• I wonder how much of this is photoshopped, how much is bad makeup, and how much is horrible wasting illness http://tinyurl.com/cfg9xm #
• @ Maxie’s, celebrating Andrea’s birthday! #
• Full of jambalaya. Ready for cake. #
• Peter: “Did you know that you can’t run from a bear?”
  Me: “Bears can fly and shoot bullets from their eyes!” #
• Wasted time searching twitter for a link I skipped earlier. Just remembered the link was emailed.
  Sigh

• @slithy_toves No worries. Mondays do the same thing to me- hence the time I wasted searching twitter for an email. in reply to slithy_toves #
• I sent something to http://urbandecay.com as an exchange, and they not only processed it flawlessly, but also sent me a free gift! Awesome! #
• Anyone know what pagan holiday St. Patrick’s Day is a bastardization of? My five-minute googling before breakfast came up with squat. #
• Inspired by @rstevens, looking up cocktails with gin in them (to confuse barkeeps later) http://tinyurl.com/d6mnxa #
• Came home from work; slept most of the day. Recharged, at least! #
• Woke up with a headache. Gonna try and slog through the day. #
• Waiting for the Verizon website to stop being so effing slow. Decided to make myself some tea. #
• Just cancelled my #WoW account. Again. I just never seem to have time to play, and was wasting money keeping it active. :,( #
• Just spent a half hour debugging / rebooting my computer to figure out why sound wasn’t working. Turns out just my right headphone broke. #
• Unhappy with the government? Teabag the White House! http://tinyurl.com/cabr5p #
• Twitter SMSes are so far behind, I get them hours after reading them in Twitux. It’s like I know the FUTURE. #
• Finally finished Watchmen. Can go see the movie now. Craving calamari, but know it’s not on the menu. #
• I wonder when the power will come back. Oh well, at least the gas stove means we can still have a warm meal… #
• Told SO that I’m a PHP Rockstar (re: @AWPNY job posting, though I’m not looking for work ATM). His reply: No you aren’t. Later: What’s PHP? #
• When I see poorly secured bikes with quick-release wheels I am sorely tempted to remove a wheel and lean it up against the bike, as a point. #
• Stupid Cornell Store was friggin’ closed. Mumble grumble mumble. #
• My tweets, where are they? #
• There are so many male enhancement commercials on FX, it’s like rooting through my spam box. #
• A brief sketch, in memory of Space Bat: http://is.gd/o8RW #
• @ithacannoyed: #FollowFriday = :(
  Why should the people who interest you interest me (Or vice versa)? I’d rather find people with @TweetBeep #

• I miss writing perl. #
• Still no word on my car. I called the mechanic twice today – no answer. #
• Eatin’ dinner, watchin’ Aliens. #
• Tried to dye my roots last night. I didn’t bleach very well- the roots are showing through the blue as orangey/brown patches. Bah! #
• Saw Watchmen. It was good except where they changed it. Not enough squid. Also not enough Bubastis. Loved the shots straight from the comic! #
• Cloverfield dragon http://is.gd/omzC #
• @Pelmell You should only bleach to a yellow tone, and applly toner to get the yellow out later. That’s not necessary if you are coloring it. in reply to Pelmell #
• @Pelmell Bleaching roots is hard. But not so much for the color- you basically have to re-dye everything anyway (punk colors fade quick) in reply to Pelmell #
• Installed blacklight. Napped for several hours. Awake again. Behind on intertube surfing. Mild headache. Rorshach-esque monologue. #
• Okay. Back to bed. Again. #

And apparently sometimes you are much healthier for it.

• People are cool with vag in movies, but show a little cock and they get their panties in a bunch. #
• @TweetBeep When I try to create an account, I keep getting redirected to the sign up page. I’m not getting errors, it’s just not working. #
• Called mechanic. They opened the car and found more bits that need replacing. I’m to call at the end of the week for a time estimate. Sigh. #
• @TweetBeep NM, the layout made it unclear which fields were required, and the labels didn’t line up. Got it working. #
• Twhirl in Linux fail. Thanks for crashing my Xorg, Adobe AIR! It was about time I released some of that memory. #
• First sculpey octopendant crumbling… wondering if the age of the sculpey pre-baking has anything to do with it. #
• Feeling rather dyspeptic. Maybe food will fix me? #
• Random thought: would an ostrich wishbone make a good slingshot? #
• @SkarrKrow: Oh, I don’t have one. I was just wondering :)
  They are sold for meat though, so it shouldn’t be terribly hard to obtain one. in reply to SkarrKrow #
• Why is it that every day is “one of those days”? I might need a new line of life. #
• Pet peve: website design that makes highlighted text have the same foreground/background as non-highlighted text. WHY?!? #

  I don’t really mind, though. #

• O noes! My new Squishable octopus, Shoggy has a hole in him! Fixing. #
• Shoggy fixed… sorta. He has a nub now. #
• Stayed up too late watching The Atomic Cafe and The Day After. Hoping I get some apocalyptic dreams in before getting up at stupid o’clock. #
• San Francisco has much nicer weather than Ithaca. Yes, this is a surprise to me. No, it shouldn’t be. #
• I’m a doofus. I know I signed up for feedburner, but have no clue what I set my login to. #
• Well, now I feel even sillier. Feedburner uses my google login, of course. *facedesk* #
• For some reason, people think this sort of thing is somehow different from belief in a God. Weird!
