Tweets for the week of 2011-07-17

  • Finished all but one peer review while Sean napped, then weeded all the flowerbeds while he waged war on his exersaucer. #productive #
  • Watching Sean with new sippycup makes me cheer for his motor control skills. Also elicits comments like "It goes in your mouth, dumbass." #
  • ExACTly! RT @TudorGrrrl: How come I can get free wifi with a $3 cup of coffee but I can't get it with a $150 hotel room? #
  • My office this week. http://twitpic.com/5p2pjv #
  • Totally. RT @boymonster: If I have to choose between Netflix streaming and Netflix DVD by mail, I'm going to be going for the former. #
  • Truth. RT @CRREdwards: There is no Hell half so tortuous as a pediatric visit serving up five shots to two thighs on one child. #
  • Wonderful/horrible: surrounded by fascinating people whom I (mostly) can't hear. #
  • Got to watch @libbabray utterly charm my daughter tonight. Or possibly vice versa. Or possibly mutual. #
  • In fact, thinking about it, @libbabray may be the first adult since @herzwesten whose name Kaylee immediately learned and retained. #
  • I've been watching @maureenjohnson and @FelicityDisco administering Lit Day at #leakycon and let me tell you, people, it is fearsome. #
  • Seriously, I would not want to be a #leakycon problem right now, because those two would fuck me up and scatter the ashes. #
  • Not the most sterling of beginnings to the day, but at least I have looming deadlines and parental worry to look forward to. #
  • Sometimes, being a grownup means giving up adult things. #
  • We have arrived at Mousewitz – err… Disney. Magic Kingdom. It's a small world something something. Like that. #
  • Public gatherings in America make me feel skinny. #relativity #
  • Horror & creepy s/f writers: you OWE yourself a trip to Disney, if only for the cheerful automated warning messages & fingerprint scanners. #
  • America: Get your fucking ten-year-old out of that goddamn stroller. The six-year-old too. Jesus. #
  • Best attraction at Disney: frigidly air-conditioned restrooms. Seriously, it's a wonder anyone leaves. #
  • Hit the Magic Kingdom today. Did something in every area and got pix (and Kaylee's 20 questions) with Winnie, Tigger, Minnie, AND Mickey. #
  • The best part of hitting all those high points in a single Disney outing? Knowing we're done and can go back to Universal tomorrow. #
  • Best Kaylee's quote of the day: "It's a Small World is THE Place to Be!" #targetdemographic #
  • Blink 182 is trending? I didn't think Twitter even existed in the 90s. #
  • Heading to some kind of Wizard101 tie-in themepark… I guess. #
  • I seem to have made myself mildly ill on Butterbeer; a funny little HP thing I would appreciate more if I weren't mildly ill on Butterbeer. #
  • I'm not a HUGE Harry Potter fan, but upon reflection I think the Forbidden Journey ride is the best park attraction I've ever been on. #
  • Highlight of Kaylee'a day: Unexpectedly meeting Dora the Explorer. Highlight of my day: WATCHING Kaylee meet Dora the Explorer. #hugs #
  • cognitivedissonance:

    Jake Gyllenhaal wins the universe. #

  • Our mid-afternoon flight is already marked 'delayed', with an estimated departure time of… 3am. Tomorrow. I'm suffering a WTF shortage. #
  • I've been out of the news loop for a few days; anyone know what the hellhell would be causing this massive flight time delay? #
