SQUEEEE! I just checked my mailbox and found a package of lovely foodstuffs from @kobinaceous! :D http://twitpic.com/2mp1m
If I had lived in 1826 Europe, I so would have been a Felix Mendelssohn groupie.
I keep seeing Crumpler bags everywhere. It’s a sign, I’m sure of it! Unrelated: sometimes I use that excuse for my consumerism.
I should have gone grocery shopping over the weekend. I am out of strawberries, eggs and soy milk. These are, of course, crucial.
Aww, thanks router. I thought I was being too productive too. Joke’s on you, though, I save more frequently now.
Please stop saying “Totes McGotes (McGoats?)”. I’m begging you. All of you. Please.
I want Patrick Stewart to narrate my life, especially bits concerning girl boobs, household sponges and headbands with googly eyes.
I wish I liked #Dollhouse more. By “more”, I’m starting to mean “at all”.
Lights out and candles lit for Earth Hour. Hmm..now what? Maybe Animal Crossing (wild world) time.
I’m pretty sure the Screenvision guy and the Shamwow guy are related.
The waitress here is almost a dead ringer for Miranda Kerr.
Has anyone managed to snag a bandolier of carrots from @Woot?
I am so freaking excited for the movie Up. Only Pixar would make an animated movie about an old man and a kid traveling the world.
I opened the door and it almost flew off its hinges. It’s just a little bit windy in #Phx right now.
Realized I could put my time towards going through Google Reader, quickly decided to rewrite some Python.
Finished my to-do list and it’s barely noon.
I cannot. Stop. Watching. This. Video. Halp. http://tr.im/nomnomnomnom
On my third Irish coffee of the day.
Today: sushi lunch, I Love You, Man (funny movie) and How I Met Your Mother Marathon with a good friend.
I don’t get the demand for light beer. If you’re that concerned about calories, drink water.
Thanks to @kobinaceous, I’ve been obsessed with this site all day http://unicornkiosks.com
Yuki keeps sneezing, indicating he wants to be fed. I can name all the other things he does when he wants food, like breathing and eating.
There comes a point in everyone’s life when a line needs to be drawn. For me, that time is now. NO MORE WORLD OF GOO.
Happy 3rd birthday, @Twitter! Despite fail whales, the term “tweeted” and the influx of marketing bots, you are still my favorite site.
Happy birthday to @brickgeek. :) I swear, half the people I know have birthdays in March.
Far too amused by @NASA’s Mission Madness http://tr.im/nasamm
Signed into Facebook for the first time in weeks. When did the main page become a Twitter clone?
Oh, #Cox Communications, where would I be without your legendary level of suck? Probably something silly, like finishing my project on time.
To be honest, I couldn’t decide on a third tag so I went the Swarley route.
I should probably stop keeping my e-mail inbox as my to-do list, considering anyone can contribute to it.

Overheard in New York

One of the little things I really appreciate about @Twitter is the standard of fixed backgrounds.
Goodbye, Natasha Richardson :(
Watching Roadrunner cartoons. I’m apparently five again.

Thinking of buying a #Polaroid instant camera. I miss the ones I grew up with.
