• I’ve been sitting here going, why is evrybdy talking like there’s a game, when my schedule, right in frnt of me, clrly says it’s an off day? #

• @tinapurl Oooh, how did you know I was on a total lace kick lately? Is it some sort of yarn-selling, lace-sensing magic? in reply to tinapurl #
• You know. I know the #whitesox are being just awful lately and it’s been painful to watch, but the offseason, no baseball at all, is worse. #
• Yesterday, gave thought to doing some sort of French program in Quebec. Should really worry about finishing BA first. But planning is fun! #
• Totally looking forward to the weekend! Baseball, knitting, and casino for friend’s b-day! Steph’s gonna hit a royal flush, I know it! #

• @Ipstenu No, no, no! It’s not crap! It’s cheesy good fun! Go halvsies on a PB&J with someone & sing along. (not going to make obv Jrny ref.) in reply to Ipstenu #
• @shadow Hmm, dang, you’re right. IMDB just says “OSS Agent.” & I just watched that (twice, once w/commentary!) this past weekend! in reply to shadow #
• OTOH… I /could/ use it to carry knitting WIPs around the house……. and it is *only* £4……… #
• ZOMG. Just found source for bag I really want, only £4! But logo is too profane to use so it’s just to entertain self. Budget guilt. #
• @Ipstenu @smokes70 Yeah, first is the Director’s Cut, then the second one has a live twitter feed. Gotta give points for effort! & SINGING #
• @shadow Did you use her alter ego in XF ep “Triangle”? Or exhaust the chars she played in college theatre? in reply to shadow #

• @talkchibaseball I’m in my happy place. It may only last until Friday at 7:11 CDT, but I’m there. #whitesox #
• Alexei, I have forgiven you for at least 3, if not 4, of the innumerable errors you have committed this season. GO, GO-GO #WHITESOX! #
• @ericksonky Sez you :) #
• OH MY GOD #WHITESOX I LOVE YOU GUYS #
• DEAR GOD IN HEAVEN PLEASE LET THE #WHITESOX WIN THIS RIGHT NOW, AMEN #
• @hubbit I think you’ve got it wrong. It’s reg-a-lur-ly or reg’lur-ly. The ‘yoo’ sound is lost. But I don’t think it’s reg-la-lurry. in reply to hubbit #
• @Ipstenu Gak. It no longer being 1991, I ditched X ages ago. ;) in reply to Ipstenu #
• @Ipstenu No — I need a terminal definition to use on my remote hosts that will allow their apps to display properly on my local terminal. in reply to Ipstenu #
• Dear Interwebs: Does there exist a terminal definition that makes ncurses look right in Terminal.app? #mac #
• Hey NYC single ladies, you should date my friend Dan! http://bit.ly/9ZnBQ #

• @Ipstenu No. Any unused postseason ticket $ is a non-rfndable deposit on next year’s tickets. Can’t refuse either, or you lose seats nxt yr. in reply to Ipstenu #
• Just printed out order confirmation page of paying for #whitesox postseason tickets I’m sure they were premature in requiring me to buy. #
• I mean that in the nicest possible way. #
• Hm. How best to convey concept of “developer == inherently subordinate to sysadmins; ergo, you breaka my systems, i breaka you face”? #

• Dudes. It’s not “a 100.” “100” is “one hundred.” To write “a hundred,” you have to type “hundred” out. Even you, @Chicagoist! is.gd/2LiEy #
• I’m going to be bummed all day that the Nicest Man in Baseball (sorry, Tribe fans, I totes disagree w/you) is no longer a #whitesox. :( #
• As for the other half of that trade. Well. At least I don’t have to carry through on my Charlie Sheen in _Major League_ threat. #
• Oh my God, we traded Jim Thome. So he could have a shot at a WS, & I hope he does, but still. I think I’ll be sad frowny niqui all day. :( #

• @suezq_WI Oh, you know it! I’m thinking, new Lilalaunetuch shawl before classes start… :-) Welllll….maybe. We’ll see! in reply to suezq_WI #
• Just looked at schedule. My fall class is Tues – qtr starts next wk Weds. I get a whole ‘nother week of vacation! Snoopy dance!!! #
• @Ipstenu I’m not self-conscious, I just take exception at the no differentiation between “Shi-“-as-in-“ship” or “chi-“-as-in-“chick.” in reply to Ipstenu #
• @Southpaw Awww! What a cutie. Maybe he’ll be a good luck charm to turn around this road trip! in reply to Southpaw #
• @Ipstenu Because we’re the City that Works [on the things we want to do, not necessarily the ones we need to]! in reply to Ipstenu #
• (Via @writchrd) Always look on the Sox side of life! http://is.gd/2JNKs tweet tweet, twee-twee-twee-twee-twa-tweet! May as well laugh. #
• @Ipstenu @smokes70 Oh, hell yes! in reply to Ipstenu #
• I would rather #whitesox start Charlie Sheen before he got glasses than hear about Jose Contreras taking the mound again, & that’s a fact. #
• @Ipstenu @smokes70 I KNOW I KNOW I KNOW I CAN’T WAAAAAAIT :)))) in reply to Ipstenu #

• Pettiest possible Snow Leopard kvetch: I don’t like the black Apple Menu logo. And I’m not so hot on the dull grey menu bar, either. #
• @sanityknit Well, I’m sure something else will find a way to go wrong! :) #
• @richwolf I am still not quite sure I’m cool with the app-rejection &c policies enough to give them money. It’s a toughie, actually. in reply to richwolf #
• Ok. I give up. It’s time to replace the Razr, which has now taken to randomly shutting itself off. 3 years; not a bad run, I suppose. #
• @richardroeper *Tell* me about it. in reply to richardroeper #
• I mean. I know I put in the work for the classes. I’m just, y’know, sort of reflexively shocked every time I get an A. #
