the everyday adventures of sabrina

• arrrararharhhghghgh. rpmbuild, I am never going to run you as root! Reconcile yourself to that! And get over trying to mkdir /usr/include! #
• Seriously, am I the only person in the world who wants to make RPMs for quickfix? #
• Ooh! It’s Thursday! That means less than a week ’til the Millennium Park ice rink opens! #
• The problem with scolding the computers for being bad is they never take any notice when I do it. #
• @hubbit But, knowing you, I’m sure they’ve seen a churchkey. ;) in reply to hubbit #
• Helpful tip: When trying to use reusable bags to shop, do not put onions in your backpack, or you will find onion skin bits for wks after. #
• @StevenGlassman Ha! That’s pretty awesome. Perhaps if lunch theft reaches greater proportions… :) in reply to StevenGlassman #

• @Ipstenu Which plug do you have? I have spares of the pre-magsafe one. in reply to Ipstenu #
• @Ipstenu Oh sure. All I needed was a replacement battery for my MacBook, took 3 minutes. Now I have less fire risk in apt, am happier. in reply to Ipstenu #
• Ha. Apple emailed me my receipt. With invitation to provide feedback. Why, thank you; I think I shall. #
• Now to see if Glee can cheer me up out of my post-Apple Store grrrrrrrrrrr. #
• @Ipstenu no. They lost when they cancelled me after I was there twenty mins early & they cancelled me anyway. in reply to Ipstenu #
• Finally got to a Genius at 6:22. New $150 battery and back on the street at 6:26. That was fun. #
• @Ipstenu don’t care. I overestimate times, so should they. in reply to Ipstenu #
• Annnnnd they put me back on in position #4. ugh. Next time, am frigging taking time off work to come during the day. This is ridiculous. #
• Fell back to #6 and then they, it seems, cancelled me. I had to ask when I fell off the list entirely. Gosh, this is efficient. #
• Also, while I understand principle of overbooking, if I’m here, why can’t I have my timeslot? #
• Ok, WTF AGAIN apple store; made it to #4 and now am #6??? #
• Ha. Store playing Lily Allen’s ‘the fear’ made me realize I’d never heard the radio edit. Sadly, can’t make out alt lyrics. #
• @Ipstenu That’s louder than 10! in reply to Ipstenu #
• Now am #6. Slightly mollified. #
• Oh, now I’m back to #11? Too late! I am tired of #11, want smaller numbers! #
• WTF, Michigan Ave apple Store Genius Bar: I was #11, now #12?? this is why I got an appt 2 days ahead of time, to wait extra? Boooo. #
• Me and my 4.0 joined a college honor society. My slacker side feels like I’ve sold out. #
• @lizg640 I don’t think we’d gotten far enough to talk time yet… But there’s gonna be an email. in reply to lizg640 #
• @lizg640 @MelVD79 @seanware @smokes70 T. and I are sounding the call for Dim Sum + Hammond on Sunday! Y’all in? DIM SUM YUM. #
• Someone stole my string cheese out of the fridge from my lunch today. I like my string cheese. Booooo :( #
• @Ipstenu Or a good cry! in reply to Ipstenu #
• Reading transcript of Obama’s speech littered with gems like: “that no know boundaries” and “diffuse bombs.” Spelling skills, I miss you. #
• You know what I want? When I cancel my account, QUIT SENDING ME EMAILS. I don’t want your service. That’s why I cancelled. Knock it off. #
• Whoops, running a bit late, @lorenzodeleon’s gonna give me shit again! #
• @suezq_WI I’m thinking I’m going to try and work on the design for my Prairie shawl. Then my other WIPs when I need a break! :) in reply to suezq_WI #
• @hubbit Hope all is well! Sending good thoughts!! #
• la la la la I SURVIVED FALL QUARTER, Y’ALL! NO MORE CLASSES ‘TIL JANUARY!!!!!!!!!!!! zomg *zzzzzzzzzzzzzz* #

• I would seriously pay good money to stop static zapping everything I touch in this office. GOOD MONEY. #
• @beth825 Ha! Nice. in reply to beth825 #
• Considering how to make my “Can use MS office” waiver project revolve around “How to switch schools to open source software, not Office” #
• @Ipstenu Booo :( in reply to Ipstenu #
• @Ipstenu Por que no skate? :( in reply to Ipstenu #
• This iMac has weird issues (like, won’t see BT mouse until I plug a corded mouse in, then can unplug it & use BT), but that was a new one. #
• @shadow It was responsive to keyboard input – volume, caps lock, display brightness buttons. Just had nothing displaying on the screen. in reply to shadow #
• Phew. Hard boot fixed it. Still…worrisome. #
• Oh joy. My mac has no display this morning. My *iMac*. greeeeeeat. #

• Only a week and a half until the Millennium Park ice rink opens for the season! Woohoo! #chicago #
• I really wish I could solve the current RPM build issue that’s plaguing me right now. Install into the chroot, dangit! #
• @chowbok We will also be really shocked for that week it’s going to be 70° in January, FYI. in reply to chowbok #
• Ford responded to my criticism of their Escape ads. W/ an utter non sequitur. Should write back & say now am going to buy a GM out of spite. #
• @thebkwyrm I agree. Even ones are thousands (Peterson = 6 thousand north), others are hundreds (Garfield = 55 hundred south). in reply to thebkwyrm #
• @cloudlover I’m farther south – Jaffa Bakery on Van Buren between Wells and Financial, ‘cos I work in the CBOT building :) in reply to cloudlover #
• @cloudlover Ha! GMTA. in reply to cloudlover #
• Mmmm, tasty falafel plate lunch. Yummy McYummers. #
• Augh. vim is making me stabbier than normal today. Ironically, mostly while trying to build an nvi rpm. #
• “syntax on” in /etc/vimrc makes me stabby. Don’t foist your damn colors off on me by default, you twerps. #
• Ha! I figured out a fix for something. A gold star for me! #
• Wondering if it would be cheating to wear Lilalaunetuch out today, though never did weave in ends. Uh, single fringe, it’s the new thing? #
• Kiyoshi was *very* interested in blocking the shawl. Had to shoo him off it a couple times. It’ll be half cat fur by morning. #
• Lilalaunetuch is dyed and blocking. And huge. 89x41in of silk/merino blue lacey goodness. Yay! #

• Ladies and Gentlemen, Lilalaunetuch is OFF THE NEEDLES!!!!! Woohoo! #knitting #
• How did I manage to forget the X-Files episode “X-Cops”? I mean, there’s bad (Teso Dos Bichos), & then there’s “crossover w/Cops” bad. #
• Lilalaunetuch patterning done! Off to the garter stitch races now. #
• I think I need to knit a little felted caddy for crap on my desk. Like, right now. Instead of writing papers for school. #
• This is ridiculous. Where is my motivation this morning? I have to do homework! #
• Registered for speed-reading class at Pumping Station: One in a couple weeks. See if it’s interesting! #
• Ugh. Only person to show an interest in Louet so far appears to be sketchy. Back to square one. #
• @edibow Transport museum!! in reply to edibow #
