Oooh… do I spy with my little eye a moderately-sized patch of blue sky? #
@denizenofchaos But facebook status updates are so 2007! #
Dear CNBC: Please get Kudlow’s dresser to quit choosing ties that sear my retinas. Yellow with outlined grey polka dots… AUGH. no <3,–s. #
New /etc/system post: The nature of ‘production’ http://ziggurat.org/sysadmin/?p=26 #
I can’t wait until I use up this bottle of yucky Olay Quench body lotion at my desk, so I can open something less chemical-smelltastic. Bleh #

“Oops”: “[A] contractor…had a file-sharing program on [a sys which] also contained…blueprints for Marine One.” http://tinyurl.com/dxbw46 #
@hubbit Nothing’s wrong with ‘secure,’ except for the part where it doesn’t mean ‘securitize,’ which is to turn things into securities. #
@hubbit Also, now all words that start with ‘secur-‘ looks weird to me… #

Off to bio class. Another saturday about to slosh right down the tubes. Just keep swimming! #
@margaretdawson Doh! #
I can’t wait for spring, for them to resume working on my balcony, so I can go out there and wash the %^&*&^% dust off the frigging windows. #

Some days I don’t even have to actually go in to the office in the morning to have it completely ruin my day. ARRGH ARGGHGH ARGGHGHH! #
Off to CSO. Pierre Boulez will fix everything. Can’t believe you slackers are all too sick to take this frankly fantastic ticket from me. #
Holy cow, CSO percussion. Y’all rocked the house tonight. That was brilliant. #
Holy crap. Rental prices in my hood falling like mad. Anyone ever successfully negotiated a landlord down at lease renewal time? #
@shadow Ha! Is that a corollary to the sincerest form of flattery — the even sincerer-est is when they’re too lazy to imitate? #
@pearnest Yeah.. I might give it a shot. I’m a crap (chicken) negotiator so I don’t have high expectations, but what the hey. :) #
AMC movie promotion email to me: “Don’t miss the Jonas Brothers in 3D!” What, with a pellet gun? Oy. #
@shadow Wow. Silly remarks aside, that must be kinda annoying, actually. Flattering, but annoying. #

@sanityknit I know! I listened to baseball on the radio earlier today! It was great! I love Spring Training. #
Anyone got a hankerin’ to see the CSO tonight? (Boulez doing AmÃ©riques, should be fantastic) Have a spare terrace seat! DM me! #
