I don’t care if Cinnamon Toast Crunch is shrimp tails and toenails, I won’t stop eating it.

@aptshadow Reading “One Day All This Will Be Yours,” and wondering if the Honourable Professor Hieronymous Blaylock is a nod to James P. Blaylock and his steampunk stories, or just a coincidence. Surely not a coincidence...

@Zmangames_ @HiG_Verlag Super excited about this. I played a friend's copy and it's excellent. Will you be reprinting the Venice expansion for the original game? It was gone in a flash. Thanks!

To say Gene Wolfe changed my life is not hyperbole. He was my favorite author ever, and he unintentionally ruined ever other author for me. What a loss.

@aptshadow I finished “Walking to Aldebaran” last night, and immediately thought it was the most Wolfian thing I’d read from you.

I can’t be the only person who makes string cheese bandoliers to amuse himself, right?

You can tell the Grammys really know what they're doing when The National and The War on Drugs are nominated in two different categories...

I know B.B. King was mostly known for his guitar playing, but that dude could SING... #thegreatest

Hey @AndyMineo my 4th-grader wants to do a school project about you and your music. Can he send some interview questions through email? He'd lose his mind if he got to interview you.

@AndyMineo Andy! My 4th-grader wants to do a school presentation on you and your music. Any chance he can interview you via email?

Is there a Facebook support group for the emotional and physical scarring that results from eating a bowl of Cap’n Crunch?
