Oh boy! @reduced is coming to the Bay Area October 27th. Just got my ticket. Sure hope they're amusing... |

@Ebeebee71 Thanks, but I know @reduced very well, going back to CA Ren Faire days. Have seen all their shows except Christmas. |

RT @froonium: Oz actor/writer/raconteur Jonathan Hardy, voice of Rygel and soul of #Farscape, has passed away at the age of 71. [Too young.] |

Once again, the coverup is far more damaging than the lie. http://t.co/sY3BN1jL |

So does this mean Mitt's cool with socialized medicine for all Jews, or just Israeli Jews? http://t.co/yvtpcLuA |

Up way too early, checked out of hotel, car returned, through Security & now at the gate for San Jose flight. Tired, as you might guess. |
| 07:03 |
Ridiculous long line at Starbucks stand. I'm thirsty, but I'm not *that* thirsty. |
| 07:06 |
@alwayscoffee but... The line... Too many hobbitses. Hates hobbitses. Hate. |
| 07:24 |
Just got a call from Southwest: my flight is leaving from gate 9. Huh. I didn't know we were leaving from any other gate. |

Just learned that Jonathan Hardy has died. He gave Farscape's Rygel XVI voice, and was both inspiring and funny in person. We'll miss him. |

@HelloTheFuture Entirely my pleasure, Nicole. (If I had to rely on my art, I'd starve too.) Can't wait to catch up on #jococruisecrazy3. |
| 20:05 |
@HelloTheFuture Good to know. I assumed you were playing on the cliche rather than being literal. Happy to know I was right. |

Off to LA for a screening this afternoon of @iamthefilm by @jocelyntowne. I helped pay for it. Sure hope I like it. |
| 14:07 |
The problem lunching in West Hollywood is that I reduce the attractiveness average dramatically the moment I walk in. |

@Lomara Just til tomorrow morning. Have an event later back in San Jose. |

@iamithefilm was lovely. Well made and heartfelt. @jocelyntowne and @simonhelberg should be proud. |

1st time in ages I'm traveling sans laptop. Feels weird. I like traveling light, & my iPad is a good substitute. But I miss my whole env. |

Back in Seattle. Off the boat in 2 hours. Then a tour before my flight home. |
| 08:14 |
Leaving my cabin for the last time, I hear a passenger yell "oh fuck!" Clearly I'm having a better day than he is. |

FInally in my hotel. And looks like my laptop charging problem at SJC was at their end, since the charger's working now. Excellent. |
| 08:12 |
@pourmecoffee Who's a bigger unitard than Mitt? |
| 08:25 |
Car coming at 11 to take me to the boat. That leaves 2.5 hours to kill in a particularly anti-scenic part of Washington State. |
| 09:14 |
So Mitt Romney is a selfish insensitive asshole. But is he the selfish insensitive asshole America needs? (Oh hell no.) |

3 status update calls from Southwest for my 8:20 flight tonight. First delayed to 9:20, then 8:45, now back to 8:20. Are we done now? |
| 19:31 |
Through security and at my gate at SJC. Flight's delayed a little over an hour. But WiFi's free, and I'm comfortable. |
| 19:48 |
First crisis of the trip: power brick is failing. Bad brick or bad power here? May be laptopless if I can't find a replacement. |
| 20:37 |
@IsobelCarr no. Do you also use who for people and that for things? |
| 20:47 |
@IsobelCarr Well of course he (or she) is! Dogs have more personality than a lot of people. |
| 21:20 |
On the plane. An hour late, but we'll be on our way pretty soon. |

@alwayscoffee Touché. I meant act as performance, that thing you do in front of people that they pay you for, not act as masquerade. |
| 06:09 |

Somebody else at the shoot had the same camera bag as me. Luckily, the inevitable mixup turned out to be entirely evitable. |

Pretty good shoot today despite shaky start. Only two of my four 1-1 shoots showed up, but I arranged one substitute. Lots to edit now. |

At the gate at SJC, waiting for a flight to Ontario. Photo shoot tomorrow in Riverside, which has become an annual thing. |

So now I know: my new camera backpack will indeed fit under an airplane seat. That's a relief. |

On the one hand, do I really need WiFi on a one hour flight? On the other, it was only $5. So here I am, tweeting from the stratosphere. |

PowerPoint rule #1: Never *ever* use Comic Sans in a presentation. Ever. |

PowerPoint rule #2: Every transition & animation style you use loses you 5% of your credibility. |
| 15:11 |
PowerPoint rule #3: Funny pictures on your slides are a bad idea. Imagine a painful silence in the room. Now prepare to live it. |
