    • @wilw Let’s not leave out “Attack of the Takeiju” #
    • @wilw The final book in the series must, of course, be Doohansday #

    • 20 mins late prof finally shows up. Not a good way to start off. #
    • Class let out 90 min early. Seems like it’s going to be an ungodly easy A. My English class in the morning doesn’t look to be much harder. #

    • LOL RT @wilw PRO TIP for fathers: don’t read chapter 4 of Hyperion in public. It will wreck you, and people will stare. #voiceofexperience #
    • If my card didn’t go through, it probably means I don’t have the $$. Calling me at 6:30am demanding $275 isn’t going to help, either. #
    • RT @tymethief This is either a weird joke, or just lack of realization of what some things sound like… http://tinyurl.com/l2lhkl #
