Drawback of the Daley Bicentennial rink: ZOMG MY SHOES WERE COLD when I changed out of my skates! #
Why is it that I always arrive at the rink right before the zamboni comes out to play? #
I am off like a prom dress. #
“In DC, they called it ‘Snowpocalypse.’ In Chicago, they called it ‘Tuesday.'” http://is.gd/8G93I #
I do not understand how a guy w/ a grudge against the government deliberately flying an airplane into a federal building is “not terrorism.” #
When asking if we have a team lunch tomorrow (so I know to reschedule Friday Poker), M. says “we don’t need you at lunch anyway.” Charming. #
Amused by Time Out Chicago’s Hyde Park issue, esp article which basically recommends decamping to S. Loop for all needs. Represent, bitches! #
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Iceland&oldid=194230341#Economy is obviously in support of today being happier than usual. #
I am unilaterally declaring, right now, that today is going to be a good day. #
I still hate you, Lack of Ability to Sleep. #

OMG, the parting shot on this story is …. RT @WBEZ Vocalo Daily Snippet: Email from my wifeâ€™s lover. F my life. http://bit.ly/bVfad1 #
After finding http://www.pallascat.com/pcat/photos/page11.html, I am cheerful now. AWWWWWWWW FUZZY KITTENS <3 #
V. tempted to sign email to realtor with “I am not an episode of ‘Hoarders.'” #
Gah. Only three weeks left of winter quarter. HELLO DEADLINES I DID NOT MISS YOU AT ALL. #
So let me get this straight. Cubs blackmailing AZ into building new ST stadium, costing all other teams’ fans 8%/ticket? http://is.gd/8B0Tn #
I has a pink penguin! http://twitpic.com/13rszn #
Compromise: Am asking landlady if she has spare storage…but suggesting that realtor should pick up the rent for it due to being a twit. #
Heh. Suicide Linux: http://qntm.org/suicide #
Still mentally composing response to realtor. Things like “Look,” “madam,” “not inclined,” and “your convenience” keep coming up. #

And now… realtor asks if I would be willing to *put my stuff in storage*? Just the stuff I don’t use every day, naturally. AYFKM? #
Agh! That grey hair I found a couple months ago? It’s back… WITH REINFORCEMENTS!!! #
I’m not unsympathetic to the realtor wanting to de-personalize the apt to make it easier to sell to strangers, but — tact is important, yo. #
You knw wht else infuriates me? I even did *laundry* before realtor came by so she wouldn’t have to see my dirty socks. Clutter, indeed. #
A very cool #whitesox ad – http://tinyurl.com/yhsjlql – just the thing to perk me up a bit at the end of a crappy Tuesday. #
Rather offended by remarks from real estate agent wanting me to “declutter” my apartment so she can bring a photo crew in. #
Dear Former Web Hosting Co.: Please quit bragging you’ve fired people, & want me back as a customer. Your dirty laundry is not my concern. #

My smoke detector is, as the kids say, a whiny bitch. #
An invitation to join another university honor society. After how many “best and brightests” do you stop feeling like a fraud? #
I *love* meetordie.com. #
On being clear with your displeasure: http://imgur.com/lsU3X #
Am starting to think my sleeper-inner is broken: up til 1:30 with homework, slept ’til 7. Boooooo. #

Put groceries away, then on to homework… dreaming of someday being finished with school. #
Home from a morning soapmaking excursion up north, then grocery shopping on the way home – because I loooove me some Jewel on Sunday. #
Awake. Well, I guess 5 hours isn’t as bad as it has been. Still: ugh. Stupid alarm clock. #
So very tired of stress-related insomnia. Can’t even sleep in tomorrow. Ugh, ugh, ugh. #
