This morning: checked value of car and redid auto insurance coverage. I lead a life of madcap excitement and non-stop thrills. #
@richardroeper You must be taking up my space. I haven’t gotten called in… oh, 10 years or so? I could use the variety in my workday! #
@kcraigs “[Unsurprisingly] this kind of corrupt event [is] supported by an English teacher.” It’s all yr fault! http://tinyurl.com/aa5r59 #
It’s usually about the point where I decide what I really need is getopt() when it all starts to seem like an insurmountable problem. #
@secabeen Ha! Nice. I can just picture the “WTF” face when faced with the lower speeds. “But… but… but…?!?!!?” #
I love albums that sneak up on me: on first listen, not so impressed, maybe dismissive…eventually, completely unstoppable and absorbing. #
@RevPirateDan Yes, but we weren’t until you brought it up! #

Oooh… do I spy with my little eye a moderately-sized patch of blue sky? #
@denizenofchaos But facebook status updates are so 2007! #
Dear CNBC: Please get Kudlow’s dresser to quit choosing ties that sear my retinas. Yellow with outlined grey polka dots… AUGH. no <3,–s. #
New /etc/system post: The nature of ‘production’ http://ziggurat.org/sysadmin/?p=26 #
I can’t wait until I use up this bottle of yucky Olay Quench body lotion at my desk, so I can open something less chemical-smelltastic. Bleh #

“Oops”: “[A] contractor…had a file-sharing program on [a sys which] also contained…blueprints for Marine One.” http://tinyurl.com/dxbw46 #
@hubbit Nothing’s wrong with ‘secure,’ except for the part where it doesn’t mean ‘securitize,’ which is to turn things into securities. #
@hubbit Also, now all words that start with ‘secur-‘ looks weird to me… #

Off to bio class. Another saturday about to slosh right down the tubes. Just keep swimming! #
@margaretdawson Doh! #
I can’t wait for spring, for them to resume working on my balcony, so I can go out there and wash the %^&*&^% dust off the frigging windows. #

Some days I don’t even have to actually go in to the office in the morning to have it completely ruin my day. ARRGH ARGGHGH ARGGHGHH! #
Off to CSO. Pierre Boulez will fix everything. Can’t believe you slackers are all too sick to take this frankly fantastic ticket from me. #
Holy cow, CSO percussion. Y’all rocked the house tonight. That was brilliant. #
Holy crap. Rental prices in my hood falling like mad. Anyone ever successfully negotiated a landlord down at lease renewal time? #
@shadow Ha! Is that a corollary to the sincerest form of flattery — the even sincerer-est is when they’re too lazy to imitate? #
@pearnest Yeah.. I might give it a shot. I’m a crap (chicken) negotiator so I don’t have high expectations, but what the hey. :) #
AMC movie promotion email to me: “Don’t miss the Jonas Brothers in 3D!” What, with a pellet gun? Oy. #
@shadow Wow. Silly remarks aside, that must be kinda annoying, actually. Flattering, but annoying. #
