the everyday adventures of sabrina

• I like to think that the terrorists die a little inside every single time someone cracks a “undiebomber” or “Great Balls of Fire” joke now. #
• For one thing, an actual hamster will tickle your hands with its whiskers, making you laugh. Also stuffs its cheeks & twitches nose cutely. #
• I don’t understand why people would fight to get a fake robot hamster when they could get an actual hamster, which is far superior. #
• It’s so hot in this office. I’d like a cup of tea but I’m afraid I’d burst into flames if I had a hot drink. #
• @ebertchicago ITYM “Republican.” The ad is from Andy Miller, (now former) GOP, not a Democrat. in reply to ebertchicago #
• @mgfarrelly unless you’re playing Kingdom of Loathing! in reply to mgfarrelly #
• @BrentDPayne Last time I went, last season, it was just fine – friend brought a pro camera with a huge zoom lens, so not subtle. :) in reply to BrentDPayne #
• Also: Best of Bootie 2009 is out, yum: http://www.bootiemashup.com/bestofbootie2009/ #
• Gizmodo: “President Obama, it’s time to fire the TSA.” http://is.gd/5FwcF #

• @Ipstenu See, that’s what I don’t want, the long, drawn-out greying. If I could just wake up, say, Friday and have it done, I’d be good. in reply to Ipstenu #
• Well, I can now answer the question as to when my hair is going to start to go grey. Two weeks before my 32nd birthday, apparently. #
• @Ipstenu @hubbit @smokes70 I liked the part where he was ineligible for Selective Service on account of being Teh Crazee, myself. in reply to Ipstenu #
• Annnnnd the Illinois GOP booted Andy “Mark Kirk has Teh Ghey!!!” out. No clubs for him at all anymore. Too bad, so sad. http://is.gd/5EOsB #
• @smokes70 Ad continues: “And there are rumors that he’s in a club! …I wish I could be in a club. But nobody will let me in. :( ” in reply to smokes70 #
• @hubbit HAM-fisted. HAM-FISTED. Context is everything!!! in reply to hubbit #
• @TheUnusualsNYC Yaaaaaaaaay! #
• OH NOES, Mark Kirk might have Teh Ghey! EGAD! So claims his opponent in a fairly ham-fisted ad. http://is.gd/5EB7u #
• I guess I’ll give up my NY travel thoughts. This is why I should have booked while tipsy! #
• @smokes70 @seanware Yeah, the noisemakers are all out sleeping off their holiday excesses, today. :) in reply to smokes70 #
• Yay! Making plans w/friend to go to Camelback Ranch to watch #whitesox spring training on my Spring Break! http://is.gd/5EvU0 #
• @Ipstenu My, that made my audiophile friend sputter in an entertaining fashion. in reply to Ipstenu #
• @smokes70 Yep! Back in civilization. Phew! in reply to smokes70 #
• Now I want poutine. Dang. #
• Hm. Only $240 r/t MDW-YTC. Could ice skate the Rideau Canal and nom poutine for new year’s. #
• @seanware On y va! Peut-être. Je n’ai pas encore décidé. in reply to seanware #
• @Ipstenu HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. I love whoever did that. in reply to Ipstenu #
• @seanware But it’s weeeeeeeeeeks away…..:-) in reply to seanware #
• @seanware Well, yes, but that isn’t an impulse vacation if I planned it on the heels of the last one! :) in reply to seanware #
• The trouble with waiting until you’re sober to book impulsive vacations is then the second-guessing sets in and you wind up going nowhere. #
• Okay, everyone: Top reasons for or against going to, say, Paris for New Year’s after my astonishingly shitty Christmas. Go! #
• @Ipstenu I dunno, the psycho in a hoodie look was pretty hot. in reply to Ipstenu #
• Oh shit, it’s past ten and I’ve got to go to work in the morning. Really, @lorenzodeleon, it’s not too late to give us the week off work! #
• @hubbit It is nearly time for a kosher lunchie confab soon, nom nom nom, no? :-) in reply to hubbit #
• @hubbit I did not! Just the show. Linkie? in reply to hubbit #
• Also, slightly worried as to what it says about me that I love JS when he is most psychotic. Um. I’m really well-adjusted, honestly. #
• Finally finished The End of Time (I). My. Well, non-spoilery: Did not expect to find bleached-blond John Simm as attractive as I did. #

• .@Sanityknit seems to think I should sober up before making plane reservations. Spoilsport! :) #
• Really, no tweets in the past 20 minutes or so? Is twitter being sassy again? #
• On the heels of Christmas, I *really* wish I had this week off and tickets to Paris for New Year’s. #
• People: Quit following me because I said the word “Microsoft.” I think Microsoft is a bunch of slovenly coders with no QA & bad marketing. #
• I keep pausing The End of Time. I think I don’t want it all to be over. :( #
• Dear Microsoft: I was really pleased with the results of upgrading Grandma to Windows 7 until I discovered you screwed with her email. Argh. #
• @sanityknit No answer at your place! That DVD must be working. :) in reply to sanityknit #
• @Kbcraigs @Sanityknit are you two tweeting at each other while sitting in the same room again? #
• @sanityknit Dude. You have no idea. I am totally calling you as soon as my phone is recharged. in reply to sanityknit #
• Home, sorta unpacked, and got water on for tea. Even have shortbread for bikkys. :) I LOVE YOU, CHEZ MOI. #
• @beth825 Oh, that was a typo. I was making a crack about the XXLs being size 10. In Kate Moss-land, maybe. in reply to beth825 #
• Home now. Yay. Pass the wine. #
• I know how to cheer myself up: #glee volumes 1 and 2 to sing along with on the way home. #
• Also, thanks everyone for being sympathetic to poor woeful niqui. Next year less whining, I promise. (or more drunktweeting, we’ll see!) #
• One thing’s for sure: when I get home, I am MURDERING a bottle of cheap plonk. #
• @sanityknit maybe! I might just crawl in a cave until it’s all over tho. :) in reply to sanityknit #
• @Ipstenu now you know why I was so upset about missing Sherlock Holmes. :) in reply to Ipstenu #
• @smokes70 SOON. Told grandma obviously it’s time to go as my patience is clearly gone. She insisted I eat first. Sigh. in reply to smokes70 #
• Apologized to Dad for shouting before he left. He kind of looked like a kicked puppy. I love Christmas!!!!!!! #
• Think my last tweet was unintelligible due to my shoutiness. Couldn’t even figure out what I was trying to say myself. Angry niqui is angry. #
• It is really offensive to be stuck listening to thinly veiled overt racism and not react without shouting, in my defense. #
• Apparently my patience, once exhausted, does not return quickly. Shouted again after listening to story about preferability of kneecappings #
• Prtty sure I just overheard presumption of cousin’s hubby’s gangbangerness because he’s black and got mugged tues night. Must’ve been drugs! #
• New rule: no family visits longer than 2 days. #
• Shouted at Dad abt his repeating of false rumors and lectured on diff between direct&representative democracy, & just want to be alone now. #
• So much argh. I want to go home. :( I want to drive at 45 mph for 5 hrs thru blizzard conditions, and go home. #
• @beth825 what?KRis you take a wrong turn and turn up in Kate Moss-land? in reply to beth825 #
• Oh good, time for the morning “#hcr is going to doom us all” rant. I lost my ability to keep my mouth shut at the parroting. #

• Think I have my itchy-feet excuse to flee for a few hours. Bye, REALLY LOUD TELEVISION! Phew. #
• @beth825 yeah… This is the classic channel-surf-and-complain routine here. All day. Do not understand :( in reply to beth825 #
• I guess my TV-usually-off lifestyle is the statistical outlier, but I don’t know why ppl watch if ‘all it is is garbage.’ #
• I just do /not/ understand life with a television on constantly, complaining nothing’s on. Surely ‘off’ is acceptable? I do it all the time! #
• Trying to find inoffensive way to say ‘yes, roads suck badly, but I need to go away on my own for a bit before I headexplode.’ #
• Am near to going nuts from cabin fever. Thinking ‘how bad could it be?’ about going shopping. #
• I know, I know, but for reals: Peoria drivers are WORSE than Chicago drivers. Esp in 4″ of snow. Slow, not fast, you slipsliding idiots! #
• @christensen Naked Mole Rat Christensen? in reply to christensen #
• About to upgrade grandma to Windows 7. May the force be with me, I guess. #
• This would really all be easier if she had a Mac! #
• I really feel like I should offer to put Windows 7 on, to get rid of Vista, but I don’t know if she wants me to change everything up again. #
• Saturday morning, doing tech support for Grandma’s computer. #

• About 3+ oz of singles spun up today, relaxing at grandma’s and avoiding icy roads outside. http://twitpic.com/v8cua #
• Xmas day television is a wasteland. I miss my DVD collection and instant Netflix at home. At least today was low-stress. #
