Quick Thoughts: Twitter Through 2009-03-22 (including Hotel Madness)

Category: General — By Kelson @ 8:30 pm
  • Saw Watchmen. Better than expected. Spectacular, detailed, but unsubtle and gored-up. Best music cue: “Everybody Wants To Rule the World” #
  • OK, I am officially sick of the phrase, “What recession?” #
  • Read Mysterius the Unfathomable #1-2. Annoyed at first that the only skeptic is portrayed as a total a-hole. OTOH, so is everyone else. #
  • San Diego Comic-Con hotel list and prices are up. Rooms go on sale Thursday morning. #
  • 24 hours to go until SDCC hotel madness…after which I probably WILL want to be sedated. #
  • Interesting: #voteearth = switch your lights off for one hour on 3/28 to promote action on global warming voteearth2009.org #
  • Retweeting @SpeedsterSite: iFanboy names Wally as one of the most underused characters in the DCU. #
  • Countdown: 14 days to Flash: Rebirth #
  • Pics of Flash Jay Garrick on Friday’s Batman: Brave and the Bold #

Special Report: Comic-Con International Hotel Day

  • ComicCon hotel prep: Firefox+Win for compatibility, desktop in case wifi goes out, other sites up in Chrome so crash won’t take out Fx. #
  • ComicCon Hotel Rush: filled with antici… #
  • …pation. #
  • ComicCon: In the Waiting Room! #
  • “We’re sorry. All circuits are busy now.” Over and over and over and over. #
  • Why the hell am I live-tweeting Comic-Con Hotel Reservations? #
  • OK, now I know that it takes 20 minutes for me to start getting annoyed with the #comiccon reservation line. #
  • Every once in a while I get a 2nd or even 3rd ring before comiccon hotel line goes to “all circuits are busy now” msg. false hope… #
  • I hope the “waiting room” page for comiccon hotels is actually doing something and not just sitting there. #
  • OK, the comiccon hotel waiting room page DOES hit the network every once in a while. It must be doing SOMETHING. #
  • Last two years I got through the ComicCon hotel reservations by 10:04. It’s 10:05 and I’m still in the “waiting room.” #
  • On the plus side I’m starting to see “success!” posts from other people on Twitter. #
  • Swivel chair picked this time to fall apart. Reassembled. Still waiting in comiccon hotel queue. #
  • Phone connected! #
  • Got through comiccon hotel process on phone. Left top 5 choices, name addr & phone # and they’ll call back for credit card info. *whew!* #
  • *sigh* ComicCon hotel reservation has my name & addr wrong. Can’t fix online b/c they don’t have the CC yet, call center closed for the day #
