@sanityknit I’d make a pot-kettle crack, but you’re right, Pokemon is totally dorking. Sorry @kbcraigs! #
Also, ‘dorking’ is English-while-very-very-sleepy for ‘dorky.’ Just go with it. #
Car alarm going off for entire 2hr lecture so far. On 9th floor-anyone got a brick? #
Making chicken tortilla soup. Cannot wait for its triumphant being-done-ness, as even in progress, it’s totally yummy. #

@sanityknit Hold out! Don’t be a lemming like all the rest of us! #
Just called CC co. to dispute a charge; 10 minutes later it’s dealt with. A change of pace from the nightmare that was trying to cancel. #
@robotviki I know! I just went outside…WITH NO COAT ON! And I didn’t die of exposure!! I’m still reeling in shock. #
I wonder if she was in a Volvo? http://tinyurl.com/cxvjfl #
I am singing a little song about yaml. A very little song. Which is mostly just the word ‘yaml.’ #

This morning: checked value of car and redid auto insurance coverage. I lead a life of madcap excitement and non-stop thrills. #
@richardroeper You must be taking up my space. I haven’t gotten called in… oh, 10 years or so? I could use the variety in my workday! #

It’s usually about the point where I decide what I really need is getopt() when it all starts to seem like an insurmountable problem. #
@secabeen Ha! Nice. I can just picture the “WTF” face when faced with the lower speeds. “But… but… but…?!?!!?” #
I love albums that sneak up on me: on first listen, not so impressed, maybe dismissive…eventually, completely unstoppable and absorbing. #
@RevPirateDan Yes, but we weren’t until you brought it up! #
