Turns out wintop has Firefox 2.0.0.7 on it. It’s like stepping back in time! Would upgrade to 3.5 exc for unfixed cache-randomness bug. #
Am about to try powering on win laptop haven’t opened in … oh, probably pushing 2 years. Wonder how much time patching will take? #
Dear Citi: Is it intentional on your part that I should get a 404 page when I visit http://www.citibank.com? If so… bad call. #

I mean, I *wanted* to like the font (despite hvng to type bkwds) but it doesn’t have ssk! How do you not have ssk?!?! #
It saddens me that there seems to be no middle ground for Mac knit designers between “free but incomplete font” and “$185 chart package.” #
@hubbit I think you know the answer to that one… in reply to hubbit #
Hey @Kbcraigs, you working on one of these http://tinyurl.com/nxmpnp yet for your dorm room? Better get cracking! #
Surprise yummy middle eastern food day in the cafeteria! Looks really yummy… am a bit sad actually remembered to bring mine today. #

Well, at least now we’re only behind by FIVE. Sheesh. #
@writchrd Why are you not on AIM for me to have someone to cry about the #whitesox with right now? Don’t give me that “I have to work” crap! #
Dear #whitesox: What the shit? No, seriously, dudes…. *what the shit*??? #
@christensen Take two DRM reality checks and call me in the morning. in reply to christensen #
Huh, what? How did Cleveland score 6 runs in the first two innings? Am *I* the starting #whitesox pitcher today? (This would explain lots.) #
@Ipstenu Stop it, you’re giving me flashbacks to customizing my wordpress theme. in reply to Ipstenu #

SLOPPY, LAZY DEVELOPERS MAKE ME STABBY. #

Dear Joann.com: Christmas in July? Sale on holiday yarn? Is this truly necessary? I mean….yeesh. #
I really wish Outlook Web Access didn’t insist on waiting for me to turn my back and then timing out on me, all the time. Raaarrrrghghg. #
Working from home, and my Bluetooth mouse and iMac decided to start speaking again. I’ll be glad, for however long it lasts. #

Hey #whitesox….nice sixth inning there. And seventh. Keep it up. Don’t make the Snow Patrol listener get all emo over here. #
@smokes70 But I’m totally cheerful at the moment! Well….I WAS. in reply to smokes70 #
@YarnHarlot When you run the world, will you make knitting needles that are pointy AND not too slick for soysilk at the same time? in reply to YarnHarlot #
I don’t even find SP that sad in particular! Am I just not listening closely enough to find the poetry-authored-by-sad-13-yr-olds aspect? #
Goddammit. I hate it when I read smthing mocking smone for being emo & sad & listening to Snow Patrol, while I am listening to Snow Patrol. #
So the Gmail logo image no longer says “beta.” This must mean it is time to start the kvetching! Hooray! #
Wait, what? Da Mare is blaming booze and hot weather for Taste violence? Hot? I practically still wear jacket to work. You gotta be joking. #

@roninarc Your submission was much funnier than mine. Curse you! in reply to roninarc #
@redeyechicago zomg! you printed my CTA tweet! At last my 15 seconds of Internet fame have arrived! (Thanks, Beeps!) #
FYI: It is NOT AT ALL reassuring that the balcony guys’ scaffold-mobile thingie is bouncing and bouncing, 31 stories in the air. Eeep. #
@Burritoist Please tell me that was exaggeration. in reply to Burritoist #
