Updates for the week of 2009-07-19

  • Dear Aaark Electric (seen on a van during morning commute): You’re not fooling anyone, and angling to be first in a phone book is… quaint. #
  • Heh. Via @cyface RT @rdonoghue: schauden4ede, the pastime of enjoying people’s freak outs about D&D 4e (orig: @Judd_of_Kryos, @robertbohl) #
  • Although it *was* the weekend, I feel I left @Finnras hanging for two days. Let’s see about a few extra posts from him today. #
  • Adrift: I know Burns – better than I’d like, and well enough to regret. Right now, he’s stall.. http://tinyurl.com/l9829x #
  • A weekend of painting projects. Deck is 50% primed. Big bench with a million zillion nooks and crannies is primed, painted, and reinstalled. #
  • Unplugged for lunch hour. Sat in the park. Ate a wrap. Read a chapter. Unfurled a solar sail and recharged. Ahh. #
  • Weekend painting soundtrack was provided by Slacker Radio, streaming on my Blackberry. (Free download, free audio stream.) Recommended. #
  • Adrift: Educated guess: he wants to gut me on the deck of my own ship, AND wants what I know about Kaetly.. http://tinyurl.com/msdytk #
  • Don’t have the tools, know-how, or sufficient knowledge of the series, but Use Somebody (Kings of Leon) wld really work in a Dr Who fanvid. #
  • Sweet jumping Jebus, I managed to stick my foot in it this morning. There’s two hours of my life I won’t get back. #
  • Bah. Tried to see how hetero I tweet at http://www.stockholmpride.org/howhetero/ – but apparently I don’t use clichés. I’m compliffended. #
  • Re: hetero test: @Finnras is apparently a deeply conflicted soul. (Also, their list of ‘indicative words’ is ridiculous. Bodyguard? Really?) #
  • Free, neighborhood-wide ice cream social at the park tonight. Bad timing; scheduled on a day I (a) don’t have KK and (b) hate all humans. #
  • Adrift: The problem: he can’t ask me for anything in front of his people – comes across weak. Hell,.. http://tinyurl.com/mmss6v #
  • RT: @lapsedcannibal: Bill Moyers expose of health insurance company practices. http://bit.ly/xRhni #
  • RT: @DrWicked: Simon Pegg argues for a return to our slow zombie roots: http://short.to/jm1c #
  • I’ve hit that crazy gameday headspace where I lose all desire to play the game I’ve been anticipating all week. Happens .every. time. #
  • Adrift: Solution: I beg. For my life, my crew, my ship, my daughter. I beg to reveal what’s going o.. http://bit.ly/j8jy3 #
  • Dear Denver homeowners: I want to share – K&H Windows/K&H Home Solutions has authored the worst homeowner experience of my life. #
  • Random Average: [PTA] Ironwall, Episode 1: The Ambassador http://bit.ly/pkEgt #
  • Kaylee has been introduced to the concept of cold pizza for breakfast. She loves it. Genetics at work. Huzzah for Science! #
  • After I vid-skype her w/Kaylee, her grandma starts CCing me on ‘inspirational’ emails. Not sure she gets how positive reinforcement WORKS. #
  • Via @weedatheevil Inappropriate Soundtracks for Return of the King (awesome) http://bit.ly/mkm5h #
  • Adrift: He takes an underling’s weapon and pistol whips me – shuts me up before I say anything more.. http://bit.ly/ssaxk #
  • Random Average: [3:16] Actual Play: Reptiloid Chameleon Tricksters in the Goya Asteroid Belt &#82.. http://bit.ly/6Uq09 #
  • After careful self-assessment, I think it’s fair to say a day of house painting in 90 degree weather robs me of some of my childlike glee. #
  • RT @brianrathbone REMINDER: Have you backed up your website lately? Databases? Relying on hosts’ backups is not wise. #
  • Adrift: He has me hauled to the bridge. (*My* bridge, technically – I let it slide.) No one objects; Burn.. http://bit.ly/aOi5k #
  • Breakfast: gingery pancakes in The Skillet. Need some kind of reward for MORE PAINTING. *sigh* #
