pet the kitty hello and give kitty's mom mega-hugs! How was the storm where you are? #
12:19 @fourteenacross "I swear, the sandwich was THIS BIG..." #
12:22 Lunch: scrambled eggs and julienne veggies! #
13:41 Sent off my professional badge application for NYCC! #
13:53 @saladinahmed I have never wanted to clone myself more than this moment. #
13:54 *closes my irene-nyc list tab* #
14:28 @sinspired Nah, the changes in the weather did us a small favor. It was a fool moon. #
14:36 Found a NYC food bank near me via t.co/Q4O2l8s I'll drop off my extra provisions later today! #
16:57 I have delicious peaches! Oh yeah, that's how I roll. #
17:00 Haha, SeamlessWeb lists 33 restaurants open for delivery, instead of the conventional hundreds. Wonder how many there were yesterday. XD #
17:29 Woohoo, data entry! #
17:35 @kellhound Holy yeesh. They ok? #
17:36 Dear Priscilla, Tweeting about data entry was not meant to turn into procrastinating doing data entry. Back to work, slacker! Love, me #
18:33 @kellhound Good for your mom. What a nightmare for them to come home to! #
18:41 TONIGHT, WE DINE ON SUSHI! #
18:42 Wait... Because of the hurricane, it's unlikely that their supply will be freshest. Best go someplace else. #
18:47 @HarriedWizard You know Burger King is pink slime. #
19:19 I tried to write "Chicks Dig Time Lords," but I accidentally wrote the first word as "Christ." I'm sure he digs them, too. #
19:22 @saladinahmed Why must the awesome con of awesomeness coincide with my first week of class? And why do I not have Multiple Man's superpower? #
23:17 Wow! Irene did a brilliant job cleaning my windows. They practically sparkle! #

00:13 Assembled menorah, so I won't have to fumble in the dark if the power goes tomorrow night. Singing French Chanukkah songs under my breath. #
00:18 Browsing TV tropes, deciding which disaster movie stock character @longshotauthor thinks I'd be. Red Shirt Reporter or Doomed Contrarian? #
00:27 @qbertina Wow. That beats my menorah by a MILE in the Trivialization of Items of Great Religious Significance-off. #
00:30 Zone A: Evacuation Incomplete. t.co/uG9Nh5V #
00:31 Zone A was supposed to be cleared of cars by 5pm today. Whoops. t.co/RwEnCGw #
00:32 @ljredeye Yup! #
00:33 @ljredeye Crazy like a fox! #
00:35 @mkcho73 If power goes out, sandwiches are an easy meal that doesn't require refrigeration or cooking. #
00:37 @soundcolorlife Mask project? Ooh, tell me more! We should grab food sometime when the city isn't threatened by the Wrath of God. #
00:38 @slky75 No, the city won't move the cars. The flood waters will. :D #
01:00 @slky75 Folks were supposed to move their cars from the flood zones so the cars wouldn't be damaged or damage other things in the storm. #
01:02 Goodnight, New York! You're going to be a very different place in 24 hours! #
09:38 Listening to Bloomberg. Sounds like power loss for my apartment is a high likelihood, as ConEd will probably shut it off to prevent damage. #
09:44 I'm going to go out and do some photography before transit shuts down. Any aspect of the hurricane prep you want to see? #
10:08 A grocery store receives emergency provisions. t.co/5gfYiq9 #
10:09 Sold out of bread! t.co/AXHafAK #
10:10 Everyone at Duane Reade is buying water! t.co/w26vD9q #
10:10 A bus stands ready to transport Zone A evacuees. t.co/1S8x0eN #
10:13 Joggers say, "Hurricane? What hurricane?" t.co/u9IPhSI #
10:16 Not the smartest place for these emergency vehicles. They're only about 4 ft above sea level. t.co/t6RazFq #
10:19 Athletes enjoy their last few hours before the storm on one of three outdoor tracks in Manhattan. t.co/P1yR02U #
10:21 Clouds gather over the Williamsburg Bridge. t.co/34XzJ54 #
10:22 And north, towards midtown Manhattan and Queens. t.co/h3ncNb4 #
10:25 The East River is not entire ly devoid of traffic. t.co/uKAjn2X #
10:28 Construction materials are fenced in. I suspect that heap of sand won't last long. t.co/ruhA6Wu #
10:33 Ah, good! The park vehicles are being moved. Maybe they saw my tweet. :D t.co/PakzozA #
10:38 Electronic signs demand mandatory evacuation of coastal areas. t.co/16tWHC1 #
10:40 Ambulances and police presence at Jacob Riis. t.co/XzebmCR #
10:51 Firetrucks are mobilized. t.co/eqJLrU0 #
10:52 Stores of Avenue C (Zone B) shutter their windows. t.co/Gkf7N27 #

10:57 The ConEd plant stands adamant. t.co/Ukwf5M3 #
10:58 Neither rain nor snow nor gloom of hurricane stays this USPS employee! t.co/vUjJKfi #
11:01 The Alphabet C afe remains defiantly open! t.co/hqINfCe #
11:04 As does this laundromat! t.co/wSh8yvK #
11:05 Okay, picture show is over. It just started POURING. Heading back to my apartment while the 14D is still in operation! #
11:06 @muppetK Manhattan! #
11:07 No charge for public transit, at least until they shut it down in an hour. t.co/Ecjw8Ky #
11:09 More shuttered entrances. Seeing any place open is a rarity. t.co/AXEZnlq #
11:54 Many cars still haven't evacuated by noon. t.co/IqYOdlw #
11:55 Grocery store receives a shipment of bread, but doesn't bother shelving it. It'll be gone soon! t.co/ciYa7wB #
11:57 Woman on ABC interviewing residents on A/B border, finding who plans to evacuate. Sounds like an even split. :D #
11:57 Sorry, CBS. #
12:01 @Julie_Butcher Yup! I'm sitting on my couch, watching the news coverage on CBS! #
12:01 Residents discover the appeal of candles, in the absence of flashlights. t.co/DOGEqB6 #
12:05 Bought a cooler/ice. I don't care about 90% of my fridge contents, but if Irene destroys my Mara's Homemade gumbo stash, we will have WORDS. #
12:05 @ljredeye No, I'm posting from my apartment! #
12:06 I'm back in my apartment, folks! I'm posting photos I took earlier today. #
12:16 Dear Google Alerts, SCREW Y OU. t.co/jz2uAi5 #
12:30 @killash Yes, I'm above sea level! I wouldn't have stayed if I were lower than I am. #
13:00 Subway shutdown in #nyc. MTA.info home page now dominated by euphemistic, "Service Change." #irene t.co/yU8KKV2 #
13:20 @cerebralcutlass Nope, but there are definite perks! I'm very happy with our arrangement. #
13:32 Testing tweeting by phone. #
13:35 @jbkuma It was Lisa's doing. It's all above board. :D #

13:48 @G2Hutton NYC #

13:48 @MatthewRasins No royalty checks. The photos were given to a friend at a news agency in gratitude for favors past and future. :D #

14:45 HELLO, RAIN! It went from clear to torrential in about twenty seconds! #

14:46 RT @jbkuma: Irene's profile on OKCupid t.co/v8l8DdC #

14:47 @byharryconnolly Unfollowed! Quick, take a screenshot so I can re-follow you! #

15:01 @byharryconnolly @fredhicks Re-follow'd! #

15:36 @theliz13 I've offered them to a friend who works in the news. One of them has been picked up! I'll post a link later. #

16:23 @KevinHearne Yeah, there are already three ratings on @longshotauthor's COLD DAYS, averaging 4 stars. Jim has written exactly one sentence. #

16:23 @KevinHearne People on the internet make me want to headdesk a lot. #

16:26 Mom chides me for the gluten content of sandwiches as hurricane survival food. THERE IS A TIME AND PLACE FOR THIS AND IT IS NOT NOW. #

16:32 I'm sorry I was too busy trying to find flashlights and batteries and bottled water to stop by Whole Foods for some quinoa, Mother. #

16:36 @soundcolorlife No love for Zone B? Aww, Trendfail. Word to my neighbors and people unsure if they should evacuate or not! #

17:30 @ENDvy Never underestimate the power of Twitte r! #

18:23 @Dark_Puck The hell? Tweets from NY do not prevent tweets from VA and NC. We have every right to express our concern and prepare ourselves. #

18:24 @Dark_Puck If you don't like my NY-Irene tweets, put together a list of all the non-NYers tweeting about Irene and ignore all else. #

18:30 @byharryconnolly I'm wearing my Talent Pipes for precisely that reason! And my zombie shirt because, well, zombies. #

19:23 What do you mean, "cartographed" is not a word? It makes p erfect sense to me! Stupid English. #

19:39 @Dark_Puck Huh. I'm watching CBS' NYC-local affiliate, and they're showing a balance of NY, NJ, NC, VA, and elsewhere. #

21:14 How awesome is Rory? Really, really awesome. #doctorwhorricane #

21:25 CBS Reporter: "Now, not everyone has a boat..." #

21:30 I think I have exhausted my supply of hurricane excitement. Now I'm just bored. It's barely evident it's raining here. #irennui #

21:34 I think I need to bring back the Hurricane P laylist! In honor of NJ & DE, let's start with Neko Case's "This Tornado Loves You." #

21:59 @elrond25 It hasn't really hit yet. The rain is pretty tame. #

22:43 @jbkuma I'm not isolated, though! This could be any other Saturday night in, ever! I have the internet and power and everything! #

23:14 @gillyperkygoth @Esperacchius HUZZAH! #

23:22 @byharryconnolly Won't that skew your sales numbers, though? #HarryCForNYT #

23:30 Turned down the lights, turned off the A/C, and opened the window a crack, so I am at least aware it is raining. #

23:31 It's barely even sprinkling here. Most disappointing hurricane ever. #

23:34 @myyrdneopia Ah! I thought the main storm was supposed to get to NYC around 8pm. That makes sense. #

23:35 @myyrdneopia Cool. I'll just go to sleep, then. Emotionally exhausted. #

23:37 Bedtime for Cellies. Night, all! #

23:39 @SheckyX Oh, absolutely. Gotta keep all safety precautions in place, just in case. #

23:30 Turned down the lights, turned off the A/C, and opened the window a crack, so I am at least aware it is raining. #

23:31 It's barely even sprinkling here. Most disappointing hurricane ever. #

23:34 @myyrdneopia Ah! I thought the main storm was supposed to get to NYC around 8pm. That makes sense. #

23:35 @myyrdneopia Cool. I'll just go to sleep, then. Emotionally exhausted. #

23:37 Bedtime for Cellies. Night, all! #

23:39 @SheckyX Oh, absolutely. Gotta keep all safety precautions in place, just in case. #

08:35 More photos from Colorado: t.co/MvCxKKT and t.co/RAzrHDR #

08:40 @PrarthnaSri It's a mystery. @longshotauthor's editor was looking into it, but something must be halting her progress. I'll inquire again. #

08:42 @muppetK @longshotauthor I submit that Alan Tudyk would make a brilliant Toot-toot. #

09:59 .@audible_com thinks I "may enjoy" the Codex Alera and the Iron Druid series. I wonder where they got that idea? #

10:02 @PrarthnaSri Just so I know what to tell @longshotauthor's editor, are you having trouble with all Dresden books or just Ghost Story? #

10:10 @byharryconnolly Enjoy! Man, now I want to reread again... #

10:29 @muppetK We should! I'm planning a big bowling event for local Butcher fans sometime in the next month or so. You should come! #

10:31 My #fridayreads is HEXED by @KevinHearne in dead tree format and OLD MAN'S WAR by @scalzi in my earholes. #
10:40 @muppetK @BobLeSkull He's part of a game! The full list of characters in his group is here: t.co/6fzHger #
11:05 Hey, Twitter! What music should be on my hurricane song mix? Anything involving hurricanes, high winds, and heavy rain are welcome! #

11:12 My coworker Brittany started the Hurricane Playlist! t.co/Wlc9Al7 #

11:23 Brilliant suggestions! @ee1013 @mandey_moo @AnneSowards @myyrdneopia @j3nnee @muppetK @jacobatom @fredhicks @rileyofdragons @katty_rosie #

11:38 Woohoo! I just got one of th e first #Spotify accounts in the U.S. Sign up for an invite here to get Spotify for free: t.co/CyckjBM #

12:31 @HarriedWizard I can see why you'd think that. Their Head of Communications is named Jim Butcher. :D #

13:12 Hurricane preparedness list for NYers vs the rest of the world. t.co/p5zX5cs (via @aubreygirl22) #

13:44 So... looks like I'm going to have to decide tonight whether I'm go ing to evacuate. I'll probably stay, as the storm will be a category 1. #

13:51 @jeditigger I live in Alphabet City in Zone B, right on the border of Zone A. Second floor. #

13:51 @boymonster I haven't! What's it about? #

13:53 Holy crap. Bloomberg is requiring a mandatory evacuation for Zone A. /Technically/ I live in Zone B, but I live right on the border... #

15:01 The four stores I visited were out of flashlights, batteries, and candles. So I found a place I knew had candles. t.co/pfa9S9I #

15:44 @NYTMetro I'm just on the B side of the Zone A/B border in Alphabet City. While evac is not mandatory for B, is it recommended? #ireneqanda #

17:55 RT @NYTLive: Will cell coverage hold up during the hurricane? nyti.ms/q1I5tG #irene // AT&T doesn't work when there's NOT a hurricane. #

18:23 @Julie_Butcher Yup! All public transportation will shut down tomorrow at noon! #

19:10 Checked my apartment's elevation on Google Earth. The likelihood that the storm surge will get within a BLOCK of me is less than 5%. #

19:49 There is no question what I will be drinking at Theresa's farewell party tonight! t.co/2ZhwzYN #

20:09 Yum! t.co/942JPTa #

21:36 @Julie_Butcher @jeditigger Did you miss the part where the chances of the surge getting anywhere near me were <5%? #

23:32 Roommate also bought water: a crate of bottles to match my two gallon jugs. And he has a flashlight to accompany my... menorah. #

23:37 @soundcolorlife The stores were out of flashlights and candles! I improvised! :D #

23:39 @soundcolorlife Get lots of water, then! A gallon per person per day. #

11:07 @SheckyX @Esperacchius @myyrdneopia I think you're taking things to a dramatic extreme, dude. :D #

11:08 @fredhicks @rdonoghue I approve of these regular walks. A+! #

11:12 @SheckyX @Esperacchius @myyrdneopia Usually, folks don't call getting dumped a First World Problem. It's saved for genuinely trifling stuff. #< /a>

11:13 @barrymorton @ShannonKButcher @longshotauthor Thanks so much for supporting the Avon Walk for #BreastCancer and @BooksForBoobs! #

11:17 @Esperacchius Look for some of that magic water! Add 6 inches: instant Harry! And you'd bang your head on stuff even MORE! #

11:28 @ksmccarthy24 @SheckyX @myyrdneopia @Esperacchius People who use "FWP" against serious situations are Doing It Wrong. It should be funny. #

11:29 @ksmccarthy24 *glomphugschnoogle* Anything I can do to bring a smile to your face, m'dear? #

12:02 via @mkcho73: NYCers, see if you're in an "evacuation zone": t.co/lZ1xfPv I am on the border of zones A and B! Highest flood risk! #

12:53 I'm working on a pre-teen boy character. Male supervisor said to make his lips more soft and pink. I am mocking him mercilessly. #

14:04 I have "Bad Romance" stuck in my head, and you know what? I'm okay with that. #

15:56 @SheckyX Is that where Emma Frost vacations? #

16:38 Yay! I have a friend who will take me in if Bloomberg makes me evacuate! #

17:59 @SheckyX I don't want to be *too* far from the excitement. :D Thanks for the offer, though! #

00:07 My sister is looking at a travel discount site. An activity in the Dominican Republic: "palm watching." What do you think it means, Twitter? #

00:42 iPhoto's facial recognition software tagged a photo of Eliza Dushku as me. For obvious reasons, I'm sure. #

01:17 @theliz13 Nope, I'm in "Whedonistas," which has a lot of authors in common. "Whedonistas" came out too recently and wasn't eligible yet. #

01:28 More People iPhoto Thinks Are Me: My coworkers (male & female), many heavy dudes, my mom, Jim Butcher, Scott Wolf, Jessica from True Blood. #

01:35 @j3nnee Certainly! As soon as all the awesome cons give me free transportation and housing and passes and stuff. #

01:38 @j3nnee Squee! #

09:45 Fight #breastcancer! Bid on signed SFF novels w/ photos, incl @longshotauthor @brandsanderson Rothfuss @Nnedi t.co/r3Oeajl PLS RT! #

15:49 Groupon offered me a discount on "organic cupcakes." I'm pretty sure they're just as unhealthy as regular cupcakes, Groupon. :D #

15:30 @brennabren @nelspen @fourteenacross I was being silly. :D I'd much rather be in CO with you than attend a concert! #

15:32 mwaha, I just got to read scratch V.O. in an outrageous French accent. :D Some days, my job is freaking awesome. #

18:15 @alyankovic Anterior Superior Iliac Spine! ...okay, clavicles are pretty cool, too. #

18:19 @jeditigger @SheckyX HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY! *glomps* #

18:43 So glad I gave myself extra ti me to get to the airport. The shuttle that usually departs every 15-20 min took 40 min to arrive. #

20:44 Plane delayed due to lightning. Man, Thor really *is* a jerk. @KevinHearne #

20:48 @fredhicks Yay! There must be chillage! #

20:49 @myyrdneopia Dude, you can just ask. :D #

21:04 @myyrdneopia You emailed me? #

21:04 @myyrdneopia Yes, you may! Bring me three souls in tribute. #

21:11 @jeditigger CRASH AT MY APARTMENT. THERE WILL BE SHENANIGANS. #

21:36 @jeditigger @myyrdneopia I have crammed 7 guests in my apartment. My bed and futon each sleep two, plus the other futon, plus floorspace... #

21:36 @jeditigger @myyrdneopia My apartment is disgustingly huge by Manhattan standards. :D #

21:37 Boarded! Flight attendant sounds like Sarah Palin. #youbetcha #

21:43 Flight attendant asked me if I was old enough to sit in the emergency exit row. I'm 26! #

22:12 Flight grounded temporarily due to weather. Pilot: "We're number zillionth in line for departure." #

22:14 Good news: I traded up to an emergency exit seat, so I can stretch my legs! Bad news: I'm in front of a family with 4 kids under 4 years. #

22:16 One of the kids is a screamer. He's sitting directly behind me. Remind me: is chloroform illegal? #

22:16 @jeditigger @myyrdneopia Of course you may! #

22:17 @jeditigger @myyrdneopia ...Stay with me forever? #

22:22 @jeditigger Spending the night in Dallas, then going on to Colorado in the morning. #

22:26 They gave us free oat bars. Woman: Will they hand out liquor? I want something with proof. Me: Yeah, this is just circumstantial evidence. #

22:27 @mhaithaca For him or for me? #whynotboth #

22:36 Pilot refers to the clustergasm of planes in front of us as "the baby elephant." I like this guy. #

22:40 Plane's engines turn on and we crawl up the Tarmac. Rugrat behind me: "Mommy, are we going to land?" Oh, sweetie... #
