@mizmoose For 11, you mean? Ehhh. I guess I’m mostly reserving judgment until we see how the 14 year old emo kid does. in reply to mizmoose #
Have I mentioned I don’t really like the new TARDIS-shaped DW logo yet? ‘Cos I kinda don’t. Old school 4th Doctor diamond-shaped one FTW! #
Also, can’t be sure just yet, but think I might have just talked myself out of my December class on account of ZOMG NEED VACATION. #
Sadly, it wasn’t until at about 7PM Sunday night when I really felt refreshed from my week, and now the weekend’s over already. #
@Kbcraigs Also they’re just not a very good band. At all. Under any circumstances. Ever. in reply to Kbcraigs #
@Kbcraigs You must have missed it also when an Iron & Wine cover of “Such Great Heights” was used for M&M ads a few years back. Bleagh. in reply to Kbcraigs #
Sad that my new banana fiber yarn is not going to work for my fingerless gloves. Too chunky. Hat maybe? Not sure. #
Now I have Weird Al stuck in my head thanks to VC’s Sunday Song Lyric. I blame @orinkerr. #
@suezq_WI DST ends next weekend! Enjoy the light while it lasts :) in reply to suezq_WI #

Should mention, after fixing mistake of this week, am on 3rd to last Lilalaunetuch motif. End is in sight! Then kettle dyeing it! #
Feeling itchy to cast on for new lace. Going to finish one WIP for a friend instead. My willpower is frightening even myself. #
New drive belt on the Babe. Feeling hopeful about merino again. #
I mean, really? Criticize real policy and politics as you like, but can we not make stupid shit up just to cast new blame? Beyond lame. #
Just read someone lambasting Obama for not closing borders & thus allowing H1N1 outbreak. Because flu germs totally respect Customs. #
@beth825 Awesome! Soon you too will be whiling away time spent in grocery line checkouts confusing onlookers by spindling. Muahaha. in reply to beth825 #
10AM Saturday gym appointments always sound like such a sensible plan, except on Saturday mornings. #
Woke up this morning with bits of Nirana’s Incesticide running through my head. Now playing: Molly’s Lips. #

What the hell is a ‘redress number’ and why does American Airlines want mine if I buy a ticket from them? Creepy. #
I love how Google Docs talks about “collaborators.” Today, we are all Vichy! #
@enjoyillinois Can you cast, like, the entirety of East Peoria, IL? in reply to enjoyillinois #
@Ipstenu @smokes70 and speaking of “as a movie,” anyone seen the new Fame yet? I know it makes me pathetic but I still wanna see it! in reply to Ipstenu #
@Ipstenu @smokes70 Yeah, the pregnancy storyline must end, I agree. But hiatus for baseball playoffs now, so we’ll see in November! in reply to Ipstenu #
@smokes70 @Ipstenu @hubbit I moved here about a year before 773 got rolled out. I used to be 312 (and could be one now, but … am lazy). in reply to smokes70 #
@hubbit Meh. With my 847 primary phone, I’ve been dialing 11 digits for like 5 years now. Not like area codes mean anything anymore anyway. in reply to hubbit #
Argh. This most recent needle-haystack-search — not so… optimism-justifying, shall we say. #
@hubbit you have made me so hungreeee! in reply to hubbit #
LOL! RT @bmoyles * CityOfChicago is now known as Seattle #
@Ipstenu I know! I watched #Glee live this week and I had to pause and go do something so I could get behind enough to skip commercials. in reply to Ipstenu #
I feel vaguely guilty for liking a song, once I found out it’s by Robbie Williams. #
@MrHudson, thanks for providing a soundtrack for my evening tonight. #

Walking home in the rain from Publican. Delicious food. Love my city so much. Chicago! #
Tho enough time has passed you’d think novelty would wear off, I never fail to snicker through the entirety of “The Internet is for Porn.” #
@hubbit Oh, he’s got the most awful German accent in that! You’ll laugh your head off. in reply to hubbit #
Just saw an article w/comment from another Sabrina complaining about “teenage witch” tedium. I feel like I’ve got a kindred spirit at last. #
mmmm, caprese salad for lunch. nom nom nom! #
@redeyechicago But we’re not the “Second-to-someone-else” city, we’re the “Second-implementation-of-our” city, ‘cos of the Fire! in reply to redeyechicago #
Ordered pattern for $8 from Schlhs Press, can now call off CPL interlibrary scav hunt for May/June 1998 Piecework Magazine. Phew! #
So excited! Someone in a #Ravelry forum found a lace alphabet patt from Schlhs Press is same as mag art I’ve been trying all summer to get! #
Overall, I like the few photos I’ve taken of my yarns w/my homemade light tent http://is.gd/4vW0m but I think I need full-spectrum lights. #

@lorenzodeleon Yes! Shiny! in reply to lorenzodeleon #
Turned glee from work into the energy to go swim until I could swim no more. #
Still rolling on the glee that comes with having figured out how to solve that problem. Teehee. Go me! I rule! #
@WestWingReport You should point out that if y’all are to accurately report on healthcare issues, you deserve tasty fresh crisp apples too! in reply to WestWingReport #
Yay! I fixed a problem. Go me. #
Dear The World: It is the “gist” of an article. Not the “jest” of it. The “gist”! They don’t even sound the same! </3, –s. #
I need something to work on that is actually compelling. #
I want the coffee to go make itself. #
