Anyone want to know what you do when you have a mouthful of cereal and feel a massive sneeze coming on? Yeah, so would I. #

rt @apelad If I ever get knuckle tattoos, they’ll read “f = ma”, and from then on that hand is only for punching. #
Am now caught up on Twitter. (a) No idea why I wanted to do that. (b) Jebus you people talk a lot. #

Best thing to come out of last night’s PTA game? The plural of Snuffleupagus. In conjunction with shape-changing magic. #

Today, I am wearing the Gir-suit. Maybe later I’ll be an orc. I have many options when I want to #gogreen. #
Asus #netbook received. Battery @ 60% after many hours making sweet, sweet configuration and writin’ stuff. V. v. pleased. Still not king. #
Still slogging through Redwall, but my will fades each day. Gah. Listen to me. Sounds like a bad recurring staff meeting. Shoe fits, though. #
RT: @sethsimonds: Twitter drinking game: Every time a green avatar shows up in your stream, yell “Freedom!” and take a sip. Enjoy. #

My current favorite thing on @writemonkey? The Repository. Go figure it out for yourself; I don’t want to spoil the surprise. #

Twitter switching maint to the middle of US day to reduce impact of downtime on Iranian users. Outstanding decision, Twitterfolk. /salute #
Turns out that the interviews going on for the last few weeks downtown were a waste of time/camouflage for an internal hiring. Bah. #
Writing people: check out WriteMonkey again. Pure word processor, wiki-style formating, write-or-die-like timer/quota, .doc export. Love? #
And hat tip to @rdonoghue for suggesting it both this week and last month. (Rob, I’ve been using on my netbook all morning. Most excellent.) #
