  • I need to book a flight for a weekend in early August. Any suggestions for websites/airlines to checkout for cheap, last-minute flights? #
  • Read latest "Walking Dead" tpb last night & had nightmares despite there being very few zombies in it. @RobertKirkman wins again. #
  • Thinking about running some contests on @MTVSplashPage in the near future. I have waaaay too much Comic-Con swag piling up around here! #
  • The truth is certainly far less interesting than the story I've made up about this image: http://bit.ly/a8l4Sz (via @RussFrushtick) #
  • Another Comic-Con regret: I didn't get to meet the "Being Human" cast while I was in San Diego. I love the show. Next time, @bbcamerica! #
  • I chat w/ "True Blood" actor Mike McMillian and @ZacharyQuinto about "Lucid" and they ask a very important question: http://bit.ly/aYYiy2 #
  • [CONGRATS!!!] RT @GeekWeekOnline: Mandeville options CROSSHAIR by Top Cow and written by…um…well…uh…me. http://tinyurl.com/2cjl4ae #
  • Office fun: We're trying to make a "Did Justin Bieber sink the Titanic?" a trending search on Google. Play along & search for it yourself. #
  • Also fun? Typing in "Did Justin Bieber" and seeing what Google suggests for your search… #
  • Talkin' zombies and deep acting stuff w/ "The Walking Dead" cast at Comic-Con, because I'm a serious journamalist: http://bit.ly/9fqnPx #
  • Just changed the @mtvsplashpage Twitter logo to a brand new icon created by @nickrrrad. Waiting for it to show up! Thanks, Nick! #
  • Star Trek is the one with wookies, right? RT @JHoffman6: I just spun into a nerd rage and @misterpatches got it on tape. http://ow.ly/2i0Ns #

  • Very disappointed I didn't get to shake hands w/ @bradmeltzer during Comic-Con. I barely got to leave the studio all weekend! #
  • Been asked for my favorite Comic-Con moment. Playing "Random Harmony" w/ Natalie Portman & @OfficialKat was awesome. They liked my sneakers. #
  • Chatting w/ Helen Mirren re: Harvey Pekar & @WarrenEllis was also a great #SDCC moment for me. I gave her my copy of "Red." (She lost hers.) #
  • [Kinda sorta want one of these...] (via @ProgGrrl) RT @TrueBloodHBO: ENTER TO WIN A #TRUEBLOOD @PlayStation PSP: http://itsh.bo/TBPSP #
  • Another #SDCC highlight: Discussing Doctor Who w/ @WarrenEllis. I would love to see an Ellis-written episode of Doctor Who. #doctorwho #
  • Which trilogy do you prefer, and why: Star Wars, Lord … — LotR all the way! The books were a big part of my youn… http://4ms.me/8X7g8R #
  • Deadpool is not a superhero… and Ryan Reynolds will STAB YOU if you say otherwise. http://bit.ly/bvIrQc #
  • Times I wish I had a flipcam handy: @RussFrushtick just did an impression of the gorilla warning the scientists w/ sign language in "Congo." #
  • What comes after "The Avengers" in Marvel's movie plan? I asked @JoeQuesada! http://bit.ly/9dUxln #
  • TAKE NOTE: I am officially changing my preferred brand of underwear. http://www.jockey.com/ #toomuchinformation #idontcare #tebow #

  • Here's my full report from the "Green Lantern" panel: http://bit.ly/duZXT8 #
  • I'm interviewing "Thor" actresses Natalie Portman & @OfficialKat in 1.5 hours. What should I ask them? Send Qs! #sdcc #
  • Oh, and check out the MTV/MySpace Live Show for lots of Thor & Captain America questions I supplied for the cast/crew! http://bit.ly/cEznLe #
  • So… @OfficialKat didn't remember my last interview w/ her, but she & Natalie Portman loved my shoes. WIN! #sdcc #
  • Also, I played a game w/ @OfficialKat & Natalie Portman called "Random Harmony." We made beautiful music together. #sdcc #

  • There are 3-D glasses for the Marvel movie panel. I'm kind of worried… #sdcc #
  • Managed to catch the "Paul" and "Cowboys and Aliens" footage while I wait for the Marvel movie panel to begin. Both films look fun! #sdcc #

  • More footage?! #sdcc #
  • And now we see Hugo Weaving as pre-scarring Red Skull! (And something that is definitely not the Cosmic Cube.) #sdcc #
  • Captain America portion is over, now on to Thor! #sdcc #
  • Thor footage!!! #
  • A lot to absorb in the Thor footage! Mjolnir, Loki, Wariors Three, Odin, and… DESTROYER!!! #sdcc #

  • Writing up Marvel panel report… sooooo much to report! Soooo much I wasn't able to tweet! #sdcc #
  • .@Terri_Schwartz & I are the last ones left in the MTV studio, still working. We are the rock stars of Comic-Con. #sdcc #
  • Okay, now *I'm* the only one left in the studio still working… Yay me. *sigh* #sdcc #
  • And… my Marvel panel report is up… and I'm out of the studio: http://bit.ly/aUzQOm #sdcc #
  • Trying to find someplace to go for dinner… and people to eat it with! San Diego is very empty when it's so crowded! #
  • Finished v6 of Scott Pilgrim this morning. Really enjoyed the final chapter. Nice job, @radiomaru! #
  • Hoping to hit the floor soon. Please save some comics (and other swag) for me! #sdcc #
  • Btw, if you want me to stop by and say hello while I'm on the floor, I'm taking requests now! Let me know what booth you're at! #sdcc #
  • RT @stayingin: Too soon for eye stabbing costumes? (via @joemoscone77) http://twitpic.com/28ndvs #
  • Btw, here's a great pic of the full "Avengers" cast (so far): http://bit.ly/9fgf4O #sdcc #
  • And with that, I'm hitting the show floor… last call for drop-by requests! I'll be moseying around! #sdcc #

  • Sucker Punch trailer had a dragon, WWII plane battles, armored mech suits, a giant samurai, and actresses in schoolgirl uniforms. #sdcc #
  • [Indeed.] RT @JHoffman6: Zach Snyder gives thinly veiled F-U to people who thought Watchmen was "too faithful" to book. Good for him. #sdcc #
