Yay! Finished knitting on @smokes70’s scarf today. Now just to make all the dots and attach them. This should be Fun. #
@chowbok Charming! #
@writchrd If you want to force it, use non-breaking space:   #
I love the smell of having wasted many hours of time last week, in the morning. #
Today’s task would seem to indicate that I am serving posthumous penance for a previous life spent writing broken software installers. #
Off to skool for math test. Trying to be optimistic, but mostly just blasé and wishing I had the evening off. Can has spring brk now? #

Just braved the blizzardy outdoors for a PetSmart run. There’s an 8k race going on out there in that mess, those poor bastards. #

@sanityknit That is brilliant! Spectacular given everything you’re juggling lately!!! Way to go, you!!! #
@mizmoose Where now? Back to Pgh or, like, west coast? #
@hubbit I’m totally mad at you for getting that tune stuck in my head. Augh! #
@hubbit That’s it, now it’s on. This Is The Song That Never Ends! #
@hubbit *snork* Nice. #
@hubbit “It’s German for ‘happiness at the misfortunes of others’!” #
@hubbit But, relax, you’ve got the Internet. And: “The Internet is really really great!” #
@hubbit Eh, you already declared it Avenue Q day! They should see it coming! #
@hubbit Also, that was *not* a pun. Dammit. #
It appears I have an extra CSO ticket for tonight! DM me. #
@hubbit That’s cos you work on the day I have my CSO subscription series for. :) #
@hubbit That is, in fact, precisely the strategy I’m being forced to adopt to pass my bio class. Concepts are irrelevant. Memorize & dump. #
@hubbit Yeah, but you don’t hold on to the memorized stuff long. It’s gone after the test. Bye bye, phospholipid bilayer! #
Seriously, anyone want to take my second CSO ticket? It’s an awesome terrace seat! #
@BlogPeoria Pry it up off the keyboard. That’s what I usually do to that and the dingbat Windows key. Easy (and fixable)! #

Just made lime marmalade. 9 half-pint jars, 1 pint jar, and 1 cup in a tupperware thingie. Who wants some!??! #
Am being forced to jump through a ton of hoops for Amex. Who insist they have been trying! and trying! to call! Why have gotten no vm, then? #
@bestof1000 Emissions testing facility. Queue’s just as long, people waiting just as bitter, only with extra carbon monoxide flavoring. #
@richardroeper But…but…but… parade :( #
Made appt with DePaul advisor to talk about transfer options. Yikes– feels scarily like almost making a decision. #
@mizmoose Woot indeed! #

@YarnHarlot Here’s what you need to know about Fox News. http://tinyurl.com/cvhl5g Or, as some say, Faux News. #
I just learned why swissfrancs are abbreviated CHF. Silly polyglot countries and their silly Latin fallback plans. #
@hubbit Yankee Stadium? #
The idea of Crede the Twinkie, … it still burns. #
@writchrd Yes, but then again, I have the intelligence of a blob of cotton candy. For reals, yo. #
Hm. Weekend project did not go quite according to plan. Contemplating how to go from here. #
@eddieizzard In Chicago, waiting for promised thunderstorms to descend. In 30th fl apt w/west view, facing the storm’s approach. Fun! #
@sanityknit @Kbcraigs Ha ha, Kelson’s a dormrat! #
