11:17 @antheia you're just discovering this now? Sit down, I have some bad news about Compaq. #

11:21 @antheia nothing but heartaches for me. Never. again. #
12:13 @damiella yeah, I'm done with Safran Foer and Lethem myself. Haven't read Frantzen. But Ames is rad. I've seen him speak - he's awesome. #
12:14 @jrinrevision I'm jealous of you! (I can't really swallow, but that sounds amazing!) #
