  • I like to think that the terrorists die a little inside every single time someone cracks a “undiebomber” or “Great Balls of Fire” joke now. #
  • For one thing, an actual hamster will tickle your hands with its whiskers, making you laugh. Also stuffs its cheeks & twitches nose cutely. #
  • I don’t understand why people would fight to get a fake robot hamster when they could get an actual hamster, which is far superior. #
  • It’s so hot in this office. I’d like a cup of tea but I’m afraid I’d burst into flames if I had a hot drink. #
  • @ebertchicago ITYM “Republican.” The ad is from Andy Miller, (now former) GOP, not a Democrat. in reply to ebertchicago #
  • @mgfarrelly unless you’re playing Kingdom of Loathing! in reply to mgfarrelly #
  • @BrentDPayne Last time I went, last season, it was just fine – friend brought a pro camera with a huge zoom lens, so not subtle. :) in reply to BrentDPayne #
  • Also: Best of Bootie 2009 is out, yum: http://www.bootiemashup.com/bestofbootie2009/ #

  • @Ipstenu See, that’s what I don’t want, the long, drawn-out greying. If I could just wake up, say, Friday and have it done, I’d be good. in reply to Ipstenu #
  • Well, I can now answer the question as to when my hair is going to start to go grey. Two weeks before my 32nd birthday, apparently. #
  • @Ipstenu @hubbit @smokes70 I liked the part where he was ineligible for Selective Service on account of being Teh Crazee, myself. in reply to Ipstenu #

  • @smokes70 Ad continues: “And there are rumors that he’s in a club! …I wish I could be in a club. But nobody will let me in. :( ” in reply to smokes70 #
  • @hubbit HAM-fisted. HAM-FISTED. Context is everything!!! in reply to hubbit #

  • OH NOES, Mark Kirk might have Teh Ghey! EGAD! So claims his opponent in a fairly ham-fisted ad. http://is.gd/5EB7u #

  • @Ipstenu HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. I love whoever did that. in reply to Ipstenu #
  • @seanware But it’s weeeeeeeeeeks away…..:-) in reply to seanware #
  • @seanware Well, yes, but that isn’t an impulse vacation if I planned it on the heels of the last one! :) in reply to seanware #
  • The trouble with waiting until you’re sober to book impulsive vacations is then the second-guessing sets in and you wind up going nowhere. #
  • Okay, everyone: Top reasons for or against going to, say, Paris for New Year’s after my astonishingly shitty Christmas. Go! #
  • @Ipstenu I dunno, the psycho in a hoodie look was pretty hot. in reply to Ipstenu #

  • .@Sanityknit seems to think I should sober up before making plane reservations. Spoilsport! :) #
  • Really, no tweets in the past 20 minutes or so? Is twitter being sassy again? #
  • On the heels of Christmas, I *really* wish I had this week off and tickets to Paris for New Year’s. #
  • People: Quit following me because I said the word “Microsoft.” I think Microsoft is a bunch of slovenly coders with no QA & bad marketing. #
  • I keep pausing The End of Time. I think I don’t want it all to be over. :( #
  • Dear Microsoft: I was really pleased with the results of upgrading Grandma to Windows 7 until I discovered you screwed with her email. Argh. #
  • @sanityknit No answer at your place! That DVD must be working. :) in reply to sanityknit #
  • @Kbcraigs @Sanityknit are you two tweeting at each other while sitting in the same room again? #
  • @sanityknit Dude. You have no idea. I am totally calling you as soon as my phone is recharged. in reply to sanityknit #
  • Home, sorta unpacked, and got water on for tea. Even have shortbread for bikkys. :) I LOVE YOU, CHEZ MOI. #
  • @beth825 Oh, that was a typo. I was making a crack about the XXLs being size 10. In Kate Moss-land, maybe. in reply to beth825 #
  • Home now. Yay. Pass the wine. #
  • I know how to cheer myself up: #glee volumes 1 and 2 to sing along with on the way home. #
  • Also, thanks everyone for being sympathetic to poor woeful niqui. Next year less whining, I promise. (or more drunktweeting, we’ll see!) #
  • One thing’s for sure: when I get home, I am MURDERING a bottle of cheap plonk. #
  • @sanityknit maybe! I might just crawl in a cave until it’s all over tho. :) in reply to sanityknit #
  • @Ipstenu now you know why I was so upset about missing Sherlock Holmes. :) in reply to Ipstenu #
  • @smokes70 SOON. Told grandma obviously it’s time to go as my patience is clearly gone. She insisted I eat first. Sigh. in reply to smokes70 #
  • Apologized to Dad for shouting before he left. He kind of looked like a kicked puppy. I love Christmas!!!!!!! #
  • Think my last tweet was unintelligible due to my shoutiness. Couldn’t even figure out what I was trying to say myself. Angry niqui is angry. #
  • It is really offensive to be stuck listening to thinly veiled overt racism and not react without shouting, in my defense. #
  • Apparently my patience, once exhausted, does not return quickly. Shouted again after listening to story about preferability of kneecappings #
  • Prtty sure I just overheard presumption of cousin’s hubby’s gangbangerness because he’s black and got mugged tues night. Must’ve been drugs! #
  • New rule: no family visits longer than 2 days. #

  • Think I have my itchy-feet excuse to flee for a few hours. Bye, REALLY LOUD TELEVISION! Phew. #
  • @beth825 yeah… This is the classic channel-surf-and-complain routine here. All day. Do not understand :( in reply to beth825 #
  • I guess my TV-usually-off lifestyle is the statistical outlier, but I don’t know why ppl watch if ‘all it is is garbage.’ #
  • I just do /not/ understand life with a television on constantly, complaining nothing’s on. Surely ‘off’ is acceptable? I do it all the time! #
  • Trying to find inoffensive way to say ‘yes, roads suck badly, but I need to go away on my own for a bit before I headexplode.’ #
  • Am near to going nuts from cabin fever. Thinking ‘how bad could it be?’ about going shopping. #
  • I know, I know, but for reals: Peoria drivers are WORSE than Chicago drivers. Esp in 4″ of snow. Slow, not fast, you slipsliding idiots! #
  • @christensen Naked Mole Rat Christensen? in reply to christensen #
  • About to upgrade grandma to Windows 7. May the force be with me, I guess. #
  • This would really all be easier if she had a Mac! #
  • I really feel like I should offer to put Windows 7 on, to get rid of Vista, but I don’t know if she wants me to change everything up again. #
  • Saturday morning, doing tech support for Grandma’s computer. #

  • Xmas day television is a wasteland. I miss my DVD collection and instant Netflix at home. At least today was low-stress. #

  • Thank you, Baby Jesus, for BBC America and Blackadder, and saving me from Fox News. #
  • Really. The Glenn Beck Christmas Extravaganza. This is what Hell is, right? #
  • Ahh, Christmas. That special time of year for watching Glenn Beck and Dad telling me how #hcr is unconstitutional. Can has next week yet? #
  • Arrived safely in p-town. It’s all I hoped for. *sigh* #
  • Gifts all wrapped. Just left to get cat set, and load up the car. And vroom. #
  • @etoile Show up at a random stitch ‘n bitch and get someone to help? That’s how I learned to crochet, by announcing I can’t do it. :) in reply to etoile #
  • Just packed up a bag of fibery goodies to give to the lovely lady who is taking my old Louet off my hands! #
  • @sweatshopoflove Amen, sister. #
  • @hubbit @etoile Hiya, fellow knitter :) in reply to hubbit #
  • @Ipstenu That must be why it’s so delicious! in reply to Ipstenu #

  • @sanityknit Though, if I do mystically acquire a psychic link with Auntie Beeb, will definitely let you know. :-) in reply to sanityknit #
  • @sanityknit No, no, series 4 – with Donna – not the specials. :) in reply to sanityknit #
  • http://www.theyfightcrime.org/ ! #
  • Soy-imitation-everything must be stopped. #
  • About to watch series 4 DW finale – think I will need to stave off some angst soon. Maybe some Buffy. IT COULD BE BUNNIES! #
  • @hubbit No, trust me, we have sleet. All in my face while walking. :) in reply to hubbit #
  • @hubbit Nope. No one did. Not even you! in reply to hubbit #
  • Just thoroughly enjoyed Huw Stephens’ stubby little Welsh ginger legs bringing us the “Carbon Neutral Record of the Week.” Brilliant. #
  • Home early, cup of coffee, no obligations, and @Radio1 on the stereo makes for a happy niqui. #
  • It is sometimes necessary to remind myself that acquisition of consumer goods is NOT a competition. Even with yarn and fiber! #
  • (That said, the $15 cones of laceweight were tempting. BUT I HAVE ENOUGH LACEWEIGHT, I MUST RESIST.) #
  • Feel much better about yarn diet after scanning WEBS’ sale yarns and realizing nothing actually screams “BUY ME” at me. I shall overcome! #
  • Okay, I got the cat to take his pill, and *that* was a production. Surely *now* I’m done for the day, right?? #
  • I got up on time, I made coffee, I sent in a feature request to @IGGSoftware for iBank. Surely that’s all that’s required of me today, yeah? #
  • Got donor invite to open rehearsal at @chicagosymphony for Boulez performance in Jan! Can’t wait to ask for day off work. :) #
  • You know. Am enjoying my free time, but can’t help but feel that I want school to start back up again – want to get this thing finished! #
  • Have to say. Loooove spinning that gorgeous tussah silk, & yarn will be gorgeous when done, but it sheds all over everything! #
  • @cloudlover Sounds like a good reason to get together with some friends and go someplace with them! in reply to cloudlover #

According to my iTunes added-to-library date, In reverse order, counting down from the album I bought this morning:

  • Vive la Fête, Nuit Blanche – recommended by last.fm
  • Phoenix, Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix – recommended by Whirl
  • JP Nataf, Clair – last.fm
  • Bill Withers, Lean On Me – The Very Best of Bill Withers – heard one song on CSI: NY (“Ain’t No Sunshine”), had to have it, got the best of
  • Lily Allen, Alright, Still – didn’t have it
  • Calvin Harris, I Created Disco – last.fm
  • Passion Pit, Manners – Don’t recall, possibly Radio 1
  • Mr Hudson, Straight No Chaser – Radio 1, definitely
  • Kylie Minogue, Fever – I went on a disco kick for a bit there
  • Dannii Minogue, Club Disco – see above!
  • Lily Allen, It’s Not Me, It’s You – sometimes you just need more snark in your life
  • Felix da Housecat, Virgo Blaktro & the Movie Disco and He Was King – new release and missed the last one
  • MIA, Arular and Kala – I admit it, it was because I decided I needed more of this after hearing “Paper Planes” used by Michael Moore’s Capitalism: A Love Story trailer.
  • Kate Bush, Hounds of Love – has the distinction of being the only physical compact disc I bought all year, because it wasn’t available on iTunes; had to go to amazon.co.uk for it.
  • Yoel Levi et al.: Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, The Music of Barber – totally went on a Barber kick for a while after hearing the CSO do “Adagio for Strings,” which is an utter heartbreaker.
  • David Byrne & Brian Eno, Everything That Happens Will Happen Today – probably heard it announced on BoingBoing, but didn’t really need much encouragement to go get it
  • Michael Jackson, Off the WallThriller has been my #1 pop album of all time for so long it’s hard to believe I’d never really listened to Off the Wall at all. But I did my part to keep record sales up after he died, I guess.
  • Gustavo Dudamel & Los Angeles Philharmonic, DG Concerts – Bartók: Concerto for Orchestra – Dudamel kick, again after CSO.
  • Fleet Foxes, Fleet Foxes. Maybe recommended by last.fm?
  • Sigur Rós, Med sud i eyrum vid spilum endalaust – new release
  • Marin Alsop & Royal Scottish National Orchestra, Barber: Violin Concerto; Serenade for Strings; Souvenirs
  • Baltimore Symphony Orchestra et al, The Beauty of Barber
  • Little Boots, Illuminations EP – Radio 1
  • Simian Mobile Disco, Attack Sustain Decay Release – definitely Radio 1
  • Röyksopp, Junior – pretty sure also Radio 1
  • Tricot Machine, Tricot Machine – someone posted the video for “L’ours,” and it was awesome, so I picked up the album. Which is also awesome.
  • Robyn Hitchcock, Goodnight Oslo – XRT, actually, after hearing “What You Is.”
  • Pet Shop Boys, Yes – new release
  • TV on the Radio, Return to Cookie Mountain – someone or other said I’d probably like it
  • The Baseball Project, Vol. 1: Frozen Ropes and Dying Quails – because who doesn’t need a whole album themed around baseball, featuring a track called about how “I’m Ted Fucking Williams”?
  • Glasvegas, Glasvegas – surely must have been Radio 1
  • A Number of Names, “Sharevari” – saw a video clip of a Detroit local dance show from 1982, this is historically significant as one of the earliest examples of Detroit techno. Stands up very well
  • Lady GaGa, The Fame – picked this up after it was recommended by a Scottish kid in the hostel where I was staying in London in January, who was aghast (!!! aghast !!!) to learn I’d never heard of her, when he’d been told she was “very big in America.” This was, obviously, before she became very big in America — though perhaps not by much.
  • Yeah Yeah Yeahs, It’s Blitz! – new release
  • Joanna Newsom, Milk-Eyed Mender – heard “Peach, Plum, Pear” used as music to choreograph a steampunk robot ballerina video thing — maybe you had to be there, but it was a really great choice
  • Chicago Symphony Orchestra and Bernard Haitink, Shostakovich: Symphony No. 4
  • Andrew Schenck & The New Zealand Symphony Orchestra, Samuel Barber
  • Snow Patrol, A Hundred Million Suns – new release
  • Bernard Haitink & Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Mahler: Symphony No. 6 In A Minor – “Tragic” (Live) – is this the one they just won the grammy for, I think?
  • Pink, Funhouse – new release
  • Office, A Night at the Ritz – chicagoist, maybe?
  • “Silence in the Library”/”Forest of the Dead” two-parter and spinning the most fantastic silk roving. Nice way to end a Tuesday. #

  • Seen on the Interwebs: “Traveling by air is like going to jail for a day.” #
  • Turns out, “cats meowing silent night” immediately turned out today’s top selection: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3HEMsoBLR1o #
  • Subwoofer neighbor’s selections today: was cats meowing to a country “Silent Night,” now dogs barking “Jingle Bells.” aiee. #
  • @cloudlover I…think you should resign yourself to flight drama early. Gives you more time to ease into the despair of ORD. in reply to cloudlover #
  • My. Now, http://www.brewdog.com/tactical_nuclear_penguin.php is a *beer*. #

  • I love Chicagoans who call it Jewels. #
  • I have to tell you guys, I am less than enthused about the weather forecast for the rest of this week. #
  • My lunchtime fortune cookie: “Do not rush through life. Pause & enjoy it.” If I paused life I wouldn’t be rushing so much as asphyxiating. #
  • @chowbok Farecast used to be able to do that a little bit, but Bing fucked it all up. If I find a good replacement for it I’ll let you know! in reply to chowbok #
  • Hm. Is there a search site for “I have $x and am willing to fly up to n hours around these dates; find me a destination”? #
  • Mmmm, nummy eggroll for lunch. #
  • @christensen You’re being a bit hyperbolic here, don’t you think? He said that “they” have supporters who are xyz,… http://post.ly/FlyX #
  • Doing pushups always makes my shoulders mad at me. Don’t be a hater, shoulders! I’m doing this for your own good! #
  • I think that @lorenzodeleon should ban us from the ofc next wk, like $other_team did, so I can go on a proper vacation this time. #

  • I’m very mad at an ex for teaching me football so now I understand how and why the Bears suck so much. Was happier when ignorant. #
  • Oh, shit, I’ve got to go to work tomorrow. I miss vacation. Why couldn’t I win the lottery??? #
  • Such is life: disappointment. Alas. #
  • Time to leave home and embark on the trek to Chinatown to catch the Fun Bus to Hammond for Liz’s Birfday, pressie in hand! #
  • License: “I give permission for IBM, its customers, partners, and minions, to use JSLint for evil” – teehee – http://is.gd/5uYN3 #

  • Also, @beth825, I now see what you mean about FUCK YOU, GUARDIAN, AND YOUR SPOILERS. Do not read the DT retrospective, y’all. #
  • @Ipstenu Well, yes. He’s got to work on his CRAZY a bit. in reply to Ipstenu #
  • Also, I wonder if, under “Skills,” on David Tennant’s CV, he lists “CRAZY EYES” or “PORTENDING YOUR CERTAIN DOOM.” #
  • Also, okay, have watched The Waters of Mars now. No longer afraid of having it spoiled. DT reminds me of a psychotic Noah Wyle, a bit. #
  • @beth825 And how. I shall probably also need a couch to hide behind, for the creepy parts. in reply to beth825 #
  • @hubbit Yes, that sounds like a recipe for making yourself really hungry when all the shops are closed. :) in reply to hubbit #
  • @ianvisits LOL! I’m going to steal that line next time I’m hungover and wretched. :) in reply to ianvisits #
  • Oh, right… I’m sleepy because I haven’t woken up enough to go make some coffee. Sheesh. #

  • Not having seen The Waters of Mars yet, now I’m afraid to page down my tweets list lest I be spoiled. #
  • Tragedy! My Trindle broke! It fell, and one of the beads split straight in half :( Ironically, wasn’t even spinning at the time. :( :( :( #
  • @shadow You broke a blade? What on earth were you doing? :) in reply to shadow #
  • Still not loving the sewing together of knitted panels. Even with the ability to completely slop it together, it’s a draaaaaaaaaag. #
  • Oh, how I hate sewing knitted things together. So, so much. This is why I shall never again knit a sweater. Well, that, and lace rules! #
  • Okay. ’nuff idling about, ex post gym-o. Time to finish @lizg640’s birfday pressie and maybe get some silk spinning in! #
  • @cloudlover You’re killing me! I’d love to take you up on it but I swore to spin half my fiber stash before I bought any more. Booo! in reply to cloudlover #
  • @StevenGlassman No, I don’t think I have tried ginger beer… going to have to try it though, I love both ginger ale and root beer. :) in reply to StevenGlassman #
