What the hell is a ‘redress number’ and why does American Airlines want mine if I buy a ticket from them? Creepy. #
I love how Google Docs talks about “collaborators.” Today, we are all Vichy! #
@enjoyillinois Can you cast, like, the entirety of East Peoria, IL? in reply to enjoyillinois #
@Ipstenu @smokes70 and speaking of “as a movie,” anyone seen the new Fame yet? I know it makes me pathetic but I still wanna see it! in reply to Ipstenu #
@Ipstenu @smokes70 Yeah, the pregnancy storyline must end, I agree. But hiatus for baseball playoffs now, so we’ll see in November! in reply to Ipstenu #
@smokes70 @Ipstenu @hubbit I moved here about a year before 773 got rolled out. I used to be 312 (and could be one now, but … am lazy). in reply to smokes70 #
@hubbit Meh. With my 847 primary phone, I’ve been dialing 11 digits for like 5 years now. Not like area codes mean anything anymore anyway. in reply to hubbit #
Argh. This most recent needle-haystack-search — not so… optimism-justifying, shall we say. #
@hubbit you have made me so hungreeee! in reply to hubbit #
LOL! RT @bmoyles * CityOfChicago is now known as Seattle #
@Ipstenu I know! I watched #Glee live this week and I had to pause and go do something so I could get behind enough to skip commercials. in reply to Ipstenu #
I feel vaguely guilty for liking a song, once I found out it’s by Robbie Williams. #
@MrHudson, thanks for providing a soundtrack for my evening tonight. #

Walking home in the rain from Publican. Delicious food. Love my city so much. Chicago! #
Tho enough time has passed you’d think novelty would wear off, I never fail to snicker through the entirety of “The Internet is for Porn.” #
@hubbit Oh, he’s got the most awful German accent in that! You’ll laugh your head off. in reply to hubbit #
Just saw an article w/comment from another Sabrina complaining about “teenage witch” tedium. I feel like I’ve got a kindred spirit at last. #
mmmm, caprese salad for lunch. nom nom nom! #
@redeyechicago But we’re not the “Second-to-someone-else” city, we’re the “Second-implementation-of-our” city, ‘cos of the Fire! in reply to redeyechicago #
Ordered pattern for $8 from Schlhs Press, can now call off CPL interlibrary scav hunt for May/June 1998 Piecework Magazine. Phew! #
So excited! Someone in a #Ravelry forum found a lace alphabet patt from Schlhs Press is same as mag art I’ve been trying all summer to get! #
Overall, I like the few photos I’ve taken of my yarns w/my homemade light tent http://is.gd/4vW0m but I think I need full-spectrum lights. #

@lorenzodeleon Yes! Shiny! in reply to lorenzodeleon #
Turned glee from work into the energy to go swim until I could swim no more. #
Still rolling on the glee that comes with having figured out how to solve that problem. Teehee. Go me! I rule! #
@WestWingReport You should point out that if y’all are to accurately report on healthcare issues, you deserve tasty fresh crisp apples too! in reply to WestWingReport #
Yay! I fixed a problem. Go me. #
Dear The World: It is the “gist” of an article. Not the “jest” of it. The “gist”! They don’t even sound the same! </3, –s. #
I need something to work on that is actually compelling. #
I want the coffee to go make itself. #

What I don’t want to do tonight: Go to class. What I’m going to do tonight: drag my sorry ass there anyway. But you can’t make me want to. #
I just gave in and subscribed to @chicagosymphony again this season. As Donna Moss would say, “Yo-Yo Ma rules!” #
Out sick yesterday, so forgot to prepare lunch to bring to work today, now faced with buying lunch for 1st time in weeks. Uncertainty! #
Ha! @Ipstenu, now you’re going to have to watch #Glee again: http://is.gd/4sx1s *dances in the aisles* #

@Ipstenu gee you eye dee :) in reply to Ipstenu #
Chicago Public Library win! Library of Congress fail. Still no lace alphabet article for me though. Yet. Boo. #
Debating whether or not to look for clip-on lamps to use to take prettier pics of my yarnses. #
Got email from Sen Roland Burris to talk about the issues. Unfortunately all the text was in an image. Dude, send less-stupid email. #
I hate sneezing. I especially hate that ominous “impending sneeze” tickle. #
