I’m starting to like Last.fm radio better than Pandora. Last.fm doesn’t give me Madonna when I’m listening to Jeff Buckley.
I am convinced that the scariest moment is the one right before hitting ‘compile’.
It’s coming up on slap o’clock. I keep making embarrassingly easy PHP mistakes. I think coffee is in order.
I have to take a break from reading http://notalwaysright.com. It makes me mourn the intelligence of our species.
Cookies could use just a pinch more salt, but the edges are crispy, the centers are chewy and they are bffs with milk.
Doing some late night experimentation and searching for The One. By The One, I mean the ultimate chocolate chip cookie.
http://chi.mp just pushed out invites for everyone, I think. Anyway, I have a few if anyone wants one.

ONTD just exploded for the umpteenth time tonight, haha. #Oscars
I put my hair in braids before going to bed last night. Now I look like I attacked my hair with a plastic Playschool crimper from the ’90s.
I love that the Oscars supporting actor category has a bunch of serious roles…and Robert Downey Jr. for Tropic Thunder.
Like there was ever a hint of doubt that WALL•E would win for best animated movie. #Oscars

Building one hell of a SQL database. I am extending spring cleaning to everything, including porn and high scores.

I now wish I had created donotreply@gmail.com back in 2004.
Seeing Coraline again, this time in 3D. Hopefully there is a lack of people talking during this showing.
Pushing Daisies is more beautiful in Blu-Ray. Unfortunately, some of the sets also look even more fake.
Falling in love with Vampire Weekend all over again.
Picked up Geometry Wars for the DS. I can barely play it though, since it’s an arcade shooter game and the buttons on my DS lite are shot.
Finished with spring closet cleaning. Granted, I lost steam after three days in January, but it’s finally done now.
Coraline was delightfully creepy and wonderful. The only negative part of the experience were the guys behind us who would not shut up.
My evening consists of a dirty soy chai latte, a giant cookie and Coraline. I’m finally well enough for a theatre http://twitpic.com/1hzjn
Trying out Mojo Yogurt, which is Pinkberryesque. They do have more toppings, but the yogurt isn’t quite tangy enough.
Some guy named Mike has called my phone five times, looking for a woman named Mary. His last voicemail: “I keep getting a Jen when I call”.
Happiness is a giant bag of chilled gala apples.
Alton Brown’s blueberry show came on as I was thinking how awesome blueberry pie would be.
Squeeing over Futurama’s newest movie, Into the Wild Green Yonder.

Listening to the WALL•E soundtrack and trying to ward off a bad cold with chain coughdrop-eating.
Glad that @Starbucks added London Fogs as regular drinks, but they are much better with soy milk, no water and an extra Earl Grey tea bag.
