  • Iron AMV running more than 30 mins late due to cosplay. Cosplay events are too popular, AMV should be more so. #manifest #
  • After a great weekend at #manifest, being back in the real world sucks. The world of cosplay and pocky is much nicer. #
  • @chadnickbok Agreed. I think I might print it out and give it to my family. in reply to chadnickbok #
  • Just managed to avoid stepping in puke. Lucky! #
  • Girlfriend's flight delayed by two hours. Now picking her up at 1am. Fate is making me wait that much longer! #
  • @mdenis That depends on how you look at it: 2 hour movie ~ $15, 2 hour Metcard ~ $3.50. in reply to mdenis #
  • @dhewlett Well put! in reply to dhewlett #
  • @IMKristenBell Damn, now I've been reminded of my Snood days and want to start playing again … dear lord no! in reply to IMKristenBell #
  • Girlfriend's departing flight canceled. Doesn't appear to be any other flights tonight either. Very incovenient. Tiger Airways = FAIL. #
  • @elizadushku Congrats! You're already a winner in my book! in reply to elizadushku #
  • RT @dhewlett: Happy Birthday #amandatapping… the classiest lady in sci fi! #
  • Baggage is in the hotel, waiting for my decadent breakfast. Looking forward to Online Retailer #orex09 #
  • Tired, can't sleep, but still pumped for #manifest today! Using @rememberthemilk for my shopping list – mobile apps ftw. #
  • Seems this year the queues for reg have been replaced by a queue for the traders hall to open. #manifest #
  • Crazy strong wind and a light drizzle is starting – it won't dampen my spirits! #manifest #
  • First Mio cosplayer I've seen did an awesome job. Wonder how populay K-ON! will be? #manifest #
  • Watching an example of how not to make an AMV – hilarious! #manifest #
  • Taking a break from #manifest for lunch – can't handle pocky anymore. :( #
  • @mdenis At least you don't have to experience the Melbourne weather. It's fairly nice now though. in reply to mdenis #
  • Peppa-chan lounge is fantastic. The couches are super comfy. Watching retro anime: Mysterious Cities of Gold, Astro Boy. #manifest #
  • #manifest is winding down for the day – still some more AMVs to watch! :) #
  • Idea: #manifest should have a computer sponsor and use decent desktops, running Linux, for driving the displays. Would solve some problems. #
  • Long queue of eager fans at registration – should be a great day at #manifest #
  • My first time in the RACV Club across the street. Should go there more often, but not for the hot chocolate. #
  • RT @CampaignMonitor: Important and unfortunate blog post about Campaign Monitor account intrusions at http://www.campaignmonitor.com/blog #
  • @mdenis I wouldn't be surprised to find you tweeting in your sleep in reply to mdenis #
  • Almost at the end of my 1 hour wait for a train. Good old V/Line. Thankfully I have a book to pass the time with. #
  • @mdenis Obviously you will be asleep the entire weekend. in reply to mdenis #
  • @attp Completely agree! I also hate <marquee> … *shudder* in reply to attp #
  • @mdenis I think that's what JS was actually invented for. But then we write JS to block *that* and the cycle continues. in reply to mdenis #
  • @ElizaPatricia I think it's "sucking" up. ;) in reply to ElizaPatricia #
  • RT @NathanFillion: Newest fave bumper sticker: 'This car is a horcrux'. Funny though, didn't figure Volemort for a VW bug kinda guy. #
  • RT @Big_Brown_Box: To celebrate the re-designed site we're having a Massive Big Brand Sale that ends Sunday 16th August http://bit.ly/RNCAj #
  • @mdenis What was the store? in reply to mdenis #
  • @mdenis Let's just hope you don't wake up in the land of Oz. I mean the one with munchkins and talking animals, not Australia. in reply to mdenis #
  • @mdenis I tried viewing a site before and found it slow. Figured it was the lack of 3G reception. Guess it's both. in reply to mdenis #

Always the bibliophile, I recently threw down some cash for a a few books, which I hope are really investments. So far they seem to have been good purchases! I’ll list them and write a bit about why they make for good reads.
