Loved Hopey. Even liked Biden. Loved @Suntimes’ remark that Pelosi looked like she was wearing a snuggie. HATED Jindal’s SingSong StoryTime. #
@redeyechicago I couldn’t pay attention — I couldn’t get past the kiddie storytime cadence. & the part where he’d be repossessed at birth. #
Great. Now I have the music from MACs weird-ass Hello Kitty collection advert stuck in my head. Where is MY bed of pink cotton candy?? #
I wish there was some sort of cookie I could set that says “I already subscribe to Netflix” so I wouldn’t get their stupid popups anymore. #
Learning about fork() today. How hard can it be? #
@Suntimes Ugh. No. #
Just got off the fone with Sox box office. <3 them. They are always so cool to talk to, plus it means avoiding TicketBastard. Yay Sox! #
Off the fone with Sox box ofc again. They were, again, awesome. A (real) partial season ticket holder is niqui! #
Happiness is…listening to your team’s first baseball broadcast of the new year, even if it is only spring training. Go Sox! #
@richardroeper Forget the Snuggie cultists. It’s baseball time! http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/scoreboard/20090225.html #

WaMu is at my school signing ppl up for accts. What? Aren’t they an ex-bank? #

Plotting how to turn a failing Ikea tv tray table into a knitting stand. Need dowels! #

The oddest thing just happened: Reading some Oscars recaps, I almost wish I’d actually watched. Which never happens! #
Grr. Annoyed at self due to picking up refactoring $(particularly gnarly perl mess) after a long absence; have forgotten where I was at. #
@ColonelTribune So much awesomeness! I would totally use that HS rail. OK, maybe not to KC but Cleveland, sure! TRAINS WE CAN BELIEVE IN! #
@WBEZ Too spammy. Prefer it locked down to a distinct livetweet-specific name which one can follow or not, without un-following the orig. #

Apparently am on a video kick. That said, the fantastic video for my fave “Fundamental” track: http://tinyurl.com/65wke2 #
Also, /WANT/ that mix of “Integral.” Badly. #
