Bloc Party next Sat at Aragon. <3 Anyone else in? Intimacy fucking rocks, if you haven’t heard it. #
@richardroeper Ah, but don’t you know, any reason is an excuse to harp on the same old same old. Getting over it is so ’90s! #
Mmmm….slushie: just discovered the bottle of pinot grigio I stuck in the freezer “for a few minutes” last night, and forgot. Whoops. #
So glad I got my FM antenna back! XRT seems to suck much less than it did. #
@sanityknit Have fun — don’t strangle anyone who has coffee while you still can’t! :) #
Have bio test today. Don’t want to go to class. Want to stay home and knit socks. Waaaaaaah. #
Off to big bio test! Wish me luck! #
Bio: sucked. Prof and student got into argument. “I’m speaking English!” “No you’re not!” (Prof has accent.) Went downhill rapidly. #
Note to self: Never ever ever take a five hour class, or a Saturday class, and especially not BOTH at the same time, ever again. Ugh. #
@sanityknit Yum! <3 TJs. CHEEEEEEEESE. And the frozen yummies! And the cheap-as-chips marinara. And the cheese. CHEESE! #

Email ad for Spin-Off Mag touts spinning as a way to save money. Don’t think I buy that story, and I’ve already got all the equipment! #
@EricZorn Not long, but then again, I spin (yarn (actual yarn, not stories)). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distaff #
Just discovered Norwegian purl via knittyblog. LOVE LOVE LOVE. So much awesome, and so easy to pick up! http://is.gd/o7iy #
@hubbit Ping if you need any head-bangy assists… :) #
@Since1908 Which is also to say 381 days until 102… =) #
I like black jellybeans. #
@mizmoose Yes, but it’s only because 5 is way more completely frigging AWESOME. #
Off to Hackney’s now for beers and fish ‘n chips. #
Drinky drinky! I can hardly believe it is so nearly spring that i can stand outdoors without a coat. #

In a cab heading home, and thoroughly tired. Quick trips are the pits. #
@tutumagu well, about the time you tweeted that, I was in a plane from LGA landing at ORD. Wishing I was cosy tucked in bed, mostly. #
Mmmm, fresh ripe — just this side of squishy — pear at lunch. Yum. #

NYC. Punk rock heavy metal karaoke still rocks. #
Thank you, anonymous oper of ‘31415926’ open access point, for letting me mooch your wifi. You’re nice! #
Also, your network name is awesome, ‘31415926.’ #
Morning. Sun’s coming up. Temp should be in the 60s. Off to find the subway now – metrocard & chicago card plotting against me in my pocket. #
So weird to be at work at 9am, but before the opening bell! But still have cnbc: snme things remain constant. #
Oh, how I love manually doing the openSUSE installer software selection widget. Love love love. Clicky. Clicky. Clicky. Stabby. Clicky. #
@smokes70 I’m pretty sure you’re just making that up. #
@YarnHarlot Who said a server is inanimate? I work with them on a daily basis and trust me, they are sentient. And also malicious. #
The weird thing about this unplanned, sudden work travel is that I keep forgetting what day it is. Getting off schedule freaks me out! #
Getting ready to head back to NYC and from there, Chgo. Board train in CT at 1600 EDT, scheduled to arrive home at 2200ish CDT. @whee. #
Also, hah. Ancient mushism (“@ whee,” sans space), now pokes some stranger. Hi, actual person @whee! Do you get that a lot? #
Also. Murt get this in: weather here is GORGEOUS! #

@eddieizzard How about Leader and Minions? Minions are fun! #
It’s Tuesday, and I’m feeling strangely optimistic about it. #
Idea of xferring to DePaul earlier than planned (see blog) still eating at my head. Should talk to someone at financial aid office 1st. $$$! #
Tons and tons of sirens outside around the office for the past little while. What is going on out there? #
@hubbit My, you are busy — I’m not even at 1500 tweets, since last May. #
@Mithaecus Doesn’t the universe implode or something if that happens? #
@fourtraveldeals I want to travel! How about: NYC from Chicago, late May? #
@smokes70 Or this: http://tinyurl.com/d4djqv #
@smokes70 I think it was far more likely to be a puppy! #
http://tinyurl.com/dytxt2 Mena Suvari…what…what the…wha…with… your hair??? so confused by bad bad bad. #
@smokes70 But only because it was manipulated into doing so by a dog who was probably holding it hostage. #
Crankymaking events of this afternoon have somewhat overtaken my being pleased that my KnitPicks order shipped out this morning. #
@tutumagu Could always be worse. Wanna get suddenly shipped off to a remote site to fix something? I think we both need a drink! #
@hubbit I want one of those too! Except full of Scotch. And no straw. And maybe not insulated. #
Ok, I am off. To LaGuardia. Because the server we shipped yesterday decided to arrive dead. Naturally. No math class for me this week! #
