Fucked-up dreams last night involving airlifting teddy bears via rf toy helicopters to the top of tv broadcast towers named Mulder & Scully #
Desk is cluttered, work is cluttered, life is cluttered. Going to drive me absolutely mad any time now. #
New rule: Your music video sucks if I see someone in it reading a textbook I had in my freshman year soc class. Or phil. #
@writchrd Yeah, I know… my friend keeps texting me every time it goes down! #
So apparently Anthony Edwards was on ER last night. I would’ve watched if I’d known, though I gave it up lik 5 years ago due to suck. #
Jeez. Mr. Grumpypants! http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2007/aug/13/fashion.comment #

@writchrd Delete delete delete! (And when all else fails, create a new folder, call it Inbox YYYYMMDD, and move it all there.) #
Pondering throwing over the dealer mechanic (that I hate because they condescend) for a recommended local place. At least for an exam. #
Also, dear stock market: You can quit tanking now. I got the point. Now would like my net worth graph to stop taking this nosedive. x,-s. #
“rubberized rocket fuel…propel themselves [at] random at high speed…bouncing…inferno.” WANT: http://tinyurl.com/6fynkz #
@mizmoose Bwahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaa……. #
Crap, I’m doomed: http://www.catswhothrowupgrass.com/kill.php #
@robotviki Maybe, if you use a book of Ben Franklin quotes and not a dictionary, to look it up? #
seeing nick swisher in yankee pinstripes makes niqui a sad white sox fan :( #

Plans backfired. Weds French class cancelled cos I was the only one. Taking Tu-Th instead, which means *2* French classes Tuesdays. +Skating #
Feel liberated from obligation, having thrown the last of the gross tazo orange tea away. Now it’s time for tea I’ll actually enjoy! #
WANT: http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/driving/features/article5106213.ece #
Listening to Paulson’s speech. Jesus, someone give that poor man some cough drops. #
Ugh. FAFSA tonight, figure out the financial aid sitch. Go over college info I’ve pulled down over past few days. Figure out plan. Fret. #
Happy clean inbox day! #
Our “reorged” dept has reached the point of complete disarray when I start tracking group projects in self-defense. Again. #
Spent the past hour or so reading up on endemic Passat engine sludge issue. Now in state of worry. KBB still more than repair, but… #

Coming down with a cold. Not very pleased with this. #
Looking forward to French class today – pronounciation workshop. Perhaps I’ll stop confusing people with ‘douziÃ¨me’ v. ‘deuxiÃ¨me’ soon. #
Changed my iTunes sharing label for the first time in 4 years or so. ALL ART IS no longer FOR SALE. #
Just realized that the reason I dislike Tazo Wild Sweet Orange tea is because it reminds me of Grumtine orange-scented paint thinner. Yuk. #

@smokes70 William Hartnell, Patrick Troughton, Jon Pertwee, … :) #
Missing the days of using terminal write to shock the hell out of users, when you point out to them that they are doing silly things. #
FL Tech recruiter surprised to learn I have no intention of wasting time and money on any more “intro to Office” reqd coursework. Oh well. #
@writchrd Not just that. Cop funeral at Rockefeller too. #
I wonder if I should tell $USER that the sql query he started 75 minutes ago is (a) going to take forever and (b) do absolutely nothing. #
