the everyday adventures of sabrina

• I am disturbed by the sheer number of spiders on my balcony, and quite creeped out by them too. They are making it scary to use balcony :( #
• @LittleRedBicycl Grape Soda! Ok, it’s lame. But delicious! :) in reply to LittleRedBicycl #
• @richwolf Yay, mailed! v. clever of them to hide it behind a click like that. in reply to richwolf #
• You know what? I am totally stopping by the Baskin-Robbins and getting an ice cream on the way home from work. Because I can. So there. #
• @richwolf Nice! Hooray for bugfixes! Speaking of you, I need to get SeeTeeYay for my new Jesusfone. What was that bit you needed to auth? in reply to richwolf #
• @mizmoose SHRIMPY GOES TO LISA. in reply to mizmoose #
• @secabeen My bad. in reply to secabeen #
• @Ipstenu Boooooo! (Not that that helps. Still, solidarity in sympathy.) in reply to Ipstenu #
• tail -f’ing log files to watch what other people’s sudo commands are makes me feel like the world’s least cool spy (but a spy nonetheless). #
• @Ipstenu For times like that, you need last.fm! in reply to Ipstenu #
• @Ipstenu +infinity. Oh man. Especially when you can point to documentation that clearly says “what you are doing is wrong.” in reply to Ipstenu #
• @cloudlover Nah, you just need minions! (Or angora bunnies.) in reply to cloudlover #
• New /etc/system post: Raiding on my parade http://ziggurat.org/sysadmin/?p=30 #
• @sanityknit Hey, you’re supposed to pull all-nighters doing homework — not making homework! in reply to sanityknit #

• Looking at Jewel sales. “Hungry Jack Microwavable Syrup.” Isn’t all syrup microwavable? Am clearly missing something here. #
• Now suffering “too many WIPs and fibers to choose from” syndrome. What to do all afternoon? Cannot decide! #
• @Ipstenu Teehee. Glad it helped! My Quicken stopped dl’ing one acct ~3 mos ago but Friday it stopped all of them. :( All Fixed now, yay! in reply to Ipstenu #
• @Ipstenu Who needs teevee when you have bittorrent? in reply to Ipstenu #
• Although, in all honesty, I have a suggestion: Maybe Intuit could frigging update Quicken for Mac more than once/5 yrs, stop SSL cert probs. #
• Quicken Mac 2007 decided recently to stop dl’ing transactions from anyone. Here’s the fix: SSL certs need updating. http://is.gd/3e3LS #
• Ran out of steam halfway through writing up flickr uploadr descriptions for photos from today. To bed with me. Sheepy pix in the AM. #

• @mizmoose Ow ow ow. *head explodes due to incalculably excessive values of stupid* in reply to mizmoose #
• @sanityknit More the other way around – you’ve actually got professional experience in the field? How do you like your coffee? :-) #
• @mizmoose Was going to ask whose horrid cover but now that I think about it, pretty much any cover would be horrid, wouldn’t it? Hm. in reply to mizmoose #
• Home! Just unpacked the goodies to ogle them. Ogle, ogle, ogle. Need a job where I sit home and spin yarn, and they pay 6 figures. Hm. #
• Got back in radio range just in time to hear the #whitesox win! Awesome! #
• (and ok, yeah, more fiber. Still, managed not to buy any fleeces or wheels, so that is a point in my thrifty favor.) #
• Heading home from Sheepfest. Successful trip: got dyes, bobbins, & mohair from my shopping list! + stuff not on list. Like root beer float! #
• Sheep in the BFL show were nibbling my fingers and one tasted my wristwatch. Adorable dinnertime. #
• It is unsettlingly quiet out here in the country. Can’t I even have the noise from a lonely passing freight train to say I’m not alone? #
• @sanityknit I know!! But I still want the lendrum complete! gots to save my pennies :) in reply to sanityknit #
• @smokes70 if you go buy wii toys, you’ll make me feel better about my wooly ones! Do it! in reply to smokes70 #
• Hitchhiker wheels: fun! And sooo tempting; $320 for the DT. #
• Have achieved sheepfest! Behold: sheepies!!! #
• Phew. Hat located. Crisis averted. Can safely roadtrip with windows open once more. #
• MISSION: SHEEPFEST HAS HIT A CRITICAL SNAG: Have lost my #whitesox hat! Unacceptable!!! #
• I’m off to see the sheepies, the wonderful sheepies of Wisc! – In a Tardis-vs.-DeLorean t-shirt and Ravelry name button, if anyone spots me! #
• I’m trying this little widget: http://backupmytweets.com/ #

• Home, music, some *very* dry French cider, not so bad a way to end the evening really. Though still fighting the urge to start an afghan! #
• @cst_sox I see your clever plan. You’re talking pessimism so the #whitesox have no choice but to prove you wrong! in reply to cst_sox #
• The really sick thing is that even with all these WIPs I have going on in progress…I /really/ want to start a new afghan. #
• @mizmoose Oh yeah, that’s right. in reply to mizmoose #
• It’s 19:30. Why am I still in the office? Oh yeah, I hate working from home. Why am I still working, then??? #
• Haha sigh. RT @WestWingReport Pelosi hints may ditch pub optn. In othr nws, she’s the gst of hnr @ fundraiser given by big insrnce lbbyist. #
• @jime60647 What, Ciroc? in reply to jime60647 #
• @Southpaw Yeahhh… I suppose you’re right. I shouldn’t look at is as watchting KC…I should look at it as a guaranteed #whitesox win. ;) in reply to Southpaw #
• Okay. As sweets go, these Mozartkugeln are pretty much rocking the house. #
• Okay, #whitesox fans, which of y’all are going to the ballpark tweetup? Sounds fun, but $60 to see KC, man, I dunno. Even for @Southpaw! :-) #
• @sanityknit No, I think his point is to get knee-jerk “marriage protection” weenies to think twice about being hypocritical. in reply to sanityknit #
• Who knew doing product research was such a time-consuming way to make a buck? #
• Dang! Signed up for marketing research panel 2.5 yrs ago; today was 1st study I matched with, & they meet next week on the 1st day of class! #
• Just tried something with Autoyast I gave up on it ever working right, about 18 mos ago… we’ll see if things are different these days! #
• Excited for sheepfest! I wanna see the sheepdog show and look at all the sheepies. Think am more excited to see livestock than buy fiber. #
• Awesome. http://www.cockeyed.com/citizen/divorce/divorce.php #
• The Cupcake Fairy Rides Again! – Three dozen cupcakes with sprinkles, spreading joy throughout the office. #
• @christensen You’re gonna miss a Very Special Friday Delivery in the office, Sir Sickie! #
• Honestly tho, Stitches Market closes at 6pm Sat so I doubt I’m going to hit it. Mostly I want to go to sheepfest! #
• Wknd game plan: Clean house tnit. Tmrw: Get up early, go to sheepfest. Rtrn via Rckfrd, Sonic fr dinner, see Stitches if time/$ left. Bizzy! #
• Morning music: a recorded Zane Lowe show from 2005-10-18. Old school! #
• @smokes70 Thanks, that was everso helpful :) #
• @sanityknit Oh yes, FRIDAY!!!!!! in reply to sanityknit #

• iTunes 9: Why did you break my “maximize button == mini player”? So annoying! Not loving all the breaks to my routine lately, guys. #
• Hey! Whose idea was it for Stitches MW and WI S&W to be the same weekend? My paycheck only goes so far, you know! #
• @sanityknit You should! I’ll help proofread…..:) in reply to sanityknit #
• @cst_sox Hey, hey, Mister Crabbypants McPessimist, you just hush up there. Stranger things have happened (like last season’s tiebreaker!). in reply to cst_sox #
• I cannot get any work done if I am context switching every three to five minutes! Christ, this is making me crazy. #
• @richardroeper Arguably, if you’re sub-.500 in September, walk-off win celebrations are the only ones you’ll have so enjoy what you’ve got. in reply to richardroeper #
• I love that the Toddler has resorted to a classic “Lurkers support me in email!” response to Tribune polling saying his approval is at 10%. #
• And now Angry Room descends to “So Fucking Gay.” Feel obligated to say that no, Teh Gheys trade better than he does. #
• I <3 when I’m making progress cleaning up someone’s awful code, & discover the commented line that prevents stuff just fixed frm being used. #
• Just heard about @CBaseballMuseum – http://www.chicagobaseballmuseum.org/ ! Awesome. #
• Am also tired of non-apology apologies. Hey, Mike Duvall, it wasn’t your comments that were the distraction here, more your, uh, affairs. #
• @christensen Also, with special regard to me, you’re not going to get anywhere arguing I should have tried harder to be nice to GWB. #
• @christensen The goal is to be the better person, not the bigger whiny three-year-old. in reply to christensen #
• Make that $46k. RT @StevenGlassman Joe Wilson’s opponent in 2010 has rcvd $40k in contributions since Wilson’s outburst. http://bit.ly/2sXgZ #
• @cloudlover Good luck at sheepfest! Maybe I’ll see you there! I’m probably going to head up Saturday for a while :) #
• How much do I love waking up to AJ hitting a double and scoring Alexei for a walk-off, so the #whitesox gain ground on Detroit? SOOOO MUCH! #
• And I even went and got the graphite-specific Airport Admin Utility too! It refuses to run on this version of OS X. Scolds me! #
• Okayyyy…not being able to admin my 1st gen graphite Airport Base Station with Snow Leopard is gonna be a problem. #
• Jesusphone: active! Next step: find appropriate song for ringtone. “I Wanna Be Sedated” had a 3 yr run on the Razr, time for something new. #
