Just got netflix email that they’re sending me a movie I picked because I love some sampled dialogue from it in one song I love. Nerd. #
Yesterday’s jogging route: http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=2905358 This tool is kinda cool. #
Dear Saxophone Player Downstairs Playing “Careless Whisper”: Please stop. I no longer care if you’re ever gonna dance again. love, –s. #
Hooray! DePaul called back, HWC xscrpt arrived! Can has interview and registration now pls!! (Of crse both secs of class I wanted are full.) #
Hm. I suppose it’s probably too much to hope that the Nat’l Holocaust Museum shooting is random, non-hate-crimey violence. #
Frustrating: Emails and voice mails into an advising black hole when trying to register for classes for a term that starts Monday. Argh. #
#tubestrike drinking game: http://tinyurl.com/l4n3vg #
Also, MLB, Gameday’s “on-field delay” description in play-by-play does not explain gossip re: fight. Disappointing. #whitesox #
Never noticed this, but just caught “this disclaimer sponsored by” during “This bcast property of MLB & may not be reb’cast,” etc. Weird. #
Wandering off to break in the new shoes got from Universal Sole ystdy. They’re pink & shiny, so will be on lookout for mud puddles. #

Switching from Quebecois French indie to French French pop = immediate relief at being able to understand the accent. Ha. #
I am equal parts frightened of and compelled by http://pumpingstationone.org/geekprom/. #
Dear City of Chgo: My city sticker renewal sez 2001 VW Passat. Not a truck. Why does rnwal site insist is both a Passat and Class A Truck? #
Now, only one more WIP to finish before can start on next project – friend’s requested handwarmers. #
Candle Flame shawl – fini! Wet blocked and now it’s drying on my ENTIRE kitchen island. 78 x 48 inches (198 x 122 cm) – ENORMOUS. #

Oh, #whitesox. Why you wanna make me cry like this? #
Hey Apple, early adopter fanboys kept you alive during the Amelio yrs, what’s up with the #iphone pricing structure hate? Whither the love? #
Just watched “21” and got nearly, nearly done with Candle Flame shawl; probably abt an hour left. Plus Jubilee knitting @ Sox game. Go me! #

Wondering how this rain and 50% chance of t-storms is going to affect the Sox’ plans to play baseball this afternoon. #

Back from a ~80 mile test drive after rescuing the niquimobile from the mechanics. OMG I THINK THEY FIXED MY 4 YEARS OLD MILEAGE ISSUE! #
Am diving head-first into coffee, bitter at my inability to sleep late anymore even though I was up ’til 2 last night & 1 the night before. #
I don’t know whether my crush on @maddow or @anamariecox is greater. http://is.gd/PPsS But prob have to go with Hyde Park solidarity. #
Twitter comes back from maintenance and promptly starts crashing. I’m sorry, darling, it’s just, it’s been hours and I’ve missed you so! #
Okay. I’m feeling good. I’m empowered. I have my mojo on. I’m finishing this Candle Flame Shawl this weekend, or I’ll know the reason why! #
Really, you wouldn’t think there would be all that much cottonwood fluff thirty stories up, but you’d be mistaken. As I now see that I was. #
One step closer to getting my balcony back: they painted it today! (And now it has buckets of cottonwood fluff stuck in the paint.) #
Liberated car from mechanics; they only liberated $825 from me. Bargain! (It’s a German car. Any repair < $1k == bargain.) #
