Month: June 2009

• 10:53 Massively overslept. Maybe it’s the price I pay for *not* being hungover!! 🙂 #
• 10:55 Hrm–none of my goodreads updates updated here, why? 🙁 #
• 12:02 Brunch at the diner, where apparently people in this day & age still wear those tinted shades that clip onto eyeglasses and flip up! #
• 12:06 Read Intercourse by Robert Olen Butler – tinyurl.com/qe4du9 #
• 13:14 Downtown. Thought I was gonna write outside but it’s a blizzard of pollen out there! I succumbed to the lure of AC and WiFi. #
• 13:53 Funny how I caught this while at the library 🙂 RT @McSweeneysBooks "The Librarian: A Twitter Story" by Scott Douglas. bit.ly/VZdHj #
• 14:01 Maybe I just didn’t have enuff coffee; just can’t get my game on today. Maybe catching up on some podcasts will inspire me. #
• 15:18 Just the inspiration I needed right now. Sharon Jones interview w/Tavis Smiley. bit.ly/J2Sq5 #
• 16:33 Dagnabbit–caught in the rain w/o my brolly. Have to ride it out at the bagel place for now. #
• 16:38 All-day struggle to regain a positive outlook blown because of the twit who couldn’t be bothered to get my order right, the motherfkr. #
• 22:20 @moonfrye …never got to hear me tell her she was my first love. #

• 12:56 Forcing myself to open the #wip file and at least look at the damn thing ;). #
• 13:13 Glad I cracked the whip on myself, like a Carmelite Monk, to make myself edit the #wip! Why waste a lunch eating? 🙂 #
• 13:56 Looks like I can no longer use my beloved portableapps suite on the dayjob comp :(. #
• 16:20 Laughed so hard, my side is in severe pain. Gotta keep workin’ though haha*ow*! #

• 09:05 Hurm–my goodreads update didn’t update here. (As if that were the biggest problem I have right now heh.) #
• 10:29 Some people have clearly forgotten my rule: Don’t start none, won’t be none. #

• 21:37 Wondering if maybe, just maybe #BurnNotice is starting to lose its appeal? Still, never get sick of Bruce Campbell. #

• 16:44 Woe betide the next person to mess with me at the dayjob. Just ask the last person. This is what happens when you watch too much UFC heh. #

• 08:39 Day 9 #homealone. Once again, I stayed up too late watching BLEACH last nite. Groggily planning the 2nd day of my 3-day weekend! #
• 09:18 Uh-oh. French Open tennis–guess what I’m doing this morning. ‘S ok, I’ve written in front of the TV before :). #
• 09:34 Writing during the French Open is 1 thing. Cooking, not so good–put too much garlic powder in the eggs :(. #
• 09:46 I wanted Federer to win his first French Open too, but not in a cakewalk. #
• 09:50 Dude stormed the court & got tackled! If he got as close to me as he did to Federer, I’d have taken my racket to his head. #
• 10:54 At least Soderling is making a better show of it than Federer did vs. Nadal last year. #frenchopen #
• 12:28 Man, I /frakked/ up my website template. And I just don’t feel like fixing it right now 🙁 #
• 13:05 Taking deep breaths. Not in the best mood right now. Gonna head out with some books and just read. #
• 14:04 Of course the 1 time I hope to score a comfy chair at the cafe, all I can get is the writing spot I want 99% of the time. Story o’ my day. #
• 14:22 Making myself feel better by jamming to Toto, slamming coffee, and ruthlessly unfollowing to improve Twitter signal/noise ratio. #
• 14:27 Paying my misery forward 😉 RT @TaraBusch RT @quttinirpaaq bit.ly/10duvg behold the teeth gnashing horror of John Parr…. #
• 14:52 @AWDawno Totally agree! You’re the last person I’d unfollow :D. #
• 14:53 I diss John Paar but I’m publically jamming to this song hehe. bit.ly/eIdZP #
• 15:34 Watching a 10 mo. old baby (playfully) slap her grandpa around. He’s loving every minute of it. #charsketch #
• 16:41 I think I’ve regained equilibrium. Once I get dinner, I’ll be able to start the office reorg project interrupted by French Open. I think. 🙂 #

• 09:57 I want to read: MY DATE WITH SATAN: Stories by Stacey Richter – tinyurl.com/qplz6s #
