Federal Plaza farmer’s market RULES. I has fresh cherries and asparagus!! NOM NOM NOM #
This is my opinion as well: http://tinyurl.com/ygc9w2 #
My Bluetooth mouse & iMac have refused to speak to each other for 5 days now. Anyone have any favorites to suggest as a replacement? #mac #
I do like subpoena wording though. “…the deponent, SABRINA DOWNARD, shall appear.” As if by MAGIC! With UNICORNS! And PIXIE DUST! YAAAYY! #
And now, back to try and pick up from where I was before that harmless-looking dude in a Hawaiian shirt knocked on my front door. #
You know, the phrase “You’ve been subpoenaed” is really something I could have done without hearing, addressed to me, this evening. #

In honor of wooly pressies from @sanityknit, listening to BBC Radio Scotland talk of Holyrood. No idea there was debate over pronunciation! #
Back in Chitown! Hooray. Balcony still undone; Taste still effing up traffic; but cats still love me so I guess it’s all okay. #
Bizarre: Sunny D ad featuring “Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger” in some sort of weirdly cheerful remix. Way to brk my cncentratn, Sunny D. #

LET’S GO, #WHITESOX! *clap* *clap* *clapclapclap* #
Today’s Knitting Daily pattern http://tinyurl.com/nvzhm7 makes me wonder anew about splitting Nelly into 2 parts & grafting, for symmetry. #
Hitting .381 with runners in scoring position? WANT. http://tinyurl.com/ll3yl3 #whitesox #

Dear dude from the elevator whose ringtone got a tinny version of ‘Stairway to Heaven’ stuck in my head: I hate you. #
Well, I would #unfollowperezhilton except I was never following him in the first place because he’s really irritating. #

is still killing me, every time I look at it. #
I want you all to know that I got nearly 10% into explaining my .plan before wordpress ate the entry unsaved and I decided, fuck it. #
And that last tweet was said from POV of someone who walks past empty shell of frmr Rose Records & mourns anew at least 2x wk, fyi. #
Shameful confession: Was just thinking of buying CDs as gift for someone & realized: couldn’t think of good shop. Rock Records still there? #

Pods!! #whitesox Dude, you keep surprising the hell out of me. So much awesome. #
RIP Michael Jackson. What else to say? #
COME OONNNNN #WHITESOX y’all can do it! #
Also, the thrill of it nearly being time to go home loses some magic when you’re going home to 6 hours of homework. #
Really, really, really wish I could make some significant progress on this one particular system problem. Have made some, but … sigh. #
Sometimes battling boneheadedness is more than I have the strength for. Can I go, like, write a 12-page paper now? Please? #
I wish there was a practical train schedule between here and Cleveland. It’s stupid that there isn’t. Rly, choice betwn 1 and 5AM arrivals? #
Also, seem to have surpassed 2k tweet barrier in past few days. Feel that there should have been a fanfare or something. #
Am tired of “When is Hetero Pride” complaints. Got no flag, get no parade – that’s the rules. (Also, you have no go-go boys, so are boring.) #
Also, in other news, I think Blackboard was designed by monkeys. Monkeys who can’t design UIs. #
So, evidently I was looking in wrong Blackboard place, missed pile of homework assignments for class tonight. Fuck. Now have 2x next wk. #
