  • Just picked up and hung some pix I recently had framed. Yay! Turned out v. well — still astoundingly overpriced, but v. well. #
  • After a particularly frustrating spate of accidental double-clicks I smashed my mouse repeatedly on the desk. Seems to be fixed now. Win! #
  • @sanityknit Weeellll… I don’t think he was originally quite this complete-whackjobby. Hey look over there, how about some nice poetry?? #

  • @writchrd Get Jilly to do one of these: http://tinyurl.com/7dh6wd :-) #
  • In collusion with @smokes70, now adopting ‘beh’ as what to say when ‘meh’ isn’t enough to describe my apathy. Let’s see if it catches on! #
  • Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. Some things are quite impossible to respond to with anything less disbelieving than “for real?” #
  • Have turned to a kick-ass-and-take-names frame of mind: not in an angry kicking ass mood, just “awright, let’s do this shit.” #

  • /me shakes her tiny pedantic fist in rage at people who make up pseudo-Latin pluralisations because they think ‘ii’ looks cool. #
  • @shadow U! #
  • Bad joke time. Homeless man to me yesterday: “Did you hear what Obama said today?” Me: “No, what’d he say?” Homeless man: “CHANGE!” #

i don’t think death cab for cutie have it right at all. that is not the sound of settling. the sound of settling is more like a resigned sigh, a shrug, or a muttered “fuck it.”

  • My mouse is acting weird and often double-clicks when it shouldn’t, which is frankly beginning to drive me batshit crazy. Arrrgh! #
  • @sanityknit Sudafed + Afrin = sweet sweet relief from cloggyheadedness. Good luck feeling better by classtime… #

  • @robotviki If anyone comes up with an answer, make sure you retweet it! #
  • Why are textbooks so high-priced? http://tinyurl.com/yq7n6f BECAUSE THE AUTHORS ARE WHINY BITCHES. Oh noes, used books r ebill!!!!1!!1! #
  • Also, Mr. Intro Psych Author Whiny Bitch, it’s called the free market; maybe your colleagues down the hall in Econ can tell you about it. #
  • Furthermore, I don’t need your treatise, no matter how hard you tried, to guide my life, so quit the “personal library” bullshit pity party. #
  • Helicopter has been hovering over circle interchange for like 20 minutes now. Wondering what’s going on. Trib, S-T sites have nothing. #
  • And no sooner tweeted last than helicopter circled and landed somewhere Congress/Wellsish – obscured behind bldgs, dunno. A mystery! #
  • @sanityknit The importance of qualitative research in education? As opposed to what, quantitative? How about: Verifiable > Wikipedia. #
  • @sanityknit Sorry, I was off on a tear about the prices for my books this year, and that article made me cranky and embittered. :) #
  • @suchagirl Thanks! I wound up doing Amazon but I’ll keep that site bookmarked for next semester. :) #
  • @sanityknit You say no social life together, but I might have to miss the gathering due to bio class, if prof won’t let me skip :( Dunno yet #
  • Dammit. I always accidentally click the Ignore button when people ask to friend me on last.fm, then I feel like a jerk. #
  • @smokes70 Oh, crap… the time is about right. I bet that was what it was. :( That poor guy. #
