Updates for the week of 2010-08-22

Exposed @maureenjohnson to Wonderpets. She wandered out of the room afterwards, singing the themesong in Ming Ming's voice. #whathaveIdone #
"Look Despondent" (http://j.mp/92nDW2) – That was the command I gave MJ and Kate before snapping this shot. #
RT @maureenjohnson: Goodnight, Twitter. http://twitpic.com/2f7ec4 (that's mah puppy, right there) #
Want. DnD sports team tees. http://is.gd/ek2Hx #
Kaylee's 5th birthday today. http://bit.ly/bgGvBX She approaches this event with her normal reserve and composure. http://bit.ly/9uxcu5 #
RT @gamefiend: RT @myzt: The inescapable truth within "Inception": if you run a VM inside a VM inside a VM, everything will be very slow #
RT @theoriginaledi: That. Is a GIANT. DOG! :O http://twitpic.com/2f7ec4 (Jake isn't that big, @maureenjohnson is just jar-sized.) #
Best part of @GregStolze joining a comment-versation is his insight. 2nd best? My blog software: "Hey, welcome back – beer's in the fridge." #
This weekend (while all y'all slept off Saturday) I wrote about Nerd Stuff. It's here: http://bit.ly/93lsNw – Good comments. #
Bukowski's 90th birthday today. http://bit.ly/cvHr12 #
The thing I like about Bukowski is the disbelief in his own work. Not lack of /faith/, but head-shaking bemusement at its success. #
What I don't like about Bukowski is his advice to only write when struck by bolts of inspiration. I wasted years following that advice. #
Had a chance to examine @maureenjohnson's #jars this weekend. The occupied ones were nice, but the empties? All. had. labels. #
Via many RT people: “Hallowed Ground” — photos of stuff the same distance from the WTC as the “Ground Zero Mosque” http://bit.ly/b2oLW0 #
Tried to describe the Wedding of Awesome to work-related people. Gave up when the looks of horror became too pronounced. Kind of pity them. #
Adrift: I round the next corner. Jon and Deidre are waiting for me. Weird – they went the other way. De’s hair is … http://bit.ly/9MSxod #
RT @colleenlindsay: Eat prey. Love, with A1 sauce. #eatpraywhatever #
Anyone have a nice, stable space in which to get some work done? Yeah, my neither. #displaced #
Riled and grumpy. Trying to remember the road to Buddha is bumpy. This helps http://bit.ly/cF8UJz (http://bit.ly/absIuT) #
Random Average: A funny thing happened on the way to the Ruins http://bit.ly/9PEfAN #
So, that wedding I tweetcasted. Wanna hear the processional music? http://bit.ly/8X1xij(style%20c).mp3 – You're welcome. #
So, that wedding I tweetcasted. Wanna hear the @parrygripp processional music?http://bit.ly/cdvzeG (click on "Style C"). You're welcome. #
Adrift: When we split up, I ran straight into another time distortion. VITS found a place for Jon and Deirdre to w… http://bit.ly/bUfCDL #
Finally off to see Scott Pilgrim with @DaphneUn. But first, need to find the perfect soft drinks to bring, with complimentary power-ups. #
Scott Pilgrim, the Movie (review): what it lacks in depth of field (compared to the books) it totally makes up in clarity. Really enjoyed. #
Also: Scott Pilgrim's Toronto is the Dark City experiment, conducted on GenX – a time-detached place gleefully mixing tech eras. Loved that. #
LEVEL EIGHT: DoyceT vs. PubRevisions _ Round 3: Sudden Death! FIGHT!!! #
Car says the outside temp is 104f. #fallisintheair #
By the way: I love my Toyota Matrix. Love. My car. #
Hmm. Seem to have forgotten my phone at home. #Imnotpanicking #whywouldyousaythat #
Parasitic fungus controls ants (http://j.mp/aEBz1V) – The title along gives me the start (and finish) of a campaign-length game. #
Good Morning and welcome to DIA. (Or, as I like to call it when I have to get up at 4:30am, DIAF.) #mmohumor #zzz #
RT @robtrimarco: Look, Friday, don't give me any lip. Just shut your day-hole and hurry this shit up. #
How fun was the #dnd game with @cyface last night? I'm now really annoyed I deleted all my (legit) rulebook pdfs a few months back. #
(Also? Not entirely sure HOW I deleted the pdfs. Didn't think I had. I may not love the game, but I'd never willingly nuke old characters.) #
RT @parrygripp: I composed a wedding processional for @PaulaSimone and @herzwesten! You can listen to it here: http://bit.ly/ayTQxD #
RT @AntSteele: Eavesdrop and people watch in public places. One of the best ways to saturate your brain with realistic dialogue. #writingtip #
Oh goody. The in-laws have started the Obama-bashing. Time to queue up a podcast in the other room. #
I'm knackered, people – sleeping during the flight did not substantively counteract the 4am start this morning. #
Turned up to Eleven (http://j.mp/9jDIBt) – If this is the stuff that got cut, I can't wait for the actual episode. #
